GM, Government Motors, Buying Back Chevrolet Volts

Its not easy being green, especially when it catches on fire.  Yet another resounding failure of the Barack Obama, government owned, green agenda … GM is buying back Chevrolet Volts. What else could we expect from an Obama endorsed product?

General Motors will buy Chevrolet Volts back from any owner who is afraid the electric cars will catch fire, the company’s CEO said Thursday.

In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, CEO Dan Akerson insisted that the cars are safe, but said the company will purchase the Volts because it wants to keep customers happy. Three fires have broken out in Volts after side-impact crash tests done by the federal government.

Akerson said that if necessary, GM will recall the more than 6,000 Volts now on the road in the U.S. and repair them once the company and federal safety regulators figure out what caused the fires.

If its not bad enough that the Government had to bail out GM, now we are bailing out Volt owners who made the choice to buy these cars.

Barack Obama’s Approval Rating of 43% Lowest Ever of Any President at this Stage of Term in Modern Political History … Lower than Jimmy Carter

BARCK OBAMA … WORST PRESIDENT EVER!!!

Barack Obama is officials the worst president ever for this state of his term in office in the modern Presidential era.  According to the Gallup poll, Obama has a 43% approval rating. As compared to all other modern day presidents,  Obama’s approval rating is the lowest ever, including Jimmy Carter.

Mirror Images … Welcome to Carter’s Second term

President Obama’s slow ride down Gallup’s daily presidential job approval index has finally passed below Jimmy Carter, earning Obama the worst job approval rating of any president at this stage of his term in modern political history.

Since March, Obama’s job approval rating has hovered above Carter’s, considered among the 20th century’s worst presidents, but today Obama’s punctured Carter’s dismal job approval line. On their comparison chart, Gallup put Obama’s job approval rating at 43 percent compared to Carter’s 51 percent.

Barack Obama has been an EPIC FAILURE. His present 43% approval ratings compared to other president’s approval ratings at the same point in time during their terms.  Obama has hit a trend that his reelections minions cannot shake. Obama has consistently been at 43% for weeks. Only to be even lower in weeks prior to that.

  • Harry S. Truman: 54%
  • Dwight Eisenhower: 78%
  • Lyndon B. Johnson: 44%
  • Richard M. Nixon: 50%
  • Ronald Reagan: 54%
  • George H.W. Bush: 52%
  • Bill Clinton: 51%
  • George W. Bush: 55%

No President will be reelected with a consistent 43% approval rating. Obama’s approval ratings have literally politically flat-lined.

How bad is it for Obama? It is not like this is just one poll that has The One in the low 40′s. The RCP average has him at 43.4% approve, 51.2% disapprove.

Truth in Advertising … Georgia Business Owner Posts Signs on Trucks, “New Company Policy: We are Not Hiring until Obama is Gone”

FINALLY THERE IS TRUTH IN ADVERTISING … BUSINESS NOT HIRING UNTIL OBAMA IS GONE ...

Bill Looman, a former US Marine and business owner in Georgia is saying exactly what so many other business owners are afraid to. Looman posted on his trucks the following new company policy, “We are Not Hiring until Obama is Gone”. What, a business owner has no faith in Obamanomics and that Barack Obama is not a job creator, say it isn’t co.

A west Georgia business owner is stirring up controversy with signs he posted on his company’s trucks, for all to see as the trucks roll up and down roads, highways and interstates:

“New Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone.”

“Can’t afford it,” explained the employer, Bill Looman, Tuesday evening. “I’ve got people that I want to hire now, but I just can’t afford it. And I don’t foresee that I’ll be able to afford it unless some things change in D.C.”

Looman’s company is U.S. Cranes, LLC.  He said he put up the signs, and first posted pictures of the signs on his personal Facebook page, six months ago, and he said he received mostly positive reaction from people, “about 20-to-one positive.”

So what did Looman get for his efforts and a 20 to 1 positive reaction from Americans … a visit from the Secret Service of course. Can you imagine, an American uses their First Amendment Rights of Freedom of Speech and makes no threats what-so-ever and draws the attention of the FBI, Homeland Security and Secret Service. Only in America under this President.  However, as Looman stated, his comments are not political, they are economical.

