The No Dah Moment … Obama Finally Says, “I understand that and I expect to be judged on the economy in 2012″
Has reality set in for President Barack Obama? Has he finally reached the “NO DAH MOMENT”? On Sunday, Obama told CBS News that, “he expects to be judged in the 2012 election over his governance of the American economy.” Really Barack, you figured that out all by yourself, eh? Imagine that Barack, being held accountable for jobs, something you have done nothing about, except if the were government subsidized “green jobs”.
“Who knew I would he held accountable, can’t I blame it on Bush?”
“For me to argue, look, we’ve actually made the right decisions, things would have been much worse has we not made those decisions — that’s not that satisfying if you don’t have a job right now,” Obama told CBS in an interview taped last week and aired during his annual vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, an island near Boston.
“I understand that and I expect to be judged a year from now on whether or not things have continued to get better,” he said.
I guess the recent dismal Obama job approval polls have caught the eye of “The One”, especially the 26% approval rating that Obama has on handling the economy.
Creating Jobs: Approve 29% – Disapprove 65%
The Economy: Approve 26% – Disapprove 71%
Federal Budget Deficit: Approve 24% – Disapprove 71%
Barack Obama says that there is nothing wrong with our country, that there is something wrong with our politics. Really? Could he be the reason why there is something wrong with said politics? Every since Obama has taken office and in multiple State of the Union speeches, Obama has stated that JOBS, JOBS, JOBS would be his priority, yet it was other liberal agenda wish list items that have taken precedent. Imagine if Obama had spent as much time in the beginning for jobs and not Obamacare?
“America is tired of listening about what we need to do, they want to see results”
Barack Obama says he has a plan for jobs, but its so important to Americans that he will wait until after he is done with his vacation to Martha’s Vineyard. Imagine that, his jobs speech is so important and he is making JOBS FOR AMERICANS so important that it can wait until he is done with his fun, sun and frivolity on vacation. Does anyone see anything wrong with this?
EXIT QUESTION: How does Obama win reelection with an unemployment rate over 9%, record number of people on food stamps, record debt and only 15% of Americans believing that the country is headed in the right direction. Add in the negative opinion of Obamacare and the want to repeal it and Obama’s position on backdoor amnesty, rather than protecting the borders.

Barack Obama Excuses on Economy and US Credit Rating Downgrade Sounding Like John Belushi … “It Wasn’t My Fault”
THE FOLLOWING VIDEO IS PRICELESS … how about some cheese with that whine, Barack?
Check out the VIDEO below and President Barack Obama making yet more excuses regarding the economy, this time its the US Credit downgrade, otherwise known as the “Obama downgrade”. We have heard Obama blame GWB for the economy and everything else that is bad. He has taken no responsibility for anything, as the buck stop somewhere else under this White House. Obama talks about what he has inherited; however, one of those things he inherited was a Triple A US credit rating. No more, thanks Barack.
“It’s the weather… Europe… an earthquake… bad luck… the tea party… the internet.”
“It wasn’t my fault!”
Hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit via Swindle Vision
“WE THE PEOPLE” want a leader, not a whiner … America, make a difference in 2012 and end this nightmare.

Barack Obama in Serious Polling Trouble in Battle Ground State of Pennsylvania … 35% Job Approval
Key state battle ground polling troubles for Obama … looks like they cling to more than their “guns and Bibles”.
In the 2008 Presidential election, Barack Obama defeated John McCain in Pennsylvania 54.7% to 44.3%. In April 2009, just after Barack Obama started as President and and just after the stimulus bill was passed, Obama was at 61% approval in the Keystone state. Now according to a recent Muhlenberg College poll released Friday,Obama has dropped to a 35% job approval rating among registered voters. OUCH!!!
President Barack Obama, who political experts say will need a win in Pennsylvania to retain the White House, dipped to 35 percent approval among the state’s registered voters, according to a Muhlenberg College poll released Friday.
The results come on the heels of a bad week in polls for Obama that showed him first dropping to 39 percent nationwide in Gallup’s daily tracking poll. Then another set of Gallup results Thursday showed only 26 percent of Americans approve of how Obama is handling the economy.
The unemployment rate in PA is presently 9% and Pennsylvanians seem pessimistic about the economy.Once again Barack Obama is being bit by the terrible US economy and the fact that he has promised jobs and delivered nothing. Many in Pennsylvania believe that Obama’s policies have negatively affected the economy.
Asked if Obama’s policies have helped or hurt the economy, just 23 percent said helped, 41 percent said hurt and 32 percent said his policies haven’t made a difference.
Hot Air brings up some important voting registration demographic, as “Democrats enjoy a substantial registration advantage over Republicans, going well into double digits.” Earlier this month, a Quinnipiac poll had Obama with a 54% – 43% disapproval among Pennsylvania voters. There is no way that Barack Obama wins reelection if he loses Pennsylvania. However, Obama is going to have difficulty winning many states that he carried in 2008 like VA, NC, FL, OH, IN and NH. A look into the 2012 election crystal ball will show that not only will Obama have trouble in traditional swing states, or battleground states, but there will be new states that were once considered “Blue” that will be in play like Wisconsin and Michigan.

