YANK-ING THE CHAIN ON OBAMA

HIS reign as the face of the U.S is in doubt, as the American public will decide the fate of their current leader in this year’s upcoming election.

The punchy Presidents points plummet, as Obama looks increasingly unlikely to regain his position as leader of America later this year. A recent survey by The Harris Poll found that only 36 percent of Americans believe that Obama will be re-elected. There are currently four Republican candidates in the running to challenge the President, and in January, the poll found that under half would vote him in to power again.

Why the change?

In the same survey, the direction of the United States is going down the pan according to 75 percent of Americans. They feel that the government should challenge important issues… such as unemployment.
That is according to 42 percent of Americans; the other 58 percent must be the employed people. That percentage is split up into people that think the government should challenge healthcare, taxes, and the economy.

The great country of America seems to be in a state of emergency, as that equates to 100 percent of the American public believing that the country has major issues. Surely a man who has lead a country into a state of crisis such as this should be reprimanded and put in front of court for crimes against his country?

Not guilty your honor, I hear.

Why is that?

Let’s take a look at the past year, and what Obama has done for his country. He visited the home nation of Ireland, and delayed all flights in and out of Dublin for 30 minutes, whilst receiving gifts from the people of Offaly, including an ancient scroll, and a diamond pendent in the shape of an Offaly flower for Miss Obama.

Not Helping?

He had promised to pull all American troops out of Iraq, and in December 2011, the plug was pulled as the last convoy of U.S troops left after a nine year stay in the Middle East. A big step forward in his pledge for American votes, but when it comes to the British public, what do they think of Obama, and what would they like to see happen?

A spokesperson from Hull College described President Obama as ''a big lame duck, someone who stays in his office all day, and doesn’t do his job.''

Well, if that’s the thoughts of the rest of the British public, Obama must be quacking in his boots.
