CBS Poll … 54% say Barack Obama Does Not Deserve Reelection
Wasn’t it President Barack Obama who said that if he does not turn the economy around, he will be a one term President? Seems that the most recent CBS poll and Americans agree.
With less than a year to go before the 2012 elections, CBS poll says that 54% of Americans think that Barack Obama deserves to be reelected. A paltry 41% believe Obama should.Making matters worse for Obama is that by a 55% to 37%, Independents say that Obama does not deserve to be reelected. Other data gleamed from this poll, Americans believe that Obama has divided America, not united it. A majority of Americans are against Obamacare and believe it will hurt them, rather than help. Also those polled believe that Obama should have made the economy his priority, not health care.
Watch the VIDEO above, it is pretty bad when even CNS begins their analysis of Obama with a comparison to Jimmy Carter. OUCH! From the CBS poll comes that 75% of Americans believe that the country is headed in the wrong direction and 66% say that they have no clear idea what Obama wants to accomplish if reelected. However, my question to both of these numbers is how can only 54% then say Obama should not get a second term? So we have Obamamessiah worshipers that think America is headed in the wrong direction and an incumbent president who hasn’t a clue, yet they would still vote for him. Really? At what point are Democrats going to put country ahead of party?
Full poll results can been read HERE.
Less than one year out from Election Day 2012, voters remain overwhelmingly pessimistic about the economy, and their concerns are taking a toll on President Obama’s re-election chances. Just 41 percent of Americans think Mr. Obama has performed his job well enough to be elected to a second term, whereas 54 percent don’t think so.
The president’s overall approval rating remains in the mid-40′s, according to a CBS News poll – lower than the approval ratings of Mr. Obama’s four presidential predecessors at this point in their first terms. Mr. Obama’s approval rating is dragged down by his poor marks for his handling of the economy – which, at 33 percent, is the lowest rating of his presidency in CBS News polls.
Other data from the CBS Poll:
Has President Obama Made Real Progress Fixing the Economy?
Total Reps Dems Inds
Yes 28% 9% 52% 23%
No 68 89 42 72
Moreover, in 2010 37% blamed GWB for the economy, only 5% blamed Obama. In June of 2011, 16% blamed GWB and 8% blamed Obama. Presently, 22% blame Bush and Obama’s poll numbers have risen to 12%. The result of this is the closer we get to election, the more Americans will blame Obama for the economy. He will have had 4 years to have done something. Frankly, his policies have failed and his attention was diverted to his socialist agenda, not getting people back to work.
Barack Obama continues to have an approval rating in the low to mid 40′s, while he receives even worse polling numbers on how he has handled the economy. Needless to say, the economy is the #1 issue for Americans. What has Obama’s answer been to his poor polling date, increase the rhetoric of class warfare of course. However, as stated at Hot Air, this course of action has appeared to accelerate his declining approval rating rather than help.
It is time for “We the People” to take back America and head it in the right direction. When 75% of Americans say that we are headed in the wrong direction, its time to clean house and have an election with a clear mandate to government what is wanted.

Barack Obama Says, “More jobs in jobless benefits than Keystone XL Pipeline” … HUH?
Welcome to Obama in Wonderland … we are truly in an alternate universe when unemployment benefits creates more jobs than a work project intended to create jobs.
English might have been George W. Bush’s second language; however, it has become obvious the economics is not even in Obama’s top 10 disciplines. While trying to play the martyr, Barack Obama said that he will delay his vacation and keep Congress in session until the passage of his desired payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits extension. Then Obama said the unbelievable … that the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits extension would create more jobs than the Keystone pipeline. WHAT?
As Obama called for passage of those bills, he also responded to a recent Republican push to require him to approve the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada. “However many jobs might be generated by a Keystone pipeline,” he said, “they’re going to be a lot fewer than the jobs that are created by extending the payroll tax cut and extending unemployment insurance.”
Just curious, did this guy actually graduate college? If so, he certainly never took an economics course. Just curious, how does extending unemployment benefits create jobs? How do payroll tax cuts create them either? Is Obama just plain ignorant or does he actually believe the BS he is peddling? Ok, glad to see that I am not the only one who is scratching their head on this idiotic comment by Obama. As the Lonely Conservative opines, how is it that unemployment benefits create more jobs than a project actually intended to create jobs?
Is he insane? Unemployment benefits will create more jobs than a project that actually creates tens of thousands of jobs? Heck, the project would help offset the payroll tax cut he’s pushing for, seeing that 20,000 or more people would start paying income taxes, not to mention the other revenue the project would generate for the government. I guess he’d prefer to see those jobs go to China.
It sure would be nice to have a president with an inkling about how jobs and wealth are created.
This guy has got to go before he does so much damage that it cannot be undone. Never has a President needed to be voted out of office as Obama, since the misery index years of Jimmy Carter.

