Barack Obama Back to 50% Disaproval in Gallup Job Approval Poll

President Barack Obama’s job approval numbers are crashing all around him.

Add the Gallup poll to the latest in a long list of polls to have Obama’s job approval numbers sinking fast. The most recent Gallup Job Approval poll has Obama at 50% disapprove, while only 43% approve.

As seen at RCP, all polls are heading South for Barack Obama.

Although, look for his poll numbers to drop even more with GDP at an anemic 1.9%, unemployment at 9.1%, housing and real estate is crashing again and the debt limit talks have broken down. On top of it all, Barack Obama has now announced a troop withdrawal that has been questioned by the military brass, as Obama disregarded General David Petraeus, that can only be seen as a political play by the President.

Obama has been reckless with the economy and jobs … now add the war in Afghanistan to it. Barack Obama is floundering and he will be hard pressed to win reelection in 2012.

Casey Anthony Trial: The State Discovers The Elusive 17th Allele- BOMBSHELL Discovery Of The Deuchebag Chromosome, Belongs To Bereaved Gram Cindy Anthony

Orlando, FL– I swear on my Blinkette’s, at no time, did I ever picture the word that rhymes with “euchebag” if you add a D, would appear in a title on my site.

Today’s testimony by Academy Of Parental Enablers Resulting in Toddler Death President (AOPERTDP), Cindy Anthony , took the strand.

I said strand on purpose. I am convinced the elusive 17th allele comes from her. I daydream she left it on the shovel by attempting to dig herself a hole following the conclusion of her filicidic daughter’s trial.

Casey Anthony Murder Trial: Defense Expert William Rodriguez on his Way Out … Never Co-Founded the Body Farm … Where did WFTV get the Tip?

So much for MSM attribution …

All reports point to that Rodriguez is out as a defense expert witness … no wonder defense attorney Jose Baez does not like bloggers. They just throw a Monkey wrench in his contrived defense and as other defense attorneys have stated in the past, I have to get this monkey off my back”. However, its sad that some in the MSM cannot admit the obvious … where the story came from.

Ever since William C. Rodriguez made the comment last Saturday on the witness stand during his defense expert testimony that he was a co-founder of the Body Farm, the questioning antenna was raised my myself and many at Scared Monkeys … REALLY? The sleuth hats went on and a tremendous amount of research was done, not speculation and conjecture … research.

Unlike WFTV, we will actually link to their VIDEO (4:20 mark) where they discuss the situation of William Rodriguez and his departure from the trial after having had a cup of coffee on the witness stand. Where was the story posted on the Internet Cathi and Bill? Seriously. All one has to do is a Google search of William Rodriguez – Body Farm – Co-founder and voila … an amazing thing occurs … Scared Monkeys.com has the top two posts/articles HERE and HERE. They are actually the only one’s that are questioning the testimony, providing data material as to disproving Rodriguez’s accounts of his co-founding the Body Farm. Oh yea, and there is an actual email from the Body Farm stating the following:

William Rodriguez was a student under Dr. Bass and conducted research at the facility in the early and mid 80s. He was a major assistant in the early years, but was by no means a co-founder.

No one minds that you Bill and Kathi would discuss the embellishments of defense witness Rodriguez; however, is it really that much to ask to actually name the obvious source of where the information came from? Much like the questioning and analysis of the Body Farm wiki’s that were edited. Where was that data from again?

Hat Tip: Klaas

Oh, and here would be the tweets that you were sent as well. It is rather pathetic that these folks would make it sound like they did all the leg work and broke the story. You were provided with the tip and responsible blogs actually contacted the Body farm long before you ever called Dr. Bass. Just curious, if this was your scoop, how come the call was not made on Monday? You are the all powerful MSM where this is your job, why was the commentary not made until Wednesday … when was the Scared Monkeys post, um, Casey Anthony Murder Trial: It’s Official, William C. Rodriguez is not the Co-Founder of the Body Farm … Some One is Bolstering on the Witness Stand or Worse, June 20, 2011.

