‘We the People” Rally Against Obamacare in Washington … Kill the Bill, Kill the Bill

President Barack Obama … it looks like “We the People” will not go away. No Obama, these people are fired up and they don’t have to be prompted by a stupid tag line. There is a tsunami of anger and contempt forming over the policies and the manner in which Obama, Pelosi and Reid are governing … look out moderates and Blue Dog Democrats the waters have not crested yet …

“Kill the bill! Kill the bill! Kill the bill!” the crowd replied.

Tea Party goer’s crash Pelosi’s healthcare party. As the Politico stated, Tea partiers descend on Capitol Hill and although they hold no seat in Congress, they plan to make their voices heard and their Congressman held accountable.

A plan first hatched and heralded on FOX by iconic conservative Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) grew over the weekend as she e-mailed with a handful of colleagues. By the time activists started arriving at the foot of the Capitol around 8:30 a.m., it was clear no Republican leader could stay away.

Minority Leader John Boehner, Republican Whip Eric Cantor and Conference Chairman Mike Pence all spoke.

On Thursday, 10,000 people showed up to rally against Obamacare. CAN YOU HEAR THEM NOW!!! Fox News is reporting on the rally against Obamacare and Pelosi’s attempt to drive this terrible bill down the throats of America.

As a crowd of protesters shouted “kill the bill,” House Republicans on Thursday rallied opposition against the Democrats’ health care legislation, decrying the bill on the steps of Congress in a last-ditch bid to derail or at least delay the legislation heading toward a possible vote Saturday.

Thousands of protesters arrived by bus for the rally, which the GOP is calling an emergency “House Call.” The event drew the conservative “tea party” activists but unlike past rallies was officially sanctioned by House Republicans.

Republicans want those who attend to track down their elected representatives in Congress and put pressure on them to think twice about voting for the more than $1 trillion health care overhaul pushed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

US UNEMPLOYMENT Hits 10.2% … How is that Stimulus Working now Obama & Biden?

US UNEMPLOYMENT is now at 10.2%

How is that Hope & Change that Obama promised you now, one year later? Are you better off today than you were one year ago? Don’t ask the millions of employees who lost their jobs. Unemployment hits a 26 year high. For the first time since 1983 unemployment is over 10%.

Nearly 16 million people can’t find jobs even though the worst recession since the Great Depression has apparently ended.

But the loss of jobs last month exceeded economists’ estimates. It’s the 22nd straight month the U.S. economy has shed jobs, the longest on records dating back 70 years.

Counting those who have settled for part-time jobs or stopped looking for work, the unemployment rate would be 17.5 percent, the highest on records dating from 1994.

With unemployment still rising in the United States, employers still cutting jobs and not hiring; the Democrat controlled Congress looks to pass Obamacare and Cap & Trade that will all but destroy the economy. What are these people thinking? Hey Baarck, where are those millions of jobs promised and unemployment holding at 8% if stimulus was passed? So what is this administration doing to create jobs other than blaming Bush?

Just a reminder to Obama and his minions, the exit polling in NJ and VA said that the economy is the number one issue.

US Bureau of Labor Statistics:

In October, the unemployment rate rose to 10.2 percent, the highest since April 1983, and nonfarm payroll employment continued to decline (-190,000). The largest job losses over the month were in construction, manufacturing, and retail trade.

On news of the poor job numbers, the stock market fell this morning. According to the Labor Department, U.S. unemployment rose by more than expected in October and employers cut more jobs than the so-called experts forecast. But, we were told that the recession was over?

Here is the damning poll for Barack Hussein Obama … the tide is turning and the trend has started to blame Obama for the bad economy, not GWB. 45% of voters now blame Obama for the bad economy and 49% blame Bush. However, for Obama that is up from 37% a month ago. Obama owns this economy and blaming other will not work any more. What will happen to The One’s poll numbers when a majority of people blame Obama for the now double digit unemployment?

Buyers Remorse: Presidential Election Mulligan … If Vote was Held Today, Obama 45% Say Yes, 49% Say No

Buyer’s Remorse just one year into Obama Presidency … The Real Barack Obama has finally stood up and “We the People” reject it.

