Obama Sinking in Polls … Losing Ground to GOP, Obama Leads Palin by Just 5%

IS OBAMA LOSING GROUND TO REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES INCLUDING SARAH PALIN … YOU BETCHA!!!

Yet more bad polling data for President Barack Obama. Not only is Obama’s job approval and favorability rating sinking fast in the polls, Obama is also losing ground in head to head match ups against potential 2012 GOP Presidential candidates. Hey Democrats, guess who had the biggest gain on Obama … that would be Sarah Palin.  She previously trailed Obama by more than 20 percentage points earlier this year; however, Palin now trails the Obama by just 5 points, 49% -44%.

Look out President Barack Obama. Even Sarah Palin’s gaining on you.

A new McClatchy-Marist poll finds that Obama looks increasingly vulnerable in next year’s election, with a majority of voters believing he’ll lose to any Republican, a solid plurality saying they’ll definitely vote against him and most potential Republican challengers gaining on him.

Even in potential matchups where he leads, Obama in most cases has lost ground to the Republican.

Michelle Malkin references some of the other hypothetical matchups. There appears to be an obvious trend … ANYBODY BUT BARACK. Hey America, how’s that “Hopey, Changey” stuff working out for you these days?

Obama is neck and neck with Romney, leading by 46-44. Obama had led by 5 points in August, 4 points in June, and 1 point in April. Romney now leads among independents, 44 percent to 40 percent.

Obama leads Perry by 50 percent to 41 percent. They split independents 43-43. Obama had led Perry by 19 points in August, as Perry was joining the campaign.

Barack Obama’s Civility, a President of the People? Will Obama Condemn Hoffa & Biden for Calling Republicans/Tea Party Barbarians & Son’s of Bitches?

DEMOCRAT CIVILITY … CALLING THE GOP AND TEA PARTY BARBARIANS AND SONS OF BITCHES … BARACK OBAMA, THE DIVIDER IN CHIEF.

America … is this the “Hope & Change” you voted for? Just curious Barack Obama … would this be an example of You putting Party before Country?

It would appear that Barack Obama, Joe Biden nor James Hoffa Jr. could care less about 9 year old  Christina Taylor Green. For that matter, the Democrat party. Would a President of all the people allow such hostility and hate to be spewed prior to their own speech? The answer is no and thus the reason why Obama is nothing more than a partisan hack beholden to Big Labor Unions.

Just this past weekend during his Weekly Presidential Address Barack Obama called for Congress to skip the political posturing. Of course we also remember when Obama said at the Tuscan, AZ Memorial following the senseless killings of six innocent individuals including 9 year old Christina Taylor Green.

I believe we can be better. Those who died here, those who saved lives here – they help me believe. We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another is entirely up to us. I believe that for all our imperfections, we are full of decency and goodness, and that the forces that divide us are not as strong as those that unite us.

However, after months of Democrats calling the Tea Party and Republicans racists, Nazis, supporting racism and telling them they can go to hell … today President Barack Obama showed his true colors and why America does not consider him a leader of “We the People”.

At a Labor Day speech in Detroit, Michigan that was said by the WH not to be a political campaign speech, was nothing but.  Prior to Obama’s partisan speech to a crowd of union workers, Jimmy Hoffa Jr. riled up the union masses by saying the following,“President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let’s take these son of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong.” Only to be followed up by Joe Biden, the VP of the United States acting in a partisan manner, “You Are The Only Folks Keeping The Barbarians From the Gates.” Nice partisan comments from Biden at an AFL-CIO event in Ohio.

This President is a joke. He tells Republicans to put country before party and then attends a pro-Union Labor Day political rally where insults are made toward the GOP. Barack Obama has no credibility. The UK Telegraph asks whether Barack Obama is going to condemn the comments made by Hoffa and Biden. Condemn? He embraced them.

Has Mareen Dowd Abandoned Barack Obama and Concluded He’s One and Done?

The rats are fleeing the ship … Obama is a One term “One”der in 2012.

Even the New York Times liberal Barack Obama cheerleader Maureen Dowd is abandoning the SS Obama. Her OPED piece references continued miscalculations and mistakes by Barack Obama along with many excuses. Dowd realizes that Obama is a mere shell of what he was in 2008 and Americans are tired of talk and speeches … they want action. How bad is it for Obama when Dowd dumps you?

The leader who was once a luminescent, inspirational force is now just a guy in a really bad spot.

His Republican rivals for 2012 have gone to town on the Labor Day weekend news of zero job growth, using the same line of attack Hillary used in 2008: Enough with the big speeches! What about some action?

Polls show that most Americans still like and trust the president; but they may no longer have faith that he’s a smarty-pants who can fix the economy.

Dowd provides more examples of a clueless Obama shooting himself in the foot. Even for liberals Obama’s actions have to have them embarrassed and pondering what the future has in store. Many on the LEFT whether they will admit it or not are frustrated with Obama and Newsbusters states, “Maybe Obama was not even the person he was waiting for”.

Obama’s re-election chances depend on painting the Republicans as disrespectful. So why would the White House act disrespectful by scheduling a speech to a joint session of Congress at the exact time when the Republicans already had a debate planned?

And why is the White House so cocky about Obama as a TV draw against quick-draw Rick Perry? As James Carville acerbically noted, given a choice between watching an Obama speech and a G.O.P. debate, “I’d watch the debate, and I’m not even a Republican.”

