Barack Obama Lowest Approval Ratings … Independents Fleeing in Mass
Barack Obama, the Disappointer in Chief … Obama loses support of Independents.
Over the weekend at the Tea Party Convention in Nashville, TN keynote speaker Sarah Palin asked the audience and America … “How’s that hope-y, change-y stuff working out for you?” According to the most recent polling, not well.
A new Marist College poll is out and it is more terrible news for President Barack Obama. 47% of American voters disapprove of the President’s handling of his job as compared to 44% approve.
The full polling cross tabs can be found HERE.
Obviously Republican and Democrat support of Barack Obama is polarised; however, it is the Independent vote, the individual that does not belong to either party that is the real story in this and all polls lately. They are running from Obama and his liberal policies as fast as they can. They are obviously disappointed in the change that Obama has brought to Washington, DC. Obama has only a 29% job approval among Independents.
Perhaps, particularly concerning for Mr. Obama is the drop in support among Independents. For the first time since taking office, a majority of Independents — 57% — disapproves of how he is doing in the role. 29% approve, and 14% are unsure.
Independent voters see Pres. Obama in a negative light by a nearly 2-1 margin.
Independent voters see Pres. Obama in a negative light by a nearly 2-1 margin, according to a new Marist College survey, while almost half of voters say he has failed to meet their expectations.

George W. Bush, Miss Me Yet Billboard … Hope & Change, eh?
It is not an Internet photoshop trick, it is the real deal. A billboard popped up along I-35 near Wyoming, MN, with a huge photo of former President George W. Bush and this question: “Miss Me Yet?” Now the hunt is on to find out who paid for the billboard ad.

Maybe it one of the millions of people who are disappointed with President Obama and not to impressed by his “hopey-changey” campaign promises. The speculation continues as to who has a wit and a sense of humor to do such an act. As Powerline adds, it is a questioned being pondered by more and more Americans every day.
Hat Tip: Breitbart TV
Unemployment up, budget deficits up, government spending up … Barack Hussein Obama’s poll numbers down!

Barack Obama Picks Another Loser … Predicts Colts Will Win Super Bowl … Sides Against New Orleans
If you missed it over the weekend, Barack Obama once again picks a loser … this time Super Bowl style.

What else can I get wrong?
President Barack Obama once again finds himself on the wrong side of history.Talk about the un-Midas touch. Everything this guy touches lately goes to pot. In a pre-Super Bowl game interview with Katie Couric Barack Obama picked the Colts over the Saints. Obama actually did not side with New Orleans? Hmm … imagine if GWB opening went against the City of New Orleans what the MSM would have done.
One wonders whrther they want The One any where near them, he is worse than being on the cover of Sports Illustrated these days. Do Democrats really want Obama camapigning for him with his recent track record of losses? Do so at your own rick.
President Barack Obama says the Indianapolis Colts “have to be favored” in the Super Bowl, even though he has a “soft spot” for the New Orleans Saints.
Obama’s Super Bowl prediction was based on his opinion that the Colts have “perhaps the best quarterback in history.”
“Peyton Manning is unbelievable,” the president told CBS’ Katie Couric during a live pre-game interview.
As we all know, the Saints beat the Colts 31 - 17 last night in Super Bowl XLIV. This follows a long line of other great predisctions, campaigns and sides of issues that Barack Hussein Obama has been on the wrong side of …
Olympic Games to Chicago, Global Warming Conference in Copenhagen, Gov. race in NJ won by Republicans, Gov. race in VA won by Republicans, Massachusetts Senate Race won by Republican Scott Brown, Cap & Trade, Obamacare, etc.

Barack Obama Now Wants Republicans to Join Health Care Debate on TV
Now Mr. President? After a year of preventing Republicans from the health care process, you now want to include them, so what changed? After all this time of claiming to be bi-partisan, now Obama wants the appearance of reaching across the aisle.

