American Voters Trust Republicans on Economy Over Democrats … GOP has 10 Point Edge Over Democrats

The American people are letting their voice be heard … will our elected officials actually listen for once? The Democrats and the complicit MSM have tried to demagogue the debt crisis and demonize Republicans; however, ‘We the People” are not buying it.

As the debt limit discussion weighs in the balance as the Republicans and Democrats square off against each other as to how to handle the issue, a recent Rasmussen poll shows that American voters trust the GOP more in handling the economy than Democrats. Americans give the GOP a 10% lead over Democrats on the issue.

With lawmakers haggling over government debt and consumer confidence at a two-year low, voter confidence in Republicans to handle the economy is growing.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 45% trust Republicans more when it comes to handling economic issues, while 35% put more trust in Democrats. Nineteen percent (19%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

This is not the only problem that Democrats and Barack Obama face. In the Rasmussen poll the GOP beat Democrats in nine out of the ten major issues of the day including the economy, healthcare, Iraq, immigration, social security, Afghanistan, national security, government ethics and taxes.

Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on nine of those 10 issues. In May, Republicans led on just six issues after being trusted more on all 10 in early January. Two years ago Democrats were trusted more than Republicans on most issues. Still, there are several issues that the parties are close on in terms of trust.

Making matters worse for Barack Obama, the Rasmussen poll has his Presidential Index at -21% and an overall job approval rating at 45% approval and 54% disapproval. The recent Gallup poll has it at 43% approval and 49% disapprove. His complete polls can be seen at Real Clear Politics where all seem to be in the red.

The GOP have the backing of the people, now it just depends whether they have the guts to do the right thing and hold to their principles and why the political landscape was changed in 2010.  As stated at Powerline, “So John Boehner and his fellow Republicans should not let themselves be bullied. The American people are counting on them.”

Obamanomics: Its All About the Politics, Not the Economy … Geithner Says Debt Deal Must Remove Default Threat Through 2012 Election

THE DEMOCRATS ARE NOW THE “PARTY OF NO” …

If Democrats & Republicans cannot come to an agreement on a debt limit solution, let WE THE PEOPLE decide in the 2012 elections.

When it comes to the debt limit debate, the Obama administration seems to care more about the politics of the issue than the effects of it on the economy of the United States. One would think that all options should be on the table. If  the two sides cannot come to an agreement, then a short term deal should be put in place and then let the 2012 elections be the decider and “WE THE PEOPLE” will vote as to what we want as a solution. However, this is not the case with the partisan Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, as he only wants the “take default off the table for the next 18 months … through the election.”

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner showed little enthusiasm for a two-tiered debt-limit vote being discussed in Congress Sunday, saying it “makes no sense” to leave the threat of default hanging until the next election.

Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Geithner reinforced President Obama’s position that any proposal from Congress needs to “take default off the table for the next 18 months … through the election.”

What is Geithner and President Barack Obama afraid of? Seriously, if Congress cannot come to a deal and the President refuses to show any leadership, as he has basically been taken out of the mix in the talks,then pass a short term deal and let the 2012 elections and the voice of the American voters be the determination as to how debt reduction should occur. Elections are supposed to have consequences. Let that be one of them of the 2012 elections. GOP Speaker of the House stated this morning on Fox News Sunday that the House would be releasing a new plan. However, the Democrats and Obama seem to be showing a lack of leadership and appear to be the “Party of No.”

More Obama paritan talk came from Geithner on ABC News ‘This Week with Christiane Amanpour.’ One would think that Geithner’s concern would be the economy, not being Obama’s parrot. Why is it  a test for Republican leaders in Congress, I thought the buck was supposed to stop with the President?

On ABC News’ This Week with Christiane Amanpour, Geithner added that “this is a critical test for the American political system.  It’s a critical test for Congress and for the Republican leaders in Congress, because the eyes of the world are on us.”

OBAMANOMICS … Unemployment Rate up to 9.2% for June 2011, Only 18,000 Jobs Created

UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR JUNE 2011 … 9.2%, ONLY 18,000 JOBS CREATED!

Welcome to the failed economic policies of Barack Obama … the US added 18,000 jobs in June 2011. The unemployment rate for June 2011 went up .01% to 9.2%. OUCH!!! Take a look at the dismal unemployment numbers from the DOL. The unemployment rate is headed in the wrong direction and President Obama and Democrats talk about tax increases. Really?

Nonfarm payroll employment was essentially unchanged in June (+18,000), and the
unemployment rate was little changed at 9.2 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported today. Employment in most major private-sector industries
changed little over the month. Government employment continued to trend down.

