Psst, Republicans are you SURE any of you want to run against this guy?

According to Gallup President Obama's approval ratings are at a 16 month high:

President Obama’s current job approval rating for May 22-24 is 53%. That’s his highest since Feb. 12-14, 2010 -- more than 16 months ago. His previous high this year was 52%, reached at several points earlier this month after the May 1 announcement of the successful raid in Pakistan that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden.

Not only that but according to The Hill Obama's health care reform is really starting to take hold:

Some 600,000 young adults have taken advantage of a healthcare reform provision allowing them to stay on their parents’ insurance policies, according to a new report from the Commonwealth Fund.

The liberal think tank said young adults are increasingly delaying care because they can’t afford it and praised the healthcare law’s coverage expansion.

Close to half of all currently uninsured people between 19 and 29 will gain coverage under Medicaid once it expands in 2014, the report says. About one-third will be eligible for subsidies to buy private insurance through a newly created health exchange.

But hey it's not ALL bad news for the Republicans.  I mean Tim Pawlenty has those totally-not-a-joke Jerry Bruckheimer inspired political ads, Mitt Romney is currently taking credit for Obama's auto industry bailout, and I understand that, just like Jesus, Sarah Palin is having a mythological movie made about her.

Okay, well maybe it IS all bad news for the Republicans.

Seriously?  That is what the GOP has to offer in 2012? A two legged remedy for insomnia. a department store mannequin, and habitual lying grifter from Wasilla?

And you wonder why the President is always smiling.
