Amateur hour for the Obamunists

One of the biggest mistakes politicians make is misreading polling data.

For instance, in the news right now, support for Obamacare has dropped from the 60% range to the 40% range today.

Does that mean the public has read the thousands of pages of the House bill and decided that it doesn't work for them? Of course not. But what accounts for the drop?

I'm a believer that 80% of the American public couldn't care less if Obamacare is the law of the land. This is the group I call bread, beer and baseball crowd. As long as they have the ability to feed their family and have a few bucks for some of their vices, they couldn't care less.

So the decline in support for Obamacare is less about Obamacare itself than the potential threat to beer, baseball and bread. That's a non starter.

In the same vain, it's the same reason the Iraq War became unpopular. People found that the war was starting to interfere with their ability to enjoy their baseball, bread and beer. Democrats are now overplaying their Bush Hatred Platform believing that the public's dissatisfaction with Bush advances their cause. It does nothing of the sort.

Far be it from me to offer the Obamunists some advice but this investigation of the CIA is a total loser for them. Why?

1) How hard do your think CIA agents are going to go after future terrorists? That makes for an increased terror threat.

2) The election is over. People voted last November for something not Bush; not to criminalize what people did to terrorists. Going after the CIA is a total over reach and will appear as political
hackmanship, which is exactly what it is. Hating on Bush does not a government make.

3) This action will highlight what got missed during the election. Which is this..... democrats are soft on terrorists.

4) Dick Cheney, maybe the only conservative hero in the ranks, is back in the news to rally the troops. You really don't want this guy in the news.

5) What goes around come around. Unbeknownst to the Obamunists, there will be a day when they are not in power. I don't think they want the next administration to be making public their politically motivated hack jobs.

6) Remember Nancy Lollapelosi's claim the CIA lied to her about interrogation techniques? That's coming back and we'll prove once and for all what a liar she is and the media will have to cover it.

7) This is going to dominate the news for the rest of Obama's vacation in a $40,000 a week shack when most of the public has major anxiety about their economic condition. This looks like a total tin ear to the #1 issue for the public today which is THE ECONOMY STUPID.

So the Obamunists can continue to believe that hating on Bush is a popular way of getting elected and a way to move the American public opinion their way but it doesn't make their guy more popular. Remember, no one pounded on Bush more than Nancy Lollapelosi and just how popular is she outside of her little socialist enclave of San Francisco?

But hey, don't take my advice and find your furniture on the street in four years. That's OK by me.

I read that Obama won't be running for reelection in 2012--he's expecting to be crowned Emporer.

#6 - MSM will find someway to not report Nancy's shortcomings.

#7 - I'm waiting for a writeup of how many vacations this bozo is taking. Seems he can't stand to actually stay at the White House for anything.
