[MMJB1]

[Big P]

no im a registerd republican, you do realize that black people are republicans too right?

 

[SmokeyMcChokey]

he wont listen to what you have to say... and yes it struck a cord because all white people are now racist i deal with this on a daily basis, from ignorant sheeple like you.

 

[Haul me to Heaven]

Obama is not a real black man. People forget that he's 1/2 white. So to say he's black is to automaticly begin a conversation on the basis of race.

I don't care if he's the first purple people eater we ever had. Eating purple people is , well... just plane wrong!
He is the worst 1/2 white president we were ever forced to receive.

Forced?? Didn't you get a chance to vote? Just because the other side won, you really aren't forced and besides, most of the right doesn't accept him as president anyway. I guess using your logic, I was forced to endure 8 horrible years of the Bush presidency. Turnabout is fair play. After 8 years of Obama, the righties will be so tortured, they will not be able to field a decent candidate and another Dem will win again, My vision.

The media gave this guy a free pass.. And most Americans bought into his BS. Now the wheels are coming off the bus and everybodies looking for a new ride.

Both parties are controled by the puppet masters. Bush was a puppet and so too Obama. We, the people are punked more often by the press and our courts than most are willing to believe.

Why get in a twist over the 'president'? He's just a servant of global government./ He nor Bush really worked for the best interests of we, the people.
So.... Yes, you and me and everybody else in this country was 'forced' .... forgced into voting for one of their globalist pigs.

Yeah, I agree, it is always down to the lessor of the two evils. I, along with millions was caught up in Obama mania, But like always, he is failing to deliver on the most important issues, to me. He should have been way more interactive on healthcare and he is continuing both wars. He also isn't closing Gitmo on schedule, but one must aknowledge the fact that the pukes stood firm against every move he tried to make. If the democrats were as together as the pukes, a lot of reform could have been done. I'm at a point of wondering if Obama will have enough steam to win in 12. The only thing I can see as a win would be if the pukes run Palin, Please tell me that the majority of americans aren't ignorant enough to vote her in. I am strill a supporter of Obama, I just wish he would get his shit together and rid ripshod over the senate.

 

[Haul me to Heaven]

The division between the two parties is not as real as people are being led to believe. They are in lock step more than they are not.

 

[Big P]

i agree with medi for once,

i think if we nominate palin she will lose.


zero expiriance + zero expiriance = lost elections



the people are going to look for a seasoned servant they can trust beyond question


they will not want to take another chance with somone untested & inexpirinaced, there will be no giving anyone the benifit of the doubt in 2012


its reallly unbeliveable that people would give somone the benifit of the doubt in such a high position like they did for obama

i bet these same people would never give the benifit of the doubt to a unknown person just babysitting thier kids, but to run our country, "sure, why not, whats the worst that could happen right?"

somone whos know whats up and wont be chumped out and wont chump us out.


a man who loves america, not one who wants to change the best nation in this galaxy

heres your stark contrast my friends

man what a fucking clown, how many Saudi's do you think laughed at his ass?

a lot trust me im friends with many


.



guliani told this saudi to shove it up his ass after he gave him $10 million dollars for the 9/11 fund cuz the prince said it was our fault that this happend.

gulianni told him to take his money back and get the fuck outa new york

 

[Haul me to Heaven]

Sarah has more balls than the bozo screwing us and our country at present. I would take her over any Washington Deceit beltway insider.

Guliani is a good o'le bo for the most part. He will play the game for the globalists at first nod. But not Palin. I think she would fight for America in a way America has not been fought for in a very long time. Imagine what she would do to the Fed. I see her kicking their ass and making it public too.
Fuck the Fed and their bullshit currency.

 

[Iron Lion Zion]

Oh God, please do not tell me you would toss Giuliani up there...
Don't get me wrong, I am definitely a supporter of Republican ideals, but he is either completely ignorant to people of the middle east or he is just telling us what we want to hear.

My vision.

This term is proving so disastrous that Hillary will go go an other 'listening tour' in 2010 or 2011.

Nevermind that she said she would not run, she's said that before.

Anyway, she will pull a Teddy Kennedy on Obowma's Jimmy Carter.

In swoops Reagan (Pawlenty? Huckabee? Romney?).

Palin is a ditz. No apologies... she is. She served her purpose.

