CNN is not reporting that President Obama’s poll numbers are dropping into negative territory, but Rasmussen is.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -16. That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll
 
The love affair with “That One,” seems to be ending.  The vision of Hope and Change he campaigned on, did not allude to emptying the change out of every citizen’s pocketbook.  President Obama’s negative numbers are like so many Americans personal finances- heading into negative territory and debt.
 
Rasmussen went on to say:
 
Most voters think health care reform is something the federal government should be addressing, but they don’t like the plan that’s working its way through Congress. In fact, only 41% support it now, marking the lowest extended period of support for the plan yet.   But President Obama and the Democrats who control Congress are pushing ahead on the unpopular health care legislation anyway. 
 
The price of freedom isn’t free.  It is not an alienable right in America that a citizen gets necessities for free, and certainly not forever.  America was not founded upon being a welfare state, but that is exactly what we are becoming.  One thing you can’t call Obama, is a liar.  In conversation with Joe The Plumber, he told us exactly what his intentions were- to share the wealth, take us down a path to socialism and into a new world order.
 
CNN and the networks remain faithful in the love affair with the President.  He did just receive the Nobel Peace Prize, negotiate (without congressional authority I might add) a deal at the U.N. Climate Change meeting in Copenhagen, a speech on the economy pre-empting Charlie Brown, and reiterated our commitment to Afghanistan by offering another 30,000 U.S. troops. 
 
With so much accomplished in one week, wouldn’t you think the trending numbers would be skyrocketing in his approval rating?  What is bad for the President is apparently good for Fox News.  Fox is seeing huge increase in ratings because many Americans do not like how, and where the President is leading the nation.   Are so many Americans coming to think like Rush Limbaugh in that they want him to fail so he will not be re-elected?  How will  this bode for the Republicans and conservatives next year?

Their is gross incompetence at the highest levels of government and our elected officials on both sides of the aisle aren’t doing the job we hired them to do. I also need to point out that I’m not promoting some type of carefree attitude either where you just throw your hands up in the sky and never get involved in politics. I’m simply suggesting that we need to take a step back and see government, politics, and the political debate for what it truly is an extension of the spiritual realm disguised as an entirely earthly body.http://www.lookupfellowship.com/2009/11/now-playing-order-out-of-chaos.html  
Voters were misled that Obama, “That One,” was the One to lead us towards solving not only America but the world’s problem.  He is no Messiah, and heaven forbid if the current health care reform bill passes.  Likely, there are more words in it than in the Bible.  The Bible being the best selling book on earth is also the one book that most people have never read and like the bill, most won’t read every word of it either.
 
Thinking about the Bible, it would appear God’s polling numbers are up.  For most Americans, the December holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year.  According to the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, 52% consider the holidays joyous, a five-point jump in joy since last year at this time.
 
The vast majority (86%) of Americans say they will be celebrating Christmas this year. Four percent (4%) will observe Hanukkah, three percent (3%) will celebrate Winter Solstice or Yule, and one percent (1%) will take part in some other religious observance. 
 
 In the meantime, The White House will be mailing Holiday Cards, rather than Christmas Cards. 

I wonder if anyone at the White House will remember these images for use in the holiday cards from the leader of the free world, and current resident at the White House?

The State Dinner is on in The White House Tent! 

Via Greta on Twitter http://gretawire.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/11/24/more-pool-report-re-white-house-state-dinner/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogs%2FGretawire+%28FOXNews.com+-+Blogs+-+Gretawire%29&utm_content=Twitter

Rather than the event being hosted inside, the Obama’s or some other nin-com-poop idiot chose to set up a tent in the midst of November for the first State Dinner by The Obama Administration. “11 additional chandeliers hung from The Tent’s clear ceiling – three large ones were in the middle and four were hung on either side.”  Do ya care? 

On the menu is potato salad.  I wonder if it is the kind with eggs and mustard? Red Potatoes or White?  Sooooo not the point.

Really, how low can we go?  A tent.  I’d like to see the Saudi’s sit in a tent with Obama where he can bend over yet again to bow t0 the King.  Serving potato salad?  No Kobe beef? Too good for our allies?  Oh that’s right, many people from India don’t eat cow- we’ll then throw out some lobsters, snapper, pig, or something other than potato salad for heavens sake. 

Our debt is huge and India is an ally during a time when we need all the friends we can get, and this is how we treat our friends?  Stick them in a tent.  Are the Prime Minister, his wife and The Obama’s having a camping event later this evening?  Where are they staying?  Jeeesh- I’d hate to be an enemy. 

Whose tax dollars are going to pay for the lawn replacement from all the mud?  Ahh, The American Recovery Act- creating jobs.

Potato salad is certainly better than what our troops are eating most days even though they sleep in a tent if they are lucky, but is it okay for a dignitary?

