| B.O.'s ratings starting to dip |
| 2009-01-27 |
| BARACK Obama's approval ratings have nosedived by 15 points after only six days in office, according to a new poll. The Gallup poll shows that reality is setting in for the new US President after the euphoria that greeted his inauguration last Tuesday. But his ratings still stand at an impressive 68 per cent despite the fall. |

| #10 Than is when he starts becoming dangerous. You really don't understand how this country works. It's not a parliamentary dictatorship. Ask Johnson. Or Nixon. Or Ford. Or Carter. Or Reagan. Or Clinton. Or Bush. |

| #7 Gas pumps still require credit cards, too. Curious omission by the One, but no doubt he's working hard on it right now. |

| #3 The press will massage the numbers to the extent that they are able, so that his approval ratings never appear to go below 50%, even if the reality is not the case. Never forget Evan Thomas' 10-15% rule. |
