Rangel: Health bill harder after Obama speech (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jlMpJGn28kqCcgU-aGcYE_ZHW-ywD9ANTUO00)

And, if you're watching polls, I think the bounce has already reverted to pre-speech lows.

Tsk...tsk...tsk.

Then, there's this...

Mitch McConnell Smiled? (http://www.newsweek.com/id/215301)


On the 233rd day of his presidency, Barack Obama grabbed the country's lapels for the 263rd time—that was, as of last Wednesday, the count of his speeches, press conferences, town halls, interviews, and other public remarks. His speech to Congress was the 122nd time he had publicly discussed health care. Just 14 hours would pass before the 123rd, on Thursday morning. His incessant talking cannot combat what it has caused: An increasing number of Americans do not believe that he believes what he says.

And this (http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/53997)...

The more President Obama chats up his health insurance plan, the less the public likes it.

“A Washington Post-ABC News poll conducted in the three days following President Barack Obama’s speech to Congress about his health care plan found that 54% say the more they hear about the plan, the less they like it,” CNS News reported.

How do you spell jumped the shark?

O-B-A-M-A.

Let's see if the bump in his approval follows does the same in the next few days.
