If Business Insider invited you to be a contributor on their new Politics page, then that's all I need to know to rest assured that BI is good place to be. Here's hoping the compensation package beats what HP has to offer!

I'm not too familiar with the site and so I did give it the ole Biden test and, at first glance, it seems to have passed. :)

I'm monitoring HP to see when they will post your latest FTP column and it is still not there, as you well know. I shall be sending them an email to find out what on earth they are trying to accomplish by publishing your columns days late and more than a few dollars short, to boot! :(

congratulations on the cross-post. i'm actually pretty curious to see in which direction the polls will now go. if the trend follows those of other presidents with similar numbers, one would think that obama's numbers will continue to rise. yet, that's not really the sense i have of the public's real-life attitude toward him. at least for this month, i would also guess that the lines will stay pretty stable.

"Empire", indeed... :D

I have been invited to be a contributor to the Business Insider web site, in their newly-launched Politics section. This article was the first to be cross-posted at BusinessInsider.com.

I encourage everyone to check it out:

http://www.businessinsider.com/a-deep-dive-into-president-obamas-public-approval-ratings-2011-3

I'm not sure how often I'll be cross-posting there, I'm thinking now of limiting it to Mondays and Wednesdays for the time being. We'll see how it goes.

But I did want to point it out to everyone. The ChrisWeigant.com media empire just keeps growing (heh).

VERY compelling article there...

The question is... Who will get the blame...

As far as Obama's poll numbers...

He is in a very precarious position right now.. How he handles the Mid East is not going to be just a blip..

It will likely define his presidency, as the problem doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon...
