Harvard Poll: 30% of Millennial Voters Say Obama will Win Reelection … Only 46% Job Approval Rating

NOW THE YOUNG ARE ABANDONING OBAMA ... Even more bad news for President Barack Obama, this time from “Millennial” voters, those from the age of 18 to 29 years.

Barack Obama was supposed to represent “Hope & Change” for the young people of America. However, since his election in 2008 all the “Millennial” voters have experience is that cannot gain employment. A recent Harvard poll has some extremely bad new for Obama in his 2012 reelection bid. According to Harvard’s Institute of Politics poll of “Millennial” voters, 36% think Barack Obama will lose while 30% think he will be voted into a second term. Also, only 46% of Millennials approve of the job Obama is doing as president, the lowest mark since IOP polling of the Obama administration began in the fall of 2009.

Full polling data can be found HERE. Also, some more damning polling data for Obama.

•Approximately one-third of younger voters following “Occupy” movement; less than one-in-four supportive.  Thirty-two percent of 18-29 year-olds say they followed the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrations either very (6%) or somewhat closely (26%), with 66% saying they were not following the demonstrations closely. Twenty-one percent (21%) of Millennials say they supported the “Occupy” movement with one-third (33%) not supportive and 46% either unsure or refused to answer.

•Job approval ratings continue to slide for President Obama as well as Democrats and Republicans in Congress. President Obama’s job performance rating among America’s 18-29 year-olds is currently at the lowest point since IOP polling of the Obama administration began in the fall of 2009. Forty-six percent (46%) of Millennials approve of the job Obama is doing as president – a decrease of nine percentage points from Feb. 2011 IOP polling (55%) – with 51% saying they disapprove. Obama’s job approval has also fallen among college students from 60% in February to 48% today. Views toward Democrats(33% approval; down from 45% in February)and Republicans in Congress(24% approval; down from 30% in February) have also slipped significantly over the same period.

Can you say the ship is sinking? This is hardly the polling data nor the downward trend that an incumbent President would want less than one year from an election.

Barack Obama, the Incredible Blaming President … Still Blaming GWB … “If He Knew How Bad The Economy Was, He “Could Have Warned Americans”

The Incredible Blaming President …How about some cheese with that Whine?

Once again Barack Obama’s answer to the economy is, blame Bush and he did not know the full extent of the economic crisis when he took office. Does that mean that Obama would not have promises to keep unemployment below 8% before he spent $787 billion down a rat hole? Mr. President, no one wants to hear what if, they want answers and they want results, you have provided neither.

President Barack Obama said Tuesday he wishes he knew the full extent of the economic crisis when he took office, if only so he could have let Americans know just how tough the coming years would be.

“I think we understood that it was bad, but we didn’t know how bad it was,” Obama said in an interview with KIRO in Seattle. “I think I could have prepared the American people for how bad this was going to be, had we had a sense of that.”

Obama’s comments came as he sat down with a string of local TV reporters on Tuesday morning to sell his proposal to extend the payroll tax cut while highlighting the end of the Iraq war. He also did brief interviews – all under 10 minutes – with WVEC in Norfolk, Va., WEAR in Pensacola, Fla., and KOAA in Colorado Springs, Colo.

As Weasil Zippers states, when it comes to President Barack Obama, the buck stops with George W. Bush. Many have questioned Obama’s lack of leadership as President, this certainly does not stop that debate. However, the problem is not what Obama may have inherited, the problem is that Obama’s policies, agenda and political philosophy have made matters worse.

Imagine a football coach in the 3rd year of his contract and having taken over a team that was 8 and 8 and now finds himself a 5 and 11 and no signs of getting better asking for a raise and a contract extension. Most leaders take on a challenge and relish in the fact of turning bad situations around.  They don’t whine and expect everything to be easy and handed to them. However, not when it comes to this President. Obama was never qualified for the office and America is paying a dear price for that fact.

It does not matter how bad things were, what matters is how you fix it. It is obvious and it comes from the horses mouth, Obama is over his head and has no solutions. Four more years of Obama would be the equivalent of taking the car in the ditch and driving it off the cliff … if we are not already there. There is a reason why 75% of Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction and 54% believe that Obama does not deserve reelection.

EXIT QUESTION: If America knew how bad Barack Obama would be as President could we have been warned as well?

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Unemployment Didn’t Go up Under Obama. YOU LIE!

What good is a message if its a complete and total lie? Is this really what Democrats are going to run on in 2012?

Yesterday DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz went on Fox & Friends and lied through her teeth. While spewing her Obama, Democrat talking points she stated, “Unemployment didn’t go up under Obama!” Watch the VIDEO below and meet the Baghdad Bob of the Democrat party.

A note to the DNC, Debbie and Barack, unemployment is not going down because people are getting jobs, its going down because people have given up looking for them. Its hardly because of any jobs that Obama has provided in his wasteful government spending and stimulus plans.

The following from Hot Air are the facts that Debbie Wasserman Schultz seems to have trouble comprehending. Or is it that it does not fit her narrative?

