When health care legislation is signed into law, Obama will get a big bump

[cali]

Why? It's a high profile "win". That's how the MSM will frame it. Anytime a president gets a high profile win, his numbers go up. Will they stay up? Probably not.

1. Not this time.

[Itchinjim]

2. Not here on DU,

he won't. Just saying.

[Kansas Wyatt]

3. The only bump he will get will be manufactured by the MSM.

[Vincardog]

11. Please change MSM to COM Corporate Owned Media

[texanwitch]

4. For a short time yes.

When nothing changes or gets worse for the majority of the people the bump will be gone.

The Democrats in Washington are playing games with peoples lives and health.

The Republicans will blame the Democrats in the press, it will stick.

This is what the Republicans want, to win in 2010.

5. Until people get their new bill in a few years

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

6. It will last until people realize what's in the bill. The gimic of having it

enacted in a few years down the road is clever. The major provisions won't kick in until after 2012.......

7. I hope so , all this bashing is totally unfair. Of course we didn't

get every thing we want. We would have gotten nothing or worse from Republicans.

[tekisui]

8. It will further expose the powerlessness of the repukes.

They are 100% against it. Even with conservaDems and Liberal Dems wavering, the repukes were unable to stop it.

9. once the people figure out what happened....

the house will be republican controlled after november of 2010.

[havocmom]

10. Doubt it. But he will get lots of $ for his campaign coffers

[Vinca]

12. If the bill isn't improved upon, he may get an initial bump since

a good portion of the population is too busy getting ready for the next season of "American Idol" and hasn't been paying attention. Wait until they get the "buy it or you're fined" memo.

[asdjrocky]

13. Because most people don't pay attention. nt
