President Obama — who just came off a poll that showed his favor with America had dropped to an all-time low — nonetheless told a high-dollar fundraising crowd that he’s doing “pretty good” and that all’s well on the White House front.
“Whenever people ask me how I’m going, I say, ‘Actually, I’m doing pretty good,’ ” Mr. Obama said, The Hill reported. “I love the work. It is an extraordinary privilege to every single day work on behalf of the American people.”
The president did recognize that the Islamic State situation had created a “sense of urgency overseas,” along with Ebola and Russia’s aggression into Ukraine, The Hill said. But despite all, his outlook was positive — especially since Ebola has only claimed one life on U.S. soil, he said.
“So far, we’ve only got one person dying of Ebola, but people are understandably concerned in part because they’ve seen what’s happened in Africa,” Mr. Obama said,
“This is a virulent disease and it is up to us to once again mobilize the world’s community to do something about it — to make sure that not only we’re helping on a humanitarian basis those countries, but we’re not seeing a continued epidemic and outbreak that can have a serious impact here.”
Some obviously disagree. How do you actually judge his performance? Let's remember, he had absolutely NO qualifications for the job, we're not even sure if he met the basic qualifications. I think he has done a miraculous job, just getting the job. There are still many just shaking their heads wondering, who is he, where did he come from, what happened? The fact that he "is" where he "is" ... is in itself ... one heck of an achievement. NO qualifications, NO experience, NO background, NO credibility ... he COULD NOT beat Hillary, but he did, he COULD NOT get his medical program passed, but he did, he COULD NOT win reelection, but he did .... there was NO WAY he could become president .... BUT HE DID. To me, his performance, pales, in comparison to what he did to get elected. I am still skeptical that he will ever leave the White House .... there is NO WAY he could do something, enact something or do anything that would enable him to stay on .... as president, is there! He may be our last president .... and the first ... emperor or dictator or whatever term he decides to call himself .... NO WAY that could happen ..... is there?
