Obama Job Approval Continues to Slip, 50% - 44% According to Gallup, Correction … Under 50%, Also Rasmussen & Quinnipiac Polls

How low can he go? All Polls show that Obama job approval has hit the skids. Some polling shows that Obama has dipped below 50% for first time.

President Barack Obama’s job approval ratings continue to fall. According to Gallup, only 50% now approve of Obama’s job performance. That is down from 68% in January 2009.

In other bad polling news for The One, only 47% think President Obama’s policies are “about right” in promoting efforts to aid the black community. That is down from the 64% only a year ago.

The Rasmussen Daily Tracking poll for November 14, 2009 has Barack Obama at -14, OUCH! This is the fifth day in a row that Obama had a negative double digit rating and the -14 represents the lowest Presidential approval index of Obama’s Administration. Rasmussen poll also shows that only 46% approve of Obama while 52% are against.

Rev Jesse Jackson Sighting: ‘You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man’

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water … there is a Reverend Jesse Jackson sighting.

The Reverend Jackson has once again shown he is a divider, not a uniter. What would this man ever do for a living if races actually got along in peace and harmony. Sadly, we may never know as this race-baiter will see fit that it never occurs.

Rev. Jackson, does it also make you a black man if you want to “cut his nuts out?”

A note to all the black people in America who have health insurance that you have no issue with, the Rev. Jesse Jackson says that “You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.” Really? What would they be called Rev. Jackson, a racist? Or as The Other McCain opines, “Congratulations to this overnight Caucasian! He is now a man who can join the Klan. Send the word to Senator Bob Byrd”.

The remark stirred a murmur at the reception, held by the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Foundation as part of a series of events revolving around the 25th anniversary of Jackson’s run for president. Several CBC members were in attendance, including Chairwoman Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), who’d introduced Jackson.

Davis, who is running for governor, is the only black member of Congress from Alabama.

If you don’t vote for Obamacare, you’ll change from being a black man

Who knew that is you did not vote for Obamacare that you could not be black. Does that mean if Artur Davis’ Democratic primary opponent, Ron Sparks, who is white would vote for the health care bill that it would make him white?

From Another Black Conservative … “Leave it to Jesse to do his part to make sure no blacks wander off the white liberal plantation.  Imagine that, the black skin the good Lord gave you isn’t good enough unless you buy into socialized medicine”.

Obama’s Hope & Change … US National Debt Hits Record High over $12 Trillion … Typical Tax & Spend Liberal

CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN … The US National Debt topped the $12 trillion mark yesterday. That’s 12 trillion with a “T”. It is another record high for the debt and another crowning jewel for Obamanomics.

This latest milestone in the ever-rising journey of the National Debt comes less than eight months after it hit $11 trillion for the first time. The latest high-point is not unexpected, considering the federal deficit for the just-ended 2009 fiscal year hit an all-time high at $1.42-trillion – more than triple the previous year’s record high.

Much of the increase in the deficit and debt is attributed to government spending outpacing revenue – both exacerbated by the recession and the government response to it – including hundreds of billions in bailouts and stimulus spending and tax cuts along with decreased tax revenues due to rising unemployment.

How is that “Hope & Change” looking now America? US National debt now at a record high over $12 trillion … that’s $38,974.34 for every man, woman and child in America.

After all his promises, after all his teleprompter speeches, after all his talk of change, Barack Hussein Obama is nothing more that a super-sized tax and spend liberal. Make that socialist.

Caption Contest: O-BOW-MA GATE … Barack Obama Bows to Emperor of Japan

Back by popular demand … the following picture of Barack Obama bowing over the weekend to the Emperor of Japan might be one of the most fitting pics ever for submission to the caption contest.

CAPTION CONTEST – Obama Bowing Edition

Is he bowing dear or is it the Hunch Back of Barack Obama?

Good Lord, I have never had anyone be this subservient and apologetic. Looks like Obama is at it again, apologizing for the US when they have done nothing to apologise for.

Of course the Obama Administration tried to deflect the protocol gaffe by saying that he was following protocol. This coming from the same people who said that Obama did not bow to the Saudi King.

