What kind of bump do you think the Manchurian Candidate is going to get from this totally unjustified joint-session of Congress and free television time? My guess is 4-8 points improvement in approval for maybe a week.
Obama has mastered the art of the one hour bump. His handlers fly him from the golf course to the messaging area or the crisis area once the crisis is over. He proceeds to take credit for the sun coming out. Receives applause and a poll bump. Next day the reality that of this miserable economy he created rains on his parade again.
