Sir;... If you want people to lynch Mr. Obama for the economy; why bother??? Do you think most republicans need an excuse to lynch a black man??? My guess is, that if all legal impediments to doing so were removed, the moral restraints would be a small matter... What do you think??? In consideration of the human condition as a constant through time and ages, I would say, that people like yourself, working for the greater ignorance and the spiritual poverty of mankind have the wind at their backs, and are pushing the matter down hill... When you seem so close to total success; do you need my cheer??? Forgive me, but I seem to have misplaced my encouragment...You will have to carry on without my moral support....Thanks....Sweeney

Polls in the first 100 days of ANY presidency are totally meaningless. Even talking about them is an exercise in stupidity. You can't change the results of the past election, and it is even more unlikely that polls will change the direction of policy.
One thing I can see is that polls seem to show that the "just Say No" Republicans are becoming less and less popular. Polls should alert them to the fact that they have to find new ideas. That is going to take time because Republicans seem locked firmly in the past of the 1980's an just don't get it that the public has moved on and will move farther and farther away from the ideas of the last century.
First, Republicans, now led by simpleton Rush Limbaugh, need to get over the results of the past election and their obvious jealousy that the Democrats beat the daylights out of them and look for new leadership. Bobby Jindal ain't it. Zero Charisma. Sarah Palin ain't it. Zero credibility. Best shot is the current Gov of Florida. Rob

I'm never disappointed by the bias and ignorance of your columns. However, I must say that the utterly illogical conclusion of this particular column has left me more frustrated and stunned than usual.

You quote a poll stating that 49% of the public supports the federal government's response to the economic crisis, and use this as the basis to say that less than half support the president's economic agenda. This leap of logic is either even more idiotic than your typical low standards, or purposely misleading and irresponsible of you. I fully support the president's economic agenda, but do not support how Congress has pushed it forward. Through the weakness of congressional Democrats, and the irresponsible and ignorant blind-faith party-line reaction of the obstructionist Republicans (coupled with their fans in the news media such as yourself), Obama's economic agenda has been watered down and distorted. The fact is that the government has not acted boldly enough.

But the truth of the matter is that governing towards public opinion polls is part of the problem in Washington. Most of the public is completely ignorant of current events, politics, and certainly global economics. People only repeat the BS lines that propagandists like you feed to them.
