re: Bill Clinton's approval rating January 1994, 55%. Barack Obama's approval rating January 2010, 48%.)))

Bill Clinton won by a plurality, something like 48%. Obama won by 53%. Even with HCR, Bill improved. So add another three or four points to the difference between them.

Obama makes me appreciate Clinton's better features. Clinton was a swindler, but he didn't seem to have the active disdain for America that O does.

Oh, they can’t sit on their hands. Better to give a tepid, bored little patter. More insult, there.

Biden instead cited an all-consuming prosecution his office is faced with, involving a pediatrician accused of molesting children who were his patients. He said later that he hadn’t even factored Coakley’s loss into his decisionmaking process.

He sounds just as mindless as his father. Sad.

Castle is probably the best we can hope from Del.

We are least regaining some strength in the Northeast.

That might need some kind of rehearsal and/or coordination; I would try a simpler way first, see the reaction of TOTUS to the “sound gap”.

But then, whatever works.

Kerry, Frank, Durbin, Boxer, the list is endless.

McCain, Graham, Snow, the list is indeed endless.
