bad news for Big O

[spence]

How could 48% say he's failed while he has a 51% approval?

I've got to say, my math ain't that great, but I might want to see how the questions were phrased.

And 51% approval for a President who inherited a terrible economy and two go nowhere wars ain't that bad...even considering!

Inheritance is hard to use now being he manned up and said "the buck stops here"
when it came to the war on terror.
I give him credit for that.

I would argue that the circumstances he inherited would only bolster his approval. The campaign was based on "Im not Bush" and Change! if everything sucks, do a few good things and you're a hero.He has failed in even doing a few good things. His team has been bungling messages, ex. Napolitano - "everything worked", incosnsitent message on healthcare, lack of innovation, etc.
The fact is, in the darkest of times, even a candle shows a big light, but the country is seeing nothing from Obama.

I can't decide whether it would be more productive to have congress flip in the mid-terms of if we ought continue down this road a little bit more...the stimulus has done little more than prop up the massive wasteful governement bureaucracies, particluarly in the bluest states which have been tinkering in socialism for many years, there will be no lesson learned, they will be supported through these bad times at great cost to surrounding more responsible states and will continue on their free spending ways as soon as some normalcy returns....maybe what is needed for those that have been sipping socialism is to get a big mouthful of socialism, like waterboarding, and really experience some of that "sacrafice" that Obama is always talking about but clearly never intends to participate in as he travels, eats, spends to his heats content.....
