Charlie Rangel’s “Blago” Moment & Democrat Headache … “Hey, if I was you I may want me to go away too. I am not going away! I am here!”

Rangel … “I am not going away.” What is going away is the Democrat control in DC.

Scandal plagued NY Congressman Charlie Rangel’s 20 minute rant was pure “political theatre” and for Democrats an Excedrin PM headache and Pepto Bismol moment all rolled up in one. Rangel had his “Blago” moment as he defensively went on the defensive in his House speech stating that he was not going away. Rangel asks as he begins his speech, “Why did I take the floor today …” Many Democrats were asking the same question.

Rangel says … “I am not going away!”

It was a rant that slammed everyone from House Democrats to Pres. Barack Obama – and he promised not to go away anytime soon. Watch this video.
This was a very senior member of Congress, who clearly thinks he’s been wronged by both the press and his colleagues, sounding off about exactly the way he feels. And he’s pissed off. Here’s a selection of some of the best quotes:

Charlie Rangel even found time in his rant to go after President Barack Obama. Do we sense trouble in Democrat paradise?

Republicans Back on Top in Gallup Poll Generic Ballot … Lead in Rasmussen Generic Poll As Well

It is the reason why one looks at poll trending and not just a snap shot in time, the GOP is back on top in the Gallup poll Generic Ballot.Once again Republicans find them self with a 5% point lead at 48% to 43% margin over Democrats. The Democrats short lived two week lead is over and represents nothing more than an anomaly in an obvious political trend.

Registered voters favor Republicans by 48% and Democrats by 43% in Gallup’s generic congressional ballot for the week of July 26 through Aug. 1. This follows two weeks when the numbers were nearly reversed.

While the five-percentage-point edge for Republicans is not statistically significant, it represents a return to the prevailing 2010 pattern, seen since mid-March, whereby Republicans were tied or held a slight advantage over Democrats in most Gallup Daily tracking weekly averages. If sustained through Election Day, this competitive positioning for the Republicans among registered voters would point to major seat gains for that party in November given the usual Republican advantage in turnout.

Republicans also maintain an 8% point lead in the Rasmussen Generic Ballot. President Obama’s falling job approval numbers are not helping Democrats.

Dan RAthER and Chris Matthews Agree that Republicans Will Take Over the House in 2010

Cris Matthews has lost that luvin’ feeling … My what a difference 18 months makes.

This weekend Dan Rather suggested that the odds were that Republicans would take back the House of Representatives and probably hold on to the US Senate only because of the large majority they hold presently.

More importantly was the glum look on Matthew’s face when he responded to Rather, I agree.

Transcript from News Busters:

DAN RATHER: Look, there’s, there are a lot of angry people out there, and a lot of scared people. People vote their pocketbooks. That’s number one. Number two, overnight’s a long time in politics. A week is forever. We still have a long time to go and a lot of things can happen between now and November. As we sit here today, odds on the Republicans take the House – I know Democrats don’t want to hear it – retake the house.

CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: I agree with that.

RATHER: And the Democrats, because of the figures that have so many in the Senate, probably hold on to the Senate. And it will change the center of gravity in American politics unless something dramatic happens between now and November.

I am right on board with the Hot Air Pundit, there are not too many times that I agree with Dan RAthER, this is one of them. I wonder if Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is ”out of the loop” on this?

Remember Matthew’s famous “thrill up his leg” comment that he claimed to be an objective assessment about Barack Obama. Look at the difference between the giddiness of Matthews in the past to the present day, some one just ran over my dog and the Republicans are taking over. Objective indeed Chris.

Obama Tells Democrats Running for Re-Election in Midterms … He Will Help By Staying Away from Their Districts

RUN AWAY OBAMA, RUN!!!

President Barack Hussein Obama, the emperor not only has no clothes, he has no coattails either.

What a difference 18 months and a socialist agenda makes. Barack Obama’s “Hopey, Changey” Presidential election in 2008 was supposed to be the end of the GOP and the beginning of changes in how the business of politics was done in Washington, DC. However, in less than two short years, Obama has managed to do what it took GWB to do in eight years, become persona non grata with his own party. Last Friday Barack Obama met with Democrats stating that he  would do anything he could to help them survive their fall elections, including staying away from their districts.

As lunch was served in the Roosevelt Room of the White House one day last week, President Obama assured the nine Democratic members of Congress sitting around the table that he would do anything he could to help them survive their fall elections.

Even, he said, if it meant staying away.

“You may not even want me to come to your district,” Mr. Obama said, according to guests, nearly all of whom hold seats that Republicans are aggressively seeking.

Three months before the midterm elections, the president is stepping up his involvement in the fight to preserve the Democratic Party’s control of Congress. But advisers said he would concentrate largely on delivering a message, raising money and motivating voters from afar, rather than on racing from district to district.

The once crowd drawing candidate Obama now says that it may be best that he stays away from the districts and doe

President Barack Obama Job Approval Numbers … He’s Fallen and He Can’t Get up

It is finally happening to President Barack Hussein Obama and his job approval numbers … The Perfect Storm of events for his negative poll number have reached the tipping point as the American voters are fed up with this President’s agenda … Obama has fallen and he can’t get up.

It was only a matter of time before the sum of all of the separate individual polls on how Obama was handling the economy, health care, immigration, the deficit, the budget, war on terror, BP oil spill and the rest of the main political indicators caught up with “The One”. For months all of the political indicator polls were negative for Obama, yet his job approval was positive. That situation is no longer the case.

The Rasmussen Presidential Daily Tracking poll has Barack Obama at -20. The One also finds himself with a -12% job approval rating with 44% approval and 56% disapproval.

In less than two years in office Barack Obama has lost the independent, female, youth and Hispanic vote. The result as seen at Real Clear Politics is an endless number of polls that all have Barack Hussein Obama in the RED. The average polling ar RCP has Obama at -4.6% job approval. Rasmussen, Gallup, Fox News, CNN and Quinnipiac polls all have Obama in the negative.

The other commercial that might symbolize the Obama Presidency is … “Where’s the Beef”

Barack Obama has been on the wrong side of so many political issues since he has taken office, it has left Americans heads spinning and as upset as they have ever been. Americans are against the Obama stimulus and call it a failure. Never has that been more evident than with the most recent anemic 2.4% GDP numbers for 2nd qtr of 2010. Americans are against Obama suing Arizona on the illegal immigrant bill, they also trust the states more in handling the illegal immigrant issue better than the federal government.

How much of a drag will Obama have on the Democrat ticket in 2010? If the Democrats lose the House and/or the Senate and/or the majority of Governorships in the November midterms, what will be the further effect on Obama’s job approval? Such a bold statement by “WE THE PEOPLE” would say emphatically that they do not want Obama’s agenda and he/Democrats is either to reverse direction and suffer an even worse beating in 2012.
