The latest polls are confirming what most of us already knew. Namely that Obama has bent over backwards to try to be bipartisan while the Republicans have been deliberately being obstructionist just to be obstructionist. Almost 70% of the US population supports President Obama's stimulus plan while just 25% oppose it. Basically we're dealing with nothing more then the old Bush 30% who, right up to the very end, thought Bush was doing a great job and who really had no idea what was going on in the country. The Bush30 have been mentally out to lunch for the last 8 years so it is no wonder they continue to be out to lunch now.

The more Republicans obstruct the lower their poll numbers go. The cool thing is around 2/3rds of Americans approve of the course of action Democrats are taking but only 25% approve of what Republicans are doing. I'd say Democrats are doing the right thing while Republicans are attempting to play politics while America burns. The public knows it and this is reflected in the poll numbers. The Republicans and their nutjob followers are just deadending themselves and even Joe Scarebourough of all people admits this!

This is a TV report from Joe Scarborough's program n MSNBC. It's showing a snippet of something that was shown on TV.

It hasnt been re-edited, clips lifted and placed out of context, no scary sounds added to it, no commentary added.

Using "youtube as a credible source of information" means people using obvious edited propaganda videos, posted on youtube, as their sources of straight information.

Something like this:
Video of Michelle Obama Spewing Racism

Do you see the difference?

That's a clip from MSNBC, you know, one of those real news organizations. If you'd actually looked at the clip before you ran your mouth then you wouldn't be looking stupid right now.

"Run my mouth" whatever dude, you are just some talking head in Mira Mesa. I did look at the clip and, coming from that false reporting network called msnbc, I can''t give it crediblity and no one else who thinks unbiased does either. Talk about looking stupid, think before you run your mouth
