Midknight Review -- new and revised: Rasmussens 7 day Obama approval average

Rasmussens 7 day Obama approval average - highest in months

The past 7 days have seen approval scores of 48,47,46,47,47,47, and 45 for an average of 46.9 %.

That is the highest 7 day average in nearly a 9 months. Are people seeing Obama differently? Not really. What we have here is the end of a huge news cycle, ending with the midterm elections and the passing of the Lame Duck session. We expect to see a "bounce for Obama" during this lull. The new congress, the 112th, will be sworn in on January 20. The Lame Duck session is scheduled to end this week. With the new congress, Obama might be somewhat at an advantage, depending on whether he knows how to make use of the divided congressional scene. If he decides to continue ordering the GOP around and whining about Bush and working to dismantle constitutional freedoms, he may not survive the 2012 elections.

Lame Duck meets the week before Thanksgiving and the week following Thanksgiving. Of course the Senate leader (Reid) can extend the second week's session, but this is seldom done and only for an extra day or two. There is no talk of that happening now.

The Senate only meets. The House is done and waits for the swearing in of the new Reps come January 20th.

Let's return the favor, shall we?

CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
