Great pic. You are very talented.

If you look at the pic from an architecture standpoint, it reminds me of NYC during 9-11.

Thanks.

Obama can't and won't find a magic fix here. His best attempts at driving up the approval ratings last for a day at most, but he's out of gas. He's in glide mode right now. He can pull back on the controls and point the nose upwards for a brief moment, but the plane is falling to Earth.

Great analogy.

He's definitely out of motive, propulsive force, so there's no more lift to his wings. Like you said, it's all a matter of gravity, from here on out.

Just 29% now say the U.S. is generally heading in the right direction

That would be most of the RATs....BUT NOT ALL OF THEM!

I didn’t make it...I found and (ahem) borrowed it.

I went back and looked at it in light of your 9-11 comment...I can see what you mean! Very eerie.

If her other children are smart and lead smart, successful lives (such as Sarah has led), will you say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree?

Your bias is showing.

“Sure, with MOE of 3%, if you take enough polls, you’re bound to see a couple outlier days, but this up and down up and down up and down up and down has been happening for months...”

You know, I always think it’s a TOUGH job to accurately reflect 130M likely voters - out of 312 million Americans. Your example given of 48 and 42, has a mean of 45 - putting both the high and the low within the MOE.

How is that so bizarre?

“Bristol really isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer.”

And apples don’t fall far from the tree either.

How many of the children of great and historic Americans have ever measured up to the achievements of their famous parents?

Answer: very, very few.

Your metaphor falls short of observed reality, and does not apply to Sarah and Bristol Palin.

...he was doomed from day one and the only salvation is a war. He will find a war and will gain some approval and will not resign.

The American people will never go for that, my friend. There's only so far we can be pushed, and that is well over the line.

You want to spark a real revolution? That would do it.

The Democrat Party is headed to a major devastation at the ballot box taking place on Election Day, November 2, 2010!!! They can save themselves from oblivion and wipe-out with just a simple one or two steps. First force failed America Hating POTUS Barack Hussein Obama to resign effective immediately and...failing gaining his resignation willingly, impeach him right out of office before the November elections!!! One of those two actions are the only things that will save the Democrat Party. Now folks, these Democrats were warned time and time again, but they did not listen and whistled theri way through the graveyard!!! However, those Chickens are now coming home to roost!!! REMEMBER NOVEMBER and destroy the entire anti-American Democrat Party!!! There is no such animal as a good Democrat!!!

I say Obama resigns at -14 approval.

You'll get no argument from me.

Just remember this, even the Germans couldn't make communism work.

Dumb luck made that a fact.

A very nasty Russian winter.

And remember this too. 56 million people died as a result of WWII. 10M civilians in just Germany and Poland. More than 7.5M Russian civilians died. 10M Chinese.

I don't think even deposing their boy king can save them now. Too many Americans understand that he's only the most visible 'leader' of the left/progressive/Democrat ruling class, and that removing him still leaves the Medusa intact and dangerous to our continued survival.

The building Tea Party resistance movement sweeping the nation isn't about Obama. He's actually a minor target of what the new resistance movement is all about. No - the movement is a response to the Democrats' near-100 years of dismantling of our constitutional republic and our American traditions.

This thing isn't even going to pause for breath the day Obama leaves office. It's only just beginning.
