Where did all the pizazz goooooooooooo
Undeniably the worse state of the union address ever, spoken by a man who isn't exactly toast yet, but he certainly is talking like he isn't going to see a second term.
 Do you miss me yet, say W. |

Bush had around a 30% approval rating when he left office. While at the moment Obama is on track to match that, I doubt very many miss Bush. |

Public Policy Polling:
Perhaps the greatest measure of Obama's declining support is that just 50% of voters now say they prefer having him as President to George W. Bush, with 44% saying they'd rather have his predecessor. Given the horrendous approval ratings Bush showed during his final term that's somewhat of a surprise and an indication that voters are increasingly placing the blame on Obama for the country's difficulties instead of giving him space because of the tough situation he inherited. The closeness in the Obama/Bush numbers also has implications for the 2010 elections. Using the Bush card may not be particularly effective for Democrats anymore, which is good news generally for Republicans and especially ones like Rob Portman who are running for office and have close ties to the former President.
I'd consider half ...."very many" |

I'd rather have surgery on my foot again than have abdominal surgery. That doesn't mean I miss having foot surgery. |

The nice thing for you about never making any sense, is that in your mind, you can never be wrong. You do a good job framing up nonsense and then trying to use that nonsense to support your position. |
