Barack Obama’s Approval Rating Soars And He Deserves It.

Not only that, but the approve/disapprove gap is now right-side up 9 points, which is all the more remarkable, considering:
• The magnitude of problems he inherited back in 2009.

• A Congress that conspired to make him own his predecessor’s blunders.

• That same Congress’s refusal to cooperate in righting the ship they helped capsize.

When you think about it, had the GOP leadership been smart, they’d have cooperated with the president’s plan for the recovery every here and there, just so they could point at something positive they contributed.

The GM bailout? Sure, why not. 1.5M American jobs in the rust belt looks good at election time.

Lily Ledbetter? Aw, shucks…okay, I’ll vote for it just to keep the wife happy.

ObamaCare? Okay, you five newbies in the back row, you vote for it, the rest of us will oppose it. That way, if it’s not a complete disaster, at least we can say it was a bipartisan effort.

The one lone exception to a policy decision Barack Obama executed on his own that the GOP couldn’t let slip by…that they tried to steal credit for, was the mission to take out Osama bin Laden.

To this day, I don’t think most Americans appreciate the gambit this president took when he green-lighted that op, nor the courage it took, politically. Whereas the fat, lazy warthog known as Karl Rove immediately recognized the potential impact of the success of the bin Laden mission, so within 24 hours of its announcement, he launched the following talking point; “President Obama deserves some credit, yes, but so too does George W. Bush who put all the pieces in play.”

The pieces in play being what exactly? Posting  wanted dead or alive posters in the post office???
