I'm Obama's Approval Rating, and I Approve this Message

News item: Obama's approval rating drops to 50-50.

For a fellow who might as well have changed his name to "Notbush" for the last election, he sure has been getting Bush-like results. People wanting change were told that Obama was the candidate for that, yet it sure looks like he wants to continue the Bush policies that people were voting against. Bigger government, wall street bailouts, misguided education and health programs. It's no wonder he's seeing sub-Bush approval ratings (by this point). What, exactly, is the difference between a big government republican and a big government democrat? Not much, I say. But you would at least expect to see some meaningful differences in economic policy. No, turns out the first order of business is launching Pelosi's shopping list.

Sure, guys like Geithner and Biden are merely incompetent; but Emmanual and Obama know what they are doing. They are doing Bush one better at every turn. Hard to believe it, but I can already see Bush 43's image as being rehabilitated before the midterm election. His will not have been a bad administration after all when compared to this one.