Just one year into his presidency and already voters have buyers remorse in the election of Barack Obama. According to a Rasmussen poll, if the election were held today only 45% of adults say they would be at least somewhat likely to vote for Obama. 49% say they would be unlikely to vote for Obama’s reelection. Most telling in this poll is that by a two to one margin, Independents would not vote for Obama.

Obama golfing … How fitting because American voters want an election Mulligan

Obama garnered 53% of the vote in the 2008 Presidential election.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% of adults say they would be at least somewhat likely to vote for Obama if he was up for reelection right now. Forty-nine percent (49%) say they would be unlikely to vote for the president’s reelection.

Rush Limbaugh on Fox News Sunday … Barack Obama is the Man-Child President … Obama is Immature, Inexperienced & In Over his Head

Conservative Talk Show host blasts Barack Obama as being the “Man-Child President”. Rush states that Obama is immature and that he is a child.

“He has a five minute career. He was in the senate for 150 days. He was a community organizer in Chicago for however number of years.  He really has no experience running anything. He is very young. I think he has got an out of this world ego. I think he is very narcissistic. He’s able to focus all attention on him all the time.”

“He is immature, inexperienced and in over his head.”

Chris Wallace asks Rush, it has been one year since Barack Obama was elected President, what has be done for and to the country?

Rush’s answer is, it has been all to the Country, not for the country. This administration is trying to destroy the economy and it has to be on purpose. Denial on Liberty and attack on Freedom. Rush states that the country has lost 3.3 million jobs since Obama’s stimulus plan, yet Obama trumpets these so-called 650,000 saved or created jobs. It would be difficult at best to praise Obama’s efforts with the economy when 10% unemployment looms on the horizon.

Chris Wallace asks, what about Obama saving the country from financial abyss and the 3.5% growth in GDP. Rush aptly and correctly responds that this is a myth and that there was no growth. The 3.5% reported growth this past Friday was the equivalent of a Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme. Talk about government propped up financials.

Rush states, “there wasn’t any growth in the private sector. That 3.5% growth came from two things, government spending on cash for clunkers. They just moved fourth quarter auto sales into the third quarter. And the first time home buyer thing. There is no private sector growth. There were no new jobs created, we are losing them.”

Chris Wallace: How about kept the country safe for 9 months? Rush responded with a laugh and then stated, “I don’t know how safe we are … Iran is nuking up … We can’t make up out mind in Afghanistan, we are dithering there”.

Cash for Clunkers Program Turns Out to be a Clunker … Tax Payers Pay $24,000 Per Car

The might have want to have called it “a lot of cash for clunkers.” Tax  payers paid a total of $24,000 per clunker sold. 

Turns out that the much ballyhooed Obama government cash give away program “Cash for Clunkers” was a real clunker. Under the redistribution of wealth subsidy program, a total of 690K new vehicles were sold; however, according to the automotive web site Edmunds.com only 125K of those were vehicles that would not have been sold anyway. So not only did foreign car makers make a mint off the “Clunkers” program, tax payers paid about $24K per vehicle. What a bargain. We can hardly wait to see how the government will handle health care.

Making matters worse, a fabricated incentive car buying plan contributed heavily to the US economy’s 3red quarter expansion. Of the 3.5% increase, 1.7% came from car sales. Of course what percentage of the remaining 1.8% increase was from the government subsidy first time home buyers tax break? However, that is another post for another time.

However, here is some food for thought, what is going to happen to the auto sales in the future when some 125K individuals just pushed up the date they would have purchased a vehicle and only artificially enhanced this quarters economic numbers? Also, out of the people who bought cars, how many did so because of the $4000 rebate and may not be able to pay the car loans? Sounds a bit similar to the mortgage crisis that go us into this mess in the first place. Can we look forward in the future to a bail out of the cash for clunkers participants?

RUT-ROH … CNN Does the Obama - Jimmy Carter “Malaise” Comparison … He Will Soon Have the Double Digit Unemployment

Let’s see, Obama is inexperienced, high unemployment, record deficits, cannot make a decision, week on foreign policy, leans toward socialism and apologizes for America. Yup, that would be the Carter Administration.

