179. And do your son's friends think the increase in unemployment under Obama was good for them?
Realistically, Obama's supporters want to ignore the polls which show his increasing unpopularity. Explaining that phenomenon requires breaking down his support by demographic groups, which may lead to some divisive conclusions. However, the reality is that when the President's negatives with voters outweigh his positives, it is time for him to consider standing aside for someone else for the good of the party.

Doing the right thing isn't always popular, but doing the wrong thing is usually unpopular. At least in terms of economic reforms, I haven't seen much from President Obama. I wouldn't want to compare him to Jesus here. Jesus wouldn't have voted for TARP, and He threw the money changers out of the Temple. Obama has been far too cozy with Goldman Sachs and Wall Street for my taste.
