The most recent polls show that President Obama is dropping in the polls since his speech last Wednesday. They actually pinpoint the speech last Wednesday as the reason for his drop in the polls? Why?
Because his speech challenged the direction they want the country to go. They want to end Medicare. They want to privatize Social Security. They want to continue the Bush taxcuts for the wealthy. They want to continue the contracts for the military industrial complex. The President's words challenged this status quo.
It is unfortunate that so many politicians follow the polls so religiously. My hope is that the President and the Democrats will ignore them. Instead of giving credibility to these polls, Democrats should look at them as credible proof that they are on the right track. These polls should be ignored.