How obscure, today is Friday the 13th, 2009.  A day of superstition that bad luck may befall you.  Wiki has all sorts of stuff on the day at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_the_13th

The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia, a word derived from the Greek words Paraskeví (Παρασκευή), meaning Friday, and dekatreís (δεκατρείς), meaning thirteen, attached to phobía (φοβία). writes http://mistermonopoly.blogspot.com/2009/11/friday-13th-links-paraskevidekatriaphob.html 

Turning to politics, White House Counsel Greg Craig will resign later today and will be replaced by Robert Bauer, campaign counsel, ethics expert, husband of Anita Dunn reports George Stephanopoulis via Twitter. http://twitter.com/GStephanopoulos

Bauer is Chair of the Political Law Group of Perkins Coie LLP.  He served as the Obama campaign’s general counsel and became the President’s private lawyer after the election. He is married to Anita Dunn, Obama’s outgoing — and exiting — communications director. http://politics.theatlantic.com/2009/11/white_house_counsel_gregory_craig_1.php

Bauer book on campaign reform can be found via  http://www.amazon.com/More-Soft-Money-Hard-Law/dp/1879650096#noop writes at the blog http://www.moresoftmoneyhardlaw.com/ to give you an insight on his thoughts.

Our thought is that Bauer is tired of defending Obama from the birthers and tea baggers.  Perhaps President Obama doesn’t want to jinx himself by naming his new personal legal council on Friday the 13th.

 A Malik Nadal Hasan has been identifed as the probable shooter who opened fire on his fellow Americans about to deploy overseass-  video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90zhlrQjjTM 

The Army major suspected of opening fire on soldiers as they were preparing to deploy overseas at the massive Fort Hood military base in central Texas Thursday may have been an Army psychiatrist who recently completed training in disaster and preventive psychiatry at Walter Reed Medical Center in the nation’s capital says, http://www.mcclatchydc.com/251/story/78425.htm

facebookWa la, how’d you like to be listed as one of Malik Nadal Hasan friends on facebook?  http://www.facebook.com/people/Malik-Hassan-Malik/1008970609#/profile.php?id=1008970609  Not saying this is the shooter, but someone with the same name.  Of course William Ayers is not the same Bill Ayers that visited the White House.

Twelve people plus the attacker were killed and 31 were wounded after a gunman opened fire at Fort Hood in Texas.  Fort Hood is the Army’s largest U.S. post.  One gunman is dead and two and two other soldiers are in custody. One of the dead is a civilian police officer, Fort Hood confirmed via  http://www.kwtx.com/home/headlines/69305427.html   

The Fort Hood Website currently says service unavailable, http://pao.hood.army.mil/.  LOCKDOWN.    

Fort Hood is a U.S. Army post located outside of Killeen, Texas. The post is named after Confederate General John Bell Hood, It is located halfway between Austin and Waco, about 60 miles (100 km) from each, within the U.S. state of Texas. via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Hood

Fort Hood is the largest active duty armored post in the United States, and is the only post in the United States that is capable of supporting two full armored divisions. In addition to the 1st Cavalry Division and the 4th Infantry Division, Fort Hood is also home for the Headquarters Command III Corps, 3d Personnel Group, 3d Signal Brigade, 13th Corps Support Command (COSCOM), 13th Finance Group, 89th Military Police Brigade, 504th Military Intelligence Brigade, the 21st Cavalry Brigade (Air Combat), the Dental Activity (DENTAC), the Medical Support Activity (MEDDAC), Army Operational Test Command (AOTC) formerly TEXCOM, and various other units and tenant organizations. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/fort-hood.htm

“I heard three or four volleys of shots with eight to 12 shots in each volley. Initially, I thought it was a training exercise,” John Fisher, Bell County commissioner for the precinct that includes Killeen, said the shooters were wearing military clothing, but was not sure if they were military. He heard reports that the shooting started in a barracks and spilled over into a PX http://www.forthoodsentinel.com/

Fox News TV is now confirming all three of the shooters were soldiers.

Official music video for Mike Doughty’s new song “Fort Hood” off of his Golden Delicious album. One commentator wrote via You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaB9dow1eR4 , ” Titled Fort Hood because that’s a place where sick soldiers come back from Iraq to heal up from mental trauma.

The real “meat” of the song is:
“I smell blood and there’s no blood around,
blanked out eyes and a blanked out sound,
I see them coming back motionless in an airport lounge”

We feel for the dead and injured but good lord, this is a terrorist act by American soldiers upon American soldiers whatever his religion is. Wtf? Why was it a local police official that brought a soldier down.  Where are all the AK 47’s that my tax dollars are paying for?

 President Obama’s response:  

“It is horrifying that they should come  under fire at an army base on American Soil,” said President Obama….  The extraordinary men and woman in uniform are properly cared for and that their safety and security is when they are at home is provided for.

