Obama Bail Out in trouble?

With Obama as popular as he will ever be he is pushing for another bail out.

60% Americans are against it unless it includes cutting their taxes too. . . .

This is not what Obama signed on for. His plans will need to raise our taxes not lower them. This is probably the start of the inevitable downward slide of his popularity. Right now he is still golden, but once he takes office he will have to do something and this will not make him popular. He has already upset his base by not being as left as they want, and he probably will have to stay to the center to actually fix anything or at lest have a chance at fixing it.

I don't think he will even get through the 100 days without a major loss in popularity. Buyers remose is on its way economy size. . . we will see. If he goes after the Second Amendment it will be even quicker as he will alienate the gun owners and normal folks that will see him as distracted from the real issues of the country, the economy.

I don't think he can win this one. It will be a long four years but when done I think there is a good chance he will be even less popular than Bush is. . . . and our country may be even more divided than it is now.

I was talking with my son this evening and he commented that Obamarama's popularity will tank around the beginning of May. That's about 100 days, isn't it?

Of course his tanking will be good for the Republicans in 2010. Well, if they have half a brain in their collective head. Which is no sure thing.

TOTWTYTR the sooner he tanks the better for the country. I want to see not only a tank but complete stagnation in DC before they sell us out all the way
