if you add all the TV face time of every president since Truman, does it total as much as Obama?   Seems like he's there daily spouting nonsense.

After the Feb 25th meeting where he tries to trick Repubs in supporting the health care plan, his approval  ratings will further deteriorate.

These eetings might not take place, even if Obama wants. If the Congress opens its' stealth plan monday aws advertized, there is zero point to a thursday staerting confrence.
Personally, I'd send ONE Congress animal with a staff of persons who had actually read the nonsense that Obama sent. Each person a seperate area of responsibility, who would relay to the Congress one questions that werecontrary to the citizens best interests. Further , would compare them with the area of the Congresses bill and ask how  it is even possible that the Rep. ideas can be integrated.

Almost certainly, they cannot be integrarted.

I would have required reading The Art of War and Rules for Radicals for all staff. I would have analysts on staff produce a TM that shows how the Dem's employ the tactics in these works, countermeasures and how to apply them to the dems.

The Dems are at war with the  Constitutional Government  of the USA, and they are not friends of freedom. The Rep. needd to respond in kind and PAY THEIR SPIES VERY WELL, INDEED!

Whooops.

-19 today (Sunday).

22% "strongly approve," and 41% "strongly disapprove."

Quote
The Approval Index has been lower only on one day during Barack Obama’s thirteen months in office. The previous low came on December 22 as the Senate was preparing to approve its version of the proposed health care legislation. The current lows come as the President is once again focusing attention on the health care legislation.

Quote
Currently, 39% of voters nationwide favor the health care plan proposed by the President and Congressional Democrats. Fifty-eight percent (58%) are opposed. Only 35% believe Congress should pass health care reform before the upcoming midterm elections anyway. Fifty-four percent (54%) say Congress should wait until voters select new congressional representatives in November.

If the proposed health care plan becomes law, 78% of voters expect it will cost more than projected. Voters overwhelmingly believe passage of the plan will increase the federal deficit and lead to middle-class tax hikes. Most of those with insurance fear that they could be forced to change their coverage if the health care legislation passes.

They're too stupid to understand that every time they open their mouth about any kind of nationalized health care their poll numbers drop.

I bet a hefty sum of those are Dems worried about losing seats if it's passed before the elections.

Susan Estrich Gets It 
Posted by: Carol Platt Liebau at 5:44 PM 

When it comes to health care "reform," the Obama administration is more willing to believe that this nation is populated by imbeciles who simply can't recognize their good fortune, than that they're peddling a health care bill that's a total clunker.

As Susan Estrich points out, it's not that the Democrats have a communication problem, as most of them seem to believe.  Indeed, untold hours of Obama rhetoric have been spent trying to convince people of the (mostly unspecified) plan's greatness.

The problem is that people simply don't want the product that the Administration is peddling.  As Estrich notes:


Quote
Quote
What's gone wrong is that people see the country swimming in debt, see the jobs recovery lagging, see friends and neighbors who are not even hanging on, and they just don't know how this administration is planning to pay for a massive health care reform effort.

That's right.  And they know an unbelievable narrative when they hear it -- and that's the one the President tried to use to "sell" health care reform: We'll all get more for less, and live happily ever after, too.

When has any of that ever happened, especially after the government gets more involved?

After the health care debacle on the 25th of Feb., that just take it up a few notches. Just hope the RINO's don't get suckered into their trap.

Naw, I'm thinking by Thursday we will see him below -20 due to the statement of continuing to ram the HCR down our throats.  I don't know how they count their 3 day polling cycle.  It could be as soon as tomorrow.

Strong Approve increase.  They must think they're getting their free ponies again.  And when they don't, that number will drop into single digits.

-15 today (Thursday).

Quote
It’s time for the one-day summit on health care legislation. Forty-one percent (41%) of voters favor the plan proposed by the President and Congressional Democrats while 56% are opposed. On the health care topic, 51% fear the government more than they fear private insurance companies.

New polling in the Delaware Senate race shows Republican Mike Castle still has a significant lead.

Quote
Just 10% give Congress good or excellent marks, while 71% rate Congressional performance as poor. Republicans continue to lead by nine on the Generic Congressional Ballot.

I mentioned sometime back in this thread that -20 is about the apex of the approval curve, unless he goes so bad that even the mushy middle abandon him.

And even so, he will never get past -65

Hi,

If anyone watched Hannity tonight the pollster Frank (someone) had a group from Philadelphia to discuss the health care summit.  1/2 democrats and 1/2 republicans.  18 of what appeared to be 20 are thoroughly disgusted and almost all of them want the health care bill scrapped and start over.  If the senate rams it through they will be livid.

I really find it hard to see any kind of bump in BO's ratings after seeing that focus group.

Laura Ingram was on O'Reilly and she feels the public is more engaged, and understands this health care bill, more than most any piece of legislation in recent history which is why they are so opposed to it.  The more BO pushes, the more the public pushes back.

regards,
