Barack Obama … One of the Most Polarizing President EVER … The Most Polarizing During Third Year in Office

Barack Obama sets another record … the most polarizing President ever during a third year in office. How does a polarizing President warrant 4 more years? 

According to a recent Gallup poll, Barack Obama is one of the most polarizing Presidents ever. Obama’s 68% polarization gap is the 4th highest rating dating back to the  Eisenhower administration.  Also, Obama’s 3rd year in office from 2011-2012 of 68% ranks as the highest of all time by 9 points. Wait until 2012-2013, an election year when the polarization numbers will get even worse. As stated at the Politco, Obama’s numbers are already high, they can only get worse in an election year. How does that lead to an Obama second term?

2011 Is Most Polarized Third Year by a Wide Margin

The 68-point gap between partisans’ approval ratings of Obama last year is nine points higher than that for any other president’s third year. George W. Bush had the previous high for a third year. The list of third-year averages underscores the point that the highly polarized ratings are a more recent phenomenon, with four of the last five presidents at the top of the list.

Let us not forget that Barack Obama promised he would be the first post-partisan President.

UPDATE I: For those on the LEFT who still can’t comprehend that Obama is the most polarizing President ever, it took Obama no time at all for him to be the most devisive President in history. For the GWB delusional syndrome challenged, answer the following questions. We already know that Obama is the most partisan President in the year of Presidency, however …

1. Who was the most partisan President ever in first year of Presidency?
2. Who was the most partisan President ever in second year of Presidency?

The answer to both, Barack Hussein Obama

Obamanomics: The Final Pathetic GDP for 2011 is … 1.7% … Oh Yeah, Let’s Give Obama 4 More Years

Obamanomics has provided us the final pathetic GDP of 2011 … 1.7%.

More disappointing economic numbers under Obamanomics. Not only was the 2.8% 4th quarter GDP under the expected 3%. Also, personal consumption growth of 2.0% were below expectations of 2.4%. The GDP price index only grew by 0.4%, well below expectations of 1.9%.

That’s the final, pathetic growth number for 2011.

From the just-released GDP report:

Real GDP increased 1.7 percent in 2011 (that is, from the 2010 annual level to the 2011 annual level), compared with an increase of 3.0 percent in 2010.

Check out the main reason as to why the GDP tanked. Funny how government spending has a way of artificially making things look better than they really are. However, eventually the government spending runs dry. As stated at Wizbang, blame it on Rio government spending.

It says that all of the things you associate with positive economic developments (exports, consumer spending, et al) rose. And this is good. However, the second half of that sentence tells you all you need to know to discuss our economic woes directly and in plain English: Those gains were offset primarily by… wait for it…

•Local Government Spending
•State Government Spending
•Federal Government Spending

Are you joking, these are hardly the economic numbers that one gives 4 more years to an incumbent President. 1.7% GDP for 2011. That is down nearly half from 2010′s 3.0% GDP. During all this Obama has the nerve to tell us that the economy is getting better. However, in Obama in Wonderland where us is down and left is right, Obama will tell the American people that all is good. The fact of the matter is, the Obama recovery is a disaster.

Green Energy Hypocrisy: Barack Obama Leaves Event Promoting Clean Energy in Motorcade of 22 Fossil Fuel Gas Hogs

Green Energy Hypocrisy: Barack Obama Leaves Event Promoting Clean Energy in Motorcade of 22 Fossil Fuel Gas Hogs

Classic from the Hypocrite in Chief … From the files of you just can’t make this stuff up comes the hypocrisy of Obama and the LEFT promoting “green”, clean energy while driving around in fossil fuel gas hogs leaving the carbon foot print the size of Sasquatch.

Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit

On January 26, 2012, President Obama visited a Las Vegas UPS plant. Stimulus subsidy for said UPS plant to purchase natural-gas-powered trucks: 5.6 million dollars. Stimulus subsidy for North Las Vegas green energy plant that laid off 200 workers yesterday: 5.9 million dollars. Using taxpayer dollars to leave an event promoting clean-energy vehicles in a motorcade of twenty-two fossil-fueled vehicles: Priceless.

Every wonder why there is no market for clean energy and these government subsidized green energy companies, because those promoting it do not even believe in it. Why is it that the very people, whether they be Obama or those in the private sector who cry “green” energy are the very ones who are the most wasteful. have multiple homes and fly private jets? Hmm?

Robert Hegyes, Actor who Played Juan Epstein on ‘Welcome Back Kotter’ Dies at Age 60

Robert Hegyes, the actor who played Juan Epstein on one of my favorite comedies of all times, ‘Welcome Back Kotter” has died. Hegyes, who played Puerto Rican wheeler-dealer Juan Luis Pedro Phillipo de Huevos Epstein and one of the “SweatHogs” on the 1970s classic “Welcome Back Kotter,” back in the day when comedies could be un-PC and were actually funny, dies at the age of 60 of an apparent heart attack.

Obit from USA Today:

THe was born in Perth Amboy and grew up in Metuchen, the eldest child of a Hungarian father and Italian mother.

He attended Rowan University, formerly Glassboro State College, in southern New Jersey, before heading to New York City after graduation. He returned to Rowan on several occasions to teach master classes in acting, a university spokesman said Thursday.

“He was a good friend to the university,” spokesman Joe Cardona said.

Hegyes continued to act after Kotter and was a regular on Cagney & Lacey. He also guest-starred in shows including Diagnosis Murder and The Drew Carey Show.

In honor of the debates, we have included the Youtube VIDEO of the Sweathogs debate. Welcome Back Kotter, and its cast  John Travolta, Ron Palillo, Gabe Kaplan, Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs and Robert Hegyes were brilliant in a time when comedy was comedy and there was no such thing as “reality TV” on TV.

Goodbye Robert Hegyes, Rest in Peace … signed, Epstein’s Mother’s doctor.

Another Obama Green Energy Company Fails … Ener1 Received $118.5 Million Stimulus Grant Files for Bankruptcy

Another One Bites the Dust …

Ener1 received a $118.5 million stimulus grant and was supposed to double its production capacity and create 1,700 jobs, instead it is filing for bankruptcy. The company was supposed to made batteries for electric cars. A funny thing happened on the way to the Obama hand picked business winners and losers, free market capitalism … there is no market or demand for this product. Didn’t Barack Obama in this years SOTU just say he was going to continue to fund the car battery industry with government money and not cede it to China? Oops. Yet more tax payer dollars wasted.

Add another to the Obama back failed green energy companies

An Indiana-based energy-storage company, whose subsidiary received a $118.5 million stimulus grant from the Energy Department, filed for bankruptcy Thursday.

Ener1 is asking a federal bankruptcy court in New York to approve a plan to restructure the company’s debt and infuse $81 million in equity funding.

“This was a difficult, but necessary, decision for our company,” Ener1 CEO Alex Sorokin said in a news release. “We are extremely pleased to have the strong support of our primary investors and lenders to substantially reduce the company’s debt.”

The VP had previously visited the Indiana company and touted it as a new chapter in American history for energy and business; however, the only chapter it turned out to be was Chapter 11.

Red State may have a point, another Obama hand picked company has met the reverse Midas touch of “The One”. Erick says, look out Master Lock, all who have stock in it may want to sell.

Add Ener1 to the list of other Obama tapped green energy companies that have been given stimulus money that have failed miserably. NRO has the present tally:  Solyndra, SunPower, BrightSource, and Tonopah Solar Energy. So far that is.
