You are delusional. 58% approval rating. People love him. People "like" him personally (that includes me). As anyone who is looking at the polls knows, that is a totally different thing from supporting his policy. Rasmussen now has the Strong Disapproval rate at 37% versus the Strong Approval at 30%. The trend here is unmistakable: So, too, is the trend at Gallup: gallup.com As can be readily seen, the net approval rate has dropped from some 60 points (six months ago) to 20-22 points (this week). People like him. But they don't like what he's doing to the country. It is totally as predicted. People are willing to give him a chance, but he is not behaving the way they were told he would. As a result, there is a steady drain on his approval, and one that will continue as more and more people throw in the towel on their beliefs that he is "moderate". He is an extremist, and people don't want an extremist. Except for you and the other nutjobs on this thread.

RW, > You might not have noticed, because you have a job, but this is a "crisis and catastrophe" right now. You might not have noticed, but you're dodging the issue. Obama and Biden passed a "stimulus" that wasn't as strong as you hoped, only to publicly admit that they underestimated where unemployment would be today. You say wait and see, but the talk in the media is whether a second "stimulus" package is in the works. At least you and I agree that probably won't happen nor will it likely be necessary, but I wonder how long the pain will last until you go running back to big government for more help. Tenchusatsu
