Most folks have noticed a different kind of Barack Obama these days - and we like it. He's got sort of a, 'I don't give a shit about the non-compromising GOP - fuck 'em. I've got the veto power, and I
will use it. I've got nothin' to lose, and this country has
everything to gain. So, get out of my way, McConnell, you freakin' fruitcake. I've got real work to do.'
No, no, the President didn't/wouldn't say it like that, but it was fun going there in my head for a few seconds. It is apparent that Obama has a different swagger, and from the information Jason Easley at Politicus.com reports, the president is becoming more and more popular these days, much to the chagrin of Republicans in Congress:
According to the Gallup Daily Tracking poll, President Obama’s job approval rating is a net (+1) as 48% of Americans approve of the job that the president is doing while 47% disapprove. The most recent result is the first time since September 2013 that the president’s Gallup job approval rating has been higher than his disapproval rating. The president’s approval rating has been on a steady rise over the past month. It is clear that the perception of the president’s job performance is changing.

Yes, it would have been nice if this good news could have come out three months ago, right before midterms. But that's how the world turns. The GOP wishes the
the country's good economic news would have come out three months
after they came into session. That way, when they tried to take credit for the economy, they would have looked a little
less like the fools they continuously show themselves to be. Again, that's how the world turns. (But
McConnell was hilarious that day, yes?)
Easley adds:
Republicans, who were hoping for Obama fatigue before the 2016 election are getting the exact opposite, as the President has acted on his own to remind millions of people why they voted twice for him. Republicans may have taken the majority in Congress, but it is President Obama who is on the rise.
Ba-ROCKIN Obama is the House!
Yes, yes, I know. I'll tone it down. There is so much bad news, I'm all over the good news, when it comes to visit. Congratulations, President Obama, and thank you.
