News To Fox, Issues Do Matter

I just can't seem to go more than a few days without a post about Fox News. Judging by every major national poll released within the last 5 days, President Obama is a very popular president. Not just popular with fame but his policies are also popular, evident by people who think America is on the right track has tripled since his election. Even by Fox News' own poll, Obama is three times more popular than Fox's own president, George W. Bush. Call me confused then when I make my daily trek over to foxnews.com to read they can't figure out why people aren't responding to his policies.
"the reversal of several of his predecessor's regulations has garnered hardly a whimper -- leaving many to wonder how much social issues matter to Americans amid two wars and an economic crisis."
Social issues do matter you dimwits. It's that people SUPPORT Obama's reversals from Bush-era Cavemen policies. Look at any issue you want and you will see America does support the direction Obama has planned for this country.

Marriage, health care reform, abortion rights, energy, environment, stem cell research, Iraq-- all issues entirely favor Obama's direction for the country. People are responding to Obama's reversals. They are responding with a sigh of relief and gratitude. We aren't tea bagging in the streets, which to Fox News and the Republicans is the only patriotic thing to do when such a president as Obama is in charge. Even the last time Fox News polled the question should gay couples be allowed marriage rights, nearly 60% said they supported full marriage or civil unions. These are also issues Obama ran openly about and was overwhelmingly elected to enact. It's almost as if Republicans try look dumb.
