Try as the media might to bring Obama down, asking how badly this attempted attack will hurt him...

[jenmito]

asking if his response was too slow, asking if he looks weak, he's up in today's Gallup daily tracking poll to 52% and his disapproval is down to 42%: http://www.gallup.com/Home.aspx

[Captain Hilts]

1. He responded perfectly. nt

[leftynyc]

2. Great news

I doubt we'll even see it on MSNBC...they're heavily into the narrative that his poll numbers are diving the dems are going to lose both houses in November.

[jenmito]

4. Yup...

MSNBC is STILL using their poll from 12/11 to talk about his "tanking" approval along with that of the Dems. in Congress, too. :eyes:

[leftynyc]

7. It's the reason

I only watch Rachel now. I get all my other news from the internet. She's the only honest and most intellectual one out there.

[jenmito]

11. I keep MSNBC on

pretty much all day since I'm home all day. But I can't stand to listen to Andrea Mitchell for one, so I watch something else.

[Clio the Leo]

13. Who is that droll woman they have on in the morning now?

I dont like her ..... and Alex Witt doesn't do much for me either. I change the channel when Dr. Nancy is on.

But I love love love David and Tamryn.

And what happened to Carlos?

[jenmito]

18. Monica Nevotney maybe? Chris Jansing?

You named others I don't like and I love David and Tamron, too! I don't know-I liked him. But I hate Dylan Ratigan. He is SO rude. Sadly, he's gonna have his own show starting Monday @ 4pm. Yuck.

[Clio the Leo]

21. I'd like Dylan if they'd not let him have so much Starbucks...

..... he jumped the shark with the Debbie Wasserman Shultz thing. (And since Debbie is, in Clio's Pretend World, one of Obama's Liberal Lady Bombshell Ninja Angels, that is a BIG no no.)

For those who have not seen it...

(he has since apologized)

[jenmito]

22. Yeah...

I saw that interview. That's the rudest he's ever been and I wrote to him and said so. I ALSO saw his apology but I doubt he'll change his style. It's like he can't help himself. Even that day, he kept saying he'd let her finish and then he'd interrupt her over and over again.

[HowHasItComeToThis]

24. OF COURSE MEAN ANDREA GREENSPAN

Mitchell was born in New York City, New York She married her second husband, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, in 1997.<8> Previously, she was married to Gil Jackson; that marriage ended in divorce in the mid-1970s.

CHECK OUT HER WIKI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Mitchell

[jenmito]

25. She freaks me out...

her face looks like a mask since it's full of botox. Thanks for the Wiki page, though. :hi:

[Clio the Leo]

12. By the time Rachel reaches the age Cronkite was....

..... she'll have become one of the most respected journalists of OUR time. (and by "our" I mean of the generation she and I are in.) While I dont always agree with her, she is the most professional one on the entire network.

[jenmito]

23. She will be on Letterman tonight. n/t

[Clio the Leo]

26. With her Buddy Holly's on no doubt!

[jenmito]

28. I've never seen her without them when she goes on another show.

I guess MSNBC makes her wear contacts...

[Jennicut]

3. Despite it all, he is hanging onto at least a 50% approval rating.

I doubt he falls below that and I think it will go up if the economy starts to improve this year, which I think it will.

[jenmito]

6. I agree...

the media is trying its darndest to bring him down, though, no matter WHAT the reality is. It's always a question formed negatively that the media talks about for hour upon hour.

[Clio the Leo]

8. Because he's .....

:)

[jenmito]

10. That billboard is so cool...

I heard the WH doesn't like it, though, that Obama doesn't want him or his family to be used for advertisements.

[Clio the Leo]

15. They dont like it for legal reasons...

.... but you can BET they LOVE it for political reasons.

[Jennicut]

17. Ha! I am sure they do.

[jenmito]

19. Good point...

and I'm SURE you're right!

[Clio the Leo]

5. And what happened to the Afghanistan outrage?

Why the silence? (not that I'm complaining)

[jenmito]

9. The majority agreed with Obama's decision `

re: Afghanistan (despite the opposition HERE).

[NJmaverick]

14. He has been responding how a President should respond

bush and cheney could take lessons from him.

[jenmito]

20. I agree. He looks and sounds calm, cool, and collected...

He doesn't try to scare (terrorize) us with "TERRA!" all day long.

[GreenPartyVoter]

31. Seriously. He didn't sit around reading "My Pet Goat." He also wouldn't have let New Orleans drown

while he attended a birthday party.

[Kahuna]

16. What the forget is that bush took 5 days to respond to 9/11.. Why..

oh why are Dems too lame to bring this up?

[impik]

27. Most Americans are not that stupid. They see a

terrific, honest and hard working president, and they appreciate the shit storm he's dealing with every day.

[jenmito]

29. I think you're right...

I'm so glad not many people have time to watch the "liberal" media trashing him all day.

[GreenPartyVoter]

30. I have some issues with some of his policies, but I think the media is trying to

start a tempest in a teapot on this one. It would be laughable if they didn't influence so many people.

[Phx_Dem]

32. He should have waited a few more days then come out with a six-shooter

strapped to his hip and said "We'll git 'em dead or alive. Heh heh"

Then those fools on cable would be wetting themselves and ejaculating on national TV.
