CBS… Might as well use a DailyKos poll.

“The word bipartisan means some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.” – George Carlin

I don’t believe this poll, CBS over sampled the Democrats and independents, and didn’t do enough of t/ps.

I’m sure most people want to be optimistic and support a president at the moment. Wouldn’t someone have to deliver a really atrocious State of the Union performance to not receive high marks from the American people?

Actually, this isn’t a surprise.

President Obama’s approval ratings have risen sharply of late. He gave an optimistic speech (unlike the gloom and doom responses). The speech was thin on substance, as all SOU’s are, so there isn’t much with which to disagree. Of course, there was wide-spread approval.

And, other polls have reached similar results.

This is an old, tired canard which does not advance meaningful discussion.

I’m sure you stuck your finger right in it. And, what of the members of the Sarah Palin Book Klub? What percentage of them were sampled?

An online poll? Really Colby? You are stretching for some good news after last night.

Now I think i will trust the focus group I watched of a mix of Obama and McCain voters. Of the 13 that voted for BO, a whopping 7 would vote to re-elect. But I can see why you’d want to focus on the online poll and not that.

Wow Royal Pain in the Butt, you’re ridiculing fellow libs now! At this rate NO ONE will like you!

So approximately 54% would vote to reelect Obama? I think he’d be perfectly happy receiving 54% of the vote in the next election.

A poll on CBS? CBS is another left wing propaganda outlet, so why should we be surprised?

Colby,

This is not Obama’s third State of the Union address. This is Obama’s second State of the Union address.

Yes Paul, but that 54% are his base. That didn’t include anyone else. You don’t think that is troubling for him?

At this point, no. And 13 voters is not a very large sample. I wouldn’t put any more stock in that than a snap poll of last night’s performance rating.

And Colby you’ve got threads for Obama AND Backmann but nothing for Future President Ryan. Whatup Bro!!

No worries, I’d be scared of you too.

I think it wasn’t easy to get their opinion since Sarah hates the lamestream media.

Because the response was terrible. That is why Michele from Minnesota had more buzz.

Fair enough, Paul. The only poll that matters is on election day and the rest just serve to make us brawl.

That’s why the cash flow is coming in easily for him. He’s conned them and they are happy to be conned by him day in day out, hoarding golds, wretched/phony University, all of these crap he sells and they are just happy to buy it.

That might be Michelle in Utah’s nickname for Michelle from Minnesota. I like it, Backmann (backward in thinking) or cave man.

You’ll have to forgive me. In deference to you, I refrain from certain humorous topics which have everyone outside of Utah rolling in the aisles.

Yep. And the President’s job is to inspire hope and a positive outlook. He did that. And no shoutdowns this time.

The good news about last night’s speeches is:

#1
No one can talk about teleprompters anymore. Sure, our President has relied on them a bit heavily, but after the Ryan and Mad Michelle “performances”, that ceases to humorous.

#2
No one can talk about overuse of make-up by elected officials. Mad Michelle shamed even Sarah Palin. Did anyone actually even see her eyes last night? How did she manage to keep them open?

#3
No one can talk about big ears not pressed against heads. Wow! Did you see Ryan’s ears?

So, even if we didn’t get much substance, we cleared the table of several distractions.

LOL.

Royal Pain in the Butt, funny that you can only ridicule Bachmann’s eyes and Ryan’s ears. You have nothing of substance to offer, per usual. You are a shallow, petty manchild.

Guess again, Kook.

After that performance Boner and the republicans are trying to figure out a way to keep next year’s SOTU from being televised. Obama kicked their asses just like he did at 2009′s Repubilcan conference, the one they wouldn’t televise this year.

Put the spiked Kool-aid down, Bill. Even the liberal commentators I listened to didn’t think that.

Just a few examples Bill, from liberal cheerleader, Andrea MItchell:

ANDREA MITCHELL: As much as I like civility and don’t want to be the person sitting here and saying, oh, let’s have a racuous State of the Union–you certainly don’t want a ‘you lie!’ moment–but it did lack energy. It lacked passion.

MITCHELL: The problem that I have with it is the flip side of that: which is, that it doesn’t add up. That the dollars and cents don’t add up. And when you fact-check it, when he’s talking about increasing our exports, he’s really recycling something that he said last year. When he talks –

MITCHELL: It’s important, but it’s not a new way to do it. He’s not explaining how to do it, how is that going to happen, nor is he explaining how he’s going to take away the subsidies from the oil companies. That’s something that he also proposed in the past. There’s no path from A to B.

personally, i thought he proved his superiority sans teleprompter last year at the house republican retreat which even embarrassed fox news enough to have them cut away from live feed.
of course that wasn’t enough for his detractors so he just threw in that speech in arizona for good measure, but i agree with you that the dependence of ryan, bachmann, and palin on a teleprompter (not to mention, notes on a hand) should make obama immune to any further criticism.

Interesting internals, they offer a caveat:

As often is the case, those who watch the speech were more likely to be from the President’s party

No mention of likely voters or registered voters, just adult members of households that….”said in recent days they intended to watch the speech.” 659 of them, MOE, 4 points. Party break down of the adults that “said in recent days…”:

44% Democrats
25% Republicans
31% Independents

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/01/26/politics/main7284238.shtml?tag=contentMain;contentBody

They managed to find 10% more Democrats than this country has for this poll. 2% less Republicans and 8% less Independents.

That Hopenchange is powerful stuff, isn’t it?

Intoxicating even, Pablo.

Has there really been that much variation in a State of the Union address in recent years? Of course each president has an agenda to push, but don’t they generally go heavy on generalities and light on specifics and try to rally the American people with a lot of hope and optimism?

Oh,, c’mon – he had Boner on the verge of tears – again. He had ‘em laughing, he didn’t step in shit (a moment in memory of Goober W.’s smelly shoes), he stole Republican thunder repeatedly and totally blunted any barbs coming from ballooon head Bachmann and would be GOP star Ryan. All in all, a performance to shut down the right.

Paul Ryan was GREAT Bill? Did you even watch his speech or were you just basking in the glory that is The One?

Pablo said:

I call bullshit! The president did not use the teleprompter to make a speech to the kids, that’s a lie and you know it.

Why is it so hard for conservatives to believe that the public actually responded well to the President’s speech? Is it because it tears asunder their world view and sends the sanctuary of their own ignorance crashing down around them? It looks that way!!!!!

For those criticizing Bachmann for looking off camera, it was because she was speaking to another camera and FOX had their camera set up to the right of it. While you may not like the person, at least get your facts before passing judgement.

King, we’re on the same page. The girls and I were talking about it at the salon today. Bruce compared her makeup to that of a South American street walker, but Lance was infuriated that we’d been distracted from the topic of Brisket Palin’s thighs.
