What a start for Obama
| By Ralph R. Reiland Monday, February 9, 2009
"Well, That Certainly Didn't Take Long" was the headline on Maureen Dowd's column in The New York Times last Wednesday. Dowd, unswervingly a Bush-basher and pro-Obama over the past two years, was referring to Obama's success in knocking himself off his elevated pedestal within two weeks of his inauguration. Obama and his "arrogant attitude" went "SPLAT" (caps in Dowd's original) after a "cascade of appointments who 'forgot' to pay taxes" and the development of a "helter-skelter stimulus package." |
Rasmussen Reports survey on Feb. 2 found that only 37 percent of Americans favor the administration-endorsed stimulus package. In a Gallup survey completed on Feb. 1, Obama's approval rating is 64 percent, down 19 points since his inauguration. Six more weeks of the same and he'll be at zero.

To be fair, RINOs have no problem with the Marxist Usurper. And there are some more conservative Republicans who wanted to give Him a chance. They were hoping he would grow into the job. So I think it’s possible for the two weeks post inauguration survey to be higher than, say, 60%. But there is no doubt in my mind that th 80% number was manufactured—along with most everything else about this presidential zero.
98.9346721% of statistics are made up on the spot.
He tried to walk thru a window and hit his head today on AF 1. The Barkulus is a klutz
Laugh of the day.
Thank you.
I once worked with a statistician. The guy could make any set of statistical data “prove” whatever outcome he desired.
Can anyone really tell me how The Marxist Onada has determined there are 11 million children without health care—without including illegals?
NO WE CAN'T !
