Obama and McCain in a statistical tie - Los Angeles Times
More striking, however, is the drop in Obama’s favorable rating. It has slid from 59% to 48% since the June poll. At the same time, his negative rating has risen from 27% to 35%. The bulk of that shift stems from Republicans souring on Obama amid ferocious attacks on the Democrat by McCain and his allies.
Ferocious? Pointing out the obvious about Obama - his lack of experience, his naivete about the world we live in, his unsavory connections with all sorts of “hate-America-first” characters, the murkiness of his history - is “ferocious?”
Well, I guess if you’re a pussy being faced with something other than blind adoration based on your skin color and the fact that you are considered “nice,” it must seem ferocious.


From a sign by a desk at work: I’m not mean, you’re a sissy.