CNN states, “Is it morning in America, or has hope given way to malaise?” My how the mighty Obama star has fallen. First Obama had comparisons made of him to Richard Nixon and the enemies list with Obama’s ridiculous war against FOX News and the smack down that the White House received from the WH media press pool. Now comparisons of the Obamamessiah to Jimmy Carter and malaise. What’s next, will CNN dare compare Obama to GWB?

Nearly a year after the presidential election, the excitement of Barack Obama’s campaign has faded into the reality of an Obama White House.

As observers try to determine what time it is in American politics, they arrive at opposite conclusions.

To some, said Tulane University political scientist Thomas Langston, Obama is like Jimmy Carter, and the nation will soon hammer the nails into the coffin of a dying Democratic coalition just as voters, tired of the Carter “malaise” era, handed the White House to Republicans in 1980.

Barack Obama … the new Jimmy Carter? The comparisons are certainly there. What is perceived as a nice person, but an inexperienced and ineffectual President. Both of which were overwhelmed by the job and were disastrous for American both home and abroad.

Shortly after taking office, Carter’s approval rating peaked at 75 percent but dropped to the low 40s in a little more than a year. He entered office weighed down by a sagging economy, and eventually, the energy crisis, the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan and the Iranian hostage crisis took a toll on his administration.

Obama Gallup Third Quarter Approval Rating: Slip, Slip, Slipping Away … Down to 53% … Largest Drop for an Elected President

Barack Obama … You’ve come a long way baby … largest second to third quarter approval rating slide in elected Presidential history.

The MSM is always praising Obama for being the first black President and for being the first sitting President awarded the Nobel Peace prize. They can now praise Obama for yet another first as a President of the United States.

According the the Gallup Daily tracking, Barack Hussein Obama is the proud winner of having the largest second to third quarter drop of any elected president in history. More hope and change that we can believe in. Let’s repeat this so that the LEFT can comprehend what their Obamamessiah has just accomplished. The largest drop, -9%, of any US elected President.

Will “Blue Dog’ Democrats be so willing to back a President’s policies with this terrible approval rating trend?

PRINCETON, NJ — In Gallup Daily tracking that spans Barack Obama’s third quarter in office (July 20 through Oct. 19), the president averaged a 53% job approval rating. That is down sharply from his prior quarterly averages, which were both above 60%.

It is safe to say that the American people are dissatisfied and do not agree with Obama’s policies on the economy or healthcare. Obama’s approval rating continues to slide as Obamacare is rammed through the political process against the majority will of “We the People”.

The honeymoon with the American people is over. As Obama’s ratings plummet, the White House becomes more and more thin skinned and small in their attacks on Fox News and warnings to other media outlets to not follow Fox’s lead. Yet, Obama cannot make a decision on Afghanistan with troops, the stimulus plan was a failure, unemployment is nearing 10%. It is safe to say that the bloom is off the rose and Obama is in some serious trouble. So are Democrats that face elections in 2009 and 2010.

Even in Obama’s Europe, they are reporting that Obama’s approval rating drop is the worst in 50 years. Obama’s present approval rating of 53% approval rating is down from April’s 62% and down from his 73% when he entered the White House.

New Weekly Jobless Claims Rise by 11,000 from Previous Week to 531,000 … 10% Unemployment cannot be Far Away

More signs that the economy is getting better as per the Obama Administration. Hey Barack Obama, your stimulus bill just lost another 11,000 jobs. The US did not lose 520,000 jobs this week, we lost 531,000! Every state except North Dakota has lost jobs since the stimulus plan was enacted.

This most recent weekly addition of the subtraction of 11,000 jobs should continue to weigh down Obama’s approval ratings. Wait until unemployment hits the magic number of 10% and see what happens to The One’s approval ratings and this administrations spin that the economy is getting better. Americans have stated that job creating should be the President’s number one goal. These numbers are going to leave a mark.

The number of newly laid-off workers filing claims for jobless benefits rose more than expected last week, after falling in five of the past six weeks.

OUCH: Harris Poll has Barack Obama at 45% Approval Rating (-20 Favorability Gap Among Independents)

The bad polling news continues to come in for President Barack Obama. It appears that Obama’s recent Nobel peace Prize has done little for his approval ratings in the United States. A recent Harris Interactive Poll (full pdf results) has Barack Obama at 45% approval rating. In May 2009 Obama had a 59% – 41% approval ratings. That has all but reversed itself and then some as in four months Obama’s approval ratings are a -14.

