Hurray!! Another conservative chat board hack. As of today, 51% of the American public approves of Obama. The reason his poll numbers have weakened from last year is because the 40% of people who are not hard core liberal or conservative and dont pay much attention to anything other than Amurican Idol and the latest gadget from Spacely Sprockets thought Obama could snap his fingers and the economy would be all better. Intelligent people on both sides of the political spectrum knew better. But the conservatives are using peoples disaffection with the economy to score political points. It's smart politics but doesn't really relate to heath care, bank regulation and other proposals. If the economy was appreciably better, Brown would not have been elected. ........To quote a great philanderer, "It's the Economy Stupid"
