I don't know.

This is what puzzles me, celebrating the popularity of this or that talking head when the political message they are selling has been rejected by the electorate - even in Republican-only state primaries - over and over and over. I understand that your political niche doesn't like Obama but the guy has maintained rock solid approval ratings since he was sworn in. That's why he gets to implement his policy ideas and the conservatives are out in the wilderness wandering around, angry and lost.

So far, the only real message from Republicans is a return to ideological purity that they assume everyone else must love as much as they do. But that "love" ain't showin' up in the numbers anywhere.

It appears Obama is willing to bow to Dictators, and talk to every terrorist organization on the planet in order to "find common ground", but he won't reach out to conservatives and find common ground with his own countrymen.

Must be true and the polls must be wrong.

From Gallup (conducted: 4/20-21/09)

* 56% say President Obama is doing an excellent or good job
* 23% say President Obama is doing an okay job
* 20% say President Obama is doing a poor or terrible job

Of course, Gallup is another socialist/facist/islamoterrorist organization.
