Comments on: Obama says: “Now, the Freedom of Choice Act is not highest legislative priority.” http://www.feministlawprofessors.com/2009/04/obama-says-now-the-freedom-of-choice-act-is-not-highest-legislative-priority/ Nearly all of us root for fairness, not for our own sex. - Nicholas Kristof Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:26:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Obama +1 net approval on day 103 | Lux Libertas - Light and Liberty http://www.feministlawprofessors.com/2009/04/obama-says-now-the-freedom-of-choice-act-is-not-highest-legislative-priority/comment-page-1/#comment-4840 Obama +1 net approval on day 103 | Lux Libertas - Light and Liberty Sun, 03 May 2009 13:13:00 +0000 http://feministlawprofessors.com/?p=10357#comment-4840 [...] There are still a great many people out there who think Obama is doing ok.  Part of this is because many those those who voted for him did not buy into the media hype so their expectations were of the modest sort to begin with.  Part of it is because, as someone put it to me just this Wednesday ”Obama seems to be learning from his mistakes and that’s what counts.”   One must be careful too not to assume the waning approval number is the result of disenchantment solely among those from the political right and the middle. Some of what my friend saw as learning from mistakes involved Obama walking back on promises to the political left.
