Obama doesn’t play RISK. He plays Candyland.

It’s not a game of RISK that I’m talking about.

Rasmussen has him down a point from Rasmussen’s poll yesterday, 45% approval. -11% approval rating. 53% disapproval. Going down like a rock. The Zogby poll yesterday was a total shock actually.

RE :”Agreed. it is insane. Now they have ticked off the radical Pelosi led marxists”

They are also mad about public option being stuck. They really get mad that feds spend money on war but not on new welfare programs. That is why Obama/Holder is pulling this phony interrogation investigation to distract them, and appease them. Otherwise MSNBC has to do stories every day on Obama’s failure on health care.

I was there during the Carter years. I'm not exxagerating when I say the similarities are striking.

Carter comes in after an unpopular GOP promising change.
Carter was condescending.
When the people realized they got a lemon, there were stories blaming and chastising the American people.
Carter had trouble with his left wing and Blue Dogs.
Although carter did veto a spending bill from his own congress and called it pork barrelled spending but Tip O'Neil and the boys overrode his veto

Yep. It was the original quagmire. “Malaise”, as Jimmah described and wallowed in it.

RE :”All’s MSNBC can do is bash Cheney and talk about Sanford over and over and over.

MSNBC has been talking about the health care reform too. This is where it's worth watching. Progressives Maddow, Schulz and Olbermann are daily calling for Obama to cut off talks with liberal republicans and ram something through pressuring blue dogs, and dems to get 60 Senate votes(Schulz calls them yellow dogs, LOL) . Schulz wanted single payer so he is cheer-leading 'no bill' without public option. (He is on our side oddly enough, we need to support progressives here, they are Obama's headache now)

Mathews on MSNBC Hardball is more pragmatic saying that Obama needs a bill, even without a public option, and admits reconciliation is not an real option. Liberal Lawrence O'Donald also said reconciliation will not work,.

Thanks. I know they say keep enemies close but I cannot stomache Matthews or Olbie. I think their only ratings are people watching to see how nuts they are.

I will watch it for you. I have learned to be careful about depending on conservative sources for all information. For example, many on talk radio like Hannity predicted a big win for NcCain. There is also a tendency to exaggerate the other sides strengths (ability to do things once elected) to motivate us. "Nothing will stop the democrats if McCain loses" was typical. After 8 years of Bush (esp the last 4 of hell) I do not want to be ‘motivated’again.

Sources like MSNBC progressives, and Air America can give you a reliable source for determining where dems are weak(if they admit it, they really are weak) . But yes, you have to be able to listen to endless non-sense. Maddow has been telling liberal listeners that before democrats won, the filibuster was never used in the Senate before. Republicans created it January 2007 LOL.
