Does that help?
Not actually.
We *elected* him for the precise purpose of showing leadership through the course of unf'ing the country through tough times.
Times when, yes, people are inclined to be discontented. If a country full of people who are in fact not yet in comfy-cushy space are basically half-approving of the Prez's job performance, when Dubya couldn't buy 25 percent with all the advertising in the world ..these numbers do not mean what Artesian is trying to spin them as meaning.
My only disapproval of Obama is him being way too conciliatory. Especially regarding promises to be a 'fierce advocate' for LBGT rights.
Even so, it's good to have a President again.
