Senator McConnell (KY-R) “Obama hasn’t been working to earn reelection. He’s been working to earn a spot on the PGA tour.”

FORE …

Come the election eve 2012, Obama supporters will not be chanting four more years, they will be saying “fore” more years. Mitch McConnell said what most Americans have thought during the Obama presidency. McConnell stated, “For four years, Barack Obama has been running from the nation’s problems. He hasn’t been working to earn reelection. He’s been working to earn a spot on the PGA tour”. After over 100+ rounds of golf and no clue how to fix the economy or help create an environment that is convulsive to job growth … but he can certainly play golf.

The Senate minority leader delivered a scathing speech Wednesday hitting the president for failing to solve the country’s problems.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) delivered a scathing speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night, saying that President Obama has spent more time on his golf game than solving the country’s problems.

“For four years, Barack Obama has been running from the nation’s problems. He hasn’t been working to earn reelection. He’s been working to earn a spot on the PGA tour,” McConnell said.

America cannot take another “FORE” years of a President who has acted so small in the face of such huge issues. America needs a leader, not a community organizer.

Mitt Romney pulled even with President Barack Obama in a Reuters/Ipsos poll at 43%

Don’t look now, but the polls are shifting. According to a Reuters new poll, Mitt Romney, the GOP nominee, and President Barack Obama are now tied at 43% a piece. These are worrisome numbers for an incumbent polling so far under 50%. Romney has the opportunity to wow the crowd and after Paul Ryan’s and Condi’s speech last night the Romney numbers will only increase. In next week’s Democrat National Convention Obama is going to have to explain the poor economy and another week of poor first time unemployment filing up 370,000.  The prior week’s figure was revised up to show 2,000 more applications than previously reported.

Republican Mitt Romney pulled even with President Barack Obama in a Reuters/Ipsos poll on Wednesday, getting a boost from his party’s nominating convention in Tampa this week.

In a four-day rolling poll, Romney and Obama were deadlocked among likely voters at 43 percent each. That was an improvement for Romney from Obama’s two-point lead on Tuesday and four-point lead on Monday.

“There is movement toward Romney, which is traditional for a convention,” Ipsos pollster Julia Clark said. “It’s small and the change is incremental, but it’s been moving the last couple of days.”

As reported at The American Thinker, Mitt Romney’s speech tonight is expected to draw 40 million viewers. If he does reasonably well, he might end up getting a nice 6-8 point bounce in the polls and put pressure on the Democrats to match or do better. That is hard to believe seeing that it is going to be a negative anti-Romney Convention, far from the Hope & Change” of 2008. Also, the August 2012 unemployment numbers are due out the Friday following the DNC Convention.

New Majorly Democrat Skewed (+9) Washington Post Poll Has Romney Ahead of Obama, 47% to 46% …

More media bias in action … WAPO skews poll and Obama still cannot beat Romney …

Great new America, a new Washington Post/ABC poll has Mitt Romney ahead of President Obama 47% to 46%. Why is a poll that has Romney only ahead by 1% over Obama great? Because the poll is so skewed to Democrats (+9) that is can hardly be considered credible. That being said, Romney still leads Obama. How bad is that for Obama and his minions that the incumbent President Obama cannot beat Romney in a +9 sampled poll, D31/R22/I39.

The Republican National Convention opens this week with President Obama and presumptive nominee Mitt Romney running evenly, with voters more focused on Obama’s handling of the nation’s flagging economy than on some issues dominating the political debate in recent weeks.

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows Romney at 47 percent among registered voters and Obama at 46 percent — barely changed from the deadlocked contest in early July.

Full poll results.

Check out a couple of questions from the poll, that should cause great concern and panic for Barack Obama, especially with a terribly skewed poll sampling. Now imagine what the poll would look like if the sampling was even D+3 or even and more than 71% considered the economy as a major factor in their vote and +54% considered him failing in his job with the economy?

Q: Do you approve or disapprove of the way Obama is handling his job as president?
APPROVE 50% – DISAPPROVE 46%

Q: Do you approve or disapprove of the way Obama is handling the economy?
APPROVE 44% – DISAPPROVE 54%

Q: Will Obama’s handling of the economy be a major factor in your vote, a minor factor, or not a factor?
MAJOR FACTOR 71%
MINOR FACTOR 17%
NOT A FACTOR 11%

Q: Generally speaking, do you usually think of yourself as:

Democrat 31%
Republican 22%
Independent 39%

This is shameful on the part of the WAPO. In a once in a life time, elect the first black American, GWB fatigue, lame GOP McCain candidate election in 2008, Democrats came to the polls by +7 over the GOP.  That is hardly going to happen again in 2012. But some how the WAPO samples the polling data for a one on one match up with Obama and Romney at +9.

I am going to disagree with the many political pundits, barring some unforeseen issue, I do not see the election in November as close as many have predicted. The mood of the country is ill with Obama, his policies and the economy. They are tired of being tired.

Romney and Ryan also get a bump in Ohio as reported at the WAPO.

GOP gets bump in Ohio: A new Columbus Dispatch Poll in Ohio shows both the presidential race and Senate race are essentially tied.

