Just two months before the election, Barack Obama, which was erected in 2008 as the president most famous in American history with the support of 78%, go to the polls with less than 47% popularity. His little aggressive economic measures and high levels of unemployment, the deficit and public debt were stagnant the first black president has lost the confidence of citizens.
Its popularity has dropped to 64% in just 10 months after the election, in the spring of 2009 and ended the year with 50%, which was maintained throughout 2010. In 2011, it dropped to 43%, the lowest in history. Death of bin Laden in May granted a truce to the President, who found the favor of his people for a while. About 56% of Americans supported the President in May of this year, compared to 47% in April.
However, when the euphoria that followed the death of terrorist and military chief undisputed American victory was evaporated and the economic problems were still the main concern of citizens, yet surveys have decreased by 47%. Two months before the general election, this percentage is maintained. Less than half of the citizens are convinced that Obama return the country to normalcy.
Do
Among the biggest disappointments of the American people are omitted from the president of economic policies that have failed to improve the situation of families or at the end of unemployment of 8.1%. Currently, 15% of the population lives below the poverty line, more than 46 million Americans are barely surviving in extreme conditions, the same number as in 2010.
In addition, the eight million jobs lost during the recession, after two years in office Obama only managed to get 71,000, a rate that makes it impossible to end the crisis in four years as promised Democrat leader .
Also promises around Afghanistan have made a profound disappointment to citizens. Far from withdrawing troops, the president has increased the number of troops in the region.
When presented to the presidency in 2008, his lack of political experience was not a problem for the rapid ascent. Its origins, a mother from Kansas and a father from Kenya, who recently left a tan on the skin is a challenge for the country. United States faces a first African-American candidate.
Fever Messiah
Many voices spoke of the beginning of a new cycle. Although they were mostly empty voices were heard: "The arrival of Obama is like the trumpet that announces something new (...) the beginning of the New Testament" or "the man who lead the country to ruin to restore the grandeur of old. '
Some radicals as the leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, said that Barack Obama was the "instrument" that God would use to achieve universal change. However, not everyone was so hopeful with the arrival of "Messiah black." A major donor to Democratic calmed things down by saying: "Obama is a great man, but do not have time for someone who will do internships in this position." Men trust the book, Ron Suskind shows Obama. Slow, hesitant and uncertain of his economic team both very realistic images, and contrary to the idea of "El Salvador".
An idea that emerges from despair that causes the most difficult recession, the country has faced since the Great Depression. He reinvents the biblical myth of the savior. Obama: exotic, young, black, refreshing in every sense, appears with his campaign promises: to save the planet, stop climate change, oceans clean, rid the U.S. of the "tyranny" of oil obtained for future generations quality schools and health for all.
With his charisma and appeal to "hope" Obama also dazzled international audiences. In 2009, he was appointed preventive Nobel Peace Prize for their "intentions" concerning the relations of the United States with other countries. However, only nine months after his inauguration, the president had done nothing to deserve this award.
