90% support from who?

I doubt he has that much support from his immediate family and staff.

On the other hand, he crammed health care into law despite 80% AGAINST, so what’s that mean?

The 90% figure was always fluff and push polls. Of the people who have any substantive knowledge of the issues (about 25% of the population) they were opposed to this legislation five to one. President Obama and the Democrats could easily have had universal background checks if they were willing to forego a path to universal registration and slow confiscation, such as has happened in the UK over the last hundred years.

They insisted on the proto-registration route and were defeated.

Everyone told President Obama that if he wanted this done, he would have to do it quickly, before emotions cooled and people had time to think about the issues. Once rationality started to return, the initiative to weaken the Second Amendment was lost.

President Obama has only himself to blame. If he had given up a few rounds of golf and a vacation or two, he might have pulled off another anti-constitutional coup.

Fortunately, President Obama does not have the will and work ethic of a Lenin, Mao, or Hitler.

Exactly!!!

Where I live, the support is more like 5%, with 95% AGAINST Obama.

90% isn’t what it used to be. Must be the sequester.
