Gallup Survey Paints Grim Picture for the Obama Administration for Jobs and Unemployment

The Hill reports that a Gallup survey shows ‘sharp deterioration in job market’ in February. What, you mean the economy is not as good as Obama, his minions and the MSM would like you to believe? Obamanomics is hardly the answer no matter how much it is spun. Eventually, it catches up to you. When a President never seriously focuses on jobs in any kind of non-socialist, government intrusive manner … the chickens come home to roost.

The survey firm said seasonal factors — including job loss by seasonal workers hired over the holidays — could be responsible for the dip.

Regardless of what the government reports, Gallup’s unemployment and underemployment measures show a sharp deterioration in job market conditions since mid-January,” the firm said in a statement accompanying the release of the data.

Gallup also found that 10 percent of American workers have part-time positions despite wanting full-time work.

“The mid-February reading means the percentage of Americans who can only find part-time work remains close to its high since Gallup began measuring employment status in January 2010,” the polling firm said.

Rising gas prices and even doctored unemployment numbers on the rise as well. All this while the MSM Obama sycophants have been droning on for days about how his chances are improving. Not so fast … $4 to 5$ a gallon gas and and job market that is not even close to being as strong as what Obama and the MSM claim has an uncanny knack of lowering an incumbent President’s job approval rating.

Oh yea, and then there is Obamacare. You remember when Obama promised that it would lower the cost of health insurance premiums. Guess what, it does not. As reported at Gallup, ‘Health Costs, Gov’t Regulations Curb Small Business Hiring’.

UT/TT GOP Primary Poll: Santorum up Big with 45% … Gingrich a Distant Second with 18%

Don’t mess with Santorum in Texas …

Rick Santorum appears to be on a roll. He is up in Michigan and Ohio; however, he is blowing away the competition in the Lone Star state of Texas. Sanotum has a commanding lead in a recent UT/TT poll with 45% of the vote. Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney are a distant second and third with 18% and 16%, respectively. Although the polling is considered volatile, for the time being Santorum is up big in Texas.

Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania has a commanding lead among Republican presidential candidates in Texas, according to a new University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll.

Santorum would get the votes of 45 percent of the respondents if the election were held today, according to the survey. The other three candidates in the GOP race — former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas — are clustered well behind. Gingrich got 18 percent, Romney received 16 percent and Paul garnered 14 percent.

As pointed out by The Blaze, the Texas poll also indicates that all candidates have a significant lead over Barack Obama in a head to head match up

Team Obama to Use Barack & Michelle’s Daughters for Politcal Ads and Reelection … Really Mr. President … “Political Assets”?

Talk about desperation … it appears Barack Obama is willing to exploit his daughters in order to win reelection in 2012. Seriously, Barack and Michelle Obama have no issue with their children being used as “political assets”? The one decent thing Obama has done since he has been President is to shield his daughters from politics. Now, with his bacon on the line in 2012 he is actually going to use them to present some type of wholesome family optic. How pathetic.

A new Internet ad by the president’s reelection campaign features a portrait of the first family asking supporters to “help the Obamas stand up for working Americans.” The appeal, a departure from the typical Obama messaging, provides an early glimpse of the role the president’s wife and daughters are likely to play in his campaign.

In the months to come, political strategists expect to see the first family used as a political asset.

“The value of the family is enormous,” said Democratic pollster Celinda Lake. “The more you know this family and the more you think of Barack Obama in these terms, the harder it is to vilify him.”

Barack Obama obviously cannot run on his record. Obama cannot run on Obamacare, the $878 billion stimulus, the out of control national debt, his failed green energy agenda, record high gas prices and the slowest economic jobs recovery since the Great Depression. What is a failed first term President to do … exploit the children of course.

Of course the MSM will have yet another slobbering love affair with this image of Family Obama as they try and distract the American people from the economic horrors and socialist agenda that Obama has inflicted upon us during his first term in Office. Do we really think that the bias media is going to treat the Obama girls like they did Sarah Palin’s children and savage them? Does a cutesy political ad with Barack, Michelle, Malia and Sasha really change our view of Obamacare and the rest of Obama’s socialist agenda? Hardly.

Maybe the ad can show the first family on the 16 vacations to date in places like Martha’s Vineyard, Spain, Hawaii and other places of Liefe Styles of the Rich and Famous.
