It is pretty perplexing, but I can honestly say the chart moves to my pulse on him as well. I love that he is taking a long time to think about what he is going to do with Afghanistan. There are some very very frustrating things that occur and I can’t tell what the fucking strategy is. But it seems to polarize the country more than bring them together though. Which isn’t what he wanted to do. I don’t know if that is his fault as much as it is the media. Picking a fight with FOX was a gamble as the media empire has global reach including the WSJ.

I hate the media and how they are able to drive the narrative and how easy stupid Americans fall in line with it. I can honestly see how they drive the hate and how it affects approval ratings. That being said, Bush got decent approval ratings for being a war criminal. Despite their inability to take on torture and an illegal war, Bush managed to get out alive thanks in large part to Fox news.

I’m not totally approving of what O is doing. He could still with a wave of his hand reverse DADT. He could have stepped out to drive the health-care issue and he could do WAY more regarding the bailout mess.

But we all know who controls Penn Avenue and as long as the banks can keep doing what they are doing I will not be a fan of anyone in office.
