I must admit that there are lot’s of things that go on in the world that I simply don’t understand, many of them concerning politics, how and why people vote, and particularly the damage voters often do to themselves.
For example, I’m sure that anyone able to comprehend at the most basic of levels knew precisely who did the damage to this nation over the last six years. Four of them directly the fault of the incumbent and the preceding two by Democrats in Congress able to undermine Republican efforts regarding the economy, foreign affairs and immigration in particular. And yet, the incumbent was reelected anyway.
And now today I read the results of a recent McClatchy-Marist poll showing “Obama tumbling in voters eyes” according to Steven Thomma of McClatchy Newspapers on-line via Drudge.
The article begins, “If President Barack Obama had piled up political capital with his impressive re-election, it’s largely gone.
His approval rating has dropped to the lowest level in more than a year, with more voters now turning thumbs down on his performance than thumbs up, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll. The measure of how much people like him also has dropped.”

So, here we are three months into a second term where the winner is performing just as badly as in his first, people are unhappy and complaining about it, but my question is: Since there are no surprises here and the consistency of ineptitude is perfect, what exactly did these ignoramuses expect?
Along those lines I recently wrote an entry in which asked, tongue in cheek, how many Democrats it takes to screw in a lightbulb. But after reading today’s poll results and voters reactions, I’m now sure a couple of thousand of those airheads won’t be enough to figure it out.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
