But the President is clearly running against congress. One of the major points in the SOTU was either pass bills I want or I will not stand for it.<br /><br />As to the President's record, my point is that there are two point of view on it. His supporters believe that health care and all the regulation that has been added has been a step forward. National polling on the health care bill suggests that the American voter is not convinced. Ditto on the size of government.<br /><br />His saving grace will be two things. First, the GOP seems tone deaf on many issues. Second, there is some evidence (the GDP numbers yesterday) that the economy is beginning to pick up steam. <br /><br />My key point here is that a) there are a lot of turns in this election - it is far from being decided and b) the dems should not get over-confident - that 20% can be nasty.drtaxsactohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607564542286089496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9734410.post-50183648477849780952012-01-26T23:06:11.254-08:002012-01-26T23:06:11.254-08:00I agree that he may not be harry truman.

He will run on his own merits which are good despite what you might infer. GOP does not stand a chance here. I have confidence in your 20 per cent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
