Obama Job Recovery, What Recovery … Q2 GDP Growth Revised Down to 1.6%

The GDP for the 2nd quarter of 2010 has been revised down to 1.6%, maybe VP Joe Biden would like to make a fool out of himself again and praise the Obama economic recovery and tell us again that the economy is headed in the right direction. Weatherize these GDP numbers Joe! The weak GDP growth is just thje latest in a long line of poor economic numbers that show exactly what most Americans agree on, Obama is a disaster on the economy.

Economic growth slowed more sharply than initially thought in the second quarter, held back by the largest increase in imports in 26 years, a government report showed on Friday.

Gross domestic product expanded at a 1.6 percent annual rate, the Commerce Department said, instead of the 2.4 percent pace it had estimated last month.

However, the reading was a touch better than market expectations. Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast GDP, which measures total goods and services output within U.S. borders, revised down to a 1.4 percent growth rate. The economy grew at a 3.7 percent pace in the first three months of the year.

When Obama asked for comments of the revised GDP number, he was heard to say, “I can’t talk now, I am buying shrimp.”

As Hot Air states, it is going to be difficult for Obama and his minions to spin the idea that the economy is headed in the right direction. The GDP in Q4 of 2009 was 5.7%,  GDP in 2010 Q1 was 3.7% and GDP for 2010Q2 was 1.7%. You follow the downward trend, think the economy is headed in the right direction America?

AP reports that the predictions for Q3 of 2010 will not be much better …

Republicans Now Trusted on All Key Political Issues Over Democrats

Heading into the 2010 midterm elections, American voters trust Republicans on top 10 key issues.

Ever wonder why Democrats are now fearful that the House has already bee lost? Maybe it’s because the American voters now trust Republicans over Democrats on all key political issues. On issues like the economy, immigration, health care, social security, taxes and national security the GOP is trusted more. In the wake of the Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters ethics scandals, Republicans are now even trusted more than Democrats on the issue of ethics as well.

Issues:  Education  40% (D) -  41% (R),  Health Care 40% (D) –  48% (R) , Iraq war  40% (D) -  43% (R), Economy 39% (D) - 47% (R),  Social Security (D) 38% – 44% (R), Government Ethics 38% (D) – 40% (R),  National Security 37% (D) – 49% (R),  Afghanistan war 36% (D) – 43% (R), Taxes  36% (D) - 52% (R) and Immigration 35% (D) - 44% (R ).

Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on all 10 of the important issues regularly tracked by Rasmussen Reports.

The GOP has consistently been trusted on most issues for months now, but in July they held the lead on only nine of the key issues. 

Republicans lead Democrats 47% to 39% on the economy, which remains the most important issue to voters. Those numbers are nearly identical to those found in June. Republicans have held the advantage on the economy since May of last year.

More grim news for Democrats to run on in 2010, Barack Hussein Obama has a -17 Presidental Index rating. And the economy keeps getting worse, not better.

California Senate Election 2010: Barbara Boxer (D) 44%, Carly Fiorina (R) 43% … Toss Up

US Senate incumbent Barbara Boxer finds herself in a dog fight with Republican challenger Carly Fiorina for the California US Senate seat. In the heavily “blue” state of California, Boxer only finds herself up by 1% in the latest Rasmuseen poll over Fiorina, 44% to 43%.

Democratic incumbent Barbara Boxer and her Republican challenger Carly Fiorina are now essentially tied in California’s U.S. Senate race, moving the state from Leans Democratic to a Toss-Up in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings. 

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in California shows Boxer with 44% support, while Fiorina picks up 43% of the vote. Five percent (5%) like another candidate in the race, and eight percent (8%) are undecided.

The race appears to be tightening as earlier this month Boxer had a 5% point lead over Fiorina and in JulyBoxer had a 7% point lead. Obviously,  the polling trend is moving toward Fiorina and it might just be the terrible economic situation in California. Only 2%, yes that is correct 2% of California voters believe the economy is good, while 67% state that it is poor.

Many Democrats Think the US House is Lost, Guess they Didn’t Get Biden’s Email

Democrats … what ever gave you the idea that you would lose the House?

With an economy tanking and in complete disarray, unemployment at near 10% nationally, new home sales at a 40 year low, existing home sales at record lows, record amount of Americans on food stamps, more people being added tofirst time unemployment benefits, the Obama stimulus passed by Democrats a complete disaster and the Congressional Generic Ballot polling having Republics up 9% over Democrats heading into the midterm elections … Democrats are now finally worried.

Democrats actually are now starting to believe that they might lose the US House of Representatives this Fall and Democrat House Speaker will be out of a job, what ever gave them this idea? Certainly not the VP turned cheerleader and head Obama Admin “denialist”Joe Biden who previously stated that, “the death of the Democrat party has been greatly exaggerated”. It would appear that Democrats are not finding the VP’s words very credible.

Top Democrats are growing markedly more pessimistic about holding the House, privately conceding that the summertime economic and political recovery they were banking on will not likely materialize by Election Day.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg Calls 60% in US and 9-11 Families Un-American, Again

Why is it that every one has to be tolerant except Liberals and Muslims?

How many times will NYC Mayor call 60% of Americans, including families who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001 UN-AMERICAN? There are probably more NY’ers than not who wish Bloombergwas “un”employed these days. Simply amazing that these LEFTist tool politicians call others Un-American when they are just expressing their First Amendment rights of Freedom of Speech. I guess we can now understand why Leftists like Bloomberg are in lockstep with the ridged, without compassion, unbending and unrelenting planners of the Ground Zero mosque, they have all too much in common. But Bloomberg says, the hell with the people and what they say … build it no matter what. What tolerance and compassion for the families and victims of 9-11.
