He’s fallen below this important benchmark of 50% approval. If he’s smart, he’ll take a step back on the radical agenda. Up until now, he was made of teflon. But I think NYer’s are not too happy with the trial thing.
He thinks he’s safe with his NY liberal intelligentsia. There are Democrats there that thinks Republicans are rednecks, and would never lower their elitist standard. But 9/11 was a game changer. NYer’s haven’t forgotten it.
“He’s fallen below this important benchmark of 50% approval. If he’s smart, he’ll take a step back on the radical agenda.”
He won’t because he is who he is. He’s the most liberal, most radical Dem we’ve ever had. After Bill Clinton lost the House in 1994 even he was smart enough to moderate on some positions, tone down some of the rhetorical talk and compromise a bit to save his presidency. I just don’t think BO is going to go this route. That’s OK. He can go down in flames then in 2012 he’ll be history.