Sacrifice & Conviction? After Getting Ripped By Romney, Barack Obama Says He will Delay 17 Day Vacation Until Congress is Done Working
GUILTED INTO STAYING IN DC …
A funny thing happened on the way to President Barack Obama’s 17 day Christmas vacation in Hawaii. Obama has been guilted into delaying his trip by GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney. As reported at The Hill, Barack Obama has delayed his vacation to Hawaii until Congress completes its work on the payroll tax bill and has warned Congress to stay in DC as well.
President Obama is not vacationing in Hawaii with his wife and children while the extension of the payroll tax holiday remains in limbo, and has warned GOP congressional leaders to stay in town as well.
Obama had planned to fly to Hawaii with his family on Dec. 17 and stay there through New Year’s.
However, this is hardly Presidential leadership or some type of sacrifice and conviction on the part of Barack Obama. He had every intention of jetting off to Hawaii for golf and sun until Mitt Romney ripped him a new one and criticized him for his lack of work for the American people while they remain jobless.
Mitt Romney, who is running in part on the slogan “Obama isn’t working,”on Monday hit the president — hard — over a planned Christmas vacation in Hawaii, saying the president intended on “going off for golf in the sun.”
Speaking to Iowa voters during a tele-town hall, Romney said that Obama, an avid golfer, had more interest in spending time on the links than on fixing the economy.
“I have to feel that this president has been a failure. The other day I understand that [New Jersey Gov.] Chris Christie said that he was a bystander president. That he watches affairs and has not guided affairs,” he said. Obama’s “idea of a hands on approach to the economy is getting a grip on his golf club.”
However, it appears the rest of the First family will not sacrifice like the rest of America, Michelle and the girls are off to Hawaii leaving Barack home alone shooting hoops by himself. It is rather comical that Obama had insisted that Congress should stay in Washington , DC, yet he was going to go on a 17 day vacation to Hawaii. BTW, do the 99 percenters even get 17 days of vacation off in a year?

Barack Obama, It is Great to be Back in Texas, eh … Kansas … Idiot Moment, Job Losses Blamed on Technology
Barack Obama … further Lost in Smallness …
Barack Obama, ever wonder how dangerous one man could be? Obama wants us to go back to the days before computers, ATM’s and smart phones. Obama will not be happy until everyone is working as a bank teller or a telephone switchboard operator. No one should ever wonder why the economy is in the state it is … Obama is clueless, worse, he is dangerous.
As reported at Powerline, while campaigning in Kansas yesterday, “President Obama momentarily forgot which of the 57 states he was in.” More from the smartest President ever …
This was supposed to be a joke of sorts and slip of the tongue. Sorry Barack, we forgot to laugh. We the People tend to do this when the economy is in the tank and millions are without jobs. The real 99% can’t go on 17 day vacations to Hawaii.
However, that was not the eye opener that made America scratch their collective head. The “WTF” moment of complete ignorance came from Obama when he blamed job losses on technology. Huh? I guess Obama blames Al Gore, who claims to have invented the Internet, responsible for job loss.
“Layoffs too often became permanent, not part of the business cycle. And these changes didn’t just affect blue collar workers. If you were a bank teller or a phone operator or a travel agent, you saw many in your profession replaced by ATMs and the internet,” President Obama said at a campaign event in Kansas.
What king of complete and total bufoon is this guy? Seriously, and the Left called Bush stupid? Has Obama no understanding that making things more efficient that the economy becomes more productive? Does Obama not comprehend how many jobs have been created by the Internet? Does he them also blame Bill Gates and the late Steve Jobs for technology innovation? Are they to blame as well for the loss of jobs. How ignorant could one person really be? In this case because the individual is the president of the United Stated, how dangerous could one man possibly be?
Please rid the United States of this President in 2012 and help get America back to success and prosperity.

When the Going gets Tough … The Tough get Going … Barack Obama Off to Hawaii for Another Vacation
When the going gets tough, the tough get going … I guess Barack Obama misunderstood the meaning of this saying.
Unemployment is through the roof, millions of Americans are jobless, record numbers are on food stamps and federal spending is out of control. So what does President Barack Obama do … goes on a 17 day vacation of course to Hawaii. Many Americans struggle to pay their mortgage and try to have some semblance of a Christmas for their children due to the continued terrible economy, yet out non-leader sets the example by showing, he is not of the people. How could Obama perceive that this is the right thing to do? 17 days? There are only 12 Days of Christmas.
While most Americans are lucky to get a few weeks of holiday every year, it seems the country’s leader gets a little more freedom in the matter.
President Barack Obama has announced his Christmas vacation to Hawaii – for a staggering 17-day trip.
Obama, who visited the island just two weeks ago for an economic summit, will head to Honolulu on Saturday December 17 until Monday January 2.
Could a President be more out of touch with the American people? Why does it seem like this President is just after the perks of the office and could care less about the job? When you have a job approval rating prior to reelection worse than Jimmy Carter, the last thing you need to be doing is taking 17 day vacations. Sorry.
