Da Nile isn’t a river in Egypt. It’s part of a mass Republican hallucination. On a related note, a lot of people don’t realize that the president’s approval numbers are heavily impacted by what progressive Democrats think about him. Just like a lot of the people who express disapproval of ObamaCare are more in favor of actual socialized medicine, when the president was talking about bombing Syria his numbers tanked because his most ardent supporters were disillusioned. Now that he’s taking a tough stand against the Teahadists, his numbers have jumped five points even in a Fox News poll.
But nothing makes a president look better than taking a strong stand and winning, and that made people quickly forgive the Syria madness. It will also bolster Obama’s numbers with his base and with all sane people after this current crisis is resolved completely in his favor.
