Obama defies gravity which allows him to walk all over the Constitution without leaving any tracks
Check out the reportage spin in the opening paragraphs of MSNBC’s story on their latest presidential approval poll:
For much of his first year in office, President Barack Obama has largely defied political gravity in the midst of skyrocketing unemployment, an ambitious legislative agenda and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
His approval rating remained above 50 percent, a plurality viewed his party positively, and even the number believing the country was on the right track — despite the bad news — temporarily spiked during his first few months on the job.
But now nearing the end of his first year in office, the economy, the wars and the legislative skirmishes finally have taken a toll on the president and his party, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
For the first time, Obama’s overall job approval rating has fallen below 50 percent (to 47 percent). In addition, for the first time since Sept. 2007, a plurality (45 percent) sees the Democratic Party in a negative light. And the percentage believing the country is on the wrong track (55 percent) is at its highest level in the Obama presidency.
Pardon us for asking an inconvenient question, but on what planet has “Obama has largely defied political gravity”? It was just reported last week that this guy has plunged in popularity faster than any president in history.
MSNBC and Barack Obama are a perfect team. One defines gravity and the other denies reality.

It is almost as if I am supposed to feel sorry that his numbers went down or something.
