And my guess is…not many Conservatives have voted…it’s CNN after all!

The “Big Tent” analogy isn’t the correct one…the correct one is a MAGNET…we need to be a MAGNET that draws these independents in who are sick and tired of what’s going on in Washington—Fred Thompson

When the highest grade on the map is a C-, the obvious thing to say to President Obama is, “You’re going about this the wrong way.”

Furthermore, California’s breakdown (Cali-freaking-fornia!) looked like this:

Healthcare reform: yer doin’ it wrong.

There is a question about the Republican leadership…but not the Democratic Leadership. With that in mind I think CNN is trying to push the idea that the Republicans are still in control. I would bet that the peoples anger is not truly with the Republican minority, which is statistically incapable of stopping any piece of legislation.

So the only conclusion I can come to is that the people are really disappointed with Pelosi and Reid and somehow, thanks to partisan hacks such as CNN, are infact Republicans. If that is the case I think Q8 is accurate.

Question: Grade the performance of the media.

Results so far: Straight Ds.

“Never let a serious crisis go to waste,” Rahm Emanuel remarked last fall. But in a crisis, all the public tends to care about are jobs and economic growth. It’s not the ideal time to pass costly social legislation that promises to reap dividends only in the long term, if at all.

That’s why Franklin Roosevelt waited until 1935, when the Great Depression seemed to be waning, to push Social Security through Congress. It’s why Lyndon Johnson established Medicare at the peak of the long post-World War II expansion. And it’s why Massachusetts’s health care plan and California’s cap on greenhouse-gas emissions both passed at the height of the recent boom, rather than the bottom.

Obama is still broadly popular, and the public is still broadly sympathetic to his administration’s agenda. But the money has to come from somewhere. You can’t have a bold new liberal era without the growth to pay for it.

The president wants to govern America like a blue state. But for that to work, he’ll need the nation’s economy to start performing more like Texas.
