I don't recall that much effort on looking at the moron Bush's 100, 200 days.

1. By this point in shrubbies
stolen Presidency they weren't kissing his ass full time yet, it took 9/11 for that to happen, but there was no scorecard or endless polling going on. At least not that I can remember.

3. The layoffs
and tech bubble bust had just started. There was supposed to be a report on the stolen election on 9/11/2001. But, as we know, it was over shadowed.

6. Here's one they chose to highlight
A rather surprising finding from the newly released CNN poll. Question three on the national survey of 1,136 adults (which includes an oversample of African-Americans) asks, "Do you consider the first six months of the Obama administration to be a success or a failure?"

Thirty-seven percent (37%) said they believe the Obama administration is a "failure," while 51% consider it a "success" and 11% say it's still "too soon to tell."

An identical question was asked of the Bush administration in an August 2001 CNN/Gallup/USA Today survey. At the time, 56% said the Bush administration was a "success" while only 32% considered it a "failure." (Link)

2. Yeah I just turned from their bullshit
Looking at where the DOW is on certain days and whether what Obama says that day has anything to do with it. And whether it is a result of his approval ratings. Never seen this bullshit with any other President. Unreal

4. CNN?
Didn't they used to be a news channel?

They broadcast wrestling now, don't they?

5. Sitting in a waiting room at a hospital I heard the TV at what seemed like full volume.
They were screaming at the top of their lungs about the "Scorecard" (Blitzer and the republican woman pundit Gloria something).

8. Yeah, but why don't they resurrect the Rapture Index? That's got the real story.

9. What Pisses Me Off The Most Is
that they are as focused on the dip in approval ratings now--WHEN PRESIDENT OBAMA IS STILL AT 57% OR HIGHER--as they were when George W. Beavis was languishing at 28% !

Un-freaking-believable. But par for the course in the media world since Reagan.
