JUST WHO ARE THE 38%?

A perusal of the polls on Real Clear Politics shows that President Barack Hussein Obama's approval numbers have dropped precipitously.  Major polls now indicate that his approval rating is down around the 38% range. To most, that would appear to be calamitous.  However, considering all the failures and shockers associated with this administration, it is surprising that the numbers are not even lower.

To reiterate, there is the Benghazi tragedy, the IRS scandal, Mr. Holder's ignorance of Fast and Furious, Justice Department harassment of journalists, roadblocks against voter ID laws, the collapse of any sort of coherent Middle East Policy, and a naive effort to bridge differences with the Mad Mullahs of Tehran.  And, to top off these failures, there is now the mother of all failures in the form of Obamacare.  And the administration is looking even more ridiculous as it looks for a quick "fix."

With a Democrat in the White House and Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress, Obamacare was rammed through, with no thought given to the majority of the American people who disapproved.  Now we see that the reluctance of Americans to support Obamacare was well founded.  It is a disaster that just keeps getting worse day by day.

If we were under a parliamentary system in the U.S., this administration would be long gone.  As it stands with our constitutional form of government, we have 3 more years with a president whose actions have shown that he has little or no regard for constitutional restraints.  Our saving grace is the hope that in 2014, Americans remembering the excesses of the Democratic Party, will vote to expel Democrats in droves from Congress.

But, again, what is perplexing is that there are apparently still 38% of Americans who believe that President Barack Hussein Obama is doing a wonderful job.  In pondering who makes up the 38%, we are confronted with various possibilities:

1.  A significant cohort of the 38% could be composed of people who are just downright stupid.  And this may be a distinct possibility, as the IQ level of Americans has been dropping steadily over the last few decades.

2.  Many of the 38% could be made up of those who don't pay attention and prefer to spend their time watching "Storage Wars," "The Jerry Springer Show," and, what is it?  You know, the program about the silly wives in New Jersey.

3.  And then there is the "gimme factor."If those who always have their hands out for "gimmes" are polled, they would likely be very pro-Obama.  So, the Obamaphoners, food-stampers, Medicaiders and various and sundry recipients of various and sundry benefits are probably pretty prominent in the 38%.

4.  Then there are the die-hard "progressives" (formerly known as Marxists and leftists) who just don't like much of anything at all about the U.S.A.; and, if the pollsters are able to reach them, they'll be giving the high-sign for Obama.

5.  Finally, government bureaucrats and employees on all 3 levels, who now make up a large proportion of the electorate, want to see more goodies flowing down the great Washington pipeline, even if it means that monstrosities like Obamacare are foisted on Americans.  For sure, they would be in the Obamacare camp.

So there you have it!  The 38% figure must be fairly accurate.  But, if things continue their downhill slide, even that number could get smaller. Dear readers, remembering that, let's hold out until November of 2014!

Deo vindice!

God bless Texas, and may the Lone Star State remain forever red!
