Reply #87: Sorry if the numbers don't agree with me.

Thanks for the links. Polls measure what polls measure. If the numbers show that most Americans think the economy is the main problem facing the country, that must be right and I am wrong. My sincere apologies. Oh, please notice the variations among the different polls on that website and the numbers you, er, selected.

Here's some anecdotal evidence for you to chew on: Ask married people what they worry most about, and they will say it's their kids' safety and well-being. The economy, of course, plays a large part in that. An even bigger part is played by national security. That's why the President is supposed to be Commander-in-Chief: to protect America from invasion by foreign enemies and the treason of domestic enemies. That's not my almighty position, that's what the Constitution says.
