Something Is Wrong

40 months without majority approval and a new record for disapproval, yet some of the media probably still think he's a good guy to have a beer with and that the blogosphere is shrill and scary and that it's all the dirty f-ing hippies fault because they were right about the war.

He is shockingly unpopular, and this is a reality that neither the Congress nor the media has quite figured out how to address. It's something of a crisis for our political system that the president has now spent over three years hated and mistrusted by the majority of the country, and yet has never felt the need to take steps to restore his legitimacy. Something is wrong.

Something is wrong. Understatement of the year.

What's wrong is that the media didn't want to address it (because it wasn't a Democrat), so they didn't.

All news is good for Republicans, even record "wrong track" and disapproval numbers! Even when Democrats are picking up House seats in super-red districts. But, but, Obama doesn't wear a flag pin on his lapel or American flag boxers and he "says" he's Christian, as far as we know, and, and he can't get working class white people to vote for him, even though he won Missouri and Wisconsin.
