• Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Approval rating shows that 24% of American voters strongly approve of Barack Obama’s performance as president while 40% strongly disapprove, giving Barack Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –16, compared to –13 on this day last week.

• Overall, 46% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of Obama’s performance and 53% disapprove.

• Only 27% of voters believe that the country is generally heading in the right direction.

So what is going on with all of the odd events in the past week? Birds falling from the sky, fish floating belly-up, crabs washing ashore lifeless, and a neon green river? If you have any theories, by all means please comment. It is very eerie.

On a lighter note, I was extremely excited to see that Bill O’Reilly will be interviewing Barack Obama on February 6, preceding the Super Bowl. That ought to be very interesting and well worth viewing. You can bet your right to vote that that interview would not have been scheduled were it not for the voter turnout and results of the November 2 election. Obama is squirming and to accept an interview with his biggest critic is an extremely desperate measure for his dwindling and extremely desperate time.
