Mika cherry picks polls and whacks Gibbs
First, she picks the two polls that show the lowest approval ratings for President Obama so she can claim he's losing support in the country. (On the case of the Gallup poll she compared the current number to the number on Jan. 21 which most agree was artificially high, to make it seem like there has been a slide.) But she ignores other polls which show his support is still high: http://www.pollingreport.com/obama_job.htm
Second, she is disturbed by Robert Gibbs showing disrespect to Dick Cheney. Why isn't she disturbed about Cheney breaking protocal to criticize the President less than 2 months after taking office? Why isn't she disturbed that John King only asked Cheney softball question?
This woman was fired from CBS for exhibiting blatant bias in her reporting. She is hated within MSNBC and probably would have been fired there if Joe Scarborogh wasn't protecting her.

1. maybe if people stop watching it they will cancel the show.
that is my hope. though i do turn over there from time to time. i like when her dad is on there because he isn't afraid to tell them how he feels. i can't help but wonder what her father thinks of her lack of self respect not to mention or lack of journalistic integrity.

2. Here is her "slide"
If I was Sasha Obama, and my daddy got me a new swing set and it had a "slide" like this on it, I'd refuse to do my homework until he got me a new one. In other words, this is no slide.



Now THIS is a slide......



Obviously I dont have to tell you that this is BUSH'S slide. :)

3. Ha ha! That analogy is perfect.
This is really a non story...he is still more popular then Bush 1, Clinton and Bush 2 were at this same time period.

5. I saw that. Well, today Gallup has him up to 62% approval and down to 27% disapproval...
and he's been down to 59% so I would hardly call it "losing support." But that's the way of the "liberal" media. :eyes:
