Obama's approval rating surges in new poll

A little more than a week after the death of Osama bin Laden, President Obama's approval rating his hit a two-year high in a new Associated Press/GfK poll.

According to the poll, which was released this morning, 60 percent of those surveyed now approve of the job Obama is doing as president.

That's an increase of seven points since March, and marks the highest number Obama has posted since May 2009.

More than half of those surveyed—53 percent--believe Obama deserves to be re-elected in 2012, a slight uptick since earlier this year.

It won't last and it's too soon and it's for all the wrong reasons but hey, we'll take it.

Not change our health care system?

To anyone who says we "have the best health care system in the world" or that "we don't need to change our health care system" or that "the American people don't want our health care system changed", I can now give them, along with statistics and hard data showing ours as the most expensive health care system in the world, as well as other, failing mortality and disease rates, the following :

"A new Associated Press-GfK Poll finds a widespread hunger for improvements to the health care system, which suggests President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies have a political opening to push their plan. Half of all Americans say health care should be changed a lot or 'a great deal,' and only 4 percent say it shouldn't be changed at all."

Note to Congress: Give us our health care reform. Make it work.
