As Abraham Lincoln explained: “You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time.”
Polls show that “generic Republican” would easily beat President Obama in the 2012 presidential election, but Republicans have to run a particular person and therefore they need to tell America the real truth about President Obama instead of do what Senator John McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential candidate, did at the Al Smith dinner in 2008–say that Obama is a fine young man.
President Obama’s personal approval rating is his ace in the hole and a reason that, policy notwithstanding, President Obama could beat, say, the twice-divorced former Speaker Newt Gingrich, who left the House of Representatives after being censured.
As Americans learned what presidential candidate Barack Obama had meant by “change,” President Obama’s job approval rating predictably plummeted.
America remains a center-right country and Obama’s “fundamental change” is not what most American want.
But President Obama’s personal approval rating remains high.
Why?
NOT because he’s really a great guy who doesn’t lie to the voters!
