GALLUP: Barack Obama’s Every Shrinking 2013 Job Approval Rating … Subtitled, Honey I Shrunk My Job Approval
Hmm, I sense a trend here … subtitled, ‘Honey, I Shrunk My Job Approval,’ or ‘Ive Fallen and I Can’t Get Up’.
President Barack Obama saw not only his job approval rating consistently fall in 2013, Obama saw his credibility do so as well as more and more Americans no longer think that “the Obamamessiah” is trustworthy. Barack Obama has earned his sinking job approval numbers which show no signs of really rebounding in 2014. Much of Obama’s decline in job approval comes from self inflicted wounds like the continuous scandals from his presidency like IRS-gate, NSA-gate and Benghazi-gate to name just a few. However, the biggest issue Obama will have to deal with is the Obamacare lie. That is not going away any time soon and Americans are going to be feeling the pain of this unpopular law and Obama’s signature piece of legislation for months and years to come. Obama’s poll numbers also have a reverse-coattails effect for Democrats in 2014 as Obama is more of and anchor weighing candidates running for election than a benefit.
President Barack Obama wrapped up 2013 with an average 41% approval rating in December, unchanged from November. However, his monthly job approval declined steadily through most of 2013, including a three-percentage-point drop in March.
Gallup’s three-day rolling averages of Obama’s job approval rating are especially helpful in identifying the events that likely contributed to his overall decline in popularity.
It has been less common to see sustained periods of significant decline during the normal course of a presidency, such as what Obama experienced this year, his fifth in office. The few examples of these from recent presidencies are.

Phil Everly, One Half of the Famed Everly Brothers, Dies at Age 74
Phil Everly, Dead at the age of 74 … Rest in Peace.
Phil Everly, the legendary singer, who along with his brother Don, made up the iconic singing duo, The Everly Brother died Friday at the Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease brought on after a lifetime of cigarette smoking. He was 74. The music icons, the Everly Bothers, were highly influential with other such recording acts as the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Byrds and countless other rock, folk and country singers. Phil Everly also wrote Linda Ronstadt’s biggest hits of her career in 1975 with her recording of “When Will I Be Loved.” Rolling Stone named the Everly Brothers are the most important vocal duo in rock. The The Everly Brothers were among the first 10 performers inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. Phil Everly will truly be missed and so will the fantastic sound of the Everly Brothers. They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore. Thank you so much for the music.
Singer Phil Everly Dies but his Music will live on Forever … Rest in Peace
Legendary pop singer Phil Everly, who together with his brother, Don, formed one of the 1960s most popular pop duos, died Friday, his wife, Patti Everly, told the Los Angeles Times. He was 74.
“We are absolutely heartbroken,” she told the newspaper, adding that Everly’s death from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was brought on after a lifetime of cigarette smoking. “He fought long and hard.”
The Everly Brothers charted nearly three dozen hits in their heyday from the late ’50s through the early ’60s. Some of their most notable songs – “Cathy’s Clown,” “Wake Up Little Susie,” “Bye Bye Love,” “When Will I Be Loved” and “All I Have to Do is Dream” – have become pop staples and influenced major acts such as the Beatles, the Beach Boys and the Byrds, the Times reported.
In all, their career spanned five decades, although they performed separately from 1973 to 1983. In their heyday between 1957 and 1962, they had 19 top 40 hits.
The two broke up amid quarrelling in 1973 after 16 years of hits, then reunited in 1983, “sealing it with a hug,” Phil Everly said.
And the song that launched their career … The Everly Brothers: Live – Bye Bye Love, 1957

