BloggeRhythms 8/21/2011

This week's presidential poll shows an approval rating of 39%, clearly continuing a downward trend. His response to the results was that they reflect the public's displeasure with Congress. How he concluded that one is anyone's guess, but since he continually blames the nation's worsening condition on just about all fronts on George W. Bush, I guess we have to conclude the incumbent's responsible for absolutely nothing himself.

He also says that regardless of poll results, people's true opinions will be shown next November at the polls and that's where he'll really be measured, so all that's being assumed now about his status isn't important at all but purely political noise.

I, on the other hand, think that while poll results may indeed be slanted, the top one's do indicate trends and provide some measure of insight. However, as I mentioned in yesterday's entry, the world's modernized today to the extent that there are all kinds of tools available now that offer extremely valuable information in other forms and formats.

So, I believe that every dollar not spent or invested in our economy by major businesses is a no-confidence vote in and of itself, and at the moment these businesses are spending as little as possible in the U.S. while hoarding billions. Similarly, twenty-six states are trying to escape the horrendous burdens of the recent health care law, and everyone negatively affected by the legislation is another lost vote for the administration. Then there are the border states which are increasingly burdened by the cost of all the aspects of dealing with illegal aliens and whose populations will reflect their frustration at the polls.

Then there are those involved in small business whose livelihoods are further imperiled by regulation and taxation everywhere they turn. I believe they too will let their thoughts be known in the coming election. And I don't have to mention the unemployed at all because they're front page news all over the nation.

So, when all's said and done, maybe the president's right, folks will blame Congress for all the woes listed above, as well as the many more not mentioned. But, whatever happens in that regard will have no real effect on him, because whether any or all of them remain in office... he himself will be gone without doubt.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
