A growing number of Americans are saying the Post Office should reduce services instead of continually raising the price of a stamp. Reduction of services is also favored over government subsidies to keep the USPS operating at current levels.

A government-subsidized postal service might have been needed in 1776 but it's getting harder to justify another money-losing government bureaucracy when FedEx and UPS can perform the same service and, in a lot of cases, more quickly.

No joke! An advertising specialty firm in Tampa (Post Card Mania) is actually selling Obama Rubber Ducks. No word on how many they expect to sell.

Only 28% of America's likely voters "strongly approve" of President Obama's handling of his job. 40% now "strongly disapprove." These numbers are from the latest daily polling done by Rasmussen among likely voters and they are the worst the president has yet faced.

The approval numbers are dropping on an almost daily basis.

Only a small percentage of Americans feel the stimulus package worked at all. Most consider it a wasted trillion dollars. Fewer than 30% believe Obama's healthcare package will reduce medical costs. In fact, most think the costs will go up.

The bailouts haven't struck a positive chord. Neither has the nationalization of two of the Big 3 automakers.

The latest Gallup figures for the president can not be cause for happiness at the White House. Adding all of the "Approve" categories from "somewhat" to "strongly" together, the approval rating has dropped to 53 while the disapproval numbers have increased to 39.

The is particularly bad news for the president. Gallup interviews all adults while some other polling organizations poll only those likely to vote. This difference means Gallup is polling groups of people (young people for instance) who have opinions but who don't always go to the polls in droves.

The latest Rasmussen poll results will be released later today. Rasmussen interviews "likely voters." It will be interesting to see how much of a difference the polling strategies make in the president's approval ratings.

Only 23% of Americans are still gullible enough to think health care costs will go down under Obama's socialized program.

Fully half of the nation's adults disapprove of the presidents performance.

In a generic poll, Republicans now have a slight edge over Democrats for congress in 2010 and the number are getting worse each week for the Democrats.

The lunatic who has seized power in Venezuela is now threatening neighboring Columbia for announcing that Venezuela is arming communist rebels in Columbia. Aren't you just pleased beyond all description that president Obama has the United States is cuddling up with this thug?

In most states this kind of cruelty is actually allowed by the Department of Agriculture. Pennsylvania and Arkansas are among the worst.

This is a real confidence builder. I think I might give up my season pass to ride the MTA if this is true. (Apparently there are pictures!)

Black Cambridge officers apparently know their fellow officers well and they're not falling for the race-baiting this time. Says one: I supporter him. I voted for him. I will not again.

While Ford Motor Company continues to enjoy favorable opinions by the majority of Americans, the impression of General Motors and Chrysler are dropping perilously. The main reason seems to be GM and Chrysler took a handout, Ford didn't.

As the president's poll numbers continue to sink deeper into territory that could make him unelectable, he is dragging otherwise popular and capable Democratic governors into the pit with him.
