Could it be - other than the fact that Dear Leader's poll numbers have been as cooked as the economic figures, lo, since the beginning of time - that the public is JUST AS PISSED AT THEM because of their lack of testicular fortitude to do anything about The Holy WON of Shitcago abuses and usurpation of authority?

Just wait till the health care act goes into full force. Those liberals will be screaming bloody murder when their working hours get cut. Companies will just pay the fine cause it is cheaper and the employees will be on their own. The dump monkeys will be sh!tting bricks then, and those poll numbers will be down, down, down. Many Democraps like Reid and Schumer realize that the implementation of this dog is going to be a nightmare, and they are worried about the elections next year .

Just more proof of how correct the Limbaugh Theorem really is.

That's what I was thinking, Tx.  Doesn't make it any less frustrating, though.  I can't help but wonder who in the hell these people are that are being polled.  Quinnipeac had a poll earlier this week that did show erosion, particularly among Independents.

The DUmmies were giddy about this yesterday.  The validity of the polls is certainly a question though.

I don't trust any poll.

I can see them asking the questions this way:

1) Do you support the Affordable Care Act?

2) Do you think unemployment is still too high?

3) Do you think the economy is on the right track?

4) Do you think that the truth needs to come out about (insert scandal)


Then turn around as ask these questions:

1) Do you like/support what President Obama is doing to ensure everyone has health care?

2) Do you like/support what Obama is doing to bring jobs to those who are unemployed/under employed?

3) Do you like/support what President Obama is doing to revive the economy?

4) Do you like/support President Obama's efforts to resolve the (insert scandal here)


Even the pollsters help divide the President from his own policies in the way they ask the questions. 

That mixed with footage of him in his constant campaign mode helps to create the image that he's out there fighting against the mysterious "they's" and "them's" opposing his efforts to put the country back on the right track.

Nothing "mysterious" about the "they's" and "them's." He blames Republicans in Congress. Oh, wait. Bush, too.  :whatever:
