All Presidents- even clinton- have an enormous resevoir of good will from the American people. He- whoever he is- is "their guy in Washington," and the public wants and needs for him to do well, and be well thought of.
They do not like all this nattering and carping and harrassing. Not a bit! I really think it's going to backfire- just like it did with even a slug like clinton...
That said, the Republicans are not being aggressive enough in refuting this junk, the President needs to get on TV more explaining things, and we desperately need to eliminate capital gains & estate taxes, slash taxes & regulations across the board, and empower businesses to make more new jobs, and let families keep more of their own dam' money!
