Gallup Poll: 47% – 17% in Favor of Lowering Debt Ceiling … As Obama Drags His Feet

Politicians in Washington, DC better wake up when it comes to “We the People” and the debt ceiling or face the consequences in 2012.

According to a recent Gallup poll, 47% are against raising the debt ceiling, while only 17% are in favor. 70% of Republicans, 46% of Independents and only 26% of Democrats are against raising the debt ceiling. The national debt (see debt clock) is $14, 280,910,300,000 and counting.Is it possible that elected officials can actually cut spending? Is it possible that we can have a serious plan put in place to reduce the deficit? Why is it that families across America have had to reduce their living standard, reduce spending and do without, yet Washington, DC just keeps raising the debt limit without concern. It’s time for real change!

To those GOP’ers who wish to raise the debt limit, you best take a good look at the Republican and Indy polling above.

So Was the Navy Seal Team Raid and Killing of Bin Laden Captured on Video Or Not?

And the story changes again …

So what is the truth as to what occurred in the US Seal team raid in the capture and killing of Osama Bin Laden? Was the raid caught on VIDEO or not? According to CBS News, the entire Seal raid was captured on tiny helmet cams worn by all Navy Seals.It seems to be yet another version of the story as to what happened in a killing of Bin Laden. Why has it been so difficult for Obama’s folks to communicate what actually happened?

A new picture emerged Thursday of what really happened the night the Navy SEALs swooped in on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan.

CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports the 40 minutes it took to kill bin Laden and scoop his archives into garbage bags were all recorded by tiny helmet cameras worn by each of the 25 SEALs.

Officials reviewing those videos are still reconstructing a more accurate version of what happened. We now know that the only firefight took place in the guest house, where one of bin Laden’s couriers opened fire and was quickly gunned down. No one in the main building got off a shot or was even armed, although there were weapons nearby.

Wait a minute, via the Drudge Report, from the UK Telegraph comes the previous story that there was a VIDEO black out during the raid.CIA Director Leon Panetta stated there was a period of 25 minutes when the Seals were in the compound that the situation room did not know what was going on.

Day 4 Casey Anthony Murder Trial Jury Selection … Defense Attorneys Tips Their Hand, They Will Offer Casey Anthony’s was Sexually Abused as Child

Day 4 of the Casey Anthony murder trial jury section in the death of Caylee Anthony …

It came as a bombshell today, but for those that have followed the case since little Caylee Anthony went missing and then her body was discovered, it was the worst kept secret for the defense of Team Casey. During this mornings endless pre-trial publicity and death penalty phase questioning of  the first potential juror in the Casey Anthony murder case, Defense Team Casey asked questions regarding mitigating circumstance to a crime that let the cat out of the bag as to what they were going to pursue at trial.

Remember the old accusations from the jailhouse letters from Casey where Casey made accusations against Lee and George.

During this mornings questioning it appears that Jose Baez, et all are going to say that Casey Anthony was sexually abused and that she grew up in a dysfunctional family. This of course has long been rumored that George abused her; however, its been categorically denied. Many thought they would not go this direction; however, those that follow the case have said this was the stunt they would use as a defense.

The fireworks began when the defense team laid out its strategy for the very first time while questioning potential jurors.  Anthony’s attorneys asked them if they would be able to consider certain aspects of the young mother’s background while trying her for mother.

Ann Finnell said, “Her lack of maturity, her lack of impulse control, history of sexual abuse, suffers from insomnia and nightmares, mother and father failed to protect her as a child. She was taught poor coping skills.”

So a lack of coping skills is a defense and a mitigating circumstance for killing your child and hiding the body for a month while you party and go clubbing, really? After 3 years of trying to come up with an explanation, this is all Baez has?

Barack Obama Seal Team 6 Action Doll with Kung Fu Grip & a Pack of Cigarettes

ARE YOU SERIOUS …

So now we have the Barack Obama action figure doll … please tell me this is a joke, because it’s a slur to US Navy Seals every where. With all due respect to the folks at Hero Builders, I think you might have used Michelle’s forearms, not Barack’s on the action figure. However, how sad that people need to present this President in a light which he is not. Sorry, but there is nothing Seal-like about President Barack Obama. BTW, Navy Seals can throw a baseball.

From MSNBC:

Navy SEALs have become national heroes since news broke that they took down Osama bin Laden, so it’s fitting that the newest action figure from a Connecticut company is a fierce-looking President Barack Obama as a SEAL.

The minute Obama said late on the night of May 1 that the U.S. had found and killed bin Laden, Emil Vicale knew which his action figure company’s would make next — Rambama.

Hero Builders released the Obama SEAL Team 6 action figure,  a muscular President in fatigues armed with an M1-A4. Actually, the doll they made as Obama as the Joker might be a better depiction of “The One”.It appears that many have left comments at Hero Builders that are non too complimentary. This is a bad joke and an absolute insult to the hero US Navy Seals. Well we now know what MSNBC’s Chris Matthews is going to get for Christmas. Does anyone really believe that Obama could ever be a Seal? Hell, the jury is still out on whether he can be President.

