Poll: 44% of Americans Worse Off Under Obama

Nate made it sound as if the GOP had been controlling the news cycle ever since Obama was elected.  

What the love do you think the whole tea party bs was about?

Edited to add: Let me clarify: Why do you think the Koch brothers dumped millions upon millions of dollars into organizing the tea party movement?

To combat what they perceived as the radical policies of the Obama Administration.  It's hardly gotten favorable treatment in the MSM or left media.  They try to make them look like a bunch of toothless idiots at every turn.

The Koch brothers and their money, another excuse for President Obama's poor job performance.  Keep them coming, maybe I'll publish a compendium of all these excuses for his ineptitude as a leader or use them myself when "my guy" is in office some day.

and he structured Obamacare so that most of the damage it will inflict on the economy will be delayed until 2013.

Almost tempting enough to vote for Obama in '12.  Almost, not quite.

If you recall, just a few weeks ago another business Obama talked about shut down:

Owners of New Chet's Restaurant will close the eatery Sunday after more than 70 years in business. They blamed the economy, the statewide indoor smoking ban and cutbacks in the auto industry, the news service reported.

New Chet's briefly got the national spotlight when Obama visited a Toledo Jeep plant last week, telling workers they were a key factor in keeping that restaurant and other nearby businesses alive.

And the entire story looks rather different, as usual:

This cannot be true. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) hitting up the Koch Brothers for a contribution.

For many months now, your colleagues in the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee leadership have engaged in a series of disparagements and ad hominem attacks about us, apparently as part of a concerted political and fundraising strategy. Just recently, Senator Reid wrote in a DSCC fundraising letter that Republicans are trying to "force through their extreme agenda faster than you can say 'Koch Brothers.'"

So you can imagine my chagrin when I got a letter from you on June 17 asking us to make five-figure contributions to the DSCC. You followed that up with a voicemail* indicating that, if we contributed heavily enough, we would garner an invitation to join you and other Democratic leaders at a retreat in Kiawah Island this September.

I'm hoping you can help me understand the intent of your request because it's hard not to conclude that DSCC politics have become so cynical that you actually expect people whom you routinely denounce to give DSCC money.