Here are a few facts that seem to have gotten past Wasserman Shultz as the head of a major political party, and as a member of Congress:
•Jobless rate in January 2009: 7.8%.  Jobless rate in November 2011: 8.6%.
•Number of employed in January 2009, in thousands: 133,563.  In November 2011: 131,708
•Civilian participation rate in January 2009: 65.7%.  In November 2011: 64.0%
•Unemployment level in January 2009, in thousands: 11,984.  In November 2011: 13,303
•Number of people not in labor force, January 2009, in thousands: 80,554.  In November 2011: 86,558

Let’s stop the fuzzy math. The unemployment rate is not 8.6%, as stated at the Lonely Conservative, unemployment is 11% if you count those who gave up in despair. Stop the madness if anyone actually thinks that the job situation is getting better. A lower unemployment number has nothing to do with job creation when only 100K jobs are created in a month. Via the the Financial Times comes the following:

According to government statistics, if the same number of people were seeking work today as in 2007, the jobless rate would be 11 per cent. Some have moved from claiming unemployment benefits to disability benefits, and have thus permanently dropped out of the labour force. Others have fallen back on the charity of relatives. Others still have ended up in prison.

Flip-Flopper: Obama Says on ’60 Minutes’ … “I Always Believed” Fixing the Economy Was “Going to Take Longer Than One Term” … What Happened to One Term Proposition? (VIDEO)

During last nights CBS ’60 Minutes’ interview with Steve Kroft, President Barack Obama was reminded of the terrible situation with the economy and asked about his job approval numbers with said economy. However, once again Obama blamed George W. Bush and Republicans, not his policies and agenda over the past three years. Then came the ultimate, convenient flip-flop, Barack Obama said, “I always believed” fixing the economy was going to take “longer than one term.”

Steve Kroft: We have a new CBS poll, which is out this weekend. And I’ll give you the news that’s good for you first. People like you. They respect you. They think that you’re working hard. And they realize that you faced an enormous amount of trouble and problems, many of them inherited. And you’re approval rating is four times higher than the Congress.

President Barack Obama: That’s a low bar, I gather.

Kroft: But they’re not happy with the way you’re doing your job. You’ve got 75 percent of the people in the country think it’s headed in the wrong direction. Seventy-five percent. And 54 percent don’t think that you deserve to be re-elected. I mean, those are not good numbers with 11 months to go before the election.

The full transcript can be read HERE.

So Obama always thought that the it would take longer than one term, eh? As we are reminded by the Gateway Pundit in the VIDEO below, that is hardly what The One said on the Today Show in 2009. Then Obama said,
“my Presidency will be ‘a one term proposition’ if  the economy does not turn around in three years.” So what ever happened to that follow up question? How about it Barack, your days of blaming others are over, take some responsibility for one. You wanted to be President … own it!

“Look, I’m at the start of my administration. One nice thing about the situation I find myself in is that I will be held accountable. You know, I’ve got four years. A year from now I think people are going to see that we’re starting to make some progress. But there’s still going to be some pain out there. If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.”

In 2012 President Obama, you will be judged on the economy! People are tired of your blame game, how many times are you going to remind us of the difficult situation you took over? If your not up to it Mr. President, go!

Obama Endorsed Occupy Protesters Plan to Shut Down West Coast Ports

Occupy protesters plan on hurting the 99% by their actions …

According to Reuters, Occupy thugs plan on shutting down West Coast ports Monday in an attempt to cripple a key supply chain of American commerce. So this is what Obama is endorsing from the Occupy protesters? In a time where the US economy is struggling, Occupy idiots plan on trying to harm the economy.

Anti-Wall Street protesters, hoping to briefly cripple a key supply chain of American commerce and re-energize their movement, plan to attempt to block major West Coast ports on Monday.

By marching on U.S. ports from California to Alaska, organizers look to call attention to economic inequalities in the country and a financial system they complain is unfairly tilted toward the wealthy.

The planned action comes after the Occupy movement that began in New York in September has seen its tent camps in most big West Coast cities dismantled in police raids, leaving the movement looking for new avenues to voice its discontent.

The Gateway Pundit is reporting that it was Barack Obama’s former “Green” czar who called for the closing of the western US ports. Of course it was, water seeks its own level. America, this is what Obama is at heart, a community agitator.

So who do these misguided Occupy fools think they are harming by their thug stunts?  As stated by the Lonely Conservative, “to the one percent this will be a petty annoyance. To the people whose livelihoods depend on their paychecks, this will mean a day of lost wages right before Christmas.” I wonder whether these Occupy insanoids give any of this a second thought? Then again, one would actually have to have the ability to think.

However, one would think that many individuals would be upset by the closing of the ports. Unions might have an issue with such a disruption. There comes a point when all will turn against the Occupy movement as it represents socialism and a threat to democracy. It is becoming more and more obvious that the actions of the Occupy protesters are harming the 99%, not the supposed 1%.

But unlike last time, when the area’s major unions gave tacit or outright approval, many of them see Monday’s action as disruptive and unnecessary.

And some occupation activists are labeling it as too confrontational, with the protest’s potential for violence detracting from Occupy’s stated intention of narrowing the chasm between rich and poor.

“Support is one thing,” Robert McEllrath, president of the International Longshoreman and Warehouse Union, wrote to his members last week. “Outside groups attempting to co-opt our struggle in order to advance a broader agenda is quite another and one that is destructive to our democratic process.”

EXIT QUESTION: How is it that Barack Obama does not condemn the Occupy protesters who are destructive to our democratic process?
