Only after the polls recently started showing Obama that the country was unhappy that he wasn't "going to the Gulf and paying closer attention" did he start.

Last night on ABC's Evening News, Diane Sawyer said "President Obama is currently on his fourth trip to the ------ gulf".

She made it sound like he is sooooo attentive! Yeah, only in the last couple of weeks! Only after his advisors said, "Boy, you need to get your ass down there and look like you care!"

Prior to the discontent polls, he wasn't doing shit about the Gulf.

Now he's talkin' tough and is going to beat up BP's CEO tomorrow.

Give me a break! He's an actor playing to his audience. And that's just what he's going to do tonight.

Stupid poll will bounce right up tomorrow in his favor, because he cares about the people and the wildlife of the Gulf !!! Ha. Ha. Ha.  :censored:

The majority of people are too busy with outside activities and their kids being out of school, and their own lives  to pay too much attention to the Gulf area situation, unless they are directly affected either by living there themselves, have relatives there, or going there for vacation.

Looks like a pre-speech drop.

Don't look for much of a bounce from this speech when even Keef Obertard slams Zero.

There may be - it seems his speech was designed to mollify the mushy middle. So, I suspect some in the both the love and hate columns will move to the middle in their opinion on him, having the effect of improving his numbers with this graph.

Maybe not...it's been all over the news this morning that the meeting with the two bigwigs from BP was going to only last 20 MINUTES!!!!!

That's a photo op....nothing else.

As someone put it on Fox this morning...I think it was Karl Rove...."it will be a video the equivalent of a 'perp walk' of the two BP guys walking into the White House.". The Administration is hoping that it will mollify the American public and show them that Obama's kicking somebody's ass and he's in charge.

Oh pleeaaassssssssse.  :censored:

The left ain't buying it, the right SURE AS HELL ain't buying it, and there's no reason the mushy middle would either.

Watching Fox late last night, then earlier this morning....seems to be a lot of people who were just pissed off before have become extremely angry after last night's little speechifying.

Hopefully you are right - I would love Obama's new base number to be pushed up to about -20.  :-)

Just kinda hanging out, really...



But his OVERALL approval is down to 41-42 percent.  IOW, it's getting to the point where there are the Kool-Aid drinkers, and then there's everyone else.

The more gradually this slides downhill the less likely a rapid recovery. Ther more likely his "mojo" is lost forever......and I'm praying that it and he just go away, say Kenya, for good too.

He's using this spill to try and get Cap and Trade passed. If that happens, I don't even want to know what the "-" on the approval rating will be. What was Carter's lowest? I feel that Obama's will be a decent bit lower when all is said and done. I fear riots or something could also be a possibility.

PS: "When All is Said and Done" by Tyrone Wells is an excellent song. I highly recommend it to any women folk in the cave. Very touching.

I'm usually very anti-PC. However, that's a word I try to avoid whenever possible. It stems from me using it in the 5th grade when some black kid REALLY pissed me off, and I called him that. Almost got the shit kicked out of me.

I use every other word in the book (though I try to avoid the "C" at all costs except when it comes to women like Pelosi) however, the word in question brings all bad.