H/T: Wake Up America

President Obama may have won the Nobel Peace Prize, but unfortunately, he is not winning accolades from the American public as his job approval rating continues its downward slide. In September, U.S. adults were split almost evenly on the job the President has been doing – 49% gave him positive ratings and 51% gave him negative ratings. This month, the number giving him positive ratings drops to 45% while over half of Americans (55%) give him negative ratings.

These are some of the results of The Harris Poll of 2,293 adults surveyed online between October 5 and 12, 2009 by Harris Interactive.

The approval ratings of the president by Democrats and Republicans are as one would expect with 77% of Democrats giving President Obama positive ratings compared to 14% of Republicans. Independents, however, are more down on the president as 60% give him negative ratings while 40% give him positive marks on his overall job performance.

Making matters worse, 3 in 5 Americans believe the country is heading in the wrong direction. As stated by Wake Up America, the public is dissatisfied with the direction of the country and Obama’s policies … the polls are starting to reflect “We the People” opinion of Obama’s agenda and not the fact that he is a slick Campaigner & Chief.

Hot Air has some more details on the Harrison polling numbers that should be causing much concern with the Obama Administration and those Democrats who wish to put their neck out on the line and vote for any of his socialist agenda like Obamacare and Cap and tax.

As the Harris summary mentions, the only age group Obama wins is the youngest (18-32), and only barely at 51%/49%, and only 10% of these think Obama has done an “excellent” job. He loses the other three age categories by wide margins, from 10 points to 22 points. Most troubling for Obama and Democrats as they close out their first year of single-party control of DC are the independents. Obama has a -20 favorability gap among unaffiliated voters, with only 6% rating him as “excellent” while 28% rate him “poor”.

The real question is just what politician in their right mind, risking political and reelection suicide is going to back the agenda and policies of a President whose poll numbers are in free fall? Less than one year into his Presidency, Barack Obama is going to be hard pressed to force Democrats, especially Blue Dog Democrats to vote for his socialist vision of America. Think these poll numbers are not weighing heavily on those who face reelection in 2010? How about the upcoming 2009 Governor races in New Jersey and Virginia?

Record Deficits for Fiscal Year 2009: $1.42 Trillion … More than Triple the Record Set Last Year … BTW, Where are the Jobs?

More Obama “Hope and Change” you can believe in … Record Deficits and no Jobs!

The numbers are in and the Obama Administration has just released (on Friday of course) the latest deficit numbers. OUCH! The deficit for Fiscal Year 2009 comes in at a record $1.4 trillion. This record is more than triple from the record set just last year.

It gets better, or worse as the case may be. Obama is currently projecting a total of $9.1 trillion in the coming decade.  All this and Obama claims that Obamacare is deficit neutral. Do you really believe that America? Interestingly enough, Harry Reid did not seem to think so.  Red State nails it, we have finally found something bigger that Obama’s ego … the budget deficit.

The Obama administration has released new deficit numbers, and they are not pretty.

The deficit for Fiscal Year 2009, which ended Sept. 30, came in at a record $1.42 trillion, more than triple the record set just last year.

In addition, future deficits are currently projected to total $9.1 trillion in the coming decade.

How much can the American tax payer and the future generations take? Wait until Obamacare, cap and tax and the rest of Obama’s socialist agenda are added to the mix. By the Way Barack, what ever happened to the jobs you promised from the $787 billion stimulus plan?

 Obama stated: “We have now lost 1.2 million jobs this year and if we don’t act swiftly and boldly most experts know believe that we could lose millions of jobs next year.” [Mr President, we did lose more jobs this year and your promise of 2.5 million jobs is a idle promise.

From the Gateway Pundit comes the following Obama promise reminder:

Last November Barack Obama promised to “create or save” 2,500,000 jobs with the record stimulus package he was planning to pass as president. He promised 2,500,000 million jobs…

But so far the democrats record “stimulus” package has only stimulated the economy enough to create only 30,000.

Wait, the exact number from The Hill is that data published Thursday showed contracts from the $787 billion economic stimulus created or saved 30,083 jobs.
