Broad Support for the President

(Community Matters) Sixty percent of Americans approve of how BHO is handling the presidency, and 6 in 10 Republicans believe he’s tried to work with Republicans.  

Reading Rep Lamar Smith’s and John Carter’s AAS letter to the editor on Sunday, I just shook my head.  They cited an outlier poll (Rasmussen) as evidence that Americans don’t support the president – all while they knew full well this was an outlier poll and that three other national polls showed overwhelming support, even among 40% of Republicans.
Rep. Mike McCaul’s 2/15 guest editorial was no better.  McCaul hasn’t lifted a finger for average taxpayers during his time in Congress, instead exhibiting blind support for Bush’s reckless deficit spending & deregulation. 
Americans outside the beltway know who has their interests at heart and know who isn’t responsible for the economic threats currently facing us.  It’s not too late for Republican members of Congress to join our president in addressing these threats rather than showboating and posturing.  Regrettably, some members of Congress have lost their way & show more allegiance to party than to country – and this isn’t limited to one side of the aisle.
