Obama Draws 26,000 For Madison Rally (VIDEO)
Wednesday, September 29, 2010
As long as Obama's personal approval ratings remain high (and they are remaining high, thanks to Obama's 'most ardent supporters' who defend everything he does and respond to facts critical of him & the DLC-controlled Democrats in Congress with, "But Republicans/Teabaggers are worse"), Obama & Democrats are not going to do anything differently.
Those polled may not like what he or Democrats are doing, but like him personally. His total job approval on Rasmussen, for example, is 46 percent -http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_admi nistration/daily_pres idential_t racking_po ll .
The numbers state-by-state swing more broadly, with that number going up to 58 percent in NY, for example -http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/09/25/latest-round-up-of-obama-poll-numbers-by-state/ ).
That's still high, or high enough that the White House thinks their problem is just one of selling its policies. So the White House "stays the course" and sends Obama out to stump, to make speeches. If Obama's personal numbers weren't good, he wouldn't be out stumping; that's another indication of his high personal numbers.
The White House has gone to great lengths to distance Obama from his and Democrats' actions, as do all White House administrations (try to keep presidents removed from any negative consequences of presidential decisions).
It's always others in his administration who are responsible when something goes south or wrong, in which case it's that person who "leaves the administration" (fired, asked to resign). The president is always the "last man standing"; everyone else falls on their sword for the king.
Presidents do that, implement unpopular policies, for as long as they can get away with it, i.e., the president is not associated with the policies (which is what the high personal polling numbers mean).
