As Steve noted in GMN, President Obama approval ratings are nearly at 50 percent. Here he is yesterday calling out the Republicans for voting to increase taxes of everyday Americans:



Note the moment at 4:15, when he tells Republicans to be more like the men and women of the military and work together to do what’s right. That’s some awesome old-school presidential shit, right there.

  1. I don’t trust the dude, he gives this speech right after declaring “victory” in Iraq and giving a speech that Bush W would have been proud of. A war that cost how many hundreds of thousands of lives?

    Obama can flip this on being presidential when he wants, that doesn’t mean to be on “his side” against whenever he shifts his rhetoric a bit. This is just a DC game of chicken, nothing more.

    Also, LIHEAP remains gutted, remember that as winter gets even colder.
