Seems To Me We Should Be Seeing The President's Poll Numbers Go Up..... [View all]

He's had a good week. The job numbers were great. I just read that Putin wishes Obama happy July 4th and calls for closer Russian-US ties. If things like this were happening to a Repub president - the MSM and fellow Repubs would be shouting this to everyone and their popularity would be through the roof.

But we're talking President Obama here and it seems like MSM wants to keep him down.

It's amazing to me what President Obama has been able to accomplish with his hands tied behind his back by Congress & the Repubs. We need to help the President along and talk him up. He deserves better than he's been getting.

It's unfortunate that this is a Holiday weekend and everyone is focused on themselves because the good job news goes by kind of silently and as a result - he can't really bask in that glory.
