100 days
As we round the bend to the 100 days mark expect another hullabaloo from the premiere astro turfing machine the world has ever seen: The Obamamedia.
Apparently he'll have another press conference to mark the longest period he's ever worked consecutively - 100 days - in which we will learn much about credit cards read from a TelePrompTer. CNN, The LA and NY Times and most especially MSNBC will froth about how popular he is.
Don't believe it. He hovers around 60% which is utterly unremarkable and places him even with George W Bush and behind Nixon. He is below average based on polling done since Eisenhower, and way, WAY behind JFK.
Obama does come in first place in one category: He is the most polarizing President in memory. Perhaps since Lincoln. From RCP : The polarized view of Obama would hardly be notable if not for the tenor of Obama's candidacy...Transcending the two tribes of Washington was the nucleus of Obama's campaign.
But hey, 40% of the population, including Black conservatives, must be racist.
The noise will be ramped up again by the boot licking Obamamedia. Statements about his "popularity" will be yelped - with no context - relentlessly
I am still keeping to my revised guess that he falls below fifty percent in September.
