A lot of Democrats are commissioning polls, and then not releasing the results. Probably because they’re seeing results like this:
Voters disapprove 55 – 40 percent of the way Obama is handling the economy and disapprove 55 – 40 percent of the way he is handling health care. By a narrow 42 – 39 percent margin voters trust Obama, rather than congressional Republicans to handle health care.
But they disapprove 53 – 39 percent of the federal health care overhaul that he recently signed into law.
So much for the “health-care bounce.” More like a splat.
I have always thought that Congress, which has the undoubted right to run the DC school system any way it wants to, should make that the shining example of how schools ought to operate. THEN we might listen when the Department of Education tells the rest of the country what to do. But for the moment I believe the DC school system is actually the worst in the US. Of course the Washington educrats still assert the right to tell the rest of the country what to do. Why not?
Most of the people I talk to who refuse to listen to Rush have never done so, and simply believe all of the “terrible” things they hear about him in the media. But I do think that the notion of changing their political beliefs is very frightening to many of them.
Thoughts from David Harsanyi. The less trust we have in government, particularly the federal government, the better off we’ll be, so the latest polls are good news for those of us who want to restore it to constitutional principles. Barack Obama, with all of his lies, is doing the nation a favor. As are those who repeat the lies in his service.

“I don’t promote government failure — I expect it.” It’s certainly the way to bet.
