I wish you all the happiness you can have this Thanksgiving, and the strength to transcend that which you can’t have.

These are ugly for Obama.

Happy thanksgiving, David.

Mitt Romney is a good man.
But not for President.
We need greatness at this time in our history.
Sarah Palin or Mike Huckabee, one or both.

Lowest approvals of any sitting President.

I can see an electoral college win slipping away from Obama already.

Bush’s approval ratings dipped into the 20’s, breaking even Carter’s lousy ratings record. That said, he also had the highest in the 90’s after 9/11. To the subject at hand though, approval ratings now are not indicative of reelection chances. Come back in two years when the challengers are lined up and we’re within a year of the 2012 election.

Obama’s numbers in NY, CA, WA, and OR are still okay because much of his disapproval comes from liberals and Democrats that would vote for him in a general election against the Republican.
He should be worried about Virginia and Missouri.

I don’t believe Reagan ever dipped below 60.

JA Pruce:“I don’t believe Reagan ever dipped below 60.”
Gallup shows that for three out of every four polls taken during his administration, Reagan was under 60%

I liked Ronald Reagan a lot. However, after reducing taxes, and thereby significantly increasing revenues, he did allow Congress to spend way to much money and deificit spending was bad during his administration. That is exactly what Romney was speaking of when he said he would not return to the policies of Reagan. That is exactly what they were arguing about. I posted proof a couple days ago, and nobody admitted they were wrong, they just left the conversation.
