This poll (Rasmussen) is the best reporting poll on the Net. I don’t always like the numbers (:-)) but I feel they are honest. Take a quick read on what they have to say belwo about Barack Hussein Obama and how he and his policies are currently perceived by the voting public:
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Tuesday, November 24, 2009
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 27% 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 -15. This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama.
Fifty-two percent (52%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 68% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major political party, just 16% Strongly Approve and 51% Strongly Disapprove (
Forty-five percent (45%) want U.S. troops home from Afghanistan either right away or within a year.Forty-three percent (43%) are opposed to such a firm timetable.
Fifty-three percent (53%) of voters worry that the federal government will do too much when it comes to reacting to the nation’s financial problems. That’s up seven points since President Obama took office.
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, 45% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. That matches the lowest level of total approval yet measured for this president. Eighty-one percent (81%) of Democrats approve as do 33% of unaffiliated voters. Eighty-three percent (83%) of Republicans disapprove.
Among all voters, 54% now disapprove. (of Obama that is)
Support for the health care plan proposed by the President and Congressional Democrats has fallen to a new low of 38%. Sixty percent (60%) of voters believe passage of the bill will lead to higher health care costs.
All in all, it appears that Barack Hussein Obama is failing/falling in the eyes of the voters. It also appears that like the mid-term elections in 1994 when the Republicans took back both houses of Congress, it may happen again in 2010. Holy Moley, I hope so! I have to ask, as I often do, why is it that NONE of this is reported in the mainstream media?

go public option,Here i s a copy of the letter I sent (text only) to both my Democratic Senators (Burris and Durbin) let’s see what kind of response this brings. I always get a receipt acknowledgement of the letter/email from Burris but never any comments of explanation. Durbin always sends an explanation, usually after the vote and at times on a different topic than what I wrote about.
I REJECT and OPPOSE any and all forms of government-run health care — from the so-called “public option,” to the unconstitutional individual mandate that would force American citizens to purchase insurance. The Congressional Budget Office stated that “a mandate requiring all individuals to purchase health insurance would be an unprecedented form of
federal action.”
I also am outraged by the tactics being employed by both House and Senate leaders to push this bill through against the clear will of the American people. Crafting final bills behind closed doors and withholding the actual text of the bills until the very last minute are despicable political tactics.
I will not tolerate such action, and urge you to OPPOSE any and all forms of government-run health care plans that ignore the constitution and force me, or my family to comply!
We are watching your action,

Remember those $400.00 and $800.00 tax credits Barack Obama gave you in his stimulus plan? And remember that $250.00 gift he gave social security recipients?
Well, Obama decided he wants them back. Yep. According to the IRS, Obama has never asked for an adjustment of the tax tables, so millions of Americans are going to get taxed for having received the tax credits back in February – typically through adjustments the federal government demanded businesses make in employees’ withholdings
Why is this NOT being reported in the newspapers and on major TV networks? FOX NEWS has it, the Internet has it! Is it another liberal media cover-up for the administartion of Barack Hussein Obama?

I am going to use today’s post to bring you a GREAT column by Ben Stein who is one of MY favorite writers. Ben is the author of BEN’S DIARY in The American Spectator and has contributed to numerous other conservative media outlets.
*WE FIGURED HIM OUT! By Ben Stein*
Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized
medicine bill passed?
Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:
The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a
pig in a poke in 2008.
They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and
different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.
They ignored his anti-white writings in his books.
They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes
by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.
They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a
student.
They ignored his ultra-left record as a “community organizer,” Illinois
state legislator, and Senator.
The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a
student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being
touted as a scholar.
Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack
Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country,
way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East , way
beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and
our allies and our future. The American people have already awakened to
the truth that the stimulus bill — a great idea in theory — was really
an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to
help all Americans.
Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means
that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the
Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.
The American people already know that Mr. Obama’s plan to lower health
costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of
something that never was and never will be — a bureaucracy lowering
costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes
away.
These are perilous times.. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State,
has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified
betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at
home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to
“protect us” from global warming, itself largely a fraud if believed to
be caused by man.
Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he
delays at all in taking away our freedoms. There is his urgency and our
opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved
America .
Ben Stein is a writer, actor, economist, and lawyer living in Beverly
Hills and Malibu . He writes “Ben Stein’s Diary” for every issue of The
American Spectator.
**They may have ruined my country and yours.**
**You must as an American FORWARD this to all, or you will wake up one
morning and your freedoms are no longer there. **

