Debt Man Walking … The Obama National Debt Growing at $3 Million a Minute, Even When The One Golfs & Vacations

OBAMA REALLY IS A DEBT MAN WALKING AFTER ALL.

The following is almost incomprehensible. Almost. The latest data for the amount of the national debt are just out and its now $14,639,000,000,000. When Barack Obama took office, as per the LA Times, the debt was at $10,626,000,000,000. Believe it or not, under Barack Obama our National debt grows at $3 million a minute. Maybe the president could remind himself of this when he is on the golf course, shooting hoops, taking vacations, doing campaign bus tours that are masked as jobs initiatives, and filling out NCAA brackets.

That means the debt that our federal government owes a whole lot of somebodies including China has increased $4,247,000,000,000 in just 945 days. That’s the fastest increase under any president ever.

Remember the day the Democrat promised to close the embarrassing Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility within one year? That day the national debt increased $4,247,000,000. And each day since that the facility hasn’t been closed.

Holy Cow Batman!!! Barack Obama Daily Presidential Index at -26 … Gallup Poll: Obama 38% Job Approval Rating

President Barack Obama’s polling numbers continue to get worse, if possible.

According to the most recent Rasmussen Daily Presidential Index, Barack Obama’s rating has plunged to an all-time low of 26. As per today’s data, only 19% strongly approve  of Obama’s handling of his job, while 45% strongly disapprove.  For the 15th day in a row, Obama has had a negative 20 or greater Presidential index.  Frankly, I am still trying to figure out who the 19% are, did they poll that many of Barack’s family?

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 19% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-five percent (45%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -26 (see trends).

This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama. The previous low was -24 reached yesterday and also in September 2010. Additionally, the level of Strong Approval matches the lowest yet recorded. By way of comparison, President Bush had ratings near the end of his second term in the minus 30s.

Its gets worse … Barack Obama has a 38% job approval rating in the latest Gallup poll. Can you say, that’s going to leave a mark? A whopping 54% disapprove of The One’s handing of his job. Looks like it is not just the housing market that is underwater, so is Obama’s job approval at an amazing -16%. The average polling data at Real Clear Politics has Obama at -7.5; however, it seems as if the bottom support has dropped out of Obama’s numbers and look for other polls that are generally favorable to Obama like the WAPO and Marist to follow.

Some one on the LEFT want to tell us how Obama wins in 2012? Barack might as well stay on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard as his presidency is toast. Remember just recently when Obama said, “I understand that and I expect to be judged on the economy in 2012?. YA THINK!!!

5.8 Magnitude Earthquake Rocks Washington, DC, President Barack Obama Playing Golf at the Time at Martha’s Vineyard (Update: 5.9 Earthquake)

A 5.8, Reuters is reporting a 6.2 magnitude earthquake, has rocked Washington, DC and the East Coast.  According to ABC News, the earthquake centered northwest of Richmond, VA, shook much of Washington, DC, and was felt as far north as Rhode Island and New York City. The epicenter of the earthquake is being reported to have been in Mineral, VA.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake was 3.7 miles deep. Shaking was felt at the White House and all over the East Coast, as far south as Chapel Hill, N.C. Parts of the Pentagon, White House and Capitol were evacuated. The quake was in Mineral, Va., in Louisa County

You are never going to guess what the President was doing when the earthquake hit … PLAYING GOLF OF COURSE.

UPDATE I: FOX News reporting that JFK International Airport has been shut down. Federal buildings in DC, Pentagon and Capitol have been evacuated. Obviously, there is a fear of aftershocks so authorities are not going to want people to go back into buildings or underground transit.

The Pentagon has been evacuated, CNN’s Barbara Starr reports. “When the building began shaking rather violently, hundreds of people began streaming out,” she said, because many people thought that the building was under attack. Starr was standing in the Pentagon’s press office when the roof started to shake.

UPDATE II: Being reported that the quake was felt from New Hampshire to Atlanta.  Its now being called a 5.9 magnitude quake according to the USGS.

UPDATE III: Two nuclear power plants taken offline following quake. No reports of damage to the reactors, most likely a precautionary measure.

A nuclear power plant located in Louisa County, the epicenter of the earthquake in Virginia, has shut down.

The North Anna Power Station, operated by Dominion Power, has two reactors.  The plant declared an “unusual event” in the wake of the 5.9 magnitude quake, which is the lowest stage on the plant’s emergency scale.

UPDATE IV: Reagan National in Washington, DC is closed, flights are on hold.

I would say, if you do not need to be on your cell phones in the affected areas, please don’t. It would appear that there has been not that much structural damage and no reported deaths or serious injuries. Thank God, great news.

More Polling Trouble for Obama … Loses to Romney and Tied with Perry in Gallup Poll

What Barack Obama did on his summer vacation, played golf, went to Martha’s Vineyard and saw his polling numbers completely collapse.

More bad polling data for President Barack Obama. The latest Gallup poll in a hypothetical match up between GOP contenders has Obama losing to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Obama tied with current Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Obama within the margin of error with US Reps. Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann. Making matters worse, Obama loses Independents to all contenders except Bachmann. Making matters even more worse than that, the incumbent President does not poll at 50% or above against any challenger. In a dead heat against a challenger when the incumbent polls below 50% … the incumbent loses.

President Barack Obama is closely matched against each of four possible Republican opponents when registered voters are asked whom they would support if the 2012 presidential election were held today. Mitt Romney leads Obama by two percentage points, 48% to 46%, Rick Perry and Obama are tied at 47%, and Obama edges out Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann by two and four points, respectively.

Is it that shocking that Obama is viewed in such a bad light? Not at all. Not when Obama has a job approval in the low 40′s and an economic job approval rating in the 20′s.
