Asked how Iowans view President Barack Obama, Michael Gartner, the President of NBC News from 1988 to 1993, insisted on this weekend’s Bloomberg TV’s Political Capital: “I think people have a fondness for him and I don’t think people blame him for anything that’s wrong in this country,” except, that is, “the far-right of the Republican Party.”
For the Bloomberg TV show which first runs on Friday nights, Al Hunt interviewed Gartner, an Iowa native, at a game of the Iowa Cubs, the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs which Gartner co-owns.
From the end of the August 12 Bloomberg interview:
AL HUNT: What kind of shape is Barack Obama in for the 2012 campaign in Iowa?
MICHAEL GARTNER: I think he’s in pretty good shape. First of all, people out here have an attachment to him because he was out here. I think people have a fondness for him and I don’t think people blame him for anything that’s wrong in this country, unless – I think the far-right of the Republican Party does, but I don’t think the moderates do and certainly the Democrats don’t. He generally shows up quite well in Seltzer’s Iowa poll.
That’s the Des Moines Register’s “Iowa Poll” and in the latest one Obama ticked up to a 48 to 47 percent approval over disapproval, so unless Gartner thinks 47 percent of Iowans are part of the “far-right,” a lot more than just them blame Obama for something.

Michael “Incendiary Devices” Gartner ? You mean the fella that put the “bullshit” in news ?
To the dumbass who said this, I invite you to come to my workplace and ask the blacks, Hispanics and other Americans what they think of this jackwagon. Of course, it is a military installation, but they hate his guts.
That seems to read more accurately.
Hmm...then they haven't talked to me, my wife, my dad, my in-laws, my friends, my church, my in-law's church, NASA, and several MILLION others who DO blame him and want his nation-destroying, economy-busting, communist-and-muslim-loving backside OUT of office!
(And in regard to your tagline...I'm praying for the same thing. We may actually get a small shower this afternoon near the Cleveland/Conroe area.)
BOzo was a waste of four years letting crazy Stretch Pelosi pull his puppet strings.

Thanks. We need rain here badly. Our congregation has a running prayer weekly and on our email prayer list for rain.
Thanks for your service !
