One would think that between gasoline prices, which 70% say is their #1 concern in election 2012, and ObamaCare that his numbers would be closer to 30% approval than 50%.
Even the R's admit that we have cheap gas. Could be cheaper, but compared to gold and all that, or even other countries, we are in good shape. NOT a good talking point for Obama, but still the reality is he cannot do much more to help with it. We are in an asset based world economy, Fed or not.
Which just shows that the Republican Party deserves its appellation as "The Stupid Party". Had the Republicans enough sense to nominate Ron Paul the public would have had a real choice:
Nobel Peace Prize winning war monger vs. actual peace.
Massive deficits vs. a serious attempt at balancing the budget.
The Patriot Act, NDAA, and TSA vs. a restoration of the Bill of Rights.
The Nanny State vs. freedom and responsibility.
The Evil white hating RACIST vs. the Evil black hating RACIST [*]
I'm not sure which column dumbed down Americans would choose but at least they'd have a choice. As it is, we get the usual -- the illusion of choice. Exactly how our globalist masters want it.