Looman made it clear, talking with 11Alive’s Jon Shirek, that he is not refusing to hire to make some political point; it’s that he doesn’t believe he can hire anyone, because of the economy. And he blames the Obama administration.

This is the underlying issues that is simmering beneath the surface for the 2012 elections. It is obvious that Obama has been a total and complete failure as President in dealing with the economy. Obama has made it about his liberal agenda, not the US economy. For that he will pay a dear political price, can you say one term “One”der.

Blue Collar Democrats Abandoning Barack Obama … Half Say They Do Not Want Him as Party Nominee in 2012

According to a recent CNN poll, President Barack Obama continues to be underwater and has sunk even farther  as 44% of Americans state they approve of the job the President’s doing in the White House, while 54% say they disapprove. However, it gets worse and appears Obama’s class warfare rhetoric is failing. Obama need not worry about Republicans, he needs to worry about his own house. Barack Obama is losing the Blue collar Democrats. With a continues failing economy and Obama proving “ZERO” leadership as President or any policies to put the people back to work, Obama is pretty much losing all voting demographics.

“The biggest change comes among white Democrats with no college education, a group typically considered the core of the party’s blue-collar constituency,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “Half of all white Democrats with no college education say they don’t want President Obama heading their party’s ticket next year.”

Then-Sen. Obama’s appeal to blue collar whites was limited in the 2008 cycle. In the Democratic primaries they tended to back his main rival, then-Sen. Hillary Clinton. And in the general election they went for the Sen. John McCain, the GOP presidential nominee, by 18 points, according to CNN exit polls.

Full poll results can be seen HERE.

The following are some key aspects of this poll that will be damning to Barack Obama. The poll also shows that Obama’s signature piece of legislation, Obamacare, is opposed by 56%, while only garnering 38% approval. Also, a meager 38% of Independents approve of Obama’s handling of his job as President, while a whopping 57% disapprove. This a a greater percentage of disapproval that the poll in general. Having lost the Independent vote … Obama is toast in 2012.

Does this make Independents and blue collar Democrats racists?

OCCUPY BLACK FRIDAY: OWS Protesters Plan Demonstrations to Occupy Business Retailers on Black Friday

Could the OWS protesters be any more delusional or insane?

This Friday, Black Friday, the Occupy Wall Street protesters plan on demonstrating against business retailers on one of the busiest shopping days of the year. What is this supposed to accomplish, prevent the 99% who work in these stores from working? Preventing businesses from selling products and making a profit and in harming the economy?

FACE IT AMERICA … THE OWS PROTESTERS WHAT TO HARM THE US ECONOMY, NOT HELP IT!!! They are socialist and want to end capitalism, not help fix it.

Some demonstrators are planning to occupy retailers on Black Friday to protest “the business that are in the pockets of Wall Street.”

Organizers are encouraging consumers to either occupy or boycott retailers that are publicly traded, according to the Stop Black Friday website.

The goal of the movement is to impact the profits of major corporations this holiday season.

Hey OWS protesters, try getting in the way of a shopper on “Black Friday” when they are trying to buy a toy or electronic gadget for their kid, I DARE YOU!!! It is one thing to be a bunch of annoying, unwashed PITA’s, however, to confront John and Jane Q. Public and openly get in their way … GOOD LUCK. Look for the #OWS crowd’s poll numbers to decrease even more.

The Lonely Conservative says, “What better reason to stay home and shop right here than to avoid the disease and bug infected criminal occupy mob on Black Friday?” Although a part of me agrees, there is the other part of me that says, I want to go out on Friday and confront these dirt bags. Try getting in front of me and the rest of America and their First Amendment rights of free speech to speak with their wallets. However, we certainly agree that the continued nonsensical actions and protests of the OWS loons will show the real 99% that they do not support them.

Maybe Barack Obama would like to come out in support of this OWS demonstration and its attempts to harm businesses and the economy? Come on Barack, let’s hear it, after all, they are the reason why you ran for office.
