No, my actual sources then to be:
Morning Joe
Projo
NY Times online
WSJ Online

but the daily show had a funny bit that I recalled easier than a specific article. but then again, I'm not S-B's most proficient cut and paster.

I like to provide some evidence for my assertions, you'd think a scientist would appreciate something like that rather than vague.."And as a scientist, Jindal's handling of aspects of the BP spill were questionable"....and the ever present "most experts/everyone... agree(s)" from your buddy

hope you caught this in the ProJo the other day

Here's an article that pretty much sums things up for the GOP.

Even Newt Gingrich A Little Depressed By Prospect Of Him Running For President | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Funny, I just saw both Tom Brokaw and Pat Buchanan remark the other day that they couldn't remember a US president in their lifetimes that has had to deal with so many challenges as BO early in their presidency.

Freaking lightweights...

Not sure anyone is going to think about Abraham Lincoln or JFK in the voting booth.

They will think about what Obama inherited coming in, notably two wars and a massive recession. As I said, if the trend is up independent voters will take this into account. Hell, even Bush got sympathy in 2004...and if the trend it down he won't get the same.

Please explain why you think this isn't a well reasoned assertion.

maybe brokaw forgot about this?

Bush was president for 9 months. Is that considered "early in his presidency"?

Johnsons first term

- over 60,000 americans died in a brutal war
- divided nation, massive riots
- ohio state, students shot


and ps.....did you know Johnson's boss was killed in office and he had to take on the job? Maybe brokaw forgot?