Household Survey Data

The number of unemployed persons (14.1 million) and the unemployment rate (9.2
percent) were essentially unchanged over the month. Since March, the number of
unemployed persons has increased by 545,000, and the unemployment rate has
risen by 0.4 percentage point. The labor force, at 153.4 million, changed
little over the month. (See table A-1.)

Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (9.1 percent),
adult women (8.0 percent), teenagers (24.5 percent), whites (8.1 percent), blacks
(16.2 percent), and Hispanics (11.6 percent) showed little or no change in June.
The jobless rate for Asians was 6.8 percent, not seasonally adjusted. (See tables
A-1, A-2, and A-3.)

Is it any wonder why just the other day Senior Obama political adviser Plouffe made the comment that the people will not vote based on the unemployment rate, trying to spin in advance these terrible economic numbers.  It’s time for all to admit that Barack Obama’s policies on the economy are a complete failure.

Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Says It Would be Foolish for Democrats to Propose Their own Federal Budget

Far be it from US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Democrats to act in a responsible manner and actually conduct themselves in a way that would benefit “We the People”. Harry Reid stated that it would be “foolish” for Democrats to propose their own federal budget for 2012. Democrats did not propose a budget last year, why would anyone think they would this year?

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said it would be “foolish” for Democrats to propose their own federal budget for 2012, despite continued attacks from Republicans that the party is ducking its responsibility to put forward a solution to the nation’s deficit problems.

“There’s no need to have a Democratic budget in my opinion,” Reid said in an interview Thursday. “It would be  foolish for us to do a budget at this stage.”

Reid got the foolish part right, he just did not realize it was his actions and the Democrats he was really referring to. Democrats have acted foolishly for many year now.

THE LYING KING: Obama the Serious Attacks Donald Trump at White House Correspondents’ Dinner

President Barack Obama is a joke … Lost in Smallness, Part 102.

Barack Obama, the serious President once again shows the only thing that he is good at … being the “Clown Prince” in chief and attacking his rivals by making jokes. Isn’t it just amazing that the individual who said he wanted to put an end to the “birth certificate” story, is the only one still talking about it. How appropriate though that Obama play as his official birth video footage of the ‘Lion King’ because we all know that Barack Hussein Obama is the LYING KING!

As Obama made jokes and attacked Donald Trump, who was in the audience, Fox News and any rival, he went on to say the following. Isn’t it interesting that Obama just can’t let the birther story go.

“Donald Trump is here tonight,” said Obama. “Now, I know that he’s taken some flak lately but no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than The Donald. And that’s because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter, like, ‘Did we fake the moon landing?’ ‘What really happened in Roswell?’ And ‘Where are Biggie and Tupac?’”

Not to be out done, LEFTY Seth Meyers of SNL went after Trump in what might not be considered humor. One question, I wonder how the thin skinned Barack Obama would have handled these attacks?

But Obama was downright polite compared with Meyers, who zeroed in on The Donald.

Trump “said he’s running as a Republican,” said Meyers. “Which is surprising: I just assumed he was running as a joke.”

It didn’t stop there. Trump “often appears on Fox,” said Meyers, which is funny “because a fox often appears on Donald Trump’s head.”

Barack Obama: The Lying King

It is simply unbelievable that Barack Obama has reduced the Presidency to a stand up comedy act. This President is so small, so thin skinned, that he refreshes the opportunity to go after his political adversaries as his like the Left Coast Rebel states, he was in high school. I agree 100% with the LCR’s analysis that Obama is so insecure and such a complete and total failure as President that he must attack other to make himself feel better.

Obama’s petulance highlights a man not comfortable in his own skin; someone that has never had to face criticism of any kind; a petulant man that tripped and stumbled into the presidency and has no clue what the hell he is doing.

Seriously, I’m no Trump fan but addressing him directly like this? So weird and Dear Leader-esque.

Seriously, how sad is it that Obama is only comfortable when he is cracking jokes at other expense? Mr. President, no one is laughing in the South where there are 300+ dead after the deadly tornadoes swept through this week, no one is laughing at the $5 – $6 a gallon cost of gas, no one is laughing at the continued loss in value of the US dollar, no one is laughing at the continued out of control government spending and national debt. No one is laughing at the rising cost of goods and inflation.

To make matters even more puzzling for “The Chosen One”, who provides Trump with more PR as a form of punishing them? As stated at InstaPundit, why would anyone make a rival bigger who obviously made serious inroads and dented the armor of Obama. The One would never have provided his long form birth certificate had it not been damaging Obama in the polls. And like a complete novice, Obama fell for the bait.

No one is laughing that Americans think that the United States is in a recession!

WHAT A JOKE THIS PRESIDENT IS … 2012 CANNOT COME FAST ENOUGH.
