The economy is doing well but it is not helping the President as the aftermath of the war in Afghanistan is hurting him badly as well as the constant reminder of the way the Administration passed the health care bill which was not supported by the majority of people.
As of February 9, 2010, 63% of Americans support health care reform...
I don't think this is a hack (aren't you a democrat?), but it sure seems it. Romney would
never lead in the polls against Obama if the economy is doing well and health care is passed. Besides, no one in the US likes Karzai anyways. I'd be a good day in Afghanistan if he was out of office.
