It’s Lonely At The Top
A recent Harris Poll show President Obama has a support structure that’s paper-thin … and kind of rotten at that.
More people dislike the VEEP than like him (36% dislike/32% mysteriously liking). And he can’t turn to NanPo for a shriveled shoulder to lean on – the House Speaker’s detractors outnumber her supporters by more than two to one. The ever-so-critical Tim the tax-cheat Geithner? Nope: 16% positive, 26% negative and 59% could care less. Bush hold-over Bob Gates? Wow! Finally someone with 2 to 1 favorables – but 57 percent of the folks never heard of him.
Says LAT’s still not renamed Top of the Ticket blog,
The new online poll of 2,681 American adults taken last month shows that after eight years of the well-known Evil Crowd, many on Obama’s team are not only not well-known, they’re little-known. Almost unknown.
(Psst. This may be how The Boss wants it.)
More interesting than these stats and dredged-up anti-Bush pokes, frankly, was the “middle names” Top of the Ticket gave to the various Obama hangers-on:
•Joe “To Be Safe Don’t Go Anywhere Near Anyone Who’s Breathing” Biden
•Nancy “Maybe I Wasn’t Really Listening When They Lied to Me” Pelosi
•Hillary “Shame on You, Barack Obama” Clinton
What a menagerie Barack “Is there anything you’d like me to apologize for?” Obama has assembled!
p.s.: If you can’t read the type on the Dispair.com poster, it says, “It’s lonely at the top, but it’s comforting to look down at everyone at the bottom.”
