This weeks politics

As the media and the country continue to debate the new Health Care Reform signed into law by Obama, this only hurts the Democrats and boosts Republicans. Take the following set of polls as proof:
  • Republicans lead Democrats in all Congressional generic polls. Average around 3-4 points.
  • Enthusiasm for 2010 elections is 50% very excited for Republicans; 35% very excited for Democrats. Intensity is the name of the game in midterm elections.
  • 50-40 average. People against Obamacare. This is an average of all polls.
  • 44-34 percent believe this bill will harm our economy, according to Gallup.
  • 55-29 believe quality of care will go down, according to Gallup.
  • 61-23 believe the US debt will go up from Obamacare.
The Obama Administration continues to annoy our most loyal ally in the Middle East (Israel), while walking on egg shells with rogue country's, such as Iran.

Obama agreed to open up portions of the Atlantic for oil drilling. This pissed the Mother Jones wing of his party off. However, he refused to allow opening of drilling on the Pacific, as well as Alaska (ANWR) where the oil is abundant. This pisses the conservatives off. He's really digging himself a hole. A hole that if it gets too deep, will start making him look like a Jimmy Carter, one term President... and a bad one at that.