President Obama, as Commander and Chief gets an F for the day for not providing the means prevent this despicable shooting and securing Fort Hood. Period. Why was a local police officer on an Army base in the first place? 

At the Soldier Readiness Facility, Press Conference| Mass Shooting By U.S. Soldiers At Fort Hood, Texas – 11/05/09 – Shooter Identified As Army Major Malik Nadal Hasan opened fire.  video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90zhlrQjjTM  The Army major suspected of opening fire on soldiers as they were preparing to deploy overseas at the massive Fort Hood military base in central Texas Thursday may have been an Army psychiatrist who recently completed training in disaster and preventive psychiatry at Walter Reed Medical Center in the nation’s capital says, http://www.mcclatchydc.com/251/story/78425.html  Additionally-

In June, Fort Hood’s commander, Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch, told CNN that he was trying to ease the kind of stresses soldiers face. He has pushed for soldiers working a day schedule to return home for dinner by 6 p.m., and required his personal authorization for anyone working weekends…According to the records, Hasan completed a residency in psychiatry at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. in 2007 and additional training in disaster and preventive psychiatry at Uniformed Services University Of the Health Sciences F. Edward Herbert School of Medicine, Bethesda, Md.

We’d like to be home for dinner with the family and have weekends off too.  That is not necessarily a reality in today’s economy for anyone.  Again we can’t figure out why it took local police to bring a soldier down.

According to http://abcnews.go.com/WN/soldiers-killed-fort-hood-shooting/story?id=9007938, The gunman used two handguns, Cone said. He wasn’t sure if the shooter reloaded the weapons during the attack.

Handgun use magazines and rifles use clips…Most 9mm handguns that are full size would hold between 15 to 17 rounds. Some manufacturers do make 20 rounders like Beretta and some can use 30 round mags like Rugers and Glocks depending on the model via http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080526172246AAjIR5O

In a gross offense to peace seeking Muslims, one commentator wrote via http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2379466/posts , ”

Why is anyone surprised? We already have a DIRTY MOSLEM TRAITOR in the Oval Office.  What’s one more moslem piece of garbage?

If he wore the uniform he was an American.  Look at this piece of shit American-

Accused serial killer Anthony Edward Sowell served at Cherry Point air station and Camp Lejeune in the 1980s while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. Sowell, 50, is charged with five murders in Cleveland, Ohio, after police found the remains of 10 or more people in and around his home over the past week.   http://www.enctoday.com/news/sowell-49263-nbsj-point-marine.html 

Innocent until proven guilty.  Please, God Bless America.  A moment of silence isn’t going to cut the rug for what is necessary to protect us from ourselves.

House leaders on Friday called for an “immediate and comprehensive assessment” of congressional cybersecurity policies, after an embarrassing data breach led to the disclosure of details of confidential ethics investigations reported WAPO http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20091031/ARTICLE/910311044/2112/BUS

The newly disclosed document remained available on public file-sharing computer networks, according to security experts although the paper declined to offer the link.

“People just want to be informed so they can be part of the process,” said Rhyne, who added that the public is less suspicious if such complaints are dealt with openly.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, the House Health Care bill would cost $894 billion over 10 years and extend insurance coverage to 36 million, covering 96 percent of Americans. It is expected to cut the deficit by $30 billion in the first 10 years according to Organizing for America http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/CloeAxelson/gGMy2r

This morning, Speaker Nancy Pelosi will unveil(ed)  the re-tooled Affordable Health Care for America Act (HR 3962). (Read the bill HERE.) with props to http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2009/10/29/details-house/ who notes that the legislation on the floor next week, with a final vote before “Veterans Day,” November 11th. At the moment, “House Democrats do not have firm commitment from enough lawmakers to guarantee passage of their bill.” One whip count has shown 23 centrist Democrats intend to vote against any health bill. Assuming that all Republicans vote against it, the bill can lose at least 38 Democrats and still pass the chamber.

From The Republican address on health care, delivered by Dr. Charles Boustany (R-LA) following President Obama’s speech to a Joint Session of Congress-

I read the bill Democrats passed through committee in July. It creates 53 new government bureaucracies, adds hundreds of billions to our national debt, and raises taxes on job-creators by $600 billion. And, it cuts Medicare by $500 billion, while doing virtually nothing to make the program better for our seniors.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkbZByZCvKU

Pretty lame that you have to dig through the site for the last health care republican response while Harry Reid, a democrat is right on the ball and front and center at in a new Web video posted Thursday, making the case for a public health insurance option and appeals to voters across the country to contact Washington to “push hard” for its inclusion in the final bill.   Read more at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/29/reid-calls-on-americans-c_n_339054.html.  If nothing else, Democrats have mastered the use of the Internet and every social bookmarking site in existence while with the exception of a few individuals GOP Republicans most certainly are lazy and inept.

