A brand-new
Pew Research Poll -- widely circulated and publicized -- informs that approval ratings for President Obama have an historic partisan gap. The approval-percentage gap is wider between Republcans and Democrats on Obama than for any prexy in the last forty years. So much for our new era of cooperation.
The gap is 61%, with 88% of Democrats approving the presidents job performance to date and a mere 27% of Republicans. What caught my attention
immediately has apparently not raised anyone else's eybrows, much less the hair on the backof their necks.
Parlaying the solid-leftist work of President Carter in the late '70s and the contributions of President Clinton in the ealy '90s (before the Republican Revolution of 1994); following and building on the subversion in the early and mid oh-ohs by Rains, Waters, ACORN, Obama, Dodd, Frank, and Cuomo; Rahm Emanuel orchestrated and choreographed, while Charles Schumer lobbed the first grenade in the 2008 October Surprise to end all October surprises; all of that leading to "a crisis is an opportunity not to be wasted." Now in the first two months of the Obama Administration, the federal government has gone from 67% unconstitutional to 75% with a trajectory to achieve more than 80% by year's end. The
Declaration of Independence has
de facto been repealed. The President has spoken, and America has renounced its sovereignty.
And 27% of Republicans
approve of the President's job performance. Between a quarter and a third of Republicans are cheering . . . and want more. My posture is slumped. I'm blowing profanity outa one orifice and smoke and flames from the other end.
