Let’s see, surveys tell us that about 85% of Americans think the nation is on the wrong track — heading off a cliff — and have thought that for several years now. And surveys tell us that 85% of the American people are happy. Explanation: the nation has gone off the cliff and we are all going weee!
If polls show the President is personally unpopular with the electorate at large (which is different from job approval numbers), then attacking him while he is oversees might make political sense — and as we all know, Barak Obama is a politician, maybe The Politician. But if most voters do not hold a personal grudge, they may well see Obama’s attack as unfair and over the top — which it plainly was. After all, President Bush was speaking in the capacity of Head of State and is not running for reelection. The statements he made about appeasement are the same we have heard dozens of times before. And a President meeting “unconditionally” with an adversary is not the same as an Ambassador holding talks on specific subjects “unconditionally.”
The media seems to be sending out the message: don’t be like those low class Hillbilly whites, support Obama. I can see that working out west. Not so much in the border states and Midwest.
