As if they read my blog…

ABC news reported that the Republicans in Congress were at an all time low of 29% approval, while Obama was now at an all time high of 49% approval.

They mentioned that it was because Republicans were stonewalling on this tax break issue.

Then they went on to report about how important the tax break was that the Republicans were uncooperative about.

Get it  Obama is the victim, the republicans are the villains.

Troublesome indeed since the only news some people are exposed to are from this news channel.  Consequently, the only thing they’ll believe, is that Obama is trying to pass this payroll tax cut but the republicans wont let him.

Get the idea?

As Paul Harvey once quipped, “here’s the rest of the story.”

First, lets debunk the “Obama;’s all time high poll numbers:  Here’s an except from Real Politics. com

And now lets see how the Democrats in Congress did – a minor detail ABC news forgot to mention:

Gee – looks like Democrats are at 27% approval while republicans are at 29%.

And finally, the real reason the Republicans are giving push-back to Democrats on this tax break:

It seems Boehner is trying to get Congress to do more than a 2 month extension – he wants Congress to actually make a decision and do the people’s work.

Incidentally, that’s what I want too.

And I admit to bias in this article.
