Serious Question

With news that the Obamas will be visiting the White House today, I wonder if Michelle will bring a tape measure to, you know, measure the drapes?

The heck with the redecorating speculation…wouldn’t you just love to hear the conversation during the ride home afterwards today?

I wonder if Laura is going to give her pointers on all of the best sedatives to take to keep that Stepford smile all fresh and shiny.

    I don’t know…but I was struck by how fresh and energetic Michelle looked when they were shaking hands, and how faded and tired Laura was. Even their dresses mirrored that. Michelle’s was a lively bright red and Laura’s looked like a burlap sack, died with ox blood.

On the day that President-elect Barack Obama is visiting the White House, a new national poll suggests that the current occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is the most unpopular president since approval ratings were first sought more than six decades ago.

Seventy-six percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday disapprove of how President Bush is handling his job.

That’s an all-time high in CNN polling and in Gallup polling dating back to World War II.

“No other president’s disapproval rating has gone higher than 70 percent. Bush has managed to do that three times so far this year,” says CNN polling director Keating Holland. “That means that Bush is now more unpopular than Richard Nixon was when he resigned from office during Watergate with a 66 percent disapproval rating.”

To hell with waiting for the drapes. Just hand Bush his eviction notice, change the door locks, hang some blankets up to cover the windows and get going with erasing as much as possible of the disastrous eight years courtesy of the Worst President Ever.

Senate race in Minnesota – From tight to tighter: Franken now just 204 votes behind

The difference between Coleman and Franken, which stood at 725 votes in Coleman’s favor Wednesday morning, has changed several times since then as county officials have checked results and sent the adjusted figures to the state. For the most part, the margin between the two has narrowed with each change.
