All the number going our way. A new movement debuts with around 500K people showing up and no identifiable leader for them to piss on! Wait till Sarah starts poring gas on the fire.

It is so nice to see Liberals crapping in their PJ’s.

Well done all. Long way to go yet, but this was only the FIRST ONE!

I guess they thought that once Obama took office we'd all fall in love with his Oneness? Were they not listening when people said I"ll give Obama the same respect the Left gave Pres Bush? They've even sort of backed away from the You're racist explanation and moved on to You're just too stupid to understand

It is going to be hilarious as Obama gets his Jimmy Carter on in 2010. Imagine the reporting on stagflation during Obama’s presidency? I think it was Ace that said the media that was able to report that a good Bussh economy was bad will have a hard time getting people to beleive that a bad Obama economy is good. What will Andrea Mitchell report? I almost can’t wait.

As an Alinsky trained community organizer, polarization is SOP for gaining and holding power.

Obama has started governing? When was that? Did I miss something?

Sorry, “governing”

It’s not necessarily where the rating is at that’s important – it’s how it’s changed since Obama actually started governing.

Whatever you do, don’t look at the drop in support and the quickly rising level of disapproval for Obama among Independents as a bad trend.

And really, really, don’t look at how that’s playing out down the ticket.

Several polls show Republicans gaining against Democrats on the generic Congressional ballot.

And when you consider that these polls are often weighted with more Democrats than repubs or independents, it would appear that the mid term elections are not going to be pretty for the Democrats.

are you aware that you just cited obama’s 55%+ approval rate among independents as a sign that he’s polarizing? a 28% disapproval is polarizing to you?

Great post Karl.

I think that liberals are so surprised that Obama isn’t the post-partisan healer he claimed to be is because the media trotted out all sorts of ‘Republicans/conservatives’ who were absolutely enamoured with Obama before the election and were going to vote for him.

In a similar vein I find it humorous that various liberal pundits have declared the GOP dead and conservatism as well. Reality has a way of kicking your teeth in when you live the insular life of a liberal.

you frothing in the mouth about “whitewashing” doesn’t change the fact that you’re wrong.

Their common argument is that the number of self-identifying Republicans has shrunk, so that Independents should be the true measure of how polarizing Obama is. The problem with this argument is that Obama’s support among Independents dropped 10% last month, while their disapproval doubled, from 14% to 28%.

Alot of this crap used to go unchecked, they are probably sh*tting their pants that the tables are being turned on them, that the TRUTH is out there in cyberland.. Of course that won’t deter them from lying about things.

Unreal.
