makes no sense what so ever!

maybe they are just polling Dems to give Obama a false sense of security?  :-)

I seriously believe that Winston Smith - the real, mainstream propaganda ministry version of Comrade Smith, of course - is cooking these polls more often than not.  Think about it: the public at large relies on these polls for a number of reasons, from seeing where the rest of their countrymen stand in reference to their own opinions, to evaluating the weight of the various issues of the day.  Why wouldn't the regime tweek a poll as necessary in order to push the public in a way which would further it's agenda?  It has to have seen how the public reacts to the release of new polls as well as anyone else here has.

What the hell?

The only thing I can think of is the gusher in the gulf is stopped. That's the only explanation at this point.

People have been hearing about Michelle and thinking she's a bitch so they are feeling sorry for him.

Topics like race and the First Lady should be off limits to Repubs. Although, I agree she is a racist, anti-American bitch, calling her on it will just make our side look mean and disrespectful. Bashing her about her and the WH extravagant spending will do our side little good either. We need Independents and women to win in Nov. and in 012; so, lets not fall into that trap and wind up pissing them off.

It wasn't just the conservatives talking about Michelle's travels, even some lefties are talking about it.

God DAMMIT!!  While I will not personally decend to using race as a means of attacking the Asshole In Chief and her *****-whipped illegal immigrant Husband, you are way off the mark if you think that faking respect for these assholes is going to win us anything. 

These people are engaged in "the FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION of America" (their words, not mine), and I can count on one hand the people I know personally who are looking forward to where they intend to take this country. 

So no; I don't respect them, and I would be just as phony, and condescending and untrustworthy as they are if I chose to act like I DID respect them just because of some misguided desire to "get along" or "keep things civil".  This isn't a *******ed debating society; this is our COUNTRY they're trying to destroy.  Damnit; doesn't that mean anything anymore?

As far as "pissing them off" goes, I hope they fail at every step in their efforts, sir.  I intend to do everything in my power to see to it that they fall flat on their ****in' faces, and then pointing and laughing - loudly - every time I succeed.  What they want for my country pisses me the hell off; the least I can do is return the favor.

The anger at Michelle going to Spain has nothing to do with race!!

It has to do with that $300-400,000 trip - if one that expensive was necessary - could have been spent here in America!!

It has to do with most people can't afford to take their children ANYWHERE this summer, let alone an exclusive hotel in Spain!! (anybody seen the pics of the hotel? more than 50% of Americans, probably closer to 75%...WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TAKE A VACATION THERE!)

It has to do with the HYPOCRACY of telling the American people to tighten their belts and get through this recession....while taking yet another expensive vacation!!

The fact that I am bitching doesn't have a damn thing to do with the color of their skin!!! I don't give a rat's patoot what color their skin is....I care what they are doing to this country!!

Try more like 90-95 percent, deb.  I don't see myself going to Europe again anytime soon, if ever.

-19 this morning. His approval ratings have more ups and downs than a Duncan Yo-Yo.

-19, that's what it is now? It hasn't been out of the negatives in months now. The overall is somewhere in the 40s approval - things like this trip to Spain aren't so easily forgotten. As for the race card, the Obamas have long worn that out.

You are probably right, Sparky. I was taking into consideration those, those like you and I who have already been. I know I won't be going anytime soon, either....if ever. I do hope to get to Scotland though before I die, I want to see where my Gran grew up.

Is that a new "high mark" ?

Scanning through the trends, it's tied with May 26, 2010 for worst spread.

-22 now? What?

I can never figure out this number . . . must be word of Moochelle's trip to Spain is being spread. They're supposed to go to Martha's Vineyard soon, too, of course. Most polarizing First Couple ever, at least in my lifetime.
