Only 31% Give Obama Positive Grade on Economy & GOP Favored over Dems on 9 Out of 10 Issues

As President Barack Obama is providing America with a muddled message as to why the US is at war with Libya, what our mission is and what is the end game … back at home only 31% of Americans give him markets on the economy. Only 26% of those not affiliated with either party rate the president’s handling of the economy as good or excellent.  To make matters even worse for Barack Obama, only 22% of likely voters think that the country is heading in the right direction as compared to 72%  of voters the country is heading down the wrong track. 

The number of voters nationwide who give President Obama good or excellent marks for his handling of economic issues has fallen to a new low.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters show that just 31% rate Obama’s handling of economic issues as good or excellent. Forty-five percent (45%) say the president is doing a poor job handling these issues.

 More bad news for Obama and Democrats, voters favor Republicans over Democrats on 9 out of 10 political issues.

The GOP leads Democrats on the following issues:  Economy 47% - 39%, Health Care 46% - 42%,  Education 42% – 39%,  Iraq 48% – 35%,  Immigration 48% - 35%, Afghanistan 46% – 36%,  Government Ethics 38% –  33%,  National Security 53% -  34% and  Taxes   48% – 37%.

Oops, President Barack Obama Confuses Iraq & Afghanistan … “Combat Operations in Afghanistan Have Ended”

Barack Obama, oh he’s Reaganesque all right, NOT!

During a recent interview, as reported by the Politico, Obama made a complete muddled mess out of  out of his plans for withdrawing troops from the region. The Commander in Chief stated, “Combat Operations in Afghanistan Have Ended.”Really, who knew? I guess we can blame the gaffe on Obama’s teleprompter because we all know that the MSM will never question him on his glaring mistake. Doesn’t it instill confidence in America that their president does not know the difference between Iraq and Afghanistan? This coming from the man who the media calls the smartest president ever.

Who needs VP Joe Biden for gaffes when we have Barack Hussein Obama …

“As I said, we will be out of Afghanistan by the end of this year… Combat operations in Afghanistan have ended.” 

Video hat Tip: Gateway Pundit

Can you imagine the hue and cry that would have gone out through out the land by the MSM if GWB or Reagan had made such a gaffe? What about Sarah Palin? But for some reason Barack Obama always gets a free pass on all of his screw ups. What else would one expect from a bias media.

Leaked Documents Say the Damnedest Things … Wikileak Docs Show There were WMD’s in Iraq

In 2010 all the liberal memes have been debunked … now for Iraq and WMD’s.

It is the law of unintended consequences … Wikileaks documents show that Sadam Hussein did have WMD’s in Iraq after all. As stated at Hot Air, it is not so much the data that is the surprise, but the source instead. So contrary to the liberal MSM’s belief, the leaked docuemnts  showed that although the US did not find massive stockpiles,  ”the US did find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and in significant quantities”. 

The WikiLeaksters seem to have inadvertently done history a bit of a favor in the their obsession, with the help of heavy-breathing media mouthpieces like the New York Times, to release classified military documents.

It seems that some of those documents reveal the utter untruthfulness of a core claim of Iraq War opponents, namely that “We now know that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.”

Gallup Poll: Americans Give Republicans Advantage Over Democrats on Economy, Immigration, Terrorism and Federal Spending

The Democrats have fallen and they can’t get up.

Less than two months before the 2010 midterm elections and according to a Gallup poll, American voters give Republicans the advantage over Democrats on the number one issue of the day, the economy. Americans rated the economy as the the most extremely important issue at 62% and 31% very important while 60% rated jobs extremely important and 32% rated very important. Both of the top two issues the voters rated Republicans over Democrats. With continued failed jobs reports and the Obama Summer of non-Recovery, matters will only get worse for Democrats.

A new USA Today/Gallup poll finds Americans saying the Republicans in Congress would do a better job than the Democrats in Congress of handling seven of nine key election issues. The parties are essentially tied on healthcare, with the environment being the lone Democratic strength.

The last Rasmussen poll showed that Republicans were trusted over Democrats on all of the top 10 issues of the day.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Obama … Questions on Iraq, nah … “we are buying shrimp”

Talk about the Obama Presidency in a microcosm …

Obama to reporter, don’t bother me with important, critical world events … can’t you see I am on vacation buying shrimp. It turns out Obama cannot chew gum and walk at the same time.

So much for those working vacations that the MSM likes to say that President Obama does. When asked the other day while he was on his 6th vacation of the year and after his countless number rounds of golf, the press asked “The once Chosen One” a question regarding Iraq and the increase of violence there after he had declared “mission accomplished” and had the majority of US forces leave.

Obama’s response, “We’re buying shrimp guys.”

Were not we told that Barack Obama could “walk and chew gum at the same time?” It would seem that Obama cannot buy Shrimp and answer a reporters question at the same time. “We are buying shrimp” … words of wisdom from out “Golfer” in Chief. Just curious, did the shrimp come from the Gulf Coast?

Wonder if Obama got some shrimin’ tips from Bubba?

Bubba: Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that’s about it.