Gallup Poll: Barack Obama Down 36% Among Hispanics and Overall Job Approval at 40%
YET ANOTHER DEMOGRAPHIC THAT OBAMA IS POLLING POORLY WITH …
There is a reason why President Barack Obama has a 40% jobs approval rating, while 53% disapprove of the way “The One” has handled the his job as president. According to CNS News, Obama has dropped 36% among Hispanics Americans since 2009 and is presently at a 49% approval rating.
Only 49 percent of Hispanic Americans said last week they approve of the job Barack Obama is doing as president, according to the Gallup poll. That is down 36 points from the high of 85 percent that Obama’s approval hit among Hispanics in the Gallup poll in the spring of 2009, his first year as president.
This can completely explain Obama’s “quid pro quo” attempt to buy back Hispanic votes with his “end run” around Congress and changes the manner in which the US exports illegals. Imagine that, Obama himself deciding on what laws of the United States he will follow and which ones he will not. Sadly, this is nothing more than “back door” amnesty and a president making law himself, rather than that being passed by Congress.
Bowing to pressure from immigrant rights activists, the Obama administration said Thursday that it will halt deportation proceedings on a case-by-case basis against illegal immigrants who meet certain criteria, such as attending school, having family in the military or having primary responsible for other family members’ care.
The move marks a major step for President Obama, who for months has said he does not have broad categorical authority to halt deportations and said he must follow the laws as Congress has written them.

Iran Sentences US Hikers Shane Bauer & Josh Fattal to 8 Years as Spies
The Iranian kangaroo court has spoken …
The two American hikers, Shane Bauer & Josh Fattal, who were arrested on July 31, 2009 near Iran’s border with Iraq, along with a third American Sarah Shourd, by the Iranian regime have been sentenced in Iran to 8 years as US spies. They were convicted for for espionage and illegal entry.
“In connection with illegal entry into Iranian territory each was given three years in jail and in connection with the charge of cooperating with American intelligence service, each was given five years in jail,” a state TV website said, quoting what it called an informed judiciary source.
They have 20 days to appeal, it said.
The affair has compounded tensions between Tehran and Washington, which have had no diplomatic relations since the storming of the U.S. embassy after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
There was no immediate comment from U.S. officials.
Thankfully, Sarah Shourd was freed on $500,000 bail in September 2010, returned home and never returned back to Iran. What will be the reaction of the Obama Administration to the sentencing? Sorry, Obama was to busy on vacation to respond to two Americans being unjustly imprisoned.
Obviously, this was a hard line message by Iran to test the Obama Administration … but all that came from the State Department was that they restated the U.S. appeals for their release, “It is time to reunite them with their families.” I guess its better than an Obama apology.
Oh the irony, a regime like Iran enforcing their borders, but Barack Obama thinks that its perfectly ok for illegals to come across the border as long as they commit no crimes. Maybe after his Martha’s Vineyard vacation, Obama can share his executive order providing backdoor amnesty to illegals.
UPDATE I: Iran turns US hikers into Hostages.
Is it 1979 all over again … a weak US Democrat President residing over a failed US economy and an Iranian regime politicizing the capture and detainment of Americans.
The politicized verdict once again underscores the Islamist regime’s twisted sense of “justice,” which is meted out against Iranians as well as foreigners to advance the interests of a ruthlessly brutal regime. The show trial of the hiker/hostages is one more slap in the face of the Obama Administration, whose eager rush to engage Tehran has produced no tangible results.
