Maybe He's Made of Teflon

If last week was the president's worst week in office the polls show absolutely no indication of it. Perhaps that is because the president isn't supposed to interfere in criminal investigations or direct the IRS's decision-making process on tax-exempt applications. CNN seems somewhat baffled by the results of their polling, which join Gallup in showing a slight uptick in the president's numbers. But it shouldn't be that surprising. A majority of the people reelected the president and all they've seen since is stupid opposition and stupid reporting.

If this is the worst the media and the Republicans can do, perhaps last week was their worst week of this presidency?

How much money was pissed away to no effect trying to un-elect Obama, take back the Senate, and own the House? And what happened?

But they have nothing else, so it goes on.
