WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama enjoys widespread backing from a frightened American public for his ambitious, front-loaded agenda, a new poll indicates.

He is more popular than ever, Americans are hopeful about his leadership, and opposition Republicans are getting drubbed in public opinion, the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll suggests.

Anything with NBC News backing it is something not to be trusted.

Mission accomplished. That was the whole purpose of generating panic, wasn't it?

Americans are so stupid, I can’t believe this. What have we become? A nation of give me give me give me’s. This whole mess really started with the democrats and our republic will end because of the democrats. Vietnam war (which was started by the democrats) is what brought about this load of socialistic communist BS onto our nation and led to the collapse of our moral standing as a nation. It has only gotten worse since the 1960’s. Each decade our kids get worse and worse, and our politicians become more and more entrenched in corruption and political elitism.

Right. Frightened public. A bunch of people thinking this Chicago street gangster thug can FIX the problem. The asshole cannot even add and subtract or talk with his TelePrompter without falling over his mouth. Right, I am putting my faith in this ground level slimy slug.

If this is actually true and really representative of the majority of folks in this country, we’ve had it.

No doubt the majority who, under O's policies, are net “Takers”. Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to Majority Tyranny. Many Smokers are well acquainted with this concept and many Gun Owners soon will be. Taxpayers already know him well.

If these people end up eating straw and burning their worthless paper currency for warmth, will they still worship him? The way things are going, it seems likely.

The new Weekly Standard cover says it all - a bunch of sheep under the headline “Obama’s America”.

Each of the polls is a loaded question in and of itself. None of them provided the answer I would choose.

It’s NBC after all. Mustn’t let the people express themselves. Obama is smarter. (BARF)

As long as Barack continues to propose (or worse, implement) brain-dead policies, the situtation will continue to worsen. It can’t do anything else.

“The horrid policy proposals will continue until morale improves!”

First of all, I don’t believe it - while polls from the professional polling houses were accurate last year, polls from MSM outlets, even the WSJ, were notoriously cooked and leaned way left.

Second of all, give it two years. When Obama’s “stimulus” has done diddly, and unemployment is in double digits and people start to see that spending umpteen trillion dollars we didn’t have has done nothing to help, we’ll see where his popularity is at. Give it time, folks.

Mr. Obama's approval rating, at 60%, is sustainable and high enough to allow for major victories.

What have they been Smoking, and with Whom?

If he has 60% approval rating, how do you explain the record gun sales?
