Cheer up, roy. Bush's war in Afghanistan has lasted 10 years. His invasion of Iraq is now 8+ years. There's plenty to be upbeat about.

Opinions are like a....s, as they say. What you say is purely your opinion, and yours alone.

Actually, he's not quite as alone in that view as you'd like him to be...

0bama has already eclipsed Bush.

For every reason the left despised Bush, 0bama has double down on them, and in many cases 0bama even added to those same Bush policies.

I'm sorry, but have you ever taken a look at most polls? They RARELY sample more than a few hundred/couple thousand at the most. The less one knows about how polls are conducted, the less sense the answers make.

A poll is just a SUPPOSED representative sample of the population at any given time, which is why when the Nets do their polls, they rarely get a correct sample size based on party id - always tilted towards the dems.

Here you go - note the sample sizes;

Obama Approval Rally Largely Over

Quote:
Thus, it appears the sustained rally in support for the president after the death of the Sept. 11 terror mastermind is largely over. The drop in Obama's approval rating coincides with an increase in Americans' pessimism about the economy. Economic confidence also increased after bin Laden's death but began to decline early this month, perhaps due to reports of anemic job growth and concerns about the slow pace of economic recovery.
The killing of Bin Laden will not mitigate obama's incompetence and FAILURE on domestic issues.....but we knew this all along.

I ignore just about every rightwing jock there is. Dr. Savage is entertaining but most of what he says is tongue-and-cheek. Got any more "zingers"?

Also, that poll has zero history of Obama in it. That's why I said height of Obama (approval) bubble
