Guess again? Are you kidding? Guess again? Ok ok, how about this, I'll fix it for you using your approval percentage of 68%, seven (whole) points less than my guess.
"Obama's popularity in the US is (68% according to CTA_Busa_LE.) Our main 'world adversary' if you will, are mostly members of the Muslim community, not Americans. Who else should he talk to right away, 26 million protestants? His decision to talk there first, also coincided with the intro of his special envoy.
So, my point is still made, what do you have to say that's more to the point???? I mean, over 4,000 American soldiers have already died right? Dealing with the Islamic world powers ASAP seems to me, to be the smartest thing he could do.
And how about adding the part of that poll that you left out?
"According to Politico, just a week ago, Gallup found an astonishing 83 percent approval of how he has handled his transition, showing he had even won over most Republicans"
EIGHT THREE PERCENT! Not too shabbly huh? And how about a comparison here?
"Gallup's initial job approval ratings were President John F. Kennedy, 72 percent; Dwight Eisenhower, 68 percent; Jimmy Carter, 66 percent; Richard Nixon, 59 percent; Bill Clinton, 58percent; George W. Bush, 57 percent; and Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, 51 percent."
If a new president came into office during WWII would you (not) want him to deal swiftly and directly with the powers of Germany, Japan and Italy?
