65. The signs point that way
And I am not a Freeper, PUMA etc. Just a liberal Dem under 40 and if these people think the progressive base is going to behave like sheep the way the Repugs did for Bush 6/8 years and just blindly follow along they are wrong. Sure his approval rating is high right now.
Give it time and if people keep losing jobs at this clip and he keeps pissing off his lefty base it will start dropping and he needn't expect tons of small donations, young people canvassing and working tirelessly for him come 2012.

He is a politician -I don't love him, worship him or care about how cute his dog is or how awesome the first lady's wardrobe is. Sure at times when he is doing at least enough stuff policy wise that I feel happier with him, some of that stuff is a cute distraction. But the amount of bullshit he is dishing out right now has nothing to do with "wanting a pony".

This is bullshit and no more small donations from our household come 2012. I wish that all Dems would continue to vote Dem, but start using the system of primary challenges to really start getting rid of these fucking corporate Dems.
