Obama's Approval Rating Drops 15% to 68%

The Obama administration made a very smooth transition with constant rhetoric of how he will improve the country once he takes office. Now that his first actions have been seen in office and the Inaugural celebrations and respect is over, his approval ratings sank 15% from 83% to 68%. What happened?

The Obama administration approved the closure of Guantanamo Bay without any plans or solutions to where these terrorists would go or how our agencies can gather more intelligence from them to prevent terrorist attacks (some of which were prevented because of interrogation of known terrorists). This obviously angered many Republicans.

The Obama administration also approved an air strike in Waziristan, Pakistan with Predator drones, destroying two houses and killing 10 people, which witnesses reported were relatives and owners of the house--not foreign militants. A second attack a few hours later killed eight more people. This must have angered anti-war liberals.

Then the tax payer money of a trillion dollars of spending to enlarge the debt which Obama campaigned against--must have angered just about everyone. Republicans are also worried about socialist policies disguised as stimulus packages, and Democrats are worried about increasing the debt so much that it makes Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Vietnam war look like a joke!

John F. Kennedy also had a much higher initial approval rating than Obama; I believe that is because John F. Kennedy was actually an inspirational speaker--Obama in my opinion simply has flowery rhetoric in his speeches with no substance.
