Confidence in Obama Remains High After Cabinet Troubles
PRINCETON, NJ -- President Barack Obama had to face tough questioning from the media this week over his process for choosing his top advisers after Tom Daschle and Nancy Killefer withdrew their nominations for failing to pay back taxes. But Americans' support for Obama is hardly shaken, with fewer than one in five saying they are less confident now in Obama's ethical standards and his ability to manage the government than they were before he took office. A majority say they are "more confident" in both regards.

2. I, and many others, sent him and MSNBC in general these very charts along with
the one showing the approval of his TRANSITION which was 83%. They are still repeating the false numbers.

8. Did you hear Twitty on M Joe when he said the reason Repubs aren't voting was the condoms?
Don't they keep up on this stuff? The bill doesn't have that in it now - Obama agreed to take it out along with some other stuff. I read Tim Russert used to take all week to do his homework - Twitty and Joe seem to write there own "facts"!

Makes me ill!:grr:

10. Yup-he used the word "contraception" even though he himself called someone out for
saying that when it's already been taken out of the bill. He is an enigma wrapped in a riddle. :shrug:

3. I have said that nobody will give a crap about Daschle or what's her name, and I was right.
Most people don't blame Obama for someone else's misdeeds, especially when they step down from consideration--they are quickly forgotten. We've got ever so much bigger fish to fry.

7. No matter how many of us call and email to complain to them, they're STILL using the
false numbers. This has been going on for 4 days now.

14. My confidence level is much higher in Obama and has gone higher
MSM portrays the wrong perception of the real confidence level I see in Obama on C-SPAN.