Scared Monkeys would like to thank the many Monkeys in the cage at Scared Monkeys.net Crime Forum that helped research and get out the word through Facebook, Twitter and emails that made it possible that a potential witness was found wanting. Let’s face it Bill and Kathi, long before you went on TV and took credit for your great reporting … the decision had already been made by the Powers that be in the Casey Anthony murder trial that Rodriguez would not be getting back on the witness stand. Hmm, wonder where they might have read the damning data that would have discredited the witness? Maybe it was at those blogs that you stated you could not trust or bother to contact.

Scared Monkeys was breaking news stories back in 2005 in the Natalee Holloway case prior to the MSM and will be doing so long after the murder trial of Casey Anthony ends. Its too bad that it would appear that the MSM is guilty of wanting as well. Kudos Bloggers to your questioning and perseverance in wanting to get at the truth while the MSM shows videos of individuals fighting to get into the trial. Professional courtesy and ethics go a long way.

Thank you Monkeys!

Legendary Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger, who has been on the run for more than a decade, was arrested Wednesday in Santa Monica, multiple law enforcement sources told The Times.

Bulger, 81, has been the subject of several books and was the inspiration for “The Departed,” a 2006 Martin Scorsese film staring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson.

Bulger fled Boston in late 1994 as federal agents were about to arrest him in connection with 21 killings, racketeering and other crimes that spanned the early 1970s to the mid-1980s.

FBI’s assistant director in charge in Los Angeles, issued the following statement late Wednesday:

“FBI Agents have arrested Top Ten Fugitive, James J. “Whitey” Bulger, and his companion, Catherine Greig, in California. Recent publicity produced a tip which led agents to Santa Monica where they located both Bulger and Greig at a residence early this evening. The two were arrested without incident. Both are currently scheduled for an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in the Central District of California (downtown Los Angeles) on Thursday.”

Much more at the NY Times on the life, times and capture of ex-mob boss Whitey Bulger. Recently the FBI began a campaign to get Bulger via his girl friend through a stepped up ad campaign. looks like the FBI have finally got their guy, and girl.

Only 30% of Voters Certain they will Vote for Barack Obama in 2012 Presidential Re-Election in Bloomberg Poll … Gallup Poll Slide

Slip, sliding away …

President Barack Obama’s poll numbers continue to slide, this time its the Bloomberg National Poll where only 30% state that the will vote for Obama in 2012. Frustrated Americans believe that Obama has had his chance to fix the economy and will not support him in 2012. It would see that Americans will be looking for change in 2012 and hope that Obama will not get a second term in office.

Americans are growing more dissatisfied with President Barack Obama’s handling of the economy and say it will be hard to vote to re-elect him without seeing significant progress over the next year and a half.

By a margin of 61 percent to 37 percent, a Bloomberg National Poll conducted June 17-20 shows Americans say they believe that Obama will have had his chance to make the economy “substantially better” by the end of 2012.

Only 30 percent of respondents said they are certain to vote for the president and 36 percent said they definitely won’t. Among likely independent voters, only 23 percent said they will back his re-election, while 36 percent said they definitely will look for another candidate.

Barack Obama has also hit the skids in the Gallup poll where where Obama now finds himself, 45% approve – 48% disapprove.

Casey Anthony Murder Trial: Chief Defense Witness Bill Rodriguez Perjures Himself – OUT HE GOES – … Ashton Spits Out Spitz…

The Casey Anthony Murder Trial and what’s left of the defense witnesses left in its wake.

From Blink on Crime comes an analysis of many of the defense expert witnesses, each discredited by the prosecution one right after the next. Dr. Timothy Huntington, William Rodriguez and Werner Spitz, MD all came in like defense expert witness lions and left like discredited lambs. Just how many skilled experts in their field will have their reputations ruined by this trial and the poor defense strategy of Jose Baez and the Casey Anthony defense team.

Orlando, FL-  The Ninth Circuit of Orange County is beginning to look like their own decay facility.

If you’re watching the murder trial of Casey Anthony, for the murder of her daughter Caylee as the defense is presenting their case in chief,  you are watching Jose Baez et al building their own THE BODY FARM, of defense witnesses, that is.

READ the full story and analysis at Blink on Crime … note Blink is reporting that defense expert witness William Rodriguez, the NOT co-founder of the Body Farm is out.