Obama still playing games with Americans health care
President Barack Hussein Obama stated in an interview with Katie Couric stated that he wanted to meet with Republicans to discuss health care reform. Oh, and the meeting would be televised and Obama looked forward to hearing Republican ideas.
President Barack Obama is planning to host a televised meeting with Republican and Democratic congressional leaders on health care reform.
The Feb. 25 meeting is an attempt to reach across the aisle but not a signal that the president plans to start over, as Republicans have demanded, a White House official said.
“I want to come back [after the Presidents Day congressional recess] and have a large meeting — Republicans and Democrats — to go through, systematically, all the best ideas that are out there and move it forward,” Obama said in an interview with Katie Couric during CBS’s Super Bowl pre-game show Sunday.
My what a difference the election of Republican Senator from Massachusetts Scott Brown makes. Does anyone think that this “so-called” bi-partisan meeting would be occurring if Dems had not lost the filibuster-proof majority?
Want a road map to health care … START FROM SCRATCH! Actually, Americans want the focus taken off health care and put on jobs. Americans do not trust the Presidents plan to lower costs.

Sarah Palin, SPDS Strikes Again … Palin has the LEFT in the Palm of her Hand
This is what the LEFT is going mental about? Five words written of Palin’s hand … are you serious? This is your Woodward & Bernstein moment?

Hat Tip: The Founding Bloggers
Note to the left: You can read the writing on the hand, or the writing on the wall. Take your pick.
The LEFT is in the midst once again of a delusional meltdown of SPDS (Sarah Palin Delusional Syndrome) compounded by complications of TPDS (Tea Party Delusional Syndrome). This should have been more predicable than the season onset of the flu as Sarah Palin did the Key Note speech this weekend in Nashville, TN for the Tea Party Convention.
During the speech Palin gave some advice to Tea Party folks in attendance and Americans across the country, don’t get bogged down in the small stuff, think big. This noise from the LEFT is less than small stuff, it’s ridiculous.
“Each of us here is living proof that you don’t need a title to make a difference,” said Palin. “Let us not get bogged down in the small squabbles. Let us move on to the big ideas. To do so would be a fitting tribute to Ronald Reagan.”
The folly and hypocrisy of the LEFT knows no bounds.

Who Dat Win the Super Bowl … New Orleans Saints Defeat Indy Colts 31-17
Who dat win that NFL Super Bowl … WHO DAT, WHO DAT!!!
The New Orleans Saints have won Super Bowl XLIV over the Indianapolis Colts 31-17. It is the first Super Bowl win in the teams history. After a history of futility the Saints are the Aints never more.
After falling behind Peyton Manning and the Colts 10-0, the Saints went on to outscore the Cots 31 to 7 over the remainder of the game and equal the largest come from behind victory in Super Bowl history. With the game in the balance and the Saints leading by 7 in the 4th quarter, New Orleans Tracy Porter’s intercepted a Peyton Manning pass and raced 74 yards for a game clinching touchdown.
Congratulation to the city of New Orleans, God only knows the city needed a great victory like this. After 42 years of Saints futility … the New Orleans Saints are Super Bowl Champions.
I can’t even imagine what Bourbon Street will be like tonight.
Let me also say that The Who put on a fantastic half time performance.
UPDATE I: President Barack Obama once again is the kiss of death. Earlier today Barack Obama picked the Indianapolis Colts over the New Orleans Saints to win the Super Bowl.Just like in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts … add Indy to the list of the Obama un-Midas touch.
President Barack Obama said Sunday that the Indianapolis Colts “have to be favored” in the Super Bowl, even though he has a “soft spot” for the New Orleans Saints.

US Lost 20,000 Jobs in Jan ‘10 But the Unemployment Rate Dropped to 9.7% … Alan Greenspan confirmed on Meet the Press that Team Obama has been Cooking the Books.
Last Friday it was reported that the United States lost another 20,000 jobs in the month of January 2010; however, some how with no job creation the unemployment number in the United Sates went from 10% from the previous month down to 9.7%. One might ask exactly how that is possible.
From Judith Apter Klinghoffer at History News Network via The Gateway Pundit comes a possible explanation, today on ‘Meet the Press,’ Alan Greenspan confirmed that Team Obama has been cooking the books.
We all blinked furiously when we read the government’s claim that the number of unemployed rose in January by 20,000 but the unemployment rate fell from 10% to 9.7%. Somebody has obviously been cooking the numbers in a most ingenious manner. On Meet the press, Alan Greenspan explains the absurdity thus:
MR. GREGORY: Dr. Greenspan, one more question about jobs. So you think that unemployment rate goes up again before it comes down?
MR. GREENSPAN: I’m not sure. One of the reasons is the official data on unemployment is a sample and it fluctuates, and–as we observed in, in the January report. If you literally took it seriously as to the exact numbers, there were 784,000 job increase in January. Now, that didn’t happen. And so that what we can expect is a backing and filling. I think we’re going to stay at approximately the 9 to 10 percent level here for a goodly part of the rest of this year with the sole exception of that period when they start to hire a very large number of census workers. Remember, this is the decennial census.
MR. GREGORY: Right.
MR. GREENSPAN: And that’s going to have some positive effect. But it’s very difficult to make the case that unemployment is coming down anytime soon.
Did Sarah Palin Just Challenge Barack Obama in 2012? Run Sarah, Run!
There has been much speculation as to whether former Alaska governor Sarah Palin would run for President in 2012. While providing the keynote speech last night at the Tea Party Convention, many in the audience chanted, RUN SARAH, RUN … According to this report from Fox News.com, the speculation may be over.

