Look for this panic-stricken administration to resemble some warped populist game show between now and the election. Forgive mortgage principal, slash your credit card interest, forgive your student loan, etc. etc. etc. Like Pete Stark said, the Gubbermint can do absolutely ANYTHING it wants to.
It will take a massive economic rebound between now and 2012 for Obama to survive....or a lackluster GOP opponent. Unfortunately for all, the later option is actually a much larger possibility.

AHHHG!
My eyes, my eyes!
One more time: He...doesn’t...care...
I despised Obama before it became fashionable.
The downside to everyone else catching up is that one can’t anymore feel superior and smarter then the masses.
The upside is if the masses turn smart enough to make Obama impotent in 2010 and drive him out of town in 2012.
This is my concern as well. The significant sign, IMO, is that now elected Democrats as well as their campaign wonks are starting to make open critical remarks and analysis of the Obama administration.
This should go up once he pays off mortgages and starts a war with Iran.
50% seems pretty f’ing good—all things considered—it sounds like saying satan itself is ok because only 50% suspect something may be amiss here..........wtd!!!!!!!!!!
POTUS Obama is passe’, done, finished, over with, fried, toast, useless, incompetent, incapable, total failure, hates America, Black racist to his core, protege of the number one Black racist and America hater, Reverend Jeremiah Wright whom he adores,etc., etc.!!! But, Americans, he is not the problem, only part of it. The real problem in America is the Democrat Party. And....if you have brains and common sense, you will all, and I mean all Americans will turn out on November 2, 2010, vote and totally destroy the entire Democrat Party. Not one of them cares about America, you, your children, your grandchildren and your children and grandchildren yet to come!!! The time for action using the ballot has come!!! Get to it!!! And....rid America of this low life riff raff known as the Democrat Party!!!
DEMOCRAT SLIPS IN THE POLLS: State Run Media says “Americans are having a tantrum.”
REPUBLICAN SLIPS IN THE POLLS: State Run Media says “The people have spoken!”
BINGO!
I actually think that at this point they don't mind the idea of losing control of Congress - they desperately need a boogey-man to go negative on (that is all they know how to do, demonize the opposition, because they have no actual ability to function in any way other than in the manner of a corrupt African or Central American junta).
They (the Democrats) need someone they can demonize and blame, otherwise all the attention will be on their own incompetence and corruption. Going negative, demonization, is their only game and they can't use it if they have complete control like they do now.
Rasmussen Reports 8/1 - 8/3 1500 LV 46 53 -7
LV= Likely Voters.........this is significant..............
My question is how much of a bounce does he get for bombing Iran? I’m thinking late September might be the time.
LLS
I am afraid you are right. They have populist options and they will use them. We have to focus on the umemplyment rate and the debt. They can run from these numbers, but they cannot hide.
“My question is how much of a bounce does he get for bombing Iran?”
If any bounce at all it will be a dead-cat bounce.
