It's ok that you are dead wrong once again AD.

You may take solace that you aren't the only observer from outside the US who suffers from the delusion that presidencies "hang by a thread" if the almighty Approval Rating dips below the magic threshold of 40%.

This is a popular "no-thinkum" gauge dreamed up by mouth breathers with IQ's in the two-digits who can't think their way out of wet paper bags.

The Presidency of the Greatest Nation on Earth is not run on the silly notion of popularity in the polls. Not all positions and circumstances are going to please every person in the country...life just does'nt work that way. This will be hard to believe, but sometimes a President must forge ahead and live with decisions that piss everyone off...that's his job. Lots of responsible adults understand that and learn to live with it.

Unfortunately when the POTUS screws the pooch... we all have to live with it.
