Obama's approval rating of the American public has fallen to an all-time low, according to a new Gallup survey of White House residents and employees.
Fewer than one in 10 Americans earned the president's favor, according to the president. That is down sharply from six in 10 — the percentage of Americans Obama approved of shortly after his election in November 2008, and the lowest level yet for his administration......."They're not doing a very good job, frankly," said the president......

Americans eat too much and don't get enough exercise, says First Lady Michelle Obama — a view echoed by her husband's administration. "Today, we outline a vision for the nation that requires parents, neighborhoods, the medical community, employers, schools and individuals to take a coordinated and comprehensive approach to combating overweight and obesity," said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius last year.
The public doesn't pay enough taxes. There are "things we need to pay for as a country," the president stressed.
