I agree but the fact that there's SO many articles articulating the difference (or 3 or 4) between the words, means that that they really are seen as independent of each other.
Nope.

Come at me.

Have you tried searching for articles that flip the terms around, so that "rich" is superior to "wealthy?"

In any case, a few articles online from sites that aren't particularly high traffic doesn't make a very strong case for common usage.

Those are 2 articles about the same book.

I don't even know what you're doing with the last link, but it made me laugh.

I haven't read a lick of this thread, but aren't Americans unhappy with most sitting Presidents? It's only after their term in office that they get a noticeable bump in popularity. This was certainly true with the more recent Bush and Clinton.

Most *recent* presidents have a gradual downward slide (to some extent, Obama started high, slid fast, but then leveled out to a very steady level), but it's not a historical norm. View it as a byproduct of the growing bipartisanship, it's very hard to appeal to both parties at the moment.
