WAAAAAH!!! What is more, she was apparently “forced” to go on food stamps – I wonder who held a gun to her head and forced her to fill out the paperwork?

And Michelle’s father on a “modest” salary as a water works employee. HA, public works salaries are usually very generous.

And about how Obama was “out-spun” on the stumulus PR, um no it is called “facts”, not “spin”.

Who actually believes this load of crock?

Although I love this from the comments section:
“Face it – Unless Obama goes on vacation again his poll numbers are going to keep going down.”

I for one would love it if Obama stayed on vacation for the next 2 years, it has got to be cheaper for taxpayers than him being prez.

But he had dyslexia. 🙂

But in the end it will be a short period of rhetoric followed by massive disappointment.

Plus a great majority of the American public want someone to *lead* and he appears to do that for a few days. During those few days he gets a few decide that maybe, just maybe, he has seen the light (after all he wouldn’t be the first President to do so) but quickly they fall back into reality too.

I mostly smile and nod my head when hearing the Democrats I know talk about it – for the most part even the believe he is just spouting nonsense though he can get them good and worked up over the Evil(TM) Republicans. That is the best he is doing, not really adding any approval to what he is doing, just approval from his base in his attacks.

It’s just enough for the true believers to keep some level of optimism but they will do so even when his approval drops into the 30’s or below. I just have to note that “approval” suddenly means “I do not disapprove” and what he is saying is mostly what people expect. Under Bush “Approval” truly required approval, I say let them live in their fantasy world until the end – we are stuck with it and frankly we are better off if they do not get a clue on how to manipulate approval.

I still wish everyone had kept quiet and we could have simply surprised him. Well, considering his vast intellect and the smarts and experience of the people around him, combined with the media as it is and the enclosure within which he and his stay… It might still be a huge surprise.

That was priceless. I think we should invest in companies that make remote controls because a lot of people are going to wear theirs out zapping away from the constant whining. He’s like a kid in need of a good whack on the rear.

Plenty have pointed it out. What we had to wait on was people willing to hear it.
