I'm not trying to be difficult, really I'm not.
The point is - how much does the public know about Barry's personal life? I'd estimate almost nothing - almost the entirety of what one has on which to base a personal opinion of him is of a political nature.
With that in mind, it seems that any change in opinion poll ratings can only be due to events that are political in nature. The only time I imagine a discussion of the same type as yours going anywhere in the lounge is when people ignore the elephant in the room.

Little Johnny was at the mall with his mother when a man came walking toward them. Little Johnny hopped up ad down, laughed, pointed, and screamed, "Mommy! Look at that bowlegged man!"
His mother was so embarrassed. "John, your manners are atrocious! You need some culture, young man!"
For the next month Little Johnny was forced to read Shakespeare every night. When his detention was finally over, his mother again took him to the same mall.
Sure enough, the same bowlegged man came walking toward them.
Had Little Johnny learned anything from the great bard?
Yes.
This time, as the man approached, Little Johnny cried out,
"Hark!
What manner of man is this me sees,
Who wears his genitals in parentheses?"
PS. He did see the opening and closing parentheses! Hence the question about being a C programmer.

Go get your coat... if for no other reason than you felt the need to explain your joke!!

The joke stands by itself.
It is just that instead of just calling it Littlt Johnny, I added the bit about C programmers because they don't spot missing parentheses all the time!![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
It merely proves that C programmers are so humor-impaired that they can't handle a small joke at their expense.

Apparently not! We'll be the judge of that.

I think it's been posted more recently too, but it's proving difficult.

It's actually older than little Johnny.

Be gone foul fiend! How dare you try a new joke.
As you were, I've seen Piebald's missive.

You should have asked: "[...] make a good Lisp programmer?"

Yep, exactly what I thought
It also reminds me of very old lisp joke:
Quote: There was a joke back in the 80s when Reagan's SDI program was in full
swing that someone stole the Lisp source code to the missile interceptor
program and to prove it he showed the last page of code...

That doesn't look like ADA to me. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
