RE :”One thing the polling data have confirmed over the last two years is this: President Obama is more popular than his policies. Going back to the earliest days of his presidency, Obama’s overall job approval rating has typically been higher than the ratings he's received from voters on most individual issues - particularly on top domestic concerns like the economy, spending, the deficit and health care. Because the president generates so much personal goodwill, then, it isn't clear that his approval rating has the same political effects that other presidents’ approval ratings do.”

Friends, I tried to warn you last year, get Pelosi out of the way and Obama loses his political anchor dragging him down. It is still early but so far I don't see the new Republican congress effectively fighting Obama.

Not only did Obama lose Pelosi as a drag on him, but now he has little or no responsibility to get things passed making it even easier for him. He will call for new ‘critical investments’ at the SOTU address, then ask the Chamber of Commerce to support them getting passed, then go on the FNC BoR show and look ‘reasonable’ (thanks to worthless Bill), and just sit back and tell Republicans to deliver.

By about August it will be obvious who has the upper hand.

If Pelosi were still in charge, perhaps we would stand a better chance of beating Obama in 2012. However, look how much more damage these clowns could do to our country over the next two years. More debt, more cementing of the Obamacare.

At least now, we have a chance at some sane fiscal budgets, some tearing apart of Obamacare, etc. With the added bonus that Pelosi is still in a leadership position. She can still be on those TV adds. Remember, those Dems re-elected her and Harry Reid is still there to be plastered on campaign commercials.
