An unscientific poll tells us that President Obama should not get the power he seeks to consolidate the federal government. The poll is heavily against the move.
With 79.08 % against
         8.59 % in favor
        12.33 % unsure
The Fox News poll is admittedly unscientific, but with numbers that far apart, it at least shows thet the majority of Americans are against giving Obama more power that is Constitionally that of Congress. So what is he up to now? How do you feel about giving the President power to axe some Federal agencies?

Republicans have been yelling for 18 months that government needs to shrink (as if THEY'D ever been able to do it). The President says, "OK, give me the same power Reagan and 50 years of his predecessors had, and I'll shrink it!" And all the Republicans said, "Oh No-o-o-o-oes... he want's POWER!"
I've never heard them waffle so fast (and Republicans are GOOD at waffling). And, since almost the only people who watch Fox News are Republicans, the results of that poll are just a part of the whole "Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't" anti-Obama rhetoric.
And this is the stupidest one yet.
Nuff' said.
"...but with numbers that far apart, it at least shows..."
...absolutely nothing.
"How do you feel about giving the President power to axe some Federal agencies?"
I'm all for eliminating duplication and inefficiency in the federal government. Usually, "conservatives" are too. So what's the objection?
