That is better than Reagan's dismal 33% approval

I don't remember Reagan's polling numbers but I don't remember them
being that low. However, Reagan was a conservative leading a center
right government. Obama is a liberal leading a center right country.





"As economic hardship hit American homes, Reagan's approval
rating hit rock bottom. In January 1983, it was estimated
at a dismal 35 percent."

So why are Obama's poll numbers an issue to people who
revere Reagan when his were even lower?




The party of tax scofflaws like McCain and Palin and
Joe the Plumber is complaining about others owing taxes?


As opposed to the Democrats who have been tax cheats and tax avoiders?



So both sides have tax cheats and tax avoiders. What's
your point?




Palin Ordered To Pay Back Taxes
February 18, 2009 (AP)

Alaska officials on Wednesday ruled that Alaska governor
and former GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin must
pay back taxes to the IRS. The exact amount the governor
must pay is not yet known, but the Associated Press
estimates she owes taxes on more than $17,000 in per-diem
expenses.
