The point was you can look at this stuff from a number of different perspectives. Obama is a bright guy and is letting Pelosi take the most of the heat while she seems content with the role of keeping the agenda left of center and consistent with traditional Dem values. Fair enough. I respect Obama for implementing the broad stroke philosophy he ran on.

pelosi? she has absolutely NOTHING to do with the issue.

Likewise, while there are too many variables to draw a real parallel it's still interesting to look at the last President that had a steady approval rating while his disapproval doubled also saw a Congress with low ratings passing a spending bill with zero Republican votes. If the midterm elections get Congress under new management it will be even more boom interesting.

uh, sure. whatever.