Alabama Crimson Tide Mom (Michelle Pritchett) Goes all Red Neck on Oklahoma Sooner Fan at Sugar Bowl (VIDEO) (Update: Mom Flips OU Fans the Double Bird)
WOW, can I just be the first to remind everyone … its just a game and you are not playing it.
Michelle Pritchett, the Bama, ‘Roll Tide’ mom that is seen in the video below going after some OU Sooner fans and going all redneck at Thursday night’s Sugar Bowl said that she did so because the Oklahoma fans were taunting her and then crossed the line and taunted her 16 year old son. Hmm, that may be true or not, but the manner in how this was handled could not have been more wrong. She is actually lucky she did not harm anyone or get injured herself. Pritchett regrets that the situation got out of hand but says that if she had to do it again.
In the video, you can see Pritchett jump onto a group of Oklahoma fans and then begin kicking them while fans at the game tried to pull her away.
Pritchett said a phone interview with Yellow Hammer that she regrets how things escalated and wanted to apologize to “Bama Nation.” She goes on to say that if she had to do it again, she would.
She also said that she wasn’t intoxicated. Pritchett admits to having a couple of drinks, but claims she was not drunk at the time of the incident.
You’ve heard of the Lambeau leap, Looks like we have the “redneck” leap now
The insanity really begins at the 33 second mark
This incident brings to mind two things. One, what a double standard; and Two, what ever happened to individuals acting with any civility at sporting events anymore. No wonder parents no longer want to bring their children to games anymore.
First, who thinks that if a man, a dad, did the same thing that he would not have been arrested on assault charges? Two, what the hell are people thinking these days? And I am talking on both sides. The OU fans for obviously crossing a line and taunting another individuals and the mom for not being mature enough to just act like an adult. The fine art of trash talking does not include cursing, vulgar comments, threats or abusive language or gestures. Sadly, a clueless and ignorant society has forgot that.
Before anyone wants to jump to the defense of this was a mamma bear protecting her cub they might want to take a look to the video below where Alabama mom is giving the double bird to the OU Sooner fans that were giving her a hard time. Yup, real mature.

Barack Obama’s Half-Brother, Mark Obama Ndesandjo, ‘Floored’ About President’s Lying About Meeting Him … Why, Obama Lies About Everything?
File this one under, Mark Obama Ndesandjo, learns that his half brother really is The Lion Lying King …
As reported at NRO, Barack Obama’s half brother, Mark Obama Ndesandjo was surprised to hear that his brother, “The One”, had lied about meeting him. Mark Obama Ndesandjo told Laura Ingraham (Listen to interview HERE) that he was “floored by it”. Ndesandjo was on the Laura Ingraham radio show to promote his new book coming out in February.
Mark Obama Ndesandjo said he was surprised to hear his half-brother President Barack Obama say they had only recently met for the first time.
“I was floored by it — I don’t know why he said it,” Ndesandjo said to Laura Ingraham, adding that he had met the president several times over the years and still isn’t sure what his motivation was for making the claim. “I think he was being president and was not being my brother,” Ndesandjo said.
When Ingraham pointed out that Obama doesn’t spend very much time with his extended family and seems to prefer the company of celebrities such as Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Ndesandjo said she “had a point.”

Duck Dynasty (Duck Commnader) Teaming Up with Mossberg to Launch Their Owin Line of Guns (VIDEO)
What’s duck hunting without a gun?
Duck Commander and Mossberg have teamed up to launch its own line of guns for 2014. The gun line will have 12 types of guns that will feature 9 shotguns, a semi-automatic rifle and a semi-automatic pistol, what the gun phobia people referred to as “military style” weapons. Let’s go out on a limb and say, these are going to fly off the shelves. Let me rephrase that … this is going to be beyond HUGE!!!
The family-owned business at the center of the hit TV show “Duck Dynasty” has launched its own line of guns.
Mossberg says the Duck Commander guns will come in a “waterfowl pattern” camouflage design, though not all of them are intended for duck hunting. They also bear the Duck Commander logo, of a duck in flight.
The pistol and one of the rifles have military-style designs with large capacity magazines holding at least 25 rounds. The rifle has some of the features of an assault rifle, but with a relatively low .22 caliber.
Mossberg’s Web site says its .22-caliber pistol is “perfect for small game, plinking, target shooting — or clearing cottonmouths out of your duck blind.”
Mossberg’s Web site says the firearms will all come with an American flag bandana “like the one worn by Willie,” a character on the show.
Mossberg® Signs Agreement with Duck Commander®:
North Haven, CT – O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc, America’s oldest family-owned and operated firearms manufacturer, has entered into a long-term agreement with the Robertson family and the hugely-popular Duck Commander franchise. Best-known as the stars of the top-rated reality TV series, Duck Dynasty, the Robertson clan lead by family patriarch, Phil, has expanded their Louisiana-based call-making company into a national phenomenon and A&E Television Networks™ most-
watched series. Terms of the multi-year agreement will include focus on the family’s passion of waterfowl hunting, promotion of the shooting sports and family values as well as a series of Mossberg “Duck Commander” firearms. (read the rest HERE)
