re: #197 thefarmer

Just wanted to thanks for you all being here. Helps me feel sane. Other than the wife and a few friends, I think the rest around me are insane, buying this BS as Obama works his “magic”.
Do you all buy this 60% approval rating? In a few weeks he’s gone a long way to creating interminable problems for the far future.

It is my understanding that a 60% approval rating for this time period (a few weeks after taking office) isn’t at all unusual; in fact, it might be a few points lower than some other recent presidents had soon after being inaugurated.

Still higher than he should have, if you ask me.
