It's official: Americans have now "forgotten 9/11." Obama is tied with Mittens in a new Post-ABC poll after losing his "bin Laden bounce," and voter focus has mysteriously switched back to the jobs crisis. Our national honeymoon with bin Laden's corpse is over (the sex was already sort of dropping off), and America is still married to the Kenyan Muslim Socialist black guy who is not very talented at helpful distractions. In the olden days, this would have meant it was time to start another war so that Americans could NEVER FORGET all over again.
From the Washington Post :
The survey portrays a broadly pessimistic mood in the country this spring as higher gasoline prices, sliding home values and a disappointing employment picture have raised fresh concerns about the pace of the economic recovery.
By 2 to 1, Americans say the country is pretty seriously on the wrong track, and nine in 10 continue to rate the economy in negative terms. Nearly six in 10 say the economy has not started to recover, regardless of what official statistics may say, and most of those who say it has improved rate the recovery as weak.
Obama is going to have to find someone to kill very soon. Could we suggestDick CheneyFrance? [ WaPo ]

"Why" you ask?? Gosh, I just have to say, I loved the way they portrayed you in Memento! Hope that's not insulting to your condition, but what the hell, you'll forget in about 2 minutes anyway.
You might not have an annotated polaroid, or tattoo reminding you how the Senate rejected Barry's original tax plan outright (which let the cuts expire for the Kochists), and also forgot how Repubs basically held hostage all the expiring stimulus support for the unemployed, in order to extend the cuts for another two years. In fact, you forgot that they were proposing making the cuts permanent. Also, you probably forgot that every Republican's and every news outlet's favorite sparkly political-group-named-after-balls-on-chin-activities acronym actually stood for "Taxed Enough Already."
He didn&#039;t continue the policies because they were <i>good.</i>
