Obama began his presidency literally and politically reaching out as far as he could: to Cuba, Russia, Syria and Iran, for example. Here at home, he hunkered down in the Oval Office with congressional Republicans and leaders of corporate America.
Click the link above to read to entire article. My take:
Dear Howard,President O reached as far left as he could, Second point - he met with Republican leaders and corporate executives. When did this take place, was it in proportion to the time spent with democrats? Are you rewriting history or do you know something I do not? Are these the premise for the article? As to approval ratings: the item left out is often as important as the item mentioned. President O's disapproval rating is at 50% on handling the economy.
Meteoric rises are most often followed by at least a reversion to the mean, sometimes hard, like the crash in stocks or real estate. Stats are Stats. I believe the top has been rung in President O's ratings and there is no place to go but down and sideways. The problems stated in the article are true, but his real economic rating in the world will be tracked by the 10 year treasury note rate. A one percent rise in the rate will change the price over 10%, who will buy my tuppins?