While in Nashville, TN at the Tea Party Convention, Sarah Palin told Fox News that she would be willing to take on Barack Obama in 2012.
Sarah Palin has President Obama in her sights, telling FoxNews.com she “would be willing” to challenge him in the 2012 presidential race.
Sarah Palin has President Obama in her sights, telling FoxNews.com she “would be willing” to challenge him in the 2012 presidential race.
The former Alaska governor, in an interview Saturday on the sidelines of the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, said President Obama’s “lack of experience” has held him back his first year in office and that she would put her credentials up against his any day.
“I would be willing to if I believe that it’s right for the country,” Palin said when asked if she would run for president in 2012.
She qualified the statement, adding that she sees “many” other potential candidates who are “in as strong or stronger position than I am to take on the White House and if they’re in a better position than I in three years, I’ll support them.”
However, the former GOP vice presidential nominee told ‘Fox News Sunday’: “I won’t close the door that perhaps could be open for me in the future.”

Incumbent Arlen Specter Wins Democrat Support for PA Senate … Republican Toomay Ahead in Polls
Does the Democrat Party not understand that the 2010 elections are anti-incumbent?
Did the Democrat Party just hand the Pennsylvania Senate seat to the Republicans in 2010? Arlen Specter, the incumbent once Republican now Democrat PA Senator just received the endorsement from the Pennsylvania Democratic Committee. The PNC endorsed 5 term Senator Specter over US Rep. Joe Sestak for the Senate nomination. Does it make sense to endorse the establishment candidate in an environment that is anti-establishment?
The Pennsylvania Democratic Committee on Saturday endorsed Sen. Arlen Specter over Rep. Joe Sestak for the Senate nomination, despite Specter’s recent conversion to the Democrats after 30 years as an elected Republican.
Specter garnered 77 percent of the committee vote, surpassing the 66 percent needed to gain the party’s nod.
“I am very thankful and grateful for the strong endorsement I received today from the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee,” Specter said.
The fact of the matter is … Specter’s attempt for a 6th term may not be a charm. Sestak represented the non-establishment candidate for the Democrats.

President Barack Obama Back to -17% in Rasmussen Presidential Tacking Poll
That did not take long … President Barack Hussein Obama already back at -17% in the Daily Rasmussen Presidential Tracking poll. The Chosen One just got a lesson in political physics, what goes up from a less than truthful State of the Union speech, must come down when reality sets in.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 26% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-three percent (43%) Strongly Disapprove which gives Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -17 (see trends).
Following the Obama’s SOTU speech on January 27, 2010 his Rasmussen Daily Presidential tacking poll numbers actually went under negative double digits for the first time since November 14, 2009. Much of that change was due to Democrats changing their position, not Republicans or Independents. However, it did not take long for The Chosen One to have his poll number jump right back to where it was prior to the SOTU.
Is it any wonder why Obama’s poll numbers are back into the the low double digit negatives …
- only 11% of American agree with Keynesian Economics of deficit spending in tough economic times and think the nation needs to increase its deficit during this economic down turn.
- Americans agree with Republicans on 9 out of 10 key issues like, the economy, national security, Iraq, immigration, taxes and even Democrat issues like education, social security and health care.
With the 2010 midterm elections just 9 months away, the elections will be a referendum on Barack Obama and with his present poll numbers, that cannot be a good thing for Democrats. Let alone his own reelection bid in 2012.
