Health Care is Driving Obama's Approval Numbers Into the Toilet

This bit of news from the Rasmussen Daily Tracking Report tells the story:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 22% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. That is the lowest level of strong approval yet recorded for this President.

Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -19. The Approval Index has been lower only on one day during Barack Obama’s thirteen months in office (see trends). The previous low came on December 22 as the Senate was preparing to approve its version of the proposed health care legislation. The current lows come as the President is once again focusing attention on the health care legislation.
This week Obama plans to unveil his health care proposal - before the Feb. 25th PR event with some Republicans and without their input - and the American people have pretty much had it with his attempt to ram this down their throats. This week's event will be a disaster for him...assuming the GOP doesn't do something stupid, and that's never guaranteed.

The moment Obama's plan is released the GOP should immediately announce their decision to pull out of the Feb. 25th media event. It should be clear to even the densest of them that Obama has no plans to negotiate or "hear their ideas". He only plans to lecture them and make them look stupid on national TV. Get out now, GOP, before you end up as wallpaper for his PR stunt.

He seems bound and determined to sink himself and I'm more than happy to watch.

Hopefully we have someone in the Republican Party who has enough guts to lead the procession out of congress before they are made hamburger by Obama. Obama is planning nothing but a publicity stunt and the Republicans should have no part in it.
