It's interesting. The media hyperventilates over any Gallup polling that finds the Democrats in despair. But when Gallup finds Barack Obama's approval rating jumping a net 12 percentage points in two and a half weeks, with more approving than disapproving for two straight days -- the first time that has been the case since mid-July -- all we hear is... crickets. Interesting.

1. That does not fit the "GOP is staging a HUGE comeback in November" meme. It does nothing to advance
the program to allow them to STEAL ANOTHER election.

4. And that is why so many tea baggers think his approval is in the low 20s
cuz they only hear the drops (down 5 pts, down 7 pts, down 3 pts - MYGOD he's down 15points!) without hearing the increase (up 3 pts, up 4 pts, up 12 pts) that balance it out.

5. The media is the single biggest problem our country faces
If we have an impartial, honest, hard working media, the truth would be widely known. With truth in place, nothing right (as in correct) is impossible.

6. They're waiting for the next fake poll to come out.
"This just in: Presidential approval rating plummets to 2%!!!!!!11111111" (On an online poll. That we locked votes we didn't like after people decided they wanted to vote that way. Yes, Fox has done that.)

7. Aren't they assholes?
No need to answer, it's rhetorical.
