MICKEY KAUS: “Something is Killing the President’s Approval Numbers (especially on Rasmussen): Is it his budget? Or the failure to pass health care reform, his #1 priority, and the ensuing strategic flailing, which is creating the impression that he’s … well, a loser? Nice guy. Knows all the arguments. Can’t get it done.” It’s the budget. And the out-of-touch condescension.

UPDATE: Hey, don’t blame Obama. It’s just that America is “ungovernable.” All is proceeding exactly as I have foreseen. . . .
