He claimed Obama fell 19 points in his approval rating, comparing apples and oranges. He said Obama started out with an 82% approval rating and now has a 63% approval rating. The problem with that, of course, is Obama's 82% approval was for his TRANSITION while 63% was the lowest rating of Gallup's approval rating. (He started with a 68% approval rating according to Gallup-not 82%, and today Obama's approval rating is 66%, making the "Big Number" a whopping 2, not 19.)

4. I'm surpised HE did this. He's usually big on facts, but it seems like
he got this "statistic" from a RW blog somewhere.

Thanks! :hi:

6. I found it ironic
that he kept saying Obama was not communicating the stimulus package well, but Chris couldn't even say "stimulus" without effing it up. He called it a "bailout" to Crist and then later was stammering "this budget...er...budget...they call it a stimulus.."