The LEFT can drink the Kool-Aid all they want and defend the indefensible. We have become accustomed to that. However, the fact remains as stated at Hot Air … a Japan expert to ABC: Yes, Obama’s bow made him look like an idiot.

So much of an idiot, in fact, that according to Tapper’s source, at least one Japanese paper isn’t running the photo out of embarrassment. This tool actually groveled himself into a minor international incident.

From the Gateway Pundit and the Japanese Manners Book, Obama’s “Saikeirei” Bow Was Sign of Apology & It Was Mean

Provide your own caption … have at it folks.

They Lie … Obama Administration Defends Obama Bow to Japanese Emperor with Protocol Fallacy

Obama senior officials fabricate protocol to justify Obama’s bow.

This is priceless … Obama Administration is trying to tell us that Barack Hussein Obama bowed to the Emperor of Japan because The One was simply observing protocol. WHAT PROTOCOL? Or better yet, whose protocol? Unnamed senior Obama officials now see fit to flat out lie to the American public that is it US protocol to for a US President to bow to a foreign leader or monarch. Maybe they would like to cite that protocol?

A senior administration official said President Barack Obama was simply observing protocol when he bowed to Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko upon arriving at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on Saturday.

“I think that those who try to politicize those things are just way, way, way off base,” the official said. “He observes protocol. But I don’t think anybody who was in Japan – who saw his speech and the reaction to it, certainly those who witnesses his bilateral meetings there – would say anything other than that he enhanced both the position and the status of the U.S., relative to Japan. It was a good, positive visit at an important time, because there’s a lot going on in Japan.”

As the Weekly Standard states, “Why won’t that “senior administration official” come out from behind the curtain and make that assertion in his own name? Because it’s nonsense.”

However, until Barack Hussein Obama no President had ever bowed down before another leader. Protocol, Hardly! Barack Obama’s greatest bows:

Michael Goldfarb from the Weekly Standard called the bow “a violation of more than two centuries of tradition and protocol holding that American presidents never bow before royalty.”

Clarence Feldman, in commentary for American Thinker, wrote “I am quite certain that this is not the protocol, and is most unbecoming a president of the United States.”

Check out how the rest of the world greeted the Emperor of Japan. Not a bow to be found.

Liz Cheney on FNS: Whoever Leads GOP in 2012 They Will have to be Able to Undo a lot of the Damage that this President has Done

This morning on Fox News Sunday Liz Cheney spoke out and made some blunt and honest statements regarding the horrendous policies of Barack Obama. It is true, who ever leads the GOP in 2013 will have a plethora of fires to put out caused by the socialist agenda of Barack Obama.

It is only a matter of time though as the Gateway Pundit says before Liz Cheney feels what it means to be “Palinized” by the LEFT. Talking the truth against The Chosen One, Barack Obama means she will be branded an extremist, racist and marginalized.

“In terms of 2012, what ever Republicans takes the mantel of our Party in 2012. You know they’re going to have to be able to address these incredible grave challenges we face as a nation. In my view they will have to be able to undo a lot of the damage that this President has done to our national security, to our economy, to our health care system and to our standing around the world.” (Liz Cheney)

Imagine that Barack Obama … the next GOP President will be inheriting your mess. However, rest assured they will not be passing the buck at every opportunity and blaming the past President instead of pulling up their boot straps and taking responsibility to responsibly help “We the People.”

An Inconvenient Health Care Cost Truth from CMS: Obamacare and Wellness Medicine Programs … In the End, It Cost More

An Inconvenient Health Care Cost Truth …

Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of their minions and state run media have said from the beginning that Obamacare healthcare reform would lower health care costs. They also claimed that slashing $500 billion from Medicare would have no effect on seniors. Oh contraire … Seniors and those concerned with rising health care costs, be very afraid.

