STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY:
Public Starting to Question Obama Economic Policies: Despite the President's Popularity, Polls Show Waning Support for Economic Policies (JAKE TAPPER, June 18, 2009 , ABC News)
Obama's spending proposals, plus a record-breaking national debt inherited from President Bush that is projected to grow, could be the President's political Achilles heel and one reason he often underlines fiscal prudence as a top priority.The percentage of people in a Pew Research Center poll out today who expressed approval for the way Obama is handling the economy slipped to 52 percent from 60 percent in April.
Recent NBC/Wall Street Journal and CBS/New York Times polls showed that nearly six in 10 people said the Obama administration is not doing enough to reduce the deficit. The Pew poll showed about the same percentage disapprove of the government's spending billions to keep General Motors and Chrysler in business.
It's exquisitely easy for the GOP because demanding deficit reduction is a popular way of attacking everything Democrats want to do. Posted by Orrin Judd at June 19, 2009 6:59 AM
