Here is the question I must ask all FReepers - How does going to war with Iran benefit Obama? How does a DJ collapse benefit Obama? How does general collapse in Europe benefit Obama? An NK missile hit in Los Angeles? Terror attack in Washington or NY?
Look, there is no catastrophe imaginable that can befall the American voter that would possibly benefit Obama. At this point in his failed presidency, anything disastrous would be laid at his feet and his alone - that’s how unpopular he is.
This isn’t Poppy Bush where a Gulf War is initiated and even a democrat feels obligated to rally round the Chief.
Obama is despised and there is a big difference between being unpopular and being hated.
I’m not saying any of those items will benefit Obama, specifically.
What I am saying is that a zillion things - some big, some small - could change in the next six months that could alter any number of votes.
Polling is a snapshot of how people feel at the moment the question is asked. It has very little bearing on how they will feel in six weeks and much less bearing on how they will feel in six months.
Things change. Opinions change.
“.....Obama is despised”....???
Why are all the polls still telling us how much no one likes GWBush, yet Obama is still liked?
My theory is that the stupid MSM has used the race card so often whenever anyone says they are not for Obama - that any poll on the subject of Obama’s favorability is hopelessly skewed by about 15-20 points. Regarding GWB, the constant pounding from the MSM against his reputation can account for about 10 points in the negative column.
Last week’s White House photos of the unveiling of the portraits of George and Laura Bush demonstrated how much superior GWB’s personality is than that of the current occupant of the WH.
