It's Only Puppy Love

In poll after poll, when asked about Obama's handling of specific issues, the respondents typically give this President very low marks.  For, example, only about 25% believe he's doing a good job on the economy.  Generally only about 25% believe he's taking the country in the right direction.  A little more than a third approve of his handling of Iran.  And, only 40% agree with the passage of Obama's signature legislation: ObamaCare.  Yet, when asked that bottom line question on overall job approval, nearly 50% approve of him.

This makes absolutely no sense.  It's irrational to believe that so many dislike what this President is doing on so many fronts and, then, still conclude that they approve of the job he's doing.  Its as if they aren't listening to what they, themselves, are saying. My only explanation for this kind of behavior is that we have a bunch of supposed adults in this country who are all caught up in a bad case of puppy love; silly as it that may seem.
