Hardly a surprise, since there was nothing in the speech beyond "more of the same".
More massive government spending.
Tax increases.
More govt regulations and restrictions.
Soak the rich and take their money.
Trust the government, we're here to help you.
(Is it Nov. 2012 yet?)

Obama speech didn't boost approval
by Stephen Dinan
Published on September 13, 2011
President Obama's major jobs speech last week has not moved the needle on his approval ratings, according to the Gallup tracking poll.
The three-day tracking average stood at 43 percent approval on Sept. 8, and remains stuck there as of Monday. Disapproval, meanwhile, has ticked up 1 percentage point from 49 percent to 50 percent.
Mr. Obama's speech, to a joint session of Congress, was designed to lay out a vision for boosting the economy while still trying to tackle ballooning deficits and debt.
