RESIZE: AAA

From Public Policy Polling, the official pollster of DailyKos:

“We’ll start rolling out our Ohio poll results tomorrow but there’s one finding on the poll that pretty much sums it up: by a 50-42 margin voters there say they’d rather have George W. Bush in the White House right now than Barack Obama.”

      there’s nothing much inside them.

    Hell’s bells, with this current walking disaster of a president, I miss Jimmy Carter. Shane…er, I mean Jimmy! Come back!

    Good grief, that is so sad.

    Uh, do you mean lower unemployment? Lower taxes? Lower healthcare costs?

    The Dem strategy is backfiring on them big time, but since they hide from their “accomplishments” what else do they have besides “It’s Bush’s fault” and “the GOP is racist”?

      “go back to Bush”? The buffoons in the WH, especially the Chief Buffoon, can’t grasp it. They are congenitally incapable of accepting responsibility for mistakes and stupidity, spoiled by years of flattery from a media as ignorant and dull as they are.
      This kind of news will only kindle more flaming hate inside the ant heaps of the left. Right about now they’re grinding their teeth down to stumps. Worst part about is, they’re running out of insults, the result of stunted brains & reliance on a dying media, & what’s a leftist without insults.

        Both posts. Agree 100%.

    Some people were deep in the ether, I guess

    There’s never been a day in my life where I’d prefer to have this anti-American incompetent in the White House over George W Bush… why would there be?

    that PPP is the official pollster of Daily Kos shouldn’t matter. This poll isn’t even for Daily Kos, and the toplines of PPP (whether its independent or for Daily Kos) *usually* resemble the toplines of other pollsters. An exception for this is obviously House races, and the laughable poll they just put out showing Grayson leading by 17 (!) points in FL-08.

    I think that Ohio Senate is ours for taking. The fact that Fisher has no money (his primary opponent made him spend it so much), and Portman has a good ground base means that it’s his race to lose. Portman’s strong enough that it will be him having the coattails, and should carry John Kasich across the line. Another benefit is the amount of House races in Ohio that are competitive. (OH-01, OH-13, OH-15, OH-16)

      …which is what I think Strieff was getting at.

      The constant mudslinging at Bush was a foolish move from the get-go, for two reasons. First, it was bound to eventually expose Obama’s people for whiners and punks. And second, it was a gamble – because if Obama couldn’t make things better in time for midterm election season, as in right now, then folks would start looking at Bush as a lot better than Obama.

      They’re not going to have a rhetorical leg to stand on after this is over.

        analysis, you are right, is poorly written and comes from a perspective of the liberals.

        The Democrats have nothing else to show after four years in charge of Congress. I recall them passing the minimum wage increase back in like ’07 (which should sell well with the American public immediately) but that’s old stuff. In the last two years, we’ve had Obamacare, a finance bill that doesn’t deal with Fannie & Freddie, a stimulus bill that never stimulated anything, and weird new taxes and earmarks. I mean, you think they would have learned something by August 2009. Guess it take them nearly 2 years.

          why it’s Bush Bush Bush from the D’s these days.

    Avoiding adjectives such as “disrespectfully” and “foolishly”,, Mr. Obama has treated George W. Bush as a caricature. Fine, done. However, when a caricature becomes more popular, something the American people empathize more, Obama himself becomes his worst enemy – a caricature himself.

    You can boast power to move light, Mr. President, but your shadow will always follow you.

    Bush is hardly my favorite president considering his fiscal policies especially the medicare “enhancement” and “TARP”. However, I am still very happy that he beat Kelly and Gore…Otherwise my financial situation would have been much worse and no way would I have recovered from 2002. I was laid off in 2002 and it was during the Bush years I saw greatest growth of my career and finally reached some level of financial independence. I agree with Bill O’Reilly the most on one thing, you need to vote even if you don’t get your favorite candidate. You should always vote for the candidate that does the least damage to the country and society. I would vote for GWB in any day over Obama.

      I meant John Kerry.

      conservative in the primary, rebublican in the general.

      No voter is going to get the perfect candidtate. Unless it’s your Mom or Dad and you are the favorite of the family.

    On the day before Election Day ’08. Not the day after, when the results came in and I went into a day of mourning. Before. And then I missed him more on Inauguration Day. January 20th, wasn’t it? Well, my birthday is January 13th. What a sucky belated b-day present: a giant middle finger aimed at the whole country.

    BUT! I will say this. As much as I despise the Clown-in-Chief, he’s done more to awaken people who would otherwise be clueless to what’s going on in the country.

    Is this where that saying about clouds and silver linings comes in? Or has the silver lining been stripped to pay off the national debt? [/sarc]

      In a backhanded kinda way, it was fortuitous that Obama became prez.

      We are all ears and eyes. Now we need to be “BOOTS ON THE GROUND”
