President Obama Remains Popular;
Women, Minorities Hardest Hit

Over at The American Spectator blog, I noted that elite journalists now view everything through an Obama prism:

The Jobless Rate, Slow to Improve, Tests Obama
On the economy, President Obama has a timing problem. Congressional Democrats may have a bigger one.
Nearly four months into his presidency, Mr. Obama has begun to describe a pivot from economic crisis to economic recovery. From stabilized consumer spending to higher construction spending, he said last week, “the gears of our economic engine” are “slowly turning once again.”
The problem is that those gears are unlikely to churn out many new jobs anytime soon. . . .

“The problem,” as the New York Times sees it, is purely about politics, and politics is now about a single person. Never mind the nearly 2 million Americans who’ve lost their jobs since Jan. 20. There is only one person in the world who really matters, and his name is Obama.

some of these newly unemployed may not be able to make it on mere unemployment insurance alone, so will they remain loyal to the Won?

however, i do know alot of newly unemployed that are perfectly content to accept the money & do nothing. but, these are not the same people who are putting children thru college, participating heavily in charitable organizations, paying real estate taxes, etc.

kelley,

as long as the focus remains on obama, his entire administration is available to be stuffed under the bus as things continue to get worse….

It sounds like the other McCain is not in love yet with the one dear leader. Soon you and all of the other evil dissenters will be reeducated.

You could avoid the reeducation if you start now. Say it with me, “I love the one dear leader.”
