When George Bush left office he was deeply unpopular: in Bush’s last month, according to Rasmussen 43% strongly disapproved of the job Bush was doing, while only 13% strongly approved, for a staggering negative rating of –30%. Rasmussen’s Thursday release shows that after 14 months in office President Barack Obama has achieved Bush’s 43% of the people strongly disapproving of his performance, but Obama is still 10% ahead of Bush in those who strongly approve (23% v. 13% for Bush).
I suspect that the main difference in their overall approval ratings is among African-Americans, not whites.
Imagine how unpopular Obama would be if the press and the late night comedians (who are at least as important as the press) treated Obama as they treated Bush.
In 2010 we have had 1 closing and for the first time every we have no pending (that are going to close). We used have over 120 closing a year.
People, we have not seen the worst by any means, and if Obamacare passes, things are going to get a lot worse.
More jobs lost and more dis pare.
We will win big in 2010 and 2012.
The anti Palin people now will be knocking on door for her in 2012. She will win big!!!
I think I will throw up this morning.... Rasmussen has him at -12!!!!!
What on earth???? Has America gone MAD???
The Republicans will never win if they don’t start educating their ‘spokespeople’ on TV. The Democrats have talking points - most of them lies - the uneducated Republican just sits there. They should be able to strike back with the truth.
Example: the Democrats say ObamaCare strengthens Medicare. The truth is, this is a big LIE. The CBO says that would be double-counting:
“To describe the full amount of HI trust fund savings as both improving the government’s ability to pay future Medicare benefits and financing new spending outside of Medicare would essentially double-count a large share of those savings and thus overstate the improvement in the government’s fiscal position.”

Sorry, repeating this in the hope some GOP leader will see it!
I agree! It’s time to be BOLD!
Actually, the National GOP sucks.
The National Senate Committee does not even list Marco Rubio in Florida and he’s ahead by 20+ points. They endorsed Crist - a RINO of the first order.
When a party endorses someone in the primaries, it would not be wise to donate to the party at any level. Marco gets my money!
Is Crist gay? Just wondering...
