Hey Obama & Democrats, 56% of Americans Say They Will Not Pay More Taxes To Fight Global Warming

Why is Barack Obama and the Democrats not doing the will of “We the People”?

Obama and his poll numbers are coming to realize that it’s not easy being green, nor is it what the majority of the people want as compared to creating jobs and reducing taxes.

Hey Barack Obama, Democrats and 8 Turncoat Republicans, here are some poll numbers you can believe in. 56% of Americans are not willing to pay higher taxes and utility costs (ie. cap and trade) to fight so-called global warming.  America is starting to get informed and have wizened up to the tax and spend liberal socialism of the Obama Administration. Is it any wonder why The One’s poll numbers continue to slide. America gave Obama the benefit of the doubt and wanted this President to succeed; however, Socialism and high taxes in the teeth of a recession is not what they bargained for.

Fifty-six percent (56%) of Americans say they are not willing to pay more in taxes and utility costs to generate cleaner energy and fight global warming.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, taken since the climate change bill was passed on Friday, finds that 21% of Americans are willing to pay $100 more per year for cleaner energy and to counter global warming. Only 14% are willing to pay more than that amount.

Consumer Confidence Takes Unexpected Slide on Obama’s Watch … Drunken Sailor Spending and Taxes is Economies Undoing

Confidence in Obama dealing with the economy is becoming an issue. Stimulus plan was not only pork, it was a turkey. The honeymoon is over.

Consumer confidence falls unexpectedly in June. Unexpectedly? With all the deficit spending, with all the socialistic government control of banks and the car industry, with all the stimulus money borrowed against our grand children’s future. Should it really be unexpected when even the President’s approval ratings are going down? On top of it all, unemployment continues to rise, even though Obama’s admin said it would not go over 10%.

It is a pretty sad state of affairs when Obama pal, George Soros, says that borrowing costs pose a threat to economic recovery.

The consumer confidence index fell to 49.3 in June from 54.8 in May. Economists polled by Reuters had expected a healthier reading of 55.0 for the month.

Billionaire investor George Soros added to the cautionary tone, saying that rising borrowing costs posed a threat to any eventual economic recovery.

42% of Americans Say “Cap & Trade” Bill will Hurt the Economy … Thanks Obama

A special thanks to Barack Obama and the House Democrats and 8 Turncoat Republicans, taxing people in a recession for a scientific myth. There goes the economy.

42% of Americans believe that the recently passed Democratic tax known as “Cap & Trade” will hurt the US economy according to a recent Rasmussen poll. The 24% who are unsure probably have no idea what “cap & trade” really is or the damage that it will cause. Once they are informed the 42% will go even higher.

Americans have mixed feelings about the historic climate change bill that passed the House on Friday, but 42% say it will hurt the U.S. economy.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 19% believe the climate change bill passed by the House on Friday will help the economy. Fifteen percent (15%) say it will have no impact, and 24% are not sure.

The Weekly Standard makes a great point in that once Americans hear that Democrats and elitist liberals call those in opposition and simply stating their opinion as treasonous to the planet, the numbers will grow.

And this gets to the crux of why cap and trade may end up being such a tremendous boon to Republicans. Not only do the American people oppose it by a healthy margin, but they are having it foisted on them by elites who smugly deride their opposition as treason to planet earth.

FYI to the uninformed regarding “Cap and Trade,” according to a study by the Heritage Foundation, the legislation would cost the average family nearly $3,000 per household per year.

America Has No Confidence in Government to Spend Stimulus Money Wisely and Trust Their Own Economic Judgment More Than Congress

If so many Americans do not trust government with their tax dollars then why are they not more vocal! At some point “We the People” are going to have to take our country back and make politicians accountable to us.

The polls are starting to indicate that Americans have no trust that the government knows what it is doing when it comes to the economy. They also don’t trust them to spend the money properly. In a recent Rasmussen poll, 76% of Americans think that the government will waste the $787 billion economic stimulus “pork” plan due to inadequate oversight. What, government waste tax payers dollars? This is a revelation how? It’s really easy to spend others people’s money.

Seventy-six percent (76%) of Americans say it is at least somewhat likely that a large amount of money in the $787-billion economic stimulus plan will be wasted due to inadequate government oversight.

Poll States that 50% of South Carolina residents say Gov. Mark Sanford Should Resign … Pics of Mistress Maria Belen Chapur

Half of South Carolinians believe that Governor Mark Sanford should resign from office. Personally, I believe Sanford should leave as well. He has disgraced himself, been derelict in the office and if should concentrate on his marriage and his family. What is the point of staying in the office where one is not trusted and as Hot Air states, there is no chance for higher office.

Half of South Carolina residents say GOP Gov. Mark Sanford, who admitted to an extramarital affair on Wednesday, should resign from office, according to a new InsiderAdvantage poll.