The GOP Solutions for Healthcare’s  homepage at http://www.gop.gov/solutions/healthcare hasn’t been updated since Summer- barring a few links at the bottom and following Twitter Accounts from John Boehner at http://twitter.com/GOPLeader  where he offers:

10 Facts Every American Should Know About Speaker Pelosi’s 1,990-Page Gov’t Takeover of Health Care http://gopleader.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=152063

“I’m asking you to believe,  Not just in my ability, to bring about real change in Washington…I am asking you to believe in yours,”  President Barack Obama.  We are coming to believe President Obama’s changes are critical to future of America and her sovereignty and we are not alone-

The narrative of a President who is too pliable has been growing in volume since the summer, much to the chagrin of the White House. Nor is it coming only from the right. There are those on the left who feel let down by Obama and are infuriated by his “political pragmatism”. They object, for instance, when he refuses to push aggressively for the so-called “public option” to compete with private insurers in a new health care system, or when he declines to meet with the Dalai Lama in Washington because his agenda with China is more important to him. They even don’t like it when he brushes off a member of Congress openly calling him a liar as being unimportant.http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/obama-twelve-months-on-the-star-falls-back-to-earth-1811148.html

 absolute bullshit

In true transparency of government Politico points out the contents of the bill with text like – 

“(a) Outpatient Hospitals – (1) In General – Section 1833(t)(3)(C)(iv) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395(t)(3)(C)(iv)) is amended – (A) in the first sentence – (i) by inserting “(which is subject to the productivity adjustment described in subclause (II) of such section)” after “1886(b)(3)(B)(iii); and (ii) by inserting “(but not below 0)” after “reduced”; and (B) in the second sentence, by inserting “and which is subject, beginning with 2010 to the productivity adjustment described in section 1886(b)(3)(B)(iii)(II)”.

Republican Rep. Joe Barton, who is Texan, said the bill is “about four reams of paper” that add up to the American public “getting reamed.” http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1009/28904.html

Adding more wasted taxpayer dollars- the U.S. has spent $1.5 billion for the 250 million swine flu vaccines that the government has ordered so far and will be distributing free to doctors, pharmacies and schools. In addition, Congress has set aside more than $10 billion this year to research flu viruses, monitor H1N1’s progress and educate the public about prevention. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/big-business-swine-flu/Story?id=8820642&page=1  Hopefully with good intention, the program has resulted in the fact most 1 out of 5 children have already had H1N1 Swine and the vast majority of vaccines will not be available until after the Swine Flu Season has peaked- https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/swine-flu-vaccines-unused-government-healthcare-wakeup-call/

Where are Joe Wilson and James Traficant when you need them? https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/09/10/joe-wilson-apology-fingers-crossed/  “You Lie ” and “Beam me up,” come to mind as this reform bill comes from the depths of  hell for small business, taxpayers and patients.

 NKOREA

Dear America & Your New World Order:

     Happy Columbus Day, screw you.

Love, North Korea

Ready, Set, Launch.  North Korea is firing missiles again on yet another America holiday.  Today is Columbus Day, the anniversary of the day Columbus landed in “The New World,” America in 1492.

North Korea in another offense to The New World Order, while still coming to grips of the news of President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize, ” for giving the world hope for a better future,” has put another match to the fire.   CBS reporting via (AP):

North Korea fired five short-range missiles off its east coast on Monday, a news report said, even as South Korea proposed working-level talks with its communist neighbor. Yonhap news agency, citing an unidentified South Korean government official, said the North test-fired the missiles on Monday afternoon from its eastern coastal launch pad.

Yonhap said the North has issued a no-sail zone in an area off the east coast Oct. 10-20 _ an apparent indication it was planning missile tests. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/10/12/ap/asia/main5378314.shtml

North Korea’s communist regime has warned of a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula while vowing to step up its atomic bomb-making program in defiance of new U.N. sanctions.  http://www.newworldorderwar.com/tag/north-korea-missile-launch/ Last Saturday, October 19, 2009- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao telling East Asian neighbors at a summit focused on Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons and regional integration “”North Korea does not only hope to improve relations with the United States, it also hopes to do so with South Korea and Japan.” http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091010/wl_nm/us_china_japan_korea.

Testing long and short range missiles does not improve relations, nor signify an intent for peace-making.  Firing missiles into the Sea of Japan is nothing but a display of another rogue leader’s power, with an underlying purpose to tell America to “set sail” to it’s past history of economic, political and military might on this Columbus Day. 

The National Air and Space Intelligence Center, NASIC- headquartered at at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.  NASIC is the primary Department of Defense producer of foreign aerospace intelligence http://www.afisr.af.mil/units/nasic.asp. There is no official response.
