Obama and Bush in a dead heat.

A new poll as come out showing that when people are given a choice between Obama and Bush Obama only comes out with 50% of the vote. Bush actually gets 44%. I guess the other 6% were stoned. Now while this technically means Obama is still more popular than bush you have to remember that when President Bush left office his approval ratings were below 30%. I figure in about six more months Bush will be leading in this hypothetical matchup.

Obama has shown over and over again he is not a strong leader. From taken way too long on his decision on Afghanistan, to being all over the place on the public option and healthcare. If Obama wants to survive the midterms he is going to have to find his backbone if he ever had one to begin with.

I'm Engaged

Just thought I'd let everyone know that on Thanksgiving Day I proposed to my girlfriend and for reasons defying explanation she said yes. We are planning on getting married in Feburary or thereabouts. I hope everyone is doing well. Merry Christmas!

P.S. Sorry I can't seem to get to this blog as much as I would like to. I don't have internet access at home. Hopefully this will change and I'll be back to blogging soon.