Romney tops Obama by less than one-quarter of 1 percent (each rounds to 45 percent), while Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) leads state Treasurer Josh Mandel (R) by just less than 1 percent (each rounds to 44 percent).

Mitt Romney Says Barack Obama Has Gave Up and ‘Admitted Defeat’ on the Economy

File this one under, if the truth hurts …

Mitt Romney has accused President Barack Obama what many have thought for months … Obama has given up trying to fix the economy and “admitted defeat”. What else can you call what Obama has dome lately? The Presidents plan to stimulate the economy was an EPIC FAILURE. Obama’s payoff the “green energy” companies was an EPIC FAILURE. Obama’s job growth plan has been an EPIC FAILURE   As stated by the American Thinker, “President Obama has failed miserably in trying to “stimulate” the economy by pouring hundreds of billions of dollars in “investments” for green energy, infrastructure projects, and other temporary measures that have done nothing except drive up the deficit.”

Now with the Presidential election mere months away Barack Obama has basically given up and gone into full campaign mode, not that he has ever stopped doing so since he was elected in 2008. Obama has failed  and as The One said in the past he had 4 years to fix  the economy. If he did not, Obama would be a one term President. He has not even come close and his policies and agenda have made matters worse, not better.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney accused President Obama on Saturday of giving up on trying to fix the economy, saying he had “admitted defeat.”

In his weekly podcast, Romney pounced on a recent government report, which found that the unemployment rate rose in 44 states last month.

He accused Obama of blaming the “stalemate in Washington” instead of working to boost job creation.

“With millions of Americans hurting like never before, the President has admitted defeat. With five months to go before his term his up, he’s saying he won’t even try anymore,” Romney claimed.

The presumptive Republican nominee for president argued that he has the executive experience necessary to turn the economy around.

Former GOP Turncoat & Political Opportunist Florida Gov. Charlie Crist Backs Barack Obama … Good, He Just proved His True Political Beliefs

Ode to a career politician …

When I first read this news story it reminded me of the NFL draft and the last player selected, otherwise know as Mr. Irrelevant. Former Florida Governor Charlie Crist is the Sunshine’s state’s version of Mr. Irrelevant.

The former Republican, turned Independent, turned maybe I will run as a Democrat says he is going to backing Barack Obama in the 2012 Presidential election. This is sure to be a game changer and move the needle. NOT! Maybe this political opportunist can parlay this endorsement into a speaking role at the Democrat National Convention. Wasn’t this the same guy who pulled out of the Florida GOP primaries because he was getting trounced by Republican superstar Marco Rubio?He then ran as a so-called Independent and lost again badly to Rubio in Florida. On ABC ‘This Week’, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell dismissed former Florida GOP Governor Charlie Crist’s endorsement of Obama calling it just one more vote for the president in the Sunshine State.

Doesn’t this dude ever learn, it was his embracing of Obama in 2008 that got lost his job

On the cusp of the Republican National Convention that he helped bring to his home of Tampa Bay, former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist goes all in for Democrat Barack Obama in a Tampa Bay Times editorial.

It’s looks like yet another indication that Crist, an independent, plans on becoming a Democrat and running for governor. The next sign: Whether he gets a speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.

In some ways, Obama owes Crist, who literally and figuratively embraced the president’s stimulus plan in 2009 in Fort Myers when the rest of the Republican party was busy trashing it. Aside from being a political opportunist (Obama was popular at the time), Crist was being honest. He knew the Republican Legislature would have to take the money and that the state needed it to prevent deep budget cuts and state-worker layoffs. Every governor knew it. That’s why they all took nearly all of the stimulus money.

Does anyone remember just a couple of years ago when Crist said Obama would lose reelection like Jimmy Carter?

Video Hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit

Good grief, here is some of Crist’s OPED. Crist praised Obama’s vision built on a strong middle class, work and personal responsibility. Are you sure he was not referencing Mitt Romney? Obama’s vision and rhetoric has been one of class warfare and division of the races. Obama’s policies and liberal agenda have slowed the US economic recovery, not helped it. When Obama was first elected he was more concerned with passing Obamacare rather that aid jobs growth. His $787 billion stimulus to keep unemployment at 7% was a failure.

I’ve studied, admired and gotten to know a lot of leaders in my life. Across Florida, in Washington and around the country, I’ve watched the failure of those who favor extreme rhetoric over sensible compromise, and I’ve seen how those who never lose sight of solutions sow the greatest successes.

As America prepares to pick our president for the next four years — and as Florida prepares once again to play a decisive role — I’m confident that President Barack Obama is the right leader for our state and the nation. I applaud and share his vision of a future built by a strong and confident middle class in an economy that gives us the opportunity to reap prosperity through hard work and personal responsibility. It is a vision of the future proven right by our history.

What a shock that a political opportunist like Crist it is rather peculiar that he would tout Obama’s success when most Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction. Also, even this sample skewed poll that over sampled Democrats shows that Obama has a negative approval rating in Florida and Floridians favor Romney over Obama when it comes to the Sunshine’s state number one issue, the economy.
