Again you don't have to lie, speak the truth and lead and people will follow. People want someone with a plan who'll stick with it and plainly articulate that plan. Obama is losing popularity because it is becoming increasingly clear to people with a clue that he is just another leftist pretender who'll do or say anything to get hold of the reains of power. He's not getting more like Bush, he's getting more like Bill Clinton except he doesn't have a Republican congress to hold his feet to the fire, not yet anyway. They dems will likely hang on to the senate next time around because most of those running are republicans but they could lose almost all their house majority - half of it by way of defection as it becomes clearer and clearer to the bluedogs that they have more in common with the other side of the aisle.
