"President Obama's approval rating has dropped below 50 percent among middle-income Americans, according to tracking done by the Gallup Poll during the period from Sept. 7-Sept. 13."

(I emphasize Gallup Poll since you libs don't like Rassmussen. )

"This is the first time Obama’s approval rating has simultaneously dropped below 50% for both of the middle-income brackets tracked by the Gallup Poll. It also represents a dramatic decline in Obama’s support among middle-income Americans from Gallup surveys conducted earlier this year."

"A teacher was told by a 15-year-old high school sophomore that he was having homosexual sex with an "older man." At the very least, statutory rape occurred. Fox News reported that the teacher violated a state law requiring that he report the abuse. That former teacher, Kevin Jennings, is President Obama's "safe school czar." " "Mr. Obama should make clear what his standards are for public servants serving at the pleasure of the president. Encouraging and covering up man-boy sexual activity are serious offenses. The White House should force Mr. Jennings to come clean. "

"A lot of Americans want answers about this guy and how he was approved for a job in the White House."

...Andy Williams.

"The 81-year-old was a friend of the Kennedy family during the 1960s and was present at the Los Angeles rally where Robert F Kennedy was assassinated in 1968."

""I was very close to Bobby and he asked me to be a delegate for him when he ran for president," [Andy Williams] said." " "I was very close to Teddy Kennedy, too, and his death recently brought it all back. What a tragedy. Had he lived, I think Bobby would have been a great president." "

"But Williams had a less favourable opinion of the current president. "Don't like him at all," he said, "I think he wants to create a socialist country. The people he associates with are very Left-wing. One is registered as a Communist. Obama is following Marxist theory. He's taken over the banks and the car industry. He wants the country to fail." "

THE TIMELINE:

Fall 2008: During the presidential campaign Barack Obama promised to reinforce U.S. troops in Afghanistan, which he described as war we “have to win.”

March 2009: Obama announces a “comprehensive new strategy” for Afghanistan: “I want the American people to understand that we have a clear and focused goal to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat Al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan and to prevent their return to either country in the future.”

August 30th: Gen. Stanley McChrystal sends Defense Secretary Gates a war assessment in which he said more U.S. troops--and a new U.S. strategy--are needed if the U.S. is to defeat the insurgents in Afghanistan. Since then, US troops have been dying at a rate of about 1-1/2 a day, while Obama has taken no action.

Sept 21st: Washington Post leakes information from McChrystal’s confidential report, putting the White House on the defensive over its Afghanistan "strategy."

End of September: Obama said he was not willing to send troops “beyond what we already have” until he was sure the United States is employing the right strategy in the region.

What happened to that "clear and focused goal?"

Gen. McChrystal tells “60 Minutes” that he has talked to Obama only once in the past 70 days.

Sept 30: President Obama was “meeting” with McChrystal and other military officials in a video conference to discuss future plans for Afghanistan.

“But first, Obama welcomes golfing great Arnold Palmer to the Oval Office,” the Associated Press reportes on Wednesday. Palmer is in town to receive the Congressional Gold Medal.

That's the Drudge Report headline today, about Barak Obama his his ignominious defeat for the Chicago Olympics. I heard Obama got the least number of votes and he's out in the first round. What's so funny is watching the MSM's reaction. They are just aghast. They can't believe Obama failed so miserably. Obama's presidency is in a shambles; his domestic policy is failing, his economic policy is tanking, and his foreign policy is coming apart at the seams. They were SOOOO hoping to be able to report something positive about Obama, but no. The whole world screwed it up and voted for CHANGE.

Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Barak Hussein Obama!

From UK TIMES ON-LINE:
"It began before dawn — a devastating, well-planned attack. About 300 insurgents swarmed out of a village and mosque and attacked a pair of isolated American outposts in a remote mountainous area of eastern Afghanistan with machineguns, rockets and grenades...Eight American soldiers and two Afghan policemen were killed, with many injured. It was the worst attack on Nato forces in 14 months, and one of the deadliest battles of the eight-year war. The insurgents seized at least 20 Afghan policemen whose fate last night remained unclear...About 400 coalition troops have been killed in Afghanistan this year — the majority of them American."

"As Congress lurches closer to a decision on an enormous overhaul of the American health care system, pressure is mounting on legislative leaders to make the final bill available online for citizens to read before a vote."

"And as of now, there is no assurance that members of the public, or even the senators themselves, will be given the chance to read the [health care] legislation before a vote."

"The stimulus bill, for example, was 1,100 pages long and made available to Congress and the public just 13 hours before lawmakers voted on it. The bill has failed to provide the promised help to the job market, and there was outrage when it was discovered that the legislation included an amendment allowing American International Group, a bailout recipient, to give out millions in employee bonuses."

"Reps. Brian Baird, D-Wash., and Greg Walden, R-Ore., are circulating a petition among House lawmakers that would force a vote on the 72-hour rule. Nearly every Republican has signed on, but the Democratic leadership is unwilling to cede control over when bills are brought to the floor for votes and are discouraging their rank and file from signing the petition."

I thought we needed to crack down on illegal immigration as a matter of Homeland Security? Then why this?
"DHS strips Arizona sheriff of authority to patrol for illegal immigrants."http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2009/10/arizona-sheriff-joe-arpaio-says-he-will-continue-his-controversial-crime-suppression-operations-despite-a-department-of-homel.html

"[Sheriff] Arpaio said he will be able to still conduct the crime sweeps under state human smuggling laws and an obscure federal law that allows local police to arrest illegal immigrants."

"Obscure Federal law?" In other words, a law that the liberals don't want us to know about.

The Chinese have bought the Hummer division from GM (for what looks like 33 cents on the dollar according to the article). GM will still have to close the Shreveport LA plant, laying off the remainder of what used to be 3000 employees. But take heart. The Hummer's MANAGEMENT TEAM will still be working for the Chinese, and they will get to stay in Detroit or Auburn Hills! Isn't that wonderfull? The workers loose their jobs but the executives get to keep theirs! Obama's economic policies have saved Hummer exec James Taylor's job! Another job saved by the Stimulus Plan, by golly there IS hope and change!

While President Obama-Nobel has given the Federal Reserve responsibility for overseeing financial institutions deemed “too big to fail,” Oliver Williamson, co-winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics, says there’s no easy way to deal with the question of institutions whose failure might pose a threat to the financial system. “There is no silver bullet,” Williamson, 77, said at a news conference today at the University of California at Berkeley, where he is professor emeritus. “There is no instant answer that I or any of my students or any of my colleagues would be prepared to advance on that.”

"In his academic work, Williamson found that large corporations exist primarily because they are efficient and benefit owners, workers, suppliers and customers, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said today in Stockholm."
