Which is completely perplexing. Pelosi is the worst speaker in recent yrs. Did you hear she wants to push another stimulus package? Completely unacceptible. 39% approval for congress and 62% for Obama according to today's #s.
Its interesting that because so many people like the president's charisma, the popularity of his party in congress has grown. When the dems took over congress in the 2006 elections, they suffered the lowest ratings for the last 2.5 yrs. Dems still control congress, the only variable that has changed is the president. A charismatic leader with fantastic presentation, marketing and control of the press. Bush was unpopular, largely because of his lack of charisma and inability to communicate effectively with the public. Most people don't understand what Obama is doing, only that he is convincing and commanding when he speaks.
