At last President Obama has fallen to earth, as far as his poll numbers go at least. Today he is 48-51 on Rasmussen, and low on all others--Zogby, etc.
What can he do to offset this? What can he do to make himself popular again?
Can he do anything? I've tried to think of anything, and am coming up pretty blank. Because I am not looking for anything that costs money. No enhancing the deficit, in other words. He overspent and probably is burning out the printing press at the Mint.
So no big giveaway programs, no new entitlement, any preferential treatment to one group pushes another group away from the love for Obama.
Unpopularity is something he is completely unfamiliar with and I think he is not comfortable. He prefers the love and popularity, and even the adulation of the masses.
He's getting into Carter troubles early in his term, his "first term." He already referenced his second term in his "state of the union" type speech before both houses of Congress.
Hubris is what he has in abundance, so he may have a far way to fall still.
