Sorry for the delay between posts, my laptop had a lot of money invested in AIG and has refused to turn on for the past week. I finally talked him out of pulling the plug this morning, but he’s barely hanging on right now.
Which brings me to today’s newest headline: .Bush approval rating falls to 19%
Jesus, less than one in five Americans approves of the job this man has done. And yet, the man who has proudly said he’s voted with the current president 90% of the time (and it’s actually 100% this year), is actually still making this current race close.
Granted, people seem to be waking up, finally, regardless of what the latest AP poll says about race. (Side note: While I think race is going to play a little bit of a factor, no doubt, I feel that the number of white democrats that don’t vote for Obama because he’s black will be out-weighed by the number of new black voters that vote for Obama because he’s black. Remember when he won the primary with more votes than anyone had ever gotten in a primary? Yea.)
It’s becoming obvious that the American people are not happy with what’s going on with the economy currently, and isn’t too jazzed about footing the bill for banks that have acted irresponsibly. Especially when we live in a time where if a person acted as irresponsibly with their money as these banks have, the government would not only take their house away, but would make them jump through hoops to be able to declare bankruptcy and be bailed out.
Seriously, people, “more of the same” is more than a campaign slogan, it’s the truth. McCain recently said he wants to take the same approach to Health Care as we’ve taken to the banking industry. The man is clueless. The choice is becoming more and more clear every day.
