Open Thread: “Obama’s Ratings Slide Across the Board” (Pew Research)

From Pew Research Center, via Memeorandum.com: “The Economy, Health Care Reform and Gates Grease the Skids — Barack Obama’s approval ratings have suffered major declines. The president’s overall job approval number fell from 61% in mid-June to 54% currently.”
Here’s a suggestion: Why doesn’t President Obama talk about creating JOBS instead of repetitively using the same tired talking points about health care without ever explaining to Americans how his health care bill will help the economy, let alone create jobs. As a panelist on Bret Baier’s Special Report said yesterday, “Obama has EXHAUSTED his bully pulpit on health care reform.” Americans want to know what Obama is doing about creating JOBS, JOBS, JOBS.
It’s obvious to us who are cynics that Obama’s preoccupation with health care has to do with building a historic legacy, and not what the American people need most right now.
Check out the Weekly Standard’s Daily Grind for more on why Obama’s ratings are dropping.
