"I Am Amazed Obama is Doing So Well In The Polls"
-8:30am EST Mika Brzezinski, co-host of MSNBC's “Morning Joe”, after seeing Mr. Obama's Latest Gallup approval ratings.

Doing so well? Comparing Obama and Bush approval/disapproval Gallup numbers from same time in first term:

Obama 51 approve-41 disapprove
Bush 51 approve-38 disapprove (last poll before 9-11-01)
(Note-After 9-11, Bush soared to 86% approval and remained above 51% approval in Gallup until 2004)

Well, I keep hoping that the tide will eventually start to change. For now, Americans are content to blame Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer for bad decisions, but at a certain point, Obama will need to be held accountable. It’s funny how so much of the crap that goes on in Congress is actually his idea or being pushed by him, but he still manages to distance himself and evade accountability. He’s a big fan of making decisions without the concept of accountability - look at all the czars he’s propping up.

Mikas Dad said today that if Israel tried to take out Iran’s bombing that we, the US, should shoot down Israeli planes.

My guess is Mika feels just fine along with her Daddy.

But what he is losing is the center that went his way in the last election. You also have to consider the “motivation factor.” This is beginning to look a lot like the Jimmy Carter presidency, when the right and the center couldn’t wait to throw him out.
