I promise I will not spend the next 232 days - between now and election day - writing about how the mid-terms are going to turn out. You know my record for prognostication. It's dreadful. Nevertheless, here is what I Tweeted yesterday afternoon: @richgalen Gallup Obama Approval 3-day track = 39-55. One year ago was 50-43. Reason enough for Dems to worry. There is not much statistical difference……Going from a +7 (50-43) to a -16 (39-55) may be a numerical swing of 23 points, but it is a political swing of biblical proportions. On Sunday the number, indeed, crawled back to 40-54. We know that President Obama doesn't have much use for the U.S. Congress. He wasn't there very long, and while he was he didn't do much, and didn't make many friends. But, he got to be President of the United States and none of the 535 members of the House or Senate can say that. President Obama has used up his political capital. The cupboard is bare. His disdain for the Article I branch is exceeded only by his dislike of the Article III branch. While people thought he was at least trying to do the right thing they gave him the benefit of the doubt. But that benefit - like many health care benefits - have disappeared...... See more at......
