Rasmussen Election 2012: Romney 45% Jumps into Lead Over Obama 39%

Hypothetical match up, Obama now trails Romney …

Talk about a reversal of fortune. According to the most recent Rasmussen poll, Mitt Romney has jumped ahead of Obama and has his biggest lead over the “The One”, 45% to 39%. Just last week Romney trailed Obama 44% to 41%. What has to be most concerning for Barack Obama is that an incumbent president is polling under 40%. Normally it is an issue if an incumbent polls under 50%, but under 40% is a disaster.

Romney’s lead over Obama has grown by this much

Mitt Romney has now jumped to his biggest lead ever over President Obama in a hypothetical Election 2012 matchup. It’s also the biggest lead a named Republican candidate has held over the incumbent in Rasmussen Reports surveying to date.

The latest national telephone survey finds that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters favor the former Massachusetts governor, while 39% prefer the president. Ten percent (10%) like some other candidate in the race, and six percent (6%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Presently in the Rasmussen polls, Obama has a 45%-55%, approval/disapproval for his job approval rating. Meanwhile 72% think the country is headed in the wrong direction, while only 22% think the country is headed in the right direction.

Robert Reich Predicts Hillary Clinton Will Replace Biden as VP on 2012 Obama Reelection Ticket

Obama’s political shell game …

Robert Reich predicts Hillary Clinton will be in and Joe Biden out as VP on Obama’s 2012 Presidential reelection ticket. This is certainly not something that we have not heard rumored or speculated before. However, according to Reich he has no inside-baseball information to come to this conclusion, only a hunch. Reich states that Obama needs to stir the passions and enthusiasms of a disillusioned Democratic base and an increasing poor economy.

Check out the look of disdain on Hillary’s face as she gazes at Obama

My political prediction for 2012 (based on absolutely no inside information): Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden swap places. Biden becomes Secretary of State — a position he’s apparently coveted for years. And Hillary Clinton, Vice President.

So the Democratic ticket for 2012 is Obama-Clinton.

Why do I say this? Because Obama needs to stir the passions and enthusiasms of a Democratic base that’s been disillusioned with his cave-ins to regressive Republicans. Hillary Clinton on the ticket can do that.

Bill Clinton calls Obama a media driven fairy tale

In other words Reich is saying that Obama needs to create a diversion and to play a political shell game so that “We the People” will pay more attention to a change rather than the failed “Hope & Change” that Obama promised. Let alone a continued poor economy that has millions of Americans out of work. Barack Obama obviously cannot run on his record … so Reich wants Obama to play political diversion games. How nice. Reich then goes on to say that this would set up Hillary Clinton to be the 2016 Democrat Presidential candidate.

Of course this presumes that an Obama/Cinton ticket would win.

Explain how this could co-exist in the White House?

One, does Hillary Clinton really want to put all her political eggs in Obama’s basket and run on the Obama economy and Obamacare? Two, could Obama and Hillary Clinton really get along, add Bill to the mix. Talk about the political “Odd Couple”.  Three, does anyone really think that Joe Biden is the reason why Obama’s job approval numbers are so low? Biden has done everything for this President including selling his soul and acting the fool, even more so than usual. Four, imagine the political ads against Obama/Clinton taken from their 2008 primary battles. Five, does Obama have the ability, humility and personality to accept that he is the problem and Hillary Clinton is his Savior? Hardly, many had suggested Obama not run for a second term for the betterment of the party. That was never an option for Obama’s ego. Barack Obama has continually shot down the notion that Clinton and Biden would swap jobs. If he makes such a flip-flop now, it would show just how politically weak “The One” truly is. Also, he would be, if elected, a neutered President and everyone would know who really worse the “pantsuit” in the Oval Office.

OTB has more debunking of the Obama/Clinton fantasy ticket.

Barack Obama Wants to Raise the Debt Ceiling Again … Borrow Another $1.2 Trillion on Chinese Credit Card

Remember when candidate Obama called W “unpatriotic” for borrowing?

You can’t be serious? Wouldn’t it be nice if “WE THE PEOPLE” had an unlimited budget and debt ceiling as well? We at Scared Monkeys cover political, current events, missing persons stories and true crime. These days the real “TRUE CRIME” is what is being perpetrated on the American people by our Government.

President Barack Obama will ask Congress to raise the debt ceiling once again. Who honestly thinks that this is the way that one handles paying their bills when they spend more than they take in?  Obama is expected to ask for authority to increase the borrowing limit by $1.2 trillion.

Watch the Video below, courtesy of the Gateway Pundit, where Barack Obama, the Hypocrite in Chief, called Bush “unpatriotic” for raising the debt limit by $4 trillion during his eight years. Obama called it irresponsible and unpatriotic. So what does that mean you are Barack for doing worse in three years? Please tell me some one at the GOP is already making this political ad for 2012?

The White House plans to ask Congress by the end of the week for an increase in the government’s debt ceiling to allow the United States to pay its bills on time, according to a senior Treasury Department official on Tuesday.

