Obamanomics: CNN Poll Says 8 in 10 Americans Believe We Are in a Recession
More bad polling data for President Barack Obama …
According to a recent CNN poll, 8 in 10 Americans believe that we are in a recession. How could they possibly think that after Friday’s employment numbers that showed ZERO jobs were created in August and the two previous months job totals were revised downward. Americans do not care what the formal definition is of a recession. The Obama recession is one of no jobs from President ZERO. The economic indicators are heading in the wrong directions and Obama’s economic policies have been an EPIC FAIL.
Full data can be seen HERE.
Economic fears are not diminishing. More than eight in 10 Americans think the economy is in another recession, according to a new CNN/ORC poll. One-third of those surveyed think it’s serious.
While the country isn’t technically in a recession because the economy hasn’t experienced two straight quarters of negative growth, the poll’s results highlight the importance of President Barack Obama’s jobs speech next Thursday night.
At Rasmussen just 16% think that the country is headed in the right direction. Hardly the “Hope & Change” that America was looking for when they elected Barack Obama. Every one is looking to Obama’s jobs speech next week, unless you are “Ready for Some Football” instead and will be doing some tailgating ahead of the NFL Opener that pits the Green bay Packers against the New Orleans Saints. Although, Obama and his minions are already down playing his speech and lowering the bar. What a surprise that Obama is setting low expectations.
The floundering economy and predicted 9.0% unemployment in 2012 will spell curtains for Obama in 2012.

Cincinnati Man Dies of Tooth Infection … Liberal MSM Blames No Insurance
Sorry folks, but there comes a point and time where one must make some choices and one would think the most common sense choice would be to stay alive.
A 24 year old Cincinnati man died as a result if a tooth infection as ABC News reported, he could not afford his meds because he had no insurance. Really? I am truly sad that this man died, but it was not because he did not have dental insurance. BTW, you mean he could not find and affordable dental palm at Dentalplans.com?
A 24-year-old Cincinnati father died from a tooth infection this week because he couldn’t afford his medication, offering a sobering reminder of the importance of oral health and the number of people without access to dental or health care.
According to NBC affiliate WLWT, Kyle Willis’ wisdom tooth started hurting two weeks ago. When dentists told him it needed to be pulled, he decided to forgo the procedure, because he was unemployed and had no health insurance.
When his face started swelling and his head began to ache, Willis went to the emergency room, where he received prescriptions for antibiotics and pain medications. Willis couldn’t afford both, so he chose the pain medications.
Kyle Willis went to the ER when his face started swelling and his head began to ache. He received prescriptions for antibiotics and pain medications. Because Willis couldn’t afford both, he chose the pain medications. HUH??? That may be a little RED FLAG. The patient chose the pain meds over the antibiotics that would have cured him of his infection. So this guy made a choice of pain meds over antibiotics. The LEFTIES just lost their blame insurance on that one.

Illegal Worker Immigrants Cost the US $4.2 Billion in Tax Credits
So illegals don’t cost the United States anything, eh?
Let alone the costs and burdens to schools and hospitals, add another $4.2 billion in tax credits that were amazingly collected by illegals through a tax loophole. President Barack Obama loves to rail about the corporate jet tax loophole, how come Obama isn’t doing anything to close money going to illegal workers? Think this is a new phenomenon? Five years ago, illegals collected $1 billion from the “additional child tax credit.
Undocumented workers collected $4.2 billion in a certain tax credit last year, up from less than $1 billion five years ago, according to a new audit.
The report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration looked only at a tax benefit known as the Additional Child Tax Credit, a refundable credit meant for working families. The audit found that as a result of vague U.S. law — as well as an expansion of the tax credit in stimulus legislation and other measures — the number of illegal workers collecting the money has skyrocketed.