I hope she realizes that and runs for Senate or moves to one of the cable networks, maybe talk radio (I hate her dialect!).

After Brief Uptick, Obama Approval Slips to 47% the lowest rate ever recorded for a President at this stage in his term

New low follows slight increase after announcement of Afghanistan policy

by Jeffrey M. Jones
PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama's presidential job approval rating is 47% in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update, a new low for his administration to date. His approval rating has been below 50% for much of the time since mid-November, but briefly rose to 52% last week after he announced his new Afghanistan policy.

Any slight bump in support Obama received coincident with his new Afghanistan policy proved to be very short-lived, as his approval rating returned to below the majority level by the weekend, and slipped further to 47% in Dec. 4-6 polling.
Afghanistan is just one of many high-profile issues with which the president is dealing. Immediate public reaction to his new Afghanistan policy showed 51% in favor and 40% opposed, according to a Dec. 2 USA Today/Gallup poll.
Obama spent part of Sunday on Capitol Hill talking to lawmakers as they continue working on healthcare reform legislation. In the most recent Gallup update, more Americans said they would advise their members to vote against healthcare legislation than said they would advise them to vote for it.

"Thus far in December, Obama has averaged 50% job approval. That is similar to the December averages for Ronald Reagan (49%) and Bill Clinton (53%), who also took office when the economy was struggling."
​

Additionally, in recent days Obama has been ramping up his focus on finding ways to create jobs for out-of-work Americans, and is planning a major speech on Tuesday outlining his ideas for spurring job creation. In late November, Gallup found slight majorities of Americans disapproving of the way Obama was handling job creation and the economy more generally.
Obama travels to Oslo, Norway, this week to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. In October, Obama got a slight bump in his approval ratings after he was announced as the winner. Obama will also travel to Copenhagen, Denmark, to attend the global climate change conference.
In the new Dec. 4-6 Gallup Daily results, Obama's approval rating is 14% among Republicans, 42% among independents, and 83% among Democrats. Compared to his ratings in early November, when he averaged 53% job approval overall, his ratings are down three points among Democrats, seven points among independents, and four points among Republicans.
Thus far in December, Obama has averaged 50% job approval. That is similar to the December averages for Ronald Reagan (49%) and Bill Clinton (53%), who also took office when the economy was struggling. All other recent presidents elected to their first terms had approval averages of 57% or above in their first December in office.

Bottom Line
Obama faced significant challenges upon taking office, including arguably the worst economy since the Great Depression and two ongoing wars. Obama is actively trying to address these issues while also tackling some longer-term issues like healthcare and climate change. Over the course of the year, his approval ratings have fallen, perhaps due to lack of obvious progress on many of these fronts, but also perhaps because of the public's apparent reluctance so far to embrace the healthcare reform effort.
Obama maintains the support of more than 8 in 10 Democrats, though his approval ratings among his fellow partisans have declined over the course of the year. He has seen his approval ratings among independents and Republicans slide by at least 20 points since the beginning of his term, and now stands at a personal low of 47% approval among all Americans.
Gallup tracks President Obama's job approval daily and updates approval ratings among demographic groups each Monday.

 

[ViRedd]

There is no racism involved here. Obama is a Marxist ideologue who has surrounded himself with other Marxists and Fascists. They are spending us into oblivion, debasing the money, grabbing control of the private sector, and you can bet your ass that the next step is war. Look for something to start in South America that will cause us to get involved with our military.

This is nothing but history repeating itself.

RASMUSSEN POLL: Obama Job Approval Falls to New Low at 44%...

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 24% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -18.

That’s a one point improvement from yesterday when Obama’s Approval Index rating fell to the lowest level yet recorded. Prior to the past three days, the Approval Index had never fallen below -15 during Obama’s time in office (see trends).

As the health care plan struggles in the Senate, public opposition remains stable.Fifty-six percent (56% ) oppose the plan working its way through Congress while just 40% favor it. In Nevada, the health care bill is causing problems for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s bid for re-election.
The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook.

Overall, 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. That’s the lowest level yet measured for this president. Previously, his overall approval rating had fallen to 45% twice, once in early September and once in late November.
Fifty-five percent (55%) now disapprove.
Seventy-two percent (72%) of Democrats now offer their approval while
80% of Republicans disapprove. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, just 36% approve.

