[The Swamp] Obama's approval: 49 pct, new Gallup low: The Swamp: Or the obvious failure of the "stimulus." Or the 2000-page ReidCare Bill, to be voted on (with Obama's approval) before anyone can even read it. Or Obama's attitude that our soldiers "make a pretty good photo op." Or his dithering on Afghanistan.
