Except for this fact. Dear Reader is being propped up by the false notion that Bush, not him, is to blame for this economy.
In every poll the majority of Americans still blame Bush for this economy. 0 is getting the benefit of the doubt from the "let's give the new guy a chance" moderates.
The number who believe this notion is steadily the longer the Economy stay stagnate. In the next year most people will switch from holding Bush accountable to holding 0 accountable for this economy.
When that happens this favorable number is going DOWN
This is a reasonable response in most instances - it's stupid and unreasonable to expect the big ship of the economy to turn on a dime under any administration's actions, good or bad. But most brain-dead Ø supporters forget that we've had a democratically controlled Congress to two years prior, laying the groundwork for the economic suffering we're seeing now. I don't exonerate all Republicans for their complicity in this housing fiasco (the main cause of this economic upheaval), but Democratic policy is the root of what went wrong.
Yes, as we continue to languish in this economic recession, (despite the recent market rally, it will get worse), more Obamabots will be shaken loose from their moorings, and at least not strongly approve. It will get harder to blame an increasingly distant president. Fortunately, I think a lot of attitudes will come to head around the time of the mid-term elections a year from now.
