[The forty fourth president of the United States]: Most polarizing president in history?

How about Franklin Pierce? Or Richard Nixon?

The Gallup Poll people delivered an interesting report today: [The forty fourth president of the United States] was the most polarizing first-year president in history.

Not Lincoln?

From Gallup.com. Source is here.

Obama's Approval Most Polarized for First-Year President

The article itself makes two points clear that the USA Today piece does not.

1. The interval under discussion is after World War II, and not the whole of American history.
2. The metrics under discussion are drawn from polling data. While these data provide important pieces of the picture, they do not give the entire portrait.

Then again, why bother checking facts and asking basic questions if you have a deadline to meet and a headline that is going to get people to click the hyperlink?

I saw this bit on Fox News this morning, http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010...erm-president/

Here's the entire story from ABC, http://abcnews.go.com/WN/Politics/pr...ory?id=9657337

"I'd rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president," Obama told ABC News Monday. "You know, there is a tendency in Washington to believe our job description, of elected officials, is to get re-elected. That's not our job description. Our job description is to solve problems and help people."

I'm not sure why feels the need to take pot shots at GWB all the time but I know I am sure tired of the excuses...
Quit making excuses and just DO THE WORK for Christ sake!







FWIW, I cannot stand Diane Sawyer(aka - Uber Liberal), she could be struck dead right this second and I wouldn't lose a second of sleep over it...

A really good one term president is an oxymoron.