What will it take for all Democrats to abandoned Obama? Could it be a failed jobs speech in almost prime time?  I have long thought that when Democrats mentioned that Obama needed to be primary challenged there was only one person with the liberalism,  progressivism and clout to do so, the scream machine, Howard Dean. The Astute Blogger asks the appropriate question, can a Dean candidacy be far away?

First Black President Has Highest Black Unemployment Rate in 27 Years at 16.7%

The historic election of Barack Obama continues to reap historic moments … Unemployment rate among Blacks at 16.7% and a 27 year high. Hey Black America, “How’s that ‘Hopey, Changey’ stuff working out for you?” Do some blacks have buyer’s remorse?

Unemployment rate among Blacks at 16.7% and a 27 year high thanks to Obama

Today’s dismal job numbers courtesy of President ZERO’s economic polices were disastrous for Americans as NO JOBS were created in August, 2011. However, it was none more catastrophic than to Black Americans where their unemployment rate rose to a 27 year high at 16.7%. I bet Black America thought things were going to be so much different for them when Barack Obama was elected in 2008.

Barack Obama was going to help her pay her gas and mortgage … What about a job Peggy?

The August jobs report was dismal for plenty of reasons, but perhaps most striking was the picture it painted of racial inequality in the job market.

Black unemployment surged to 16.7% in August, its highest level since 1984, while the unemployment rate for whites fell slightly to 8%, the Labor Department reported.

“This month’s numbers continue to bear out that longstanding pattern that minorities have a much more challenging time getting jobs,” said Bill Rodgers, chief economist with the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University.

Black unemployment has been roughly double that of whites since the government started tracking the figures in 1972.

In the 2008 election, 95% of black men and 96% of black woman voted for Barack Obama. Overall, 95% of blacks voted for Obama.  Do you think any of them thought that their plight would have been worse when Obama was elected the first black President? If GWB was in office, he would have been called a racist with such high, epoch black unemployment numbers. Any Republican would have been called uncaring of blacks and out of touch with black minorities. So what do  they say when their hand picked Savior is in office and has made matters worse for them?

Seriously, how does a black voter actually vote for Obama in 2012? Do they really want four more years of near 17% unemployment, no jobs and food stamps? Really? Blacks really need to take a serious look at things and realize it is not the Tea Party that is their enemy, it might just be the political party that takes their vote for granted no matter what color the President is.

Never Wrong Allan Lichtman’s Predicts President Obama Wins in 2012 … Wanna Bet!

From the pages of US News & World Report comes the following that “never wrong” Allan Lichtman predicts that Barack Obama will win the 2012 Presidential election. Wanna bet Sir? Or as the Lonely Conservative puts it, “there is a first time for everything”. The keys to the Lichtman prediction are as follows.

1-Party mandate: Obama loses due to 2010 loss of the House to the GOP.
2-Contest: Obama wins as there is no serious potential for a Democrat primary.
3-Incumbency: Obama wins for obvious reasons.
4-Third Party: No left wing third party will challenge Obama, so he wins this one.
5-Short term economy: Undecided, as we don’t know how things will look a year from now.
6-Long-term economy: Obama loses for obvious reasons.
7-Policy change: Obama wins for his major policy changes.
8-Social unrest: Obama wins as there is no widespread social unrest.
9-Scandal: Obama wins because no major scandals have affected him or his administration.
10-Foreign/military failure: Obama wins because there are no obvious foreign policy failures.
11-Foreign/military success: Obama wins because Osama bin Laden is dead.
12-Incumbent charisma: Obama loses because he leads from behind.
13-Challenger charisma: Obama wins because nobody great will challenge him

So Obama  has 9 wins … 3 loses and 1 undecided and thus a reelection. Not gonna happen. Let alone Lichtman’s analysis is a stretch at best. After the 2012 election, there will be one more sorry individual who hitches his wagon to Obama.

I guess we need to just forget the fact that Obama was a RCP average 43% job approval rating, 53.2% disapproval or a -10.2%.  The Rasmussen Employment index has hit the skids. We are also supposed to discount the continual downward trend of all of Obama’s polling numbers with every single demographic. Let’s not forget the
Generic Presidential Ballot that has the GOP at 48% and Obama at 40% and the Congressional Generic ballot at GOP 45% and Democrats at 36%.

At 69.3, the Employment Index is down eight points from the beginning of the year and down 14 points since last November when hiring expectations peaked.  Generally speaking, a decline in the Rasmussen Employment Index suggests the upcoming government reports on job creation will be worse than prior months.

Sorry dude, but even your analysis that gives Obama the win is flawed. Just as Barack Obama’s victory in 2008 was historic, so will be his loss in 2012. Lichtman, I do not think I would bet the house on Obama, then again, the mortgage would be underwater anyhow so what’s the difference, right? Then there is Lichtman’s flawed analysis that gives Obama the benefit of the doubt when all economic and key political issue indicators say just the opposite. So let’s review Obama’s so-called positive signs according to Lichtman:

2-Contest: Obama wins as there is no serious potential for a Democrat primary: Seriously? How many primary challenges have there ever been? We live in a different era of partisan party, Kool-aid drinking politics where both sides know that a primary challenge to an incumbent President is certain political suicide. Take this one off the list and irrelevant as even thought some in the Democrat party have asked for a primary challenge to Obama and 47% of Democrats think he should be challenged, it will never happen.
