Confusing Headline of the Day - And thoughts thereupon...

Obama Gets 30% of Americans Certain to Support Re-Election in Economy Poll

I'm a little amused in the wording of this, but I've been into the Kill-Devil so I'll need to re-read it later...
But from the article:

By a margin of 61 percent to 37 percent, a Bloomberg National Poll conducted June 17-20 shows Americans say they believe that Obama will have had his chance to make the economy “substantially better” by the end of 2012.

Only 30 percent of respondents said they are certain to vote for the president and 36 percent said they definitely won’t. Among likely independent voters, only 23 percent said they will back his re-election, while 36 percent said they definitely will look for another candidate.

Lies, damn lies and statistics-

30% of whom? Yeah, they asked a buncha people, but how many will actually vote?
Voter apathy is the biggest disappointment I have the the American People in general.

Something else:
I'm getting wary of labels. Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Conservative...
As a rule, when I espouse my mostly conservative views, I get lumped in the all everything to the right of center... Which really ain't me.
Apparently "Not an ardent Obama supporter" is semantically equal to "Rabid Glen Beck-Rush Limbaugh-Fox News-Teabag-Racist-Motherfucker"...

Obviously, if you think President Obama is fucking things up, and that from a world economics standpoint that he doesn't have the brains God gave an ice cube, then you are just another tool of Big Business, a fool doing the bidding of the fat-cat capitalists.

From the other side of the fence, I know I look at anyone that still has a Obama/Biden '08 sticker on their car as a lazy, uneducated, give-me-something-for-nothing, spread-YOUR-wealth, class-envying dipstick with an entitlement mentality and no ability to look beyond their next unemployment/disability/welfare(or whatever they're calling it these days) check idiot.

Obviously they never read the fine print on the bumper sticker...
YES WE CAN
fuck up the USA so bad it will be indistinguishable from a third-world shithole like Egypt.

When the average Obama voter/supprter doesn't know that the jobless rate in the US is 9.1%, (but is more like 11% or 12% and they don't understand the difference) but they can tell me the minutiae in the Casey Anthony trial forensics, or an in-depth bio on one of the American Idol Idiot, then I begin to worry that polls mean absolutely nothing, and that clueless idiots will continue to drink the kool-aid and will probably re-elect the Smartest, Coolest, No-President-Has-Ever-Had-To-Make A-Harder-Decision, Never-Takes-a-Day-Off, TelePromter Jesus.
Koeschi help us.

XiaoJie! More rum! Xiang xianjiu!

MaShang!

Hang in the kids, more free ice cream later.
