2. Actually, I think you'll find...

...that, since 1/2009, Democratic standing in the polls has been directly linked to Obama's visibility. When he's off on vacation or not being on the news taking action, the right-wing gets to define the debate (thank you, Faux Noise) and our standings plummet. When he's in the swing of things, and seen by the public as working hard to accomplish his goals, they rebound.

3. Yeah, unlike that idiot in chief GWB, whose poll numbers went up

when nobody could see how stupid and embarrassing he was.

President Obama can inspire a crowd like no one else - not stupid Palin, not ignorant Bushes, not evil Cheney. You can't dislike President Obama when you hear him speak with force and conviction. His power with crowds is amazing. I hope he continues to use it for good and not evil.
