"His boy?" I think you mean *our* President. You can live in
denial, but I'll point out Obama's main legislative agenda, health
care reform, looks to be on track for passage. The recession is
over and jobs *will* rebound. Not at all bad for his *first* year
in office. I'm thinking Obama is becoming unstoppable.
You'd better start working harder to get the word out. Your opinion
is now in the overwhelming minority.
LOL, more denial from the right.
LOL yourself...
"Overall, 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the
President's performance. The President’s overall approval has stayed
between 44% and 46% every day for thirteen days. Prior to that, it had
stayed between 46% and 50% every day for more than two months. Fifty-
six percent (56%) now disapprove of the President’s performance."
That bears repeating... "Fifty-six percent (56%) now disapprove of the
President’s performance."
A 45% approval rating is not an "overwhelming minority." Republican
approval ratings are approaching an overwhelming minority.

But then, who cares about poll numbers. At about this time in his
Presidency, Reagan's approval ratings were less than 50%. He served two
full terms, and many consider him to be one of the great presidents.

And Obama has fallen in the polls farther and faster than any other
president in recent memory, including Carter. But to define
"overwhelming", I'm just using the liberal's definition. After all,
you guys called a 2 - 3 % victory for Obama in the popular vote
overwhelming. You're not allowed to change the definition now just
because your boy looks bad. Too bad.

After this recession falters along, then the tax hikes start kicking
in for *all* Americans, and the stagflation is the top story, it won't
matter how loudly you guys shout that it's Bush's fault. The public
has a short memory, and it's your boy in charge. Obama will be Carter
redux... another Dem one-hit-wonder. It's already in the cards.
Enjoy it while you can.

I don't think obama can hold off on the tax hikes for two more years.
I'm betting they will begin shortly after the 2010 election. By then his
popularity will be in the 10% approval range.