It won’t cost trillions of dollars and it will reduce costs

However, from CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) comes this “Inconvenient Truth” via The Politico … the legislation the House passed last week would increase costs over the next decade by $289 billion. By 2019, health costs would rise to 21.1 percent of GDP compared to 20.8 under current law. (pdf report HERE)

With the exception of the proposed reductions in Medicare payment updates for institutional providers, the provisions of H.R. 3962 would not have a significant impact on future health care cost growth rates. In addition, the longer-term viability of the Medicare update reductions is doubtful,” the report said.

It will lower costs, not raise them and I am not taking money from seniors, really

In other words, outside of Medicare payment cuts to hospitals, the bill doesn’t curb increasing health care costs. And even the Medicare payment cuts will be difficult to sustain.

The analysis is more bad news for Democrats, who are facing increasing criticism that their reforms don’t do enough to control costs. Republicans released the analysis and jumped on the news.

It would appear that Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama have an Inconvenient Truth of their own … wellness programs cost more than treating the disease. This analysis is from a longstanding independent technical advisor to the Executive Branch and Congress. But I supposed they will be demonized and called a racist for providing bad news against Obama’s healthcare reform policy.

Barack Obama Was For Military Commission Tribunals Against KSM before He was Against Them … What Happened to the Full Military Trial?

Barack Obama was for Military Tribunals, before he was against them. So what changed from 2006? Will Americans question Obama and his Administration why he has done a reversal of fortunes on this issue?

Does this look like a common crime committed by common criminals?

Remember when Senator Barack Hussein Obama said that KSM would get a full military trail with all the bells and whistles on 9/27/06?

“Ironically those are the guys who are going to get real military procedures because they are going to be charged by the government.”

It was the debate for Military Commissions Act of 2006 to authorize trials by military commissions for violations of the law of war and act of war against the United States. The underlying bill that Obama refers to below was HR-6166 and passed and signed into law on 10/17/06.

You will hear opponents of this amendment say that it will give all kind of rights to terrorist, masterminds like Khalid Sheik Mohammed. I want to repeat that is not true. The irony of the underlying bill as it is written, is that someone like KSM is going to get a full military trial with all the bells and whistles.

Because the feeling is, he is guilty of a war crime and to do otherwise might violate the Geneva Convention.

 Hat Tip: Breitbart TV

Atlas Shrugs provides some compelling visuals as to why to treat these terrorist not as common criminals, but was terrorist crimes against America.

Friends who are surviving 911 family members and firefighters, including Debra Burlingame and Tim Brown, have started a campaign to pressure the Obama administration to back out of bringing the terrorists to NY for trial. 

It has only been a couple of days and already they have over 80,000 signatures on a letter to Obama. You can find the letter at http://www.thebravest.com.

Barack Obama Losing the Independents Vote with his Radical LEFT Agenda … Change No One Wanted to Believe In

As Obama’s poll numbers sink, will The One shift right, or march himself, the Democrat Party and America over the cliff? What do the polls show? There is not one critical problem facing the country on which the president has positive ratings. How ya like that “CHANGE” now?

Barack Obama and Democrats are not in trouble in the polls and in the upcoming 2010 and 2012 elections because Republicans are strongly against Obama and his radical agenda. The Obamamessiah and the Democrat party find them self in trouble because INDEPENDENTS are running away from The One and Democrats as fast as they can. The far LEFT, socialist agenda of Obama is hardly what they voted for.

Barack Obama won the Independent vote 52% to 44% over McCain; however, Obama would be hard pressed to get any where near that Independent vote at the present. In the end, Obama by the numbers is poor all the way around.

The economy is the single most important issue to the American public, yet Obama’s answers have done nothing but drive up the federal deficits to record levels, increase unemployment to over 10% and promise nothing but future taxes. 45% of American voters rate Obama’s performance with the economy as poor.  Little by little, the longer Obama is in office, the more “We the People” do not want to hear that it’s GWB’s fault. Obama owns the economy and it is his to fix. That is why he became President. Ultimately, The buck stops with Obama and the childish blame game must come to an end. Man up, or get out.

The WSJ article suggests that with dipping poll numbers and an increasing unemployment number, that Obama would be wise to shift right. However, Obama continues to ignore the will of the people as he forces through his far left agenda in spite of slipping polls.
