LowDownCentral.com - Feature Article - White House Character: "by Lance Thompson
The steady drop in President Obama’s approval ratings has been attributed to the recent acrimonious debate over health care reform. But I believe that debate is only a minor factor in Americans’ growing dissatisfaction with the president. The real source of Obama’s declining popularity is his character.
Every election of a non-incumbent is a matter of taking a chance. Political campaigns present candidates in the best possible light, and voters try to determine from all the hype and hoopla what sort of leader the candidate will be. However, it is impossible to be certain. We must infer from campaign themes and statements and behavior how the candidate will conduct himself in office.
Once the election is over, voters compare the elected politician with the expectations they formed while he was a candidate. They hope that he will at least be true to the promises he made during the campaign. In the best of worlds, he will exceed the expectations of his supporters and prove to be an inspirational and visionary leader."