The survey, conducted just hours after the governor’s emotional press conference at the statehouse, found 50 percent of South Carolina voters want him to resign while 42 percent said he should remain in office. Another 8 percent had no opinion.

As I have stated before, the reason why Sanford must leave office is not the affair. It is because he went to Argentina and left his office high and dry of any leadership. How could anyone just abandon their post for a piece of tail and expect the job still be there for them? By the way, if you have not seen the woman at the center of the controversy, here she is.

Hmm … this might be another reason to leave.

In the end, if his own wife can’t trust him, how can South Carolina?

54% of Americans Oppose “Cash for Clunkers” Plan … Next up Cash for Dunkers

The federal government is now in the business of bailing out people with old gas guzzling cars. Or should I say tax payers are, good grief. However, like most spending plans that Obama and the Democrats are putting forth and passing these days, Americans are against it.

Next up for this White House will be a subsidy plan that pays individuals for “cash for dunkers.” Anyone who can successfully show that they have dunked a cookie in a glass of milk will be paid up to 70% of the cost of the carton of milk and bag of Oreo’s. Does this really seem that far fetched from this Administration?

In a recent Rasmussen poll, 54% of Americans oppose the Cash for Clunkers, 35% were in favor and 12% were undecided and watching Jon & Kate Plus 8 announcing their divorce.

Congress now has sent its “Cash for Clunkers” bill to President Obama to sign into law, but most Americans oppose the plan to encourage people to trade in old cars for new, more fuel-efficient models. Few adults plan to take advantage of the program at this time.

Obamanomics: 39% Now Blame Obama Economic Policies for Bad Economy … Up 12! Obama Slipping in Economic Trust of the People

Drip, drip, drip … American confidence in Obama economic policies eroding. Is it any wonder why Obama wants to pass his socialist, big government agenda ASAP.

Although a majority of Americans still hold the Bush Administration responsible for the United States economic problems, according to a recent Rasmussen poll there is a growing number of people now blaming President Barack Obama for the economy.

More important than the snap shot in time of a poll is the trending data. Voters are starting to blame the man in office for the economy and his policies as after all, the buck does stop with the President. This would tend to say that Americans no longer want to hear what one inherited, they want results.

While most U.S. voters still blame the Bush Administration for the nation’s economic problems, a growing number are inclined to blame President Barack Obama.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 39% of voters now say the country’s economic problems are caused more by the policies Obama has put in place. That’s a 12-point jump from a month ago.

Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll … Obama has Negative Approval Rating for First Time

This is a rather interesting poll from the Rasmussen Report, President Barack Obama has a negative Approval Index for the first time. His Presidential Approval Index in the past has been as high as 30 points. Please note that the Rasmussen Approval Index is calculated by taking the percentage of strongly agree and subtracting the strongly disagree percentage.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 32% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-four percent (34%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -2. That’s the President’s lowest rating to date and the first time the Presidential Approval Index has fallen below zero for Obama

See tracking trends.

What is most telling about this trend is that those that were once willing to give Barack Obama the benefit of the doubt now seem to have moved to a strongly disagree category. One can only presume it is because they have seen what Obama change really represents. This is hardly a good sign for Obama … no wonder he is looking to pass every socialist, big government plan thru at light speed.

Barack Obama’s Approval Ratings Fall to 58% … And So it Begins, Political Physics

A recent Gallup Poll shows that Barack Obama’s approval rating has slipped to 58%. This represents the lowest Gallup Daily tracking Poll approval rating for The One.

President Barack Obama’s job approval rating fell to 58% in Gallup Poll Daily tracking from June 16-18 — a new low for Obama in Gallup tracking, although not dissimilar to the 59% he has received on four other occasions.

6% of Israeli Jews See US President Barack Hussein Obama Seen as as pro-Israel, the Majority Say Pro-Palestein

Here is some more  Obama change you can believe in and not for the better …

According to the Jerusalem Post, only 6% of Israeli Jews consider the views of American President Barack Obama’s administration pro-Israel. In contrast, 50% of those sampled consider the policies of Obama’s administration more pro-Palestinian. Making points with long time allies. Thanks Barack Hussein Obama.

Another 50% of those sampled consider the policies of Obama’s administration more pro-Palestinian than pro-Israeli, and 36% said the policies were neutral. The remaining 8% did not express an opinion.

The numbers were a stark contrast to the last poll published May 17, on the eve of the meeting between Netanyahu and Obama at the White House. In that poll, 31% labeled the Obama administration pro-Israel, 14% considered it pro-Palestinian and 40% said it was neutral. The other 15% declined to give an opinion.

Why would Jews ever think that Barack Hussein Obama was overly pro-Palestinian? It certainly is a sharp contrast than the Bush Administration. One wonders whether the voting Jews in America will ever wake up and “smell what the Barack is cooking”.
