New Politico poll says 64 percent of post-Americans feel the country is out of control.
Telling internals. 84 percent of voters feel that ISIS is a serious threat. 57 percent anticipate an increase in their health care costs. Only 22 percent have confidence in the government to deal competently with Ebola.
The stat concerning the Most Equal Comrade is a milestone in post-American public opinion:
Voters in the midterm battleground states are evenly split on whether President Barack Obama or George W. Bush was more effective at managing the federal government. Thirty-eighty percent named Bush, while 35 percent preferred Obama. A quarter of respondents said the two men were equally competent.
Can you say "underwater?"
Okay, let's do a little piling on. Here's former Daily Beast editor Tina Brown on MSNBC reflecting on how the MEC contributes to the fizzling of the Freedom-Haters' advantage with women:
“The fact is that Obama’s down with everybody; let’s face it. And I think that particularly for women, I don’t think he makes them feel safe. I think they’re feeling unsafe. They feel unsafe economically. They’re feeling unsafe with regard to ISIS. They’re feeling unsafe about Ebola. What they feel unsafe about is the government response to different crises.I think that they’re beginning to feel a bit that Obama’s like that guy in the corner office, you know, who’s too cool for school, calls a meeting, says this has to change, doesn’t put anything in place to make sure it does change, then it goes wrong and he’s blaming everybody. So there’s a slight sense of that.”
The bloom would seem to be off the rose.
Memo to the post-American voting public: Let's learn from our mistakes.
Aww, ho f yourself with this post America crap. You do realize we're all fired up to get crackin' again at Sand Nig, ver. 3.2. That ultamately did wonders for Cheney & Co's ratings.
ReplyDeleteIt's not me, at least not by myself. The point of this post is that the people of this country sense that it's a very different place than it was a few short years ago, a very imperiled place, a place that is coming off the rails.
ReplyDeleteAnd I still for the life of me don't see what you like about ISIS beheading and crucifying its way through the towns of Syria and Iraq, selling the women into slavery, beheading US citizens and Brits, threatening US cities.
I see it as a continuum nothing really new, kind of the Cassius Clays of the radical Islamists. Be my guest, Tiger, go gettum.
ReplyDeleteCan't you see you are playing right into their hands?
