These are so insightful that i thought deserves its own thread. :)

Obama's approval rating sliding quickly: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123690358175013837.html

Note the source of the article AND the authors.

"Polling data show that Mr. Obama's approval rating is dropping and is below where George W. Bush was in an analogous period in 2001. Rasmussen Reports data shows that Mr. Obama's net presidential approval rating -- which is calculated by subtracting the number who strongly disapprove from the number who strongly approve -- is just six, his lowest rating to date.

M.E. CohenOverall, Rasmussen Reports shows a 56%-43% approval, with a third strongly disapproving of the president's performance. This is a substantial degree of polarization so early in the administration. Mr. Obama has lost virtually all of his Republican support and a good part of his Independent support, and the trend is decidedly negative.

A detailed examination of presidential popularity after 50 days on the job similarly demonstrates a substantial drop in presidential approval relative to other elected presidents in the 20th and 21st centuries."

Again, note the source. Funny that both Greenspan and Clinton came on the list. Greenspan has admitted his fault, but Clinton was so pissed off that he was included on this list that he came on CNN blasting Time. HAHAHAHAHA!

Note that the Congressional Budget Office is predicting that we will have another crash in 2019, when all these stimulus packages come due at that time (10-year loan at about 4% APR). The CBO was saying that in 2019, we might have negative GDP, which will cause another crash. But why would Obama care about that? He'll no longer be President by then....

The world was a different place in 2001. Hardly worth comparing.

But Obama popularity and savior image were indeed historic when he took office...and he is still in his honeymoon period....
