The GOP And Reality

You hear this:

"The economy is so bad and so shaky, and the Obama vision has not worked at all. I think they're trying to get a culture war going here to divert attention. You know?"

And you read this from NBC:

Despite the country's struggling economy and vocal opposition to some of his policies, President Obama's favorability rating is at an all-time high. Two-thirds feel hopeful about his leadership and six in 10 approve of the job he's doing in the White House. "What is amazing here is how much political capital Obama has spent in the first six weeks," said Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, who conducted this survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff. "And against that, he stands at the end of this six weeks with as much or more capital in the bank." ...  In January’s NBC/Journal poll, 26 percent said the country was on the right track; now 41 percent think that.

Someone's out of it.
