I was listening to the Rush Limbaugh show last week and some guy was in for
him. He was going on about how Obama's approval rating is headed down. He
said that maybe some of his supporters have gotten their heads straight.

I don't think that is the case. While I'm sure a lot of people are jumping
off the Obama bandwagon, a lot of his supporters are not happy with him
because he seems to be taking a moderate stance. He's watered down a lot of
the rhetoric from the election.

Probably a lot of people that jumped on the bandwagon because of his
popularity are jumping off and a lot of the very left leaning supporters are
let down and not happy with his performance.

I'm not so sure that there is anyone in Washington that has any common
sense. I have no idea if this link has accurate data, but if it is, I'd say
Congress is in for some changes:
