And Buffet is predicting that unemployment will reach 11% soon. Mark my words if Obama keeps governing like he has the first 6 months the next 3 1/2 years unemployment will reach 15% nationally. And as we all know people vote with their pocket books.

That's very true, I never enter a polling booth without "Armenia on a shoe-string" in my back pocket.
I love poll numbers. You can almost turn them into anything you want. If you want to say Obama is doing a terrible job you harp on the bad stuff. If you want to say he’s doing a great job then you pick the good and highlight that.
The numbers may not change but two people will interpret them differently. I'm sure there is someone out there writing an article right now on how great Obama is doing and what a wonderful leader he is. If not, I'll get right on that.
Its opinion. Most Americans change their opinions like they change their underwear.
At least he’s not Bush (Varus this comment is just for you)

Because of the way the default U3 Unemployment is calculated, it's virtually impossible for it to reach 15% anytime soon. That aside, the job market will very likely continue to do poorly. It's a lagging economic indicator and even if the stimulus was working perfectly, which it obviously isn't, jobs would still lag a broader recovery.
What you're missing here is that this is being intentionally timed for political reasons. Most of the stimulus money will reach the economy right around the mid term elections, which may or may not have enough impact to allow the Democrats to hold the current majorities in congress. If I had to handicap it now I'd say the odds of the GOP picking up a few senate seats, probably between 2-5 are pretty good. A great deal of the coming 2010 elections depends on how much gets accomplished on health care, and how long the administration can delay the looming consumer credit crisis that no one has an answer for.
Polling now is virtually meaningless in terms of electoral outcomes 15 months from now. Ask President Giuliani.

Haha, took a day off from the Consulting Gig That Never Ends because Nexa has a job interview and apparently it's not ok to have lobsters and bears care for the kid.

Here's the hilarious thing. The timing of the natural economic cycle is on the President's side. He could offer up a stimulus package involving the use of dehydrated capybara turds as an energy source and we will most likely still be in the midst of a nice recovery in time for the next presidential election cycle. It doesn't matter what his numbers are in 2009. It doesn't matter what he does or doesn't do, really. Let's revisit his popularity numbers in 2011, when it counts.

Oh, lawd. Now I'm seeing Smash as a big ol' magpie.
Well, more than usually.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
The odds of the GOP picking up 10 seats in 2010 are approximately the odds of the Rapture happening before then.

Actually it matters in 2010 because if the gop picks up a couple of seats that gives them the power of filibuster. If it picks up 10 they're now the majority.
good luck with snagging ten seats
I only linked wiki because the page has a nice pretty map (if you scroll down a tad) that shows the senate election situation (in 2010). It shows which seats are incumbent and which have retiring Senators. Just a cursory glance tells me it's going to be tough for the republicans to gain a lot of ground.
The republicans have five retiring Senators versus one for the Dems and that one is in Delaware (not a republican stronghold). Also the blue block in the west and seats in New York, Maryland, and Connecticut are likely to stay blue.
If you're honestly think you can pick up 10 seats in the Senate in 2010, I've got a bridge in...

Looking around some other political web forums, a disturbingly large amount of them all have trolls with names of roman philosophers and such......Same guy?
