Was that Chuck Blow or Blow Chunks?

As we stand at the verge of the historic vote on the health care bill — a signature piece of President Obama’s agenda — it feels appropriate to take a look at how he has fared during the long slog that got us here. My quick assessment: remarkably well.
First, let’s take his job approval rating. Yes, it slid during the summer, but it stabilized around 50 percent in November and has hovered there ever since.
The empty-headed chattering class began another round of speculation and inane analysis this week when his approval rating dropped to 46 percent, its lowest yet. Silly pundits.
It was a minor tick and overplayed. If I were a Republican strategist (God forbid!), I would actually be very worried that the lower 50s/upper 40s could be Obama’s bottom. He has weathered some of the worst months of his young presidency recently, and his numbers have barely budged.
The second thing to remember is that job approval is only one measure of how well a president connects with the electorate.
At the conclusion of his Wednesday appearance on Fox News, insolent interviewer Bret Baier interrupted the president for the umpteenth time to ask him if he thought that the health care bill would pass. Obama responded with a familiar line: “I do. I’m confident it will pass. And the reason I’m confident that it’s going to pass is because it’s the right thing to do.”
This idea that he wants reform “because it’s the right thing to do” resonates with people. Whether they agree with him or not, they seem to genuinely believe that he has good intentions and that he is, at his base, a good man. This view of him has so penetrated the public that it often goes unspoken.

Where was the BARF ALERT?
Was that Chuck Blow or Blow Chunks?
According to my most recent issue of “Imprimis” that figure for government handouts is not 46% but about 60%.
Day late and a dollar short again!
He’s a street corner con man hand-picked because he was talented at parroting the right lines.
Hey, wait a minute. That’s the guy from the protest today that called me “Whitey”.
What a love fest. I will never like this obama man and my hatred for him is ever more in stone.
Has anyone hypothesized what will happen if it is passed short term as well as long term?
Oh, but Hussein will be different...NOT!
Mr. Blow, a delusional Obama zombie (redundant I know), is already chanting “who is like unto the beast, who can make war with him?”
Somebody pencil this writer in for a suicide watch around election time.
You beat me to it.
How do I know he didn’t plagiarize this article?
and the Wannsee Conference.
Yeah. He inspires me to work against him.
Sheesh!
While this Charles Blow definitely needs to put down the crack pipe, I do think he's not too far off here. I don't imagine that Obama will ever dip much below 40%.
PBS could show videotape of Barry molesting goats in the oval office, and to many on the left, it would only endear him more. Plus, the blacks are never going to abandon him. That's just the political reality. And, I don't think the Hispanics are much more apt to leave him.
Combined, that makes up about 20% of the entire electorate, or slightly more. Add that to the 20% hard-core leftist, commie-pinko, Chavez-Castro lovers, and you get 40%.
Look out below...!
Don't think so...
The most shocking thing about the article is the comments made by the empty headed liberals that follow it.
