Well, this must be a bad day for Obama's PR people (or Democrats in general). First, this morning, the Washington Compost,er, Post, released a poll that said that for the first time since he was elected, the approval for Obama's handling of the health care system has fallen below the "healthy" mark of 50%. Another poll, this one by CBS, says that Obama's approval ratins have dropped 6 points in the last month. Next up, the Feds are now estimating that Obama's efforts to correct the economy could cost as much as twenty three TRILLION dollars. That is double the nation's total economic output a year. Tax and Spend Democrat, anyone? Next up is that Democrats are planning to oppose an amendment by John Thune that will allow CHL holders to carry in other states that also have CHL. Guns are a topic that moderate Dems don't want to have to touch, so this could mean trouble. As a final problem for the day, Obama is delaying the release of the mid-session budget info, fueling speculation that he is trying to do that, since the numbers are not expected to be good. So, I think that just about covers it. Not the kind of day I would want to deal with...
