Welcome to Obama’s America, 23% of Likely US Voters Say the Country is Heading in the Right Direction
Hey America, how’s that Barack Obama ”Hopey, Changey” stuff working out for you?
In the most recent Rasmussenpoll, only 23% of likely voters say that the country is headed in the right direction, while 71% say it is on the wrong track. 76% of voters not affiliated with either political party believe the same. Even 49% of voters of Obama’s own party feel the country is headed in the wrong direction. Way to go Barack!
Just 23% of Likely U.S. Voters now say the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey taken the week ending Sunday, December 12. Down three points from last week, it’s the most pessimistic finding since January 2009.
Confidence that the country is moving in the right direction is down to 42% among Democrats from 59% the week before Election Day.
Forty-nine percent (49%) of those in President Obama’s party feel the country is on the wrong track. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of Republicans and 76% of voters not affiliated with either political party agree.

Obama’s Latest Appointee CZAR, Jon Bon Jovi … America Really is Living on a Prayer
More Obama ”hope & change”: Bon Jovi edition, Community Solutions Czar?
Barack Obama continues to handle America’s tough problems, appoints Jon Bon Jovi to the White House Council for Community Solutions. Good grief, we really are “Living on a Prayer” these days. Talk about more “Bad Medicine” from Obama. President Obama, “You give Love Leadership a Bad Name.” Barack Obama finally has realized he is nor a “ROCK STAR” so he appoints one instead.
On Tuesday, President Barack Obama signed an executive order establishing the White House Council for Community Solutions, and Bon Jovi appears as one of the individuals appointed to the group.
“The Council will provide advice to the President on the best ways to mobilize citizens, nonprofits, businesses and government to work more effectively together to solve specific community needs,” states the release.
“These impressive men and women have dedicated their lives and careers to civic engagement and social innovation,” said Obama. “I commend them for their outstanding contributions to their communities, and I am confident that they will serve the American people well in their new roles on the White House Council for Community Solutions. I look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead.”
Jon Bon Jovi’s functions will be as follows as outlined by the White House:
1.)” enlisting leaders in the non-profit, private, and philanthropic sectors to make progress on key policy goals”
2.) “providing strategic input and recommendations to help the federal government promote greater innovation and cross-sector collaboration”
3.) “honoring and highlighting those making a significant impact in their own communities”
I might want to remind Jon Bon Jovi of some of the lyrics from one of his past songs before he gets involved with one of the most overreaching and meddling presidential administration in history … “Its My Life”. It is something that Obama and Democrats have forgot long ago … ITS OUR LIFE! So you would think with Bon Jovi’s rise to fame by doing it their way and not listening to the doubts of other, as stated at Michelle Malkin, “Bon Jovi’s first recommendation as Community Solutions Czar will be to get the federal government’s nose out of community issues.”
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow’s getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain’t even lucky
Got to make your own breaks
Chorus:
It’s my life
And it’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive
(It’s my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I’m alive
‘Cause it’s my life
Better stand tall when they’re calling you out
Don’t bend, don’t break, hell, don’t back down.
Which leads me to my final request for Obama and his ilk … can you please just “Runaway” … 2012 cannot come fas enough.

Michelle Obama Says “childhood obesity” is also “a national security threat” … WHAT?
Because Michelle Obama knows better than you …
Can anyone really take any thing serious that comes from Michelle Obama’s mouth? What actually goes on in the minds of liberals? How do they actually come up with a rational for idiotic thought? The all informed Michelle Obama thinks that “childhood obesity” is also “a national security threat”. I guess Michelle has forgot that we have a volunteer military, the obese need not apply. Just curious, how come “don’t ask, don’t tell” can’t be equally used for fat people as it is gays? Just asking.
Obama hypocrisy: Do as we say, not as we do
First lady Michelle Obama plans to warn in remarks Monday that the nation is seeing “a groundswell of support” for curbing childhood obesity, and she is unveiling new ammunition from current and retired military leaders.
“Military leaders … tell us that when more than one in four young people are unqualified for military service because of their weight,” the first lady says in the prepared remarks, “childhood obesity isn’t just a public health threat, it’s not just an economic threat, it’s a national security threat as well.”
The first lady and President Barack Obama are making a rare joint speaking appearance on Monday, at Harriet Tubman Elementary School in Northwest D.C.’s Columbia Heights neighborhood, as he signs into law the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.
This is how the Obama’s address US national security, by going after fat kids? Really? Does this mean that “Happy Meals”will soon be banned on US military bases? And Twinkies, let’s not forget to ban Twinkies. Want to know what’s wrong with LIBS, the following title says it all … Michelle Obama on Deciding What Kids Eat: ‘We Can’t Just Leave it Up to The Parents’.
Exit Question … why isn’t it a parents right to chose what their children should and should not eat? If its good enough to abort a baby, why isn’t it good enough to eat a bag of Doritos? Hmm?

