HaHaHa!

Peter, while I'm certain that you have strong feelings and emotions of the subject of the President... regardless of that you supplied *nothing* in the way of objective evidence to support your rather bald assertion and bold prediction that "[President Obama's] initial surge of support from Republicans he extinguished with his partisanship" and that "he is on a trajectory for joining Pelosi as one of the most hated people in America".

I mean, Hell, *although you didn't post it to me* I do know that ONE national poll came out last weekend showing his strong approvals down to "59%" (at the exact same time that FOUR OTHER national polls came out which showed his approvals unchanged in the low 60's... and Real Clear Politics' average of all the most recent national polls show him still quite steady with an over-all support number of 62%, and his GOP support at about 44%....)

There is not much of a spread between 59% and 62% --- the difference is entirely within all those poll's statistical margins of error. :-)

...All this just one week *after* a very hard-fought battle was concluded over the high-profile Stimulus Bill. (And, I might add... just a very few days *before* his address to the nation before a joint session of Congress, likely I guess to cause a short-term *boost* in his numbers in the next set of polls to come....)

So, aside from your very personal 'druthers... it seems that the AVAILABLE EVIDENCE thus far to support your claimed Titanic-like path for his popularity seems just NOT THERE YET.

Which is why I said this when I replied to your post (& later asked if you regularly consulted 'chicken entrails' to arrive at your predictions <g>):

Have you forgotten that you PRESENTED ABSOLUTELY NO 'FACTS'?????????

All you posted was your *personal gut feelings*.

Sorry... but it simply AIN'T any kind of "ad hominem attack" to just point out that you only posted your personal opinions --- and NOT any kind of objective facts.

(No disrespect to you intended at all... and, I'm *sure* that you hold your own personal opinions in very high regard... but they simply AIN'T 'facts', they are still OPINIONS.)
