Lest We Forget -- Not a Bakken Graph

From MSNBC:

When Barack Obama unveils his jobs and economic plan to a joint session of Congress on Thursday, he'll do so at the lowest point of his presidency, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Perhaps most ominously for Obama, a majority of respondents -- 54 percent -- think he's facing a longer-term setback from which he's unlikely to recover. Back in January, just 39 percent agreed with that assessment.

Actually I don't think it's that bad: Californians still overwhelmingly support the President for re-election, and going through the parking lots in Williston, I see no California license plates. None. And California has the second highest unemployment rate (12%) right behind Nevada. Come to think of it, there are no Nevada license plates here either, suggesting that folks have learned to cope with unemployment in those states.
