Check out the numbers that include poverty rate, unemployment, inflation, health insurance premiums, food stamp usage, average housing prices, national debt, deficit, etc. Are you better off under President Barack Obama? The numbers do not lie, although he might. Remember the numbers in 2012!

President Obama Says He believes his Chances of being Reelected in 2012 are “much higher” than they were in 2008

Obama, beyond delusional. When political spinning just becomes a fabricated lie …

At a campaign fundraiser during this past week, President Barack Obama said the unthinkable, that he believes his chances of being reelected in 2012 are “much higher” than they were in 2008. Seriously Barack? Well, if we look at his comment literally, he would be correct. In 2008 Obama was not being reelected like he will be attempting to do so in 2012, so I guess he would have a much higher chance. However, that was hardly the intent of what Barack Obama meant. This guy really is the “LYING” King.

At a campaign fundraiser Thursday night in Washington, D.C., President Obama said he believes his chances of being reelected in 2012 are “much higher” than they were in 2008.

“Over the last couple of months there have been Democrats who voiced concerns and nervousness about, well, in this kind of economy, isn’t this just — aren’t these just huge headwinds in terms of your reelection?” Obama said.

“And I just have to remind people that, here’s one thing I know for certain: the odds of me being reelected are much higher than the odds of me being elected in the first place.”

Barack Obama’s job approval: 43.8% approval – 51.6% disapproval.

So Obama thinks his chances are better in 2012 than 2008, eh? Unfortunately for Obama, his own political base does not feel the same way. “Hope & Change” is over Barack, you will have to run on your record and your first term as President. It would appear that Obama would like Americans to have amnesia.  Obama wishes that his first 4 years in Office was a season of the old TV show Dallas, when we learned it was all a dream. However, in Obama’s case … his first term in office has been one long nightmare for America.

If Obama thinks he has a better chance in 2012 of winning the Presidential election than 2008, maybe he would like to explain away the following?

1. The 2009 Massachusetts US Senate victory by Scott Brown
2. First President to reside over downgrading of US credit.
3. The 2010 midterm election shellacking of the Democrats.
4. 9.1% unemployment
5. Record number of Americans on food stamps
6. 30% approval rating of Obama handling the economy and creating jobs
7. 38% approval rating of Obamacare … 51% want it repealed.
8. 77% think the country is headed in the wrong direction
9. Solyndragate, and the Green jobs fraud … complete failure of the $787 stimulus
10. Historic Congressional NY-9 election victory by the GOP Bob Turner.

The US has Not Felt the Effects of the First Credit Downgrade … S&P Warns of Second Downgrade

SAY GOODBYE TO THE US NANNY STATE ONCE AND FOR ALL …

Good grief, the United States and US markets have yet to feel the effects of the first credit rating downgrade by the S&P and now the credit rating agency is already warning of a second downgrade. I guess this can be considered a second shot across the bow just in case that politicians in Washington, DC did not take notice of the first one.

One day after lowering the nation’s platinum triple-A credit rating, Standard & Poor’s analysts warned Saturday that the U.S. government could face a second downgrade if the economy continues to struggle and the government fails to make the cuts outlined in the debt ceiling agreement.

The ratings agency on Friday downgraded the nation to AA+ for the first time in history, saying partisanship in Washington is preventing dramatic deficit reduction.

S&P managing director John Chambers told reporters on a Saturday conference call that the toxic mix of a listless economy and political infighting will cause government debt to grow.

At some point politicians are going to have to care about the fiscal future of the United States rather than their next election and who has power in the House, Senate and Presidency.  The days of out of control spending are over. The US Nanny state government can no longer be all things to all people. It is not only waste and fraud that has to be corrected withing government spending, its whether certain departments and services are even required any longer.

Mike Huckabee Says Donald Trump Should Replace Treasury Secretary Geithner as US Credit Downgraded

Calls for Treasury Secretary Geithner to resign, but who should replace him?

As the US economy flounders, continues to be an abysmal failure and the US credit rating for the first time ever was downgraded by S&P, there are calls by many for the Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner to resign. GOP Presidential candidate and House Rep. Michele Bachmann has demanded that Barack Obama ask for Geithner’s resignation. Bachmann had voted against the debt limit bill that virtually did nothing to control spending and deal with the paying down the debt. Add US Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) to the list as well.

VIDEO Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit

“This president has destroyed the credit rating of the United States through failed economic policies and his inability to control government spending… President Obama is destroying the foundation’s of our economy one beam at a time. I call on the president to seek the immediate resignation of Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and to submit a plan with his list of cuts to balance the budget this year, turn the economy around and put our people back to work.”

It is obvious that Barack Obama, Tim Geithner and the rest of “The One’s” economic teams policies, philosophies and agendas have failed in a major way. So much that most all of Obama’s economic team has left office. Even Obama’s former economic adviser Christine Roemer has stated that we are “pretty darn F*CKED”. Geithner is one of the few original economic advisers that remain from Obama’s original clan, it is time for his misguided ways to go. Remember back in April 2011 when Geithner said, as reported at The Hill, “there is no chance that the U.S. will lose its top credit rating.” He could never have been more wrong.

Former Obama Economic Adviser Christina Romer Chuckles at S&P Downgrade of US Credit Rating … “We’re F*cked”

Doesn’t this speak volumes of the Obama Administration and those that were put in charge of the US economy.

During an interview with Bill Mahr, former Obama economic adviser Christina Romer chuckled at the S&P downgrade of the US credit rating and said,“We’re F*cked”.  Nice, this from an individual who was originally part of Obama’s economic team that was supposed to fix the economy and get Americans jobs. Many of us knew we were “F’d” the minute that Obama became president.

Transcript from NewsBusters:

BILL MAHER, HOST: So, excuse my language, but we used to do a segment on this show called “How F—ked Are We?”

(VIDEO CLIP)

MAHER: I didn’t expect that there. This, just before we went on the air they said our rating got downgraded.

CHRISTINA ROMER, FORMER CHAIR OF THE COUNCIL OF ECONOMIC ADVISERS, OBAMA ADMINISTRATION: So, pretty darned f—ked.

[Laughter and applause]

MAHER: Ooh.

ROMER: I’ve been hanging around Tim Geithner too long.

[Laughter]

MAHER: Why, does he swear like a sailor?

ROMER: Oh, like a seventh grade boy.

Remember when Roemer said that the “Fundamentals of the US Economy Are Sound?” Just curious, had Barack Obama got his initial wish of a clean debt ceiling bill, raising the debt ceiling without any conditions, it would seem that the S&P also would have downgraded the US anyways.