Democrat Congressman Overheard Muttering “F*ck The President” During House Dem Caucus on Obama’s Tax-Cut Deal
The Democrats have lost that luvin feeling with President Barack Hussein Obama.
Hey Democrats, how’s that “Hopey, Changey” stuff working for you? And so it begins … Obama has already lost the center, he never had the right and now “The One” is on the verge of losing Democrats and his base. Roll Call reported that during a heated meeting of House Democrats to discuss Barack Obama’s tax compromise plan, an unknown member on Congress was heard saying, “Fu _k the President.” Also heard was the comment, “we can’t trust him”. Are the Democrats racist for opposing the President?
“You Lie” seems in retrospect so much more mild than what is coming from the mouths of Democrats
The frustration with President Barack Obama over his tax cut compromise was palpable and even profane at Thursday’s House Democratic Caucus meeting.
One unidentified lawmaker went so far as to mutter “f— the president” while Rep. Shelley Berkley was defending the package the president negotiated with Republicans. Berkley confirmed the incident, although she declined to name the specific lawmaker.
“It wasn’t loud,” the Nevada Democrat said. “It was just expressing frustration from a very frustrated Member.”
Rep. Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.) was also overheard saying that “we can’t trust him” not to cave to Republicans and extend the tax cuts again in two years, according to a Democratic source.
The anger aimed at the bill was widespread. As Democrats moved to block the bill from coming up on the floor, chants of “Just say no!” could be heard by reporters outside the room.
It would appear that the LEFT is finally realizing what the RIGHT has known for quite some time. Just out of curiosity, will the liberal MSM call the individual who said “F*ck The President” be called a racist? After all, that is what any and every Republican or Tea Party go’er was called who dare oppose the President. FromNewsbusters, Fineman To Olbermann: Democrats Said of Tax Plan ‘F the President,’ ‘No F-ing Way,’ ‘He F-ed It Up’.
Coming soon to FOX … When Democrats Attack Their Own.
Can you imagine if a Republican ever uttered such a comment and the wildfire of MSM coverage that would have transpired? The Democrats stand as a House divided.

Newt Gingrich Says “WikiLeaks” Leaks … Show Obama Administration ‘Shallow,’ ‘Amateurish’ when It comes to National Security … “it is painful and dangerous”
America, you were warned that the presidency is not something that lends itself to on the job training.
Obama Administration: “This administration is so shallow and so amateurish about national security that it is painful and dangerous.”
This morning on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that President Barack Obama and his Administration deserved a great deal of the blame for the massive amounts of classified information revealed through WikiLeaks. Gingrich went one further and called the Obama Administration “shallow” and “amateurish” when it comes to national security.
Gingrich said the leaks are “a scandal of the first order” and that they demonstrate the Obama administration is “shallow” and “amateurish” when it comes to national security.
“You have a private first class who downloads a quarter million documents, and the system doesn’t say, ‘Oh, you may be over extended?’ I mean, this is a system so stupid that it ought to be a scandal of the first order,” Gingrich said. “This administration is so shallow and so amateurish about national security that it is painful and dangerous.”
Video Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit
Newt Gingrich told CNN regarding Obama, “I’ve never seen an administration, even the Carter administration was never as routinely chaotic.” How bad is it when you rank lower than the Carter Administration?
“I’ve never seen an administration, even the Carter administration was never as routinely chaotic,” Gingrich told CNN in reference to Obama’s recent trip to Afghanistan. “Every time you turn around, this administration is fumbling somewhere around the world.”
He said there appears to be a gap between “the clarity and focus of that campaign and the confusion of the presidency.”
“He just suffered a stunning defeat, and yet he’s behaving as though nothing has changed,”
Joe Biden has made many gaffes in his life, this was not one of them … Biden was spot on when characterizing Barack Obama.
You had a decision to make in 2008 and you allowed the liberal, bias MSM to question the experience of VP candidate Sarah Palin and not that of Barack Hussein Obama. What do you think now America?
“… the presidency is not something that lends itself to on the job training.”
Shallow and amateurish when it comes to national security, huh? Remember prior to the 2008 election when many thought that Obama was not ready to lead? Remember when Presidential candidate Joe Biden said during the debates that Obama was not ready to lead? Biden was asked if Obama was ready and Joe’s response was that Obama was not ready yet and the office of the Presidency did not lead itself to on the job training.
Remember when Biden stated the following as well regarding Obama … “It Will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama … it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right”. No truer words have ever been said; however, it was not just world tests, it was domestic, economic, etc.
Also during the Fox News Sunday interview, when asked whether Newt would run for President in 2012, he said that he was ”much more inclined to run than not run.”
Gingrich told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace that he’s “much more inclined to run than not run.”
Gingrich said that he and his wife Calista are closing in on a decision on whether or not to jump in, which will likely happen by the end of February.
The former House Speaker said, “everything we’ve done over the last year, talking to friends, thinking things through, has made us more inclined to believe that it’s doable.”
