| #5 Maybe. I hope so, but I'm not sanguine about it. Watch for even more corrupt and open politicization of various federal programs and for legislation whose main purpose is to swing votes to Dem. |

| #4 70% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 16% Strongly Approve and 46% Strongly Disapprove. BO is heading for trouble in November of 2010 and 2012. |

| #1 Forty-five percent (45%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 70% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 16% Strongly Approve and 46% Strongly Disapprove. The way things are going for Bambi one can only hope his disapproval ratings reach 100% before November 2010 and November 2012. |
