When did Obama become so hated by the public?

Don't equate disagreement with hate. You have been programmed well.

Hated is a strong word, disliked, don't approve, or unfavorable is probably the scale most are using when measuring public opinion.

That being the case, Obama got in with somewhere between 52-56% popular vote, once he started going it went up to 57-58% (indies who voted against him were starting to feel excited), the stimulus bill dropped it a bit (don't recall how much), the health care package till it's actually implementation dropped it below 50%, a perceived lack of power/will (progress) by progressives dropped it to around 45-47%, and that is roughly were we are now.

Hes only hated by ignorant folks in the politics section of Y!A

Honestly, he didn't. This is just the people who need other people to help them feel important. They complain to each other all the time. While they complain one of the people in my family walked right into a very high paying job so I appreciate that they are blaming him. They weaken themselves this way. To be empowered a person must be repsonsible for their life. Those who hate Obam are powerless weenies.

I don't like the word hate used like this, it implies something personal. I dislike everything he's done in office. I dislike his choices for his cabinet, his choices for S. Ct. appointments, his Atty General and his hyper-sensitivity to any criticism.

Started out that way except for the few that actually voted for and support him. Obama is the president of the few, the many are without leadership.

Since when has the right fringe become the whole public?

i would not use the word "hate"..that's a liberal standard "label"..I would say very disappointed..1st..he continually does not listen to the American People. 2nd the day he had a meeting with repubs and dems and said.."look..I won"

When he stopped campaigning and actually had to run something and be accountable.

the right promised to hate him back in Nov 2008. They just keep getting noisier so it sounds like there are more than there really is.
