Which Politician Would You Most Like to Share a Beer With?

Matt Margolis

While I think Obama’s lame-ass attempt at damage control is inappropriate, I nonetheless am intrigued by this question, posed by FOX:

YOU DECIDE: If you could have a beer with any politician, living or dead, who would it be? Share your thoughts. Click on “Leave a Comment” below.

Now just to make things interesting, I want to know the answer to both, plus one other question.

Here are my answers:

1. If you could have a beer with any living politician, who would it be?

Answer: George W. Bush.

I think this is an easy one for people to understand. As most of you probably know, Blogs For Victory began as Blogs For Bush back in November 2003. I devoted a lot to helping his reelection in 2004, and that ultimately lead to be going to the 2004 Republican Convention, getting a book deal, and scores of things that began as a result of my blogging success. And, quite frankly, I greatly appreciate what he did for this country. I may not have always agreed with him, but I know he always did what he felt was the right thing to do. His leadership in the wake of the 9/11 attacks kept us safe. There is so much I’d love to talk to him about.

And, I know he doesn’t drink, but I would settle for coffee.

2. If you could have a beer with any dead politician, who would it be?

Answer: Ronald Reagan

I was born in 1980, so, there isn’t much I can really remember about Reagan’s presidency directly, but it is hard to deny the leadership he showed in the face of tough challenges. We all benefit today because of things he accomplished or set in motion.

3. What beer would you choose?

Answer: Dogfish Head 90-Minute IPA or Victory Brewing Company Golden Monkey

There’s not much that needs to be said here… Awesome brews from awesome breweries.

How about you? Feel free to explain.

Obama Poll Numbers Tanking

Matt Margolis

Gallup has Obama at a new low, and he’s lost 3-points just in the past week.

Amidst President Obama’s push in July to revamp the nation’s healthcare system, Gallup finds his average job approval rating registering 56% for the seven-day period ending Sunday, down from 59% the previous week. This three percentage point drop is the largest week-to-week decline seen in Obama’s job approval thus far in his presidency, and punctuates a gradual descent from his 66% rating in early May.

The trend is also seen in Rasmussen’s poll:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 28% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -12. That’s the lowest rating yet recorded for President Obama (see trends).

It’s nice to see Americans waking up to Obama’s partisanship and lack of leadership. He claimed to be a uniter, but has proven to be more divisive than any of his predecessors.

Just goes to show you that anyone can read off a teleprompter… but some people just aren’t cut out to be president. And Barack Obama has shown that he is really just an Illinois state senator playing a president on TV… and a really bad one at that.

Obama Slanders Police Officers

Matt Margolis

Last night, Barack Obama took a question regarding the incident at Harvard University involving black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr., who was seen byneighbors trying to force his way into his home and then initially refused to provide to responding officers who arrived on the scene in response. My thoughts on Obama’s irresponsible comments are posted here.

UPDATE, by Mark Noonan: We can all be pretty certain the the professor was an Obama voter, but given that Cambridge gave 40,876 votes to Obama and 4,697 votes to McCain, it is very likely that everyone involved voted for Obama…this is just a very stupid move by Obama, mindlessly playing the race card from the bottom of the deck when even a cursory examination would show the chances of race playing a role here are nil.

Top Five Things I'd Rather Do Than Watch An Obama Press Conference

Matt Margolis

I was preparing tomorrow’s lunch with the news on when the Obama press conference came on… I refuse to watch that pathological liar pretend to be a leader. Before I could even change the station he managed to blame Bush for the economy, then take credit for miraculously fixing it.

Screw that. Enough with the lies and bull s**t. I put on The Cosby Show instead.

Anyway, it got me thinking about things I’d rather do than watch that liar. Here are a few. Have any of your own you’d like to add?

Top Five Things I’d Rather Do Than Watch An Obama Press Conference

1. Wax my chest hair.
2. Spend a week at Gitmo.
3. Be waterboarded.
4. Give up coffee, wine, and red meat for a month.
5. Catch Swine Flu

    So how about you?
