Obama’s Disapproval Jumps, Couric Instead Stresses: ‘Most Think His Priority is Serving the People’
In a new CBS News/New York Times poll, President Barack Obama’s disapproval level jumped five points, to 45 percent since the last survey in mid-January, with approval now at just 46 percent, but Thursday’s CBS Evening News skipped that bad news for Obama and instead highlighted some better news for the President.
Though 80 percent said “members of Congress more interested in serving special interest groups” than the American people, “the President gets better marks on that score,” Katie Couric touted, as “most think his priority is serving the people.” Reporter Nancy Cordes relayed how “only 29 percent think the GOP is trying to work with the President, while 62 percent think Mr. Obama is reaching across the aisle.”
Either those 80% are just flat out ignorant, and the MSM isn’t doing it’s job, or, we live in a nation full of dolts, and the MSM isn’t doing it’s job. “Obama serving the people”?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 
Hmmmm…. Let’s see, GOP locked out of any negotiations concerning some big ticket bills? Well, I’d say, sure….Obumbler is definitely ‘reaching across the aisle”, wouldn’t you? I mean, after all, he’s decided, finally, to let C-Span broadcast his dog and pony show! /snark
Here’s the kicker:
CORDES: But for more than half the country, the Tea Party movement remains a relative mystery.
CORDES TO WOMAN IN BOOK STORE: How about you? I’m sorry, can you tell me what you know about the tea party.
WOMAN: I know that it’s a right-wing kind of conservative movement right now.
MAN: I know that Sarah Palin is associated with the Tea Party, but other than that.
ANOTHER WOMAN: Um, from what I’ve seen, they look pretty angry.
Damn skippy we’re angry! And these people should be too! IF the media had been doing it’s job, they would be. But what can you expect from a bunch of left wing Obama suck ups? I wonder if they are aware of how many people who attend the Tea Parties are actually Democrats? NOT the lefty/progressive variety, but REAL Democrats. And they aren’t all white either, contrary to what they’ve been told!
I would like to inform these types, but they seem to be of the mindset that anything that comes from the alphabets is gospel. Pretty pathetic that so many have been so brainwashed, they are incapable of doing a bit of investigating on their own. I’d highly recommend they read the U.S. Constitution, and if that confuses them, how about The 5000 Year Leap!
It’s the kool aid. Who keeps passing that out anyway?
Hmm…. I think they have a line outside the WH before the briefing everyday. Perhaps they have little plastic bottles to get extra so they can share with their colleagues.
Must be! What else could explain the complete LACK of understanding of what the real issues are in this country?
I have this mental image of all those yahoos standing in line, jonesing for their fix! Heh.
