#1 His polls would be lower if the MSM were an honest broker of the news. How about a headline which says: The ONE has caused the economy and our credit rating to tank and he does nothing about it? Gas prices have increased more than 200% since he took office.

#2 note the WaPo had to give a fake 10% edge to Dems to get that 47% approval (33-D/23-R/38-I). Can you imagine the approval rating if they honestly sampled? Dem/Rep is actually around 50%/50% for non-Independents

#3 
Then there is this question. How many "independents" are conservative and how many are liberal? No one ever seems to have THAT breakout.

#4 The only way to really cut the deficit and the budget is to take an axe to the CAUSE of the deficit - the explosion of government. If we cut the government workforce by 25%, the amount of government regulation by 30%, and the amount of duplication by 50%, the budget would be slashed in half, revenue would increase by about 35%, and we'd have a revenue surplus that could be applied to the debt. It would be far better if Congress would make these cuts, rather than the American people. The People might be a tad over-zealous in their use of tar, feathers, and pitchforks, but I'm not really sure that would be bad. It might give "government" the idea that explosive growth at this time is bad, and they'll wait a few decades before trying it again. Tar and feathers would then be up to our grandchildren. I'll be sure to train mine right.