The approval is expected to go through without a challenge, given that Congress is in recess until later in January and the request is in line with an agreement to keep the U.S. government funded into 2013.

The debt is projected to fall within $100 billion of the current cap by December 30, when the United States has $82 billion in interest on its debt and payments such as Social Security coming due. President Barack Obama is expected to ask for authority to increase the borrowing limit by $1.2 trillion, part of the spending authority that was negotiated between Congress and the White House this summer.

As the Lonely Conservative opines, America is not safe from this President even when he is on his million dollar vacation in Hawaii and playing his 90th round of golf. A tax and spend liberal like Obama always finds time to tax and spend and raise the debt to even higher levels.  The new debt limit will go up to almost $16.4 trillion. That’s $16,400,000,000,000!!! Brought to you by the President and the Democrats who refuse to pass a budget.

What Pat in Michigan said … These people are just running this country into the ground. For all things that are Holy and Good, please, please for the Love of God vote this guy out of office and provide us with a responsible President and Congress in 2012. I beg you America, before it is too late.

Gallup Poll: Most Americans Still Say They Are Better Off Than Their Parents … Might Want to Check Out that $15+ Trillion Debt

REALLY? SOME MAY WANT TO TAKE A BETTER LOOK AT THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES …

A recent Gallup poll showed that most Americans still say they are better off than their parents. REALLY? 69% of those polled said that they were better off than their parents, 29% said, not so much. Unless you are comparing your parents who lived during The Great Depression or the Carter 1970′s, the poll results are a bit hard to believe. Heck, many are not better off than I was in my mid to late 20′s. Of course those making more $’s say they are better off; however, I really wonder how much the younger folks in this survey understand the debt they owe in the future. They might be singing a different tune.

High-income Americans are significantly more likely than those with lower incomes to say they are doing better financially than their parents were when they were the same age. Still, even a majority of lower-income Americans say they are better off financially than their parents were.

Maybe Gallup should have polled the 1 year old to 10 year old demographic and the unborn who will be responsible for paying off the out of control $15 trillion (DEBT CLOCK), every growing debt run up by those who state they are better off then their parents! With this present economy, the number of unemployed, records number of food stamps, poor housing market, energy costs and the out of control federal debt, it is hard to believe how individuals think they are better off than their parents.

The fact that you have less liberties today than your parents did automatically makes you less better off than your parents.

Oh but wait according to ABC News, seniors will get an increase of $38 a month. BIG WOOP! Reason why there is an increase … inflation is on the rise.

Simply Laughable & Media Bias: Obama Claim as 4th Best President, but ’60 Minutes’ Broadcast Edits it Out

As former democrat President Bill Clinton says, “It all depends on what the meaning of Obama’s”legislative and foreign policy accomplishments,” is. Welcome to Obama in Wonderland … Can America survive with an ego like this?

Once again we are witness to the liberal media bias and a laughable President Obama who obviously lives in another universe. No one can be this arrogant and pompous, then again the US has never had the misfortune to elect such a liberal, out of touch president like Barack Hussein Obama.

President Barack Obama is a legend in his own mind. During his ’60 Minutes’ interview Barack Obama said probably one of the most laughable comments of his Presidency. Obama actually said, “I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president — with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln …” WOW, OBAMA ACTUALLY BELIEVES THIS NONSENSE? Remember when so many thought that Obama would step down for the better of the Democrat party and America and have another run instead because of his poor job approval and wrong direction he has taken the country? Care to think again about Obama’s narcissism and lack of humility?

Transcript via News Busters:

KROFT: Tell me, what do you consider your major accomplishments? If this is your last speech. What have you accomplished?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, we’re not done yet. I’ve got five more years of stuff to do. But not only saving this country from a great depression. Not only saving the auto industry. But putting in place a system in which we’re gonna start lowering health care costs and you’re never gonna go bankrupt because you get sick or somebody in your family gets sick. Making sure that we have reformed the financial system, so we never again have taxpayer-funded bailouts, and the system is more stable and secure. Making sure that we’ve got millions of kids out here who are able to go to college because we’ve expanded student loans and made college more affordable. Ending Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Decimating al Qaeda, including Bin Laden being taken off the field. Restoring America’s respect around the world.

The issue here is not gonna be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president — with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln — just in terms of what we’ve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we’ve got a lot more work to do. And we’re gonna keep on at it.

How Obama kept a straight face while making such a comment shows what such a good liar this man really is. However, a funny thing happened on the way to the Barack Obama interview … CBS ’60 Minutes’ edited the President’s comments from their TV broadcast. Of course this was just a coincidence. The FULL interview can be seen HERE, check out the 54:30 minute mark.

So Obama thinks he is better than the father of our country George Washington, really? Heck, Obama also thinks that he is better than  Presidents Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Coolidge, Truman, Theodore Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan just to name a few. Obama, you are not better than William Jefferson Clinton.
