Obama's Rolling Stone Interview: President Calls Out 'Irresponsible' Apathetic Dem Voters

Wednesday, September 29, 2010


Any pollster will confirm that the President numbers are very low.
====================================

Then you shouldn't have any problem producing them.

Obama's personal polling numbers remain high.  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_admi­nistration/daily_pres­idential_t­racking_po­ll  (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 him out to stump, 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 shield Obama from his and Democrats' actions, as do all White House administrations (try to keep presidents removed from any negative repercussions 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".   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).

If you can't offer citations to back up your claims, then pray tell us how you come by your opinions.  Do you have any special training in politics, or experience working in government or on campaigns?
