So here are some poll numbers that should scare the low-waisted chaps off Democrats. By a 50-42 margin, Ohio voters say they’d rather have George W. Bush as President right now than Barack Obama. Also, among voters in Gallup weekly tracking of 2010 congressional preferences, Republicans lead by 51% to 41%. That lead is the largest since Gallup started tracking the stuff in the early 1500’s!
Now, there’s a reason Bush looks good, but it has less to do with the man, than the media. Think about it: “back then,” you didn’t have reporters calling you a dumb racist every time you ragged on the President! What makes Obama unpopular? For one: you can’t disagree with him, without being called something bad.
Check out Chris Matthews, the tingling mess who cannot fathom why no one is happy with Mr. Wonderful.
Okay..where to start…
First, people can admire Obama and still disagree with his policies. I think he’s a decent guy, and the best liberal president I’ve seen. But I also can’t stand him because he is the best liberal president I’ve seen. Matthews can’t see that it’s about ideology, not race. Maybe he’s the bigot!
Look, concerning his unpopularity, Obama is the least surprised of all. He planned to lose friends from the start. What makes him smarter than Matthews: he knew America would hate his agenda.
But the biggest fallacy in Chris’s whine: that it’s worse to make money than to community organize. How fun is it that while Matthews denigrates capitalists – he makes wads of cash denigrating capitalists!
Fact is, financial motives help way more people than community work – which is often just political resume building anyway. Bill Gates has done way more for the poor than Obama will ever do – and he did it by pursuing his interests, not theirs.
And if you disagree with me, you’re a racist homophobe who should give me a back rub, but won’t.
