Bill O’Reilly “doesn’t want to go on lynching party” against Michelle Obama (yet)

This is from Media Matters

I don’t want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there’s evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the woman really feels. If that’s how she really feels — that America is a bad country or a flawed nation, whatever — then that’s legit. We’ll track it down

So we need to lynch anyone who says America is “flawed”

Bush is Not Liked Very Much

…according to the latest polls, his approval rating is a dismal 19%

Among all Americans, 19% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 77% disapprove. When it comes to Bush’s handling of the economy, 14% approve and 79% disapprove.

Why would people not like him? Let’s count… A mismanaged and expensive war, justifying torture, secrecy, contempt for everyone that disagrees with him and multilateralism. Add, the value of homes dropping 20%, gas at $3/gallon, and on and on.

Hard to imagine why he is not liked

An interesting article by David Kurtz, who basically says that the Democrat race is Obama’s to lose

First, despite polls showing a relatively close race, Obama looks likely to have a final winning margin in the double digits. In other words, not close at all. It’s one thing to endure a month of losing, as the Hillary camp has steeled itself for, it’s quite another to hold on through a series of landslide defeats, which is what they’re facing now.

The other thing that doesn’t bode well for her is that the electorate isn’t remaining static. It’s moving, and the exit polls suggest it’s moving toward Obama. Last week, Obama made gains among white voters and women in Virginia and Maryland. Today, the exit polls show him eroding her core constituencies further: he almost won among women and won among middle-aged voters, among lower-income voters, and among union households.
