As I see more and more GOP debates on TV, I realize how badly the public wants Obama out of the White House as soon as possible. With an approval index of -23 (20% of people strongly agree with him, 43% strongly disagree), his days seem to be numbered as long as Republicans can choose a decent candidate. Based on conversations that I've held with people, the general leniency is toward Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Herman Cain or Newt Gingrich as the GOP frontrunner.
Because Obama has not come through with many of his campaign promises, citizens are getting fed up. We (myself included) have had enough of the cluelessness that is driving this country into the ground. Obama's lack of experience in both the private and political sectors are coming back to haunt him. It took America three years to realize that the government can't spend its way out of a financial crisis. I certainly hope this isn't a lesson we'll forget anytime soon.
President Obama is kicking off a three-day trip to Western states to try to earn back some Hispanic support. Recently, polls have shown a drop in approval rating among Latino voters. They have been hit the hardest since this economic downturn started. In states like Nevada, where unemployment tops the nation at 13.4%, voters (Hispanics especially) are looking for a candidate who can stimulate the economy and provide jobs for them. If he plans on keeping up with the Republican field, Obama needs to persuade these key Western states that he in fact is the man who can help put the country back on track.
As Americans, we all realize the importance of voting. With the 2012 election just a year away, we now need to realize the importance of choosing the right candidate. Some of us will be old enough to vote when the election comes around. Therefore, I urge everyone who reads this post to continuously ponder who they would want running the country if the election would be held tomorrow. Our nation can't afford another unproductive and inexperienced leader.
