I am going to be kind and say that some of the people in Elkhart, Indiana are hurting and are looking at Obama as their savior. It is so, so sad.
The town of Elkhart may have to be sacrificed to be saved. Yet through their suffering....their pain, others may avoid the trap and honied words of the liberals as they lap their ears with the promise of a free lunch.
(not just people in Elkart who are idiots)
Gallup: 58% disapprove of GOP’s handling of stimulus

Commenters have been kicking this around in Headlines, trying to figure out how the GOP can be taking a beating when big majorities favor more tax cuts in the bill and less spending. My guess: A combination of Hopenchange fee-vah among the public and the fear that something big needs to be done soon, in whatever form. CNN’s out this morning with its own new poll showing that slim majorities support the bill — 54 percent overall and 51 percent of independents — but 76 percent approve of Obama.
He got high marks on the economy in Gallup’s poll, too. If this were being sold as the Harry Reid/Nancy Pelosi stimulus package, which is what it is, it’d be dead on arrival, but put the Messiah on TV warning about the end times if he doesn’t get his way and it’s just enough to eke out a majority in favor. CBS and USA Today recently found 52 and 51 percent support for the bill, respectively; after tonight’s primetime sermon, expect that to bump up to 55 or more.