Seventy-seven percent (77%) of liberals approve while 76% of conservatives disapprove. The bad news for the President is that there are a lot more conservatives in the country than liberals. However, he gets a bit of a boost because 57% of moderate voters still offer their approval.

The President earns approval from 37% of White voters and 98% of African-American voters.

Check out our review of the week’s key polls to see “What They Told Us.”
Rasmussen Reports has released updated polls on the 2010 Senate races in Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and California.Overall, the results confirm the conventional wisdom that the mid-term election season is off to a tough start for the Democrats. However, there is a long way to go until November.

Scott Rasmussen has recently had several columns published in the Wall Street Journal addressing how President Obama is losing independent voters ,health care reform, the President's approval ratings, and how Obama won the White House by campaigning like Ronald Reagan. If you'd like Scott Rasmussen to speak at your meeting, retreat, or conference, contact Premiere Speakers Bureau. You can also learn about Scott's favorite place on earth or his time working with hockey legend Gordie Howe.

It is important to remember that the Rasmussen Reports job approval ratings are based upon a sample of likely voters. Some other firms base their approval ratings on samples of all adults. President Obama's numbers are always several points higher in a poll of adults rather than likely voters. That's because some of the President's most enthusiastic supporters, such as young adults, are less likely to turn out to vote. It is also important to check the details of question wording when comparing approval ratings from different firms.

Rasmussen Reports has been a pioneer in the use of automated telephone polling techniques, but many other firms still utilize their own operator-assisted technology (see methodology).

Pollster.com founder Mark Blumenthal noted that “independent analyses from the National Council on Public Polls, the American Association for Public Opinion Research, the Pew Research Center, the Wall Street Journal and FiveThirtyEight.com have all shown that the horse-race numbers produced by automated telephone surveys did at least as well as those from conventional live-interviewer surveys in predicting election outcomes.”

In the 2009 New Jersey Governor’s race, automated polls tended to be more accurate than operator-assisted polling techniques. On reviewing the state polling results from 2009, Mickey Kaus offered this assessment,“If you have a choice between Rasmussen and, say, the prestigious N.Y. Times, go with Rasmussen!” During Election 2008, Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com said that the Rasmussen tracking poll “would probably be the one I'd want with me on a desert island."

A Fordham University professor rated the national pollsters on their record
in Election 2008. We also have provided a summary of our results for your review. In 2008, Obama won 53%-46% and our final poll showed Obama winning 52% to 46%. While we were pleased with the final result, Rasmussen Reports was especially pleased with the stability of our results. On every single day for the last six weeks of the campaign, our daily tracking showed Obama with a stable and solid lead attracting more than 50% of the vote.

An analysis by Pollster.com partner Charles Franklin “found that despite identically sized three-day samples, the Rasmussen daily tracking poll is less variable than Gallup.” During Election 2008, the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll was the least volatile of all those tracking the race.

In 2004 George W. Bush received 50.7% of the vote while John Kerry earned 48.3%. Rasmussen Reports was the only firm to project both candidates’ totals within half a percentage point by projecting that Bush would win 50.2% to 48.5%. (see our 2004 results).

Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. The margin of sampling error—for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters--is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Results are also compiled on a full-week basis and crosstabs for full-week results are available for Premium Members.

Like all polling firms, Rasmussen Reports weights its data to reflect the population at large (see methodology). Among other targets, Rasmussen Reports weights data by political party affiliation using a dynamic weighting process. While partisan affiliation is generally quite stable over time, there are a fair number of people who waver between allegiance to a particular party or independent status. Over the past five years, the number of Democrats in the country has increased while the number of Republicans has decreased.

Our baseline targets are established based upon separate survey interviews with a sample of adults nationwide completed during the preceding three months (a total of 45,000 interviews) and targets are updated monthly. Currently, the baseline targets for the adult population are 37.1% Democrats, 32.4% Republicans, and 30.5% unaffiliated. Likely voter samples typically show a slightly smaller advantage for the Democrats.

A review of last week’s key polls is posted each Saturday morning. Other stats on Obama are updated daily on the Rasmussen Reports Obama By the Numbers page. We also invite you to review other recent demographic highlights

What is most alarming about our Community Organizer is that is is so delusional that he awarded himself a B+ for his job rating thus far (on 60 minutes last night.)
Wow!

This is going to be quite a wild ride for the next 3 years!
