I did a Poll...

Republicans, Special Interest Groups and the National Media working in concert, have always been able to game the system and the American People in general. It's happening again, the New York Times ran a headline yesterday, stating the American people have no confidence in President Obama's handling of the economy. Now this headline is on top of the masthead screaming, no confidence for our newly elected President. But when you read the story under the headline, 57% of the people say they have full confidence and like 20% say-they-somewhat have confidence in his handling of the economy's.

What gives, that's 77% of the people polled, who are still behind the President's plans . But the Times runs a sensational headline, to readers of -'headlines' to think the exact opposite. The man's been in office 5 month's. A few month's back all I heard was that this mess was going to take a long time to fix. Now 5 months into the President agenda, these I-guess-you-would-call them media types come out with these polls micro-managing every fly swat of the Presidents- Presidency.


I did a poll today of myself, my wife and our dog (with a margin of 3% +/-) and were 100% for giving the President a couple of years to sort this mess out. People have to understand that the man has a lot of plates in the air and the American economy is like a Aircraft Carrier, it doesn't turn on a dime.

Personally, I'm glad it's taking a long time, just like all the experts and pundits said it would. It makes people change bad habits and start new ones. If there was no pain during this recession, people would be quickly, back to their charging and borrowing ways. It's not healthy for a civilization to be leveraged like Americans are. We need to chill.

Gardening tip: If your a fan of African Violets this ones for you. If you want to propagate and make new baby african violets just bury one of the leaves with about a inch of the petiole (stem)connected to the leaf. Keep your leaf and stem moist but not wet and after a few days, you should start growig and new plant for you.
