It's About the Horrible Policies, Stupid

Obama is now convincingly a minority president. No, I don't mean racially.

I mean Obama now joins George W. Bush not only in the continuation of neocon foreign policies and big government profligacy, but (inevitably) that this is leading him to now consistently poll below 50% approval...and falling.

At 46%, President Obama's latest job approval rating is the lowest ever in Quinnipiac polls, and he has an upside down rating for his handling of health care.

The new survey (Dec. 1-6, 2313 RV, MoE +/- 2%), released this morning, finds 44% disapproving of the job Obama's doing.

More than half (51%) of independents now disapprove of Obama's job performance, while 37% approve.

Similarly : Obama's 47 Percent Approval Lowest of Any President at This Point

The public's fast-growing disapproval of Obama's arrogant power-mongering should come as no surprise, except perhaps to the most reality-oblivious and purely-partisan hopechangelings now hunkering down in the bunker.

The public is quickly losing confidence in everything about the Obama presidency, as well it should.

Even the mile-wide, inch-deep veneer of public confidence that may have existed in the wake of Obama's ascension will not be regained, if ever, as long as Obama continues to be an arrogant partisan ideologue, pursuing a messianic agenda in willful disregard of the deeply-held reservations of scores of millions of Americans of all political stripes...essentially a redux of the way George W. Bush did business.

It took Bush several years to fall through the floor in public approval. Obama is on track to exceed Bush's free fall in its breadth and depth.

And why not? Obama's policies are akin to Bush's worst imperial presidential one-party hegemonic power fantasies and control ideology...on steroids.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving charlatan.



And indicators like this certainly don't bode well for the Democrats and their massive ad hoc slapdash schemes to centrally plan all American life around leftist pipe dreams.

I believe most thinking Americans implicitly understand that the rise of comprehensive welfare statism (on credit) with the Obamanation run amok spells a future of economically moribund life in which maintaining lower middle-class trappings is akin to luxury...but of course life is worth living 'cause you have "free" health care.

As in : "Hey your life will be muddling drudgery largely in service to voracious tax parasites, but at least you will be able to get that boil lanced on the cheap...and maybe even prolong your life of servitude by a year or two!"

Millions of Americans can see that if this Obama-led runaway train over the cliff to hell isn't stopped and fast that they will soon consider it a blessing simply to sustain a bare semblance of personal and familial economic stability, scraping by on what is left after the central planners get through with everyone's resources and wealth.

As I have said about Bush, I will say about Obama et al :


Always wrong. Never in doubt.

The real progressives are desperate. They now realize they have been duped into believing Obama would actually take on the lobbyists, wall street bankers, military industrial complex, etc.

It is apparent we have a man who gave great speeches but also had the ability to use Martin Luther King and the policies of George Bush in the same sentence.

CNN reported Obama and his administration are not worried about 2012 election. There will be no opponet to Obama on the demorat side, and any repuke will be slammed. Doesnt it occur to anyone that neither of these parties are working the citizens and we should as good government citizens establish a party that works for the people, not the corporations?

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici

More of This, Please

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba
