When surveyed whether Obama had raised or lowered taxes, less than 10% respond that Obama has lowered their federal taxes. And yet, since entering office, Obama lowered taxes for over 90% of the population. Making this even more ironic, those tax cuts were part of the stimulus bill, a bill which right-wingers routinely attack while […]
Some recent polls: From Public Policy Polling: Even though only 4% of Republican voters support building a mosque 2 blocks from ground zero, 21% of them say they would support building a strip club in the same place.

Tina Dupuy has an excellent article entitled “The Enthusiasm Gap or He’s Just a President” that speaks to one of my pet peeves. It is bad enough that the right-wing is (semi-successfully) painting Obama as a socialist, fascist, foreign-born, Muslim sleeper agent.

The poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, reveals that 23 percent of those surveyed “strongly agreed” […]
UPDATE: Dennis Kucinich compares the Iraq “exit” to Bush’s “mission accomplished”.
The recent poll results that nearly one in five Americans believe (incorrectly) that Obama is a Muslim is just more evidence that a small but significant percent of Americans will believe just about any cockamamie story. Of course, it doesn’t help when you have people like Rev. Franklin Graham (son of Billy Graham) spouting nonsense […]