Obama Hope & Change … 85% of College Graduates Move Back in With Mom & Dad

College graduates … “YES WE CAN, LIVE AT HOME”.

The college graduates are coming home to roost. According to a Times article, 85% of new college graduates move back in with mommy and daddy following graduation. Thanks Barack.  Welcome to President Barack Obama’s “Hope & Change” with his failed economic policies. For all those young people who blindly supported Obama in 2008, I wonder how they feel now that they find it difficult to get a job and have to move back in with mom and dad?

Surprise, surprise: Thanks to a high unemployment rate for new grads, many of those with diplomas fresh off the press are making a return to Mom and Dad’s place. In fact, according to a poll conducted by consulting firm Twentysomething Inc., some 85% of graduates will soon remember what Mom’s cooking tastes like.

Times are undeniably tough. Reports (Video) have placed the unemployment rate for the under-25 group as high as 54%. Many of these unemployed graduates are choosing to go into higher education in an attempt to wait out the job market, while others are going anywhere — and doing anything — for work. Meanwhile, moving back home helps with expenses and paying off student loans.

“The youth bloom is off the rose”

From the King Politics, via the Gateway Pundit comes the following map of the 2008 youth vote. How  much of that vote can Obama really count on in 2012? These once insulated college kids are now facing the cold hard facts that they are without a job and living back at home. This is hardly what they anticipated when Obama made all the “unicorn and glitter” promises of “yes we can”.

As the Lonely Conservative, one of my new favorite blogs states, its going to be difficult for Obama to blame this one on George W. Bush. The fact of the matter is that Obama’s policies have been damaging to the recovery of the US economy. We presently are at 9.0% unemployment and just had yet another poor jobs report out today. First time unemployment claims fell to 434K, but this is still a terrible number.

In a completely separate issue, but just as important when it comes to jobs, Barack Obama, the first black President has done little for blacks with jobs and employment.  The employment rate for black men has fallen to an all time low.

If the election of America’s first African-American president was expected to give blacks an economic boost, it hasn’t emerged yet. Indeed, the percentage of African-American men with a job has dropped to its lowest level since records began in 1972, according to the government’s monthly jobs report released last week.

Even as the economy added a better-than-expected 244,000 jobs, the percentage of black males over 20 who are currently employed dropped slightly to 56.9, the Labor Department’s April report shows. For whites, the equivalent figure is 68.1 percent.

Before this recession, the percentage of black adult men with a job had never dropped below 60 percent, according to Labor Department statistics.

An Obamanation: NJ Police PO’d Over Barack Obama White House Invite to Cop-Killer Promoting Rapper Common

Let’s see Obama justify this disgusting travesty … rapper Common, Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. How is a cop killing promoting rapper allowed in the White House?

The New Jersey State Police are up in arms and outraged that President Barack Obama would invite rapper Common to the White House. What’s the matter with inviting Common, a cop killing promoting rappers. C’mon man, yo, yo ain’t dis here what dis here prezident iz all about? Obama be a President that brings people together. Can America wake up from their delusion of what Obama was touted as being and just realize that this man could care less about bridging the divides in the US. Why should we not be surprised as the Gateway Pundit states, the chickens appear to have come home to roost … Common is a former Obama church member. I guess Barack never heard Common rap either.

View more videos at: http://nbcnewyork.com.

While even casual hip-hop fans wouldn’t characterize him as a controversial rapper, Common found himself under the microscope after First Lady Michelle Obama invited him to the White House for an arts event. In question: the lyrics to “A Song for Assata,” about convicted cop-killer and former Black Panther Assata Shakur.

The White House said Wednesday it stood by the decision to invite Common. Press Secretary Jay Carney said the conservative backlash distorts what Common stands for, and added that the president appreciates Common’s work with children in Chicago.

How is this individual allowed in the People’s House on the tax payer’s dime?

How could anyone justify the actions of any singer who raps about praising the acts of a cop killer? Seriously, Obama was just at Ground Zero and praising the acts of the first responders, fireman, police and paramedics and now this. WAKE UP POLICE … are you understanding now that it was just a photo-op?  The furor from the New Jersey police centers on “A Song for Assata” lyrics like “Your power and pride is beautiful. May God bless your soul.”

Papile removed Dittmeyer from the trunk of her car and disposed of the bound body in a snowmaking pond at Cranmore Mountain where she was ultimately found.

What a shocker, all three of these punks have past criminal records. Ferguson and Petelis are being held on $250,000 cash bail, Papile was denied bail. The three dirt bags are being held at Carroll County House of Correction.

The son intentionality shot dad while he was on the coach. The 10 year old boy will be charged with murder as a juvenile by a judge, not a jury. However, how could anyone prove that the boy knew right from wrong with a father that indoctrinated this child with hate and racism?

A 10-year-old boy charged with murdering his father at their home in California was being exposed to his father’s extreme neo-Nazi ideology of racism and violence at the time he allegedly turned a gun against him.