President Obama Called for Congress to skip the “political posturing” in Weekly Address … Now Only if Obama Would Do the Same
More from the Hypocrite and Chief … Do as I say, not as I do.
Today Barack Obama called for Congress to stop the “political posturing” and pass bills to fund US transportation programs. First, Obama needs to stop his game playing. If President Zero is to have any credibility Obama needs to stop his childish game playing like scheduling his Jobs speech in front of a joint session of Congress on the very time and day that a GOP Presidential candidate debate had long been planned. Obama’s little, small, shameless stunt backfired on his in a major way and not only showed just how “lost in smallness” he is, showed that the GOP Speaker has more clout than the Prez. Way to diminish the Office Barack.
Wasn’t Obama $787 billion stimulus package supposed to pay for shovel ready infrastructure projects? So we are going to spend even more money the US does not have to do the very same thing that Obama’s failed stimulus did? NO, NO MORE!!! Obama said in his Weekly Address, “This isn’t a Democratic or a Republican issue – it’s an American issue.” Some one needs to say this … SHUT UP MR. PRESIDENT. Sorry, but there is nothing about you that is not political or partisan. You are all about “blue” states and “red” states … YOU HAVE BEEN A DISASTER FOR THE UNITED STATES. As stated at Jammie Wearing Fool, how you could have kept a straight face during the above Weekly Address shows the Presidents adept ability to lie to the American people.
In his weekly address, the president said a failure to pass a surface transportation bill would “put a stop to highway construction, bridge repair, [and] mass transit systems.”
“Usually, renewing this transportation bill is a no-brainer,” Obama said in his weekly address. “In fact, Congress has renewed it seven times over the last two years. But thanks to political posturing in Washington, they haven’t been able to extend it this time – and the clock is running out.”
The president said “almost 1 million workers could be in danger of losing their jobs over the next year” if Congress delays funding for too long.
However, is there any reason why anyone should listen to Obama? If he is calling for more high speed rail and the same old tired infrastructure spending, we have heard this before. Obama’s policies on the economy have failed. FAILED MISERABLY!!!
No sooner had President Barack Obama shocked the political world with a gloomy economic forecast — projecting 9.1 percent unemployment for this year and a re-election-killing 9 percent for 2012 — than the dismal August jobs report arrived showing no gain in non-farm payrolls. That’s right, no gain at all. Private jobs increased a scant 17,000, while hours worked and wages actually declined. Obama’s economic policies have failed.
Barack Obama is a shameless, political, partisan hack. The likes that we have never seen and hopefully will never see again. Obama has been an abject failure and it is him and him alone as to why the economy gained zero jobs in August 2011 and the why the Employment Index has fallen to an all-time low.

First Black President Has Highest Black Unemployment Rate in 27 Years at 16.7%
The historic election of Barack Obama continues to reap historic moments … Unemployment rate among Blacks at 16.7% and a 27 year high. Hey Black America, “How’s that ‘Hopey, Changey’ stuff working out for you?” Do some blacks have buyer’s remorse?
Unemployment rate among Blacks at 16.7% and a 27 year high thanks to Obama
Today’s dismal job numbers courtesy of President ZERO’s economic polices were disastrous for Americans as NO JOBS were created in August, 2011. However, it was none more catastrophic than to Black Americans where their unemployment rate rose to a 27 year high at 16.7%. I bet Black America thought things were going to be so much different for them when Barack Obama was elected in 2008.
Barack Obama was going to help her pay her gas and mortgage … What about a job Peggy?
The August jobs report was dismal for plenty of reasons, but perhaps most striking was the picture it painted of racial inequality in the job market.
Black unemployment surged to 16.7% in August, its highest level since 1984, while the unemployment rate for whites fell slightly to 8%, the Labor Department reported.
“This month’s numbers continue to bear out that longstanding pattern that minorities have a much more challenging time getting jobs,” said Bill Rodgers, chief economist with the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University.
Black unemployment has been roughly double that of whites since the government started tracking the figures in 1972.
In the 2008 election, 95% of black men and 96% of black woman voted for Barack Obama. Overall, 95% of blacks voted for Obama. Do you think any of them thought that their plight would have been worse when Obama was elected the first black President? If GWB was in office, he would have been called a racist with such high, epoch black unemployment numbers. Any Republican would have been called uncaring of blacks and out of touch with black minorities. So what do they say when their hand picked Savior is in office and has made matters worse for them?
Seriously, how does a black voter actually vote for Obama in 2012? Do they really want four more years of near 17% unemployment, no jobs and food stamps? Really? Blacks really need to take a serious look at things and realize it is not the Tea Party that is their enemy, it might just be the political party that takes their vote for granted no matter what color the President is.
