Taking office the president earlier today announcing that another major job creation proposal is coming.
We -- this write its next week.
-- too late too little too late for a president looking to be reelected with -- already dreadful approval rating -- -- be house Fox News contributor former Clinton advisor.
Dick Morris -- latest book revolts.
But patriots guide how to defeat Obama and repeal his socialist programs is currently available on -- store shelves nationwide OK -- Judging by the title of your book I'm guessing you believe his chances of reelection have already been damaged added advantage beyond repair.
Yeah.
I think they have I don't think there's anything He can do to get reelected.
I think that it's worth putting those approval numbers in perspective.
One out of every three.
Of the voters who voted for Obama in 2008.
Now it does not approve.
Of his performance as president and one out of four.
Actively disapprove of his performance as president applauded and remember -- -- -- his approval was fifteen points higher than it is now.
And then the other data shows that it's gonna keep going down Zogby has a poll -- where He asked people that approve of Obama.
What they think of them.
And 34% of those who said they approved of Obama said they -- disappointed in him but not yet ready to say they disapprove of him.
And then we ask everybody how is He doing on creating jobs only 29%.
Approve.
As He doing on the economy only 25%.
Approve.
How's He doing on the deficit only 23%.
Perkins that's kind of like other than that how did you like the -- mrs.
Lincoln.
Yes they both an uphill battle -- sure for the president declined right now what can He say can you possibly say anything.
-- would do two things next week when He and unveils its new plan to -- appease the voters in really his base because as you said he's losing young people.
He's losing women he's losing a lot of demographics that -- only in the last election and -- to appease the conservatives to Wear a concerted would say.
You know what that's not that bad.
Canada might work.
Well look when Obama took office and He spent the 800 billion dollars on stimulus.
Which then had to be borrowed over two -- three year period and -- ultimately triggered about four trillion dollars of borrowing since the day He took office.
He completely gave away.
All of the tools of fiscal policy that He needs right now and to be able to reverse the situation.
Said the Fed lowered interest rates effectively to zero.
They've tripled the size of the currency and Obama has increased the national debt from ten billion to over ten trillion to over fourteen trillion.
So all of the slack has -- Are there is nothing they can do what he'll do is put together something with a small business administration and some loan program in some foreclosure thing and so on.
And heal hale it is a solution and then three or four months everybody you'll see that that doesn't work either unit and as He goes through each of these cycles his credibility.
Drops in drops in drops even with -- base voters.
You know Alice which -- -- little bit that because He had some news for me during the break He told me about the ground zero mosque in something we haven't discussed.
Very much lately but it's something that a lot a certain lease deals this write home with a lot of people out there and if you're not collect the -- about the tell.
Yet today's August 20 ninth but it might as well be April -- April 1.
They want to build this mosque on ground 02 blocks from where the World Trade Center towers -- it.
And it polarized everybody and some people said there yes religious freedom -- -- now it's rubbing our noses and it -- -- teach Sharia law there.
Well now guess what these guys are applying to the -- -- Manhattan development corporation in federally funded entity for a federal grant.
-- -- -- to pay for them to build their mosque right next to ground zero is not.
Incredible video this lower development -- the slow and and development corporation.
What would that originally designed it to do set up right after 9/11 it was set up -- help lower Manhattan recover from 9/11.
So the -- these guys who are gonna set up a mosque where they'll teach -- law.
And train the same kind of terrorists that caused ground the attack on the World Trade Center to happen want us to provide them with the US taxpayer money to made.
So well but I tell you what -- I think it's still polarizing issue because then you could say -- What -- -- about this particular business.
Or religious entity from any other that would want to come in -- that money is available and was made available.
For people to come in occupy empty buildings and put something of more than those buildings that have really become the judgment as to what is worth and what isn't where.
Well actually this is a new building that would be constructed from the ground up it's a mosque.
And that their community center.
Well I think the distinction is obvious here and and you know on my website Dick Morris dot com.
The upper right hand corner I have for petition.
That we started to collect signatures on today we're hopeful of getting several 100000.
To send to the Lower Manhattan Development Corp.
tell -- -- -- More than doubled from between did we got to -- we got to run outside about that but thanks a lot for that it is obvious that -- -- it quite a few people fired up.
And notes that doesn't lives that they must not -- -- think we appreciate it.
