Popularity plus…

The media has been telling us for 2 weeks now that Obama is THE MOST POPULAR PRESIDENT EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE!!

Well, actually his popularity during his first 100 days is right in the middle of the scores other new presidents received from the public over the past 60 years.

Of  more interest is the Rasmussen  Daily Tracking poll,  which shows that only 1%  more strongly approve of Obama’s job performance than disapprove.   The strongly disapprove number has remained fairly stable for 2 months,  while the strongly approve numbers have been on a slow downward drift.

A net 1% approval is NOT  what His Oneness wants,  regardless of media’s helpfulness in spinning the numbers.     It’s a bit hard to continue claiming that your election = a mandate   = everybody agrees with your policies and plans when the numbers show that about half the country thinks you’re headed the wrong way.

And as His Oneness and the Congressional Democrats institute more and more socialism,  and in a few cases,  outright fascism,  it becomes increasingly more difficult to lie about what you’re doing.     Notice that on the left,  which includes a large chuck of MSM,  they have switched the response from  “this isn’t  socialism”  to  “government assistance is necessary to save the economy.”

Notice that it is government  “assistance”,  not  “intervention,”  just as Obama always substitutes   “investment”  for   “spending.”
