They say Obama is spectacularly popular? Of course they do. They're in love with him.
Let's put all the media fanfare into proper perspective. Obama's current popularity is in no way unprecedented. When looking back over the past 60 years, Obama's popularity at the 100-day landmark is not the slightest bit impressive:
Way to go Obama, you're shoulder to shoulder with Richard Millhouse Nixon!
Obama's approval index should be worrying Obamaphiles. The approval index is determined by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. As of 5/2/09, Obama's Presidential Approval Index rating is +1. That's down from a rating of +21 on 1/21/2009.
It's much too early for Obama supporters to get comfortable with Obama's popularity.
But Obama is the one we have been waiting for — and the change we can believe in! How can this be happening? Obama's net approval is dropping because his unicorns have come home to roost.
"The contradictions between Obama's words and actions are many. He opposes big government, and then he vastly expands it. He says he favors bipartisanship, but doesn't practice it. He says he is against earmarks, and then signs the largest pork package in history. And that is just to name a few."
We no longer have the luxury of imagining Obama is whatever we want him to be. The fantasy is over; Obama is a real president making real mistakes.

If the media was really doing its job, we'd hear the percentages they don't like, too. As it is, the cull the impressive figures and we all hear that.
That unicorn's missing its teleprompter. :-)
Obama isn't half, not even one-eighth the president that Nixon was. Nixon had China dousing their panties during his visit.
Now world leaders look at us and try to figure out which angle they will use to take advantage of our weak leadership.
Z: It's journalistic malpractice.
Blue: It's just a matter of time. When the cat's away the mice will play.
Thanks for posting that Rasmussen poll. Yeehaw!
O6: It makes one want to let out a "Dean scream" doesn't it?

If you agree with what I'm about to say, you have my permission to reprint it..
What I’m going to say is just like the asswipes on the liberal blogs said, and call for the Impeachment of the sitting President, who we all can see now is an idiot. Lets run down his idiot-ness (is that a word?) and see how well he’s done in his first 100 days in office…
The Europeans, who were all lining up to take turns kissing up to the Messiah sucking up to him like a vintage Hoover vacuum cleaner have had an epiphany, and now are convinced that he’s an utter moron who doesn’t know his ass from his elbow about economics, foreign policy, domestic policy, etc, etc, etc, and is also completely clueless on how to properly treat a visiting head of state or foreign dignitary with the decorum that the position deserves. Us conservatives pointed out that he was a complete bumbling idiot, but the liberals wouldn’t listen, and accused us conservatives of trying to *steal* the election by scaring the world into thinking that he would ruin their economies. I guess we were right, but its rather a moot point, because the idiot got elected.
He has spent more, in the first 100 days of the presidency, than all of the other presidents COMBINED have spent in their first FULL YEAR in office. That’s impressive, only because we were told that it would be impossible to spend that much money in that short of a period because it would bankrupt the country, so all of us conservatives were told that we were just *being alarmists* and trying to win an election with our own moron by scaring the beJesus out of the population in order to *steal* the election from the Messiah. I guess we were right, but its rather a moot point, because the idiot got elected.
We conservatives pointed out that he couldn’t cobble together a coherent sentence on his own without the help of a staff of writers, and Teleprompters placed in a grid-like pattern in a radius of 50 feet, spaced two feet apart in any direction form the next available Teleprompter, so as to make sure the idiot wouldn’t stumble over the words, or forget his place. And even with all that, the idiot *lost* his place on the scrolling Teleprompter, and just babbled for 5 minutes while the staff tried to scroll the text back so that he could stop making an idiot of himself. Again, I guess we were right, but its rather a moot point, because the idiot got elected. Pretty impressive isn’t it!
He wouldn’t know an un-corrupt politician if said politician dropped to his knees and bowed to him... . His is the first presidency in history where the amount of overall appointments is running neck and neck with the amount of tax cheats he’s appointed. Us conservatives pointed out that OBambi was nothing more than a corrupt Chicago asswipe. I guess we were right, but its rather a moot point, because the idiot got elected.
We pointed out that he’s a gun-grabber, and he even turned the spotlight onto himself with the *clinging to religion and guns* statement he made, but the panty-wetters at the Brady Outhouse to Prevent you from Exercising your Second Amendment Right got their titty-nipples tied into knots and claimed that we were trying to scare the law-abiding citizens into not voting for him, in effect trying to steal the election by spreading false and vicious rumors. I guess we were right, but its rather a moot point, because the idiot got elected.
The list of stuff goes on, but I’m not going to bore the readership with the more mundane things that prove, beyond a doubt, that he’s a complete bozo, and an idiot who couldn’t find his behind with both hands and a map, a moron who demeans the office of the Presidency by going on late-night talk shows and yucks it up, laughing as he talks about how much money he’s going to be spending in order to *fix* the broken government that he *inherited*
And you Libs thought Bush was stupid? This guy is infantile. He’s way out of his league, and he may very well be impeached after the 2010 election by the wave of conservatives that will no doubt be swept into office.
IMHO: The left is scrambling to jump of a cliff like a bunch of lemmings. Will rational Americans take note before it's too late?