As you know by now, Obama and Holder are planning on bringing the 9/11 masterminds to
NYC for trial. There is a massive grassroots movement to block this – retired members of the FDNY, theBravest.com, have partnered with 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong and America and Keep America Safe to bring attention to this travesty. They are recruiting the families & friends of the FDNY to combat this ill-conceived policy of the current administration. They are asking that all of America join in with them by signing their petition at the following link:
http://www.thebravest.com/fdny.htm
over the past 48 hours, 60,000 people have signed the petition. l heard the founder of thebravest.com on a NYC talk show tonight – he was in the WTC when it was hit, he is passionate about this, he is ready to go to the wall over this – he needs us to stand with him.
Pass this on to all your friends and ask them to also sign the petion and send it on to their friends.
Thanx

I just got this it was sent to me by a reader I guess. The site is there. Can you believe it?
Tell me it ain’t so…click on the link below!
I had a former employee call me earlier today inquiring about a job, and at the end of the conversation he gave me his phone number. I asked the former employee if this was a new cell phone number and he told me yes this was his “0bama phone.” I asked him what an “0bama phone” was and he went on to say that welfare recipients are now eligible to receive (1) a FREE new phone and (2) approx 70 minutes of FREE minutes every month. I was a little skeptical so I Googled it and low and behold he was telling the truth. TAX PAYER MONEY IS BEING REDISTRIBUTED TO WELFARE RECIPIENTS FOR FREE CELL PHONES. This program was started earlier this year. Enough is enough, the ship is sinking and it’s sinking fast. The very foundations that this country was built on are being shaken. The age old concepts of God, family, and hard work have flown out the window and are being replaced with “Hope and Change” and “Change we can believe in.” You can click on the link below to read more about the “0bama phone”…just have a barf bag ready.

Vice President Joe Biden’s favorable rating has fallen to 42 percent in a new Gallup poll, down from a high of 59 percent just after last year’s election. Biden’s unfavorable rating in the new poll is 40 percent, up from 29 percent last November. (Eighteen percent of those surveyed say they have no opinion of Biden.)
Biden’s average favorable rating during his time in office so far is 45 percent — well below the average 65 percent favorable rating for Vice President Dick Cheney during Cheney’s first year in office. Vice President Al Gore’s favorable rating during his first year, 55 percent, was also higher than Biden’s. (Gallup did not measure vice presidential popularity before Gore.)
Biden’s rating has fallen most dramatically among independents. Last November, 55 percent of them had a favorable impression of Biden. Now, it’s 32 percent. Biden’s favorable rating among Democrats is 73 percent, down from 88 percent last December, and among Republicans it is 18 percent, down from 33 percent last year.
Finally, there is a greater gap between Biden’s favorable rating and President Obama’s than there was between Cheney and President George W. Bush and Gore and President Bill Clinton. Biden’s 45 percent average favorable rating this year is well below Obama’s average of 63 percent. Cheney’s 65 percent average was near Bush’s average of 69 percent, and Gore’s 55 percent rating was close to Clinton’s average of 57 percent.
I have often opined that Barack Hussein Obama picked Joe Biden as his V.P. BECAUSE He knew Biden was never going to show him up while in office. Looks like Obama got one thing right!
Remember the words of Forrect Gump “Stupid is as stupid does”. this fits Biden to a T!

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
Dear President Obama:
You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived
and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure,I know nothing about you.
You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education
and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America
and culturally you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don’t understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and ‘class’, always blaming others.
You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists
who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the ‘blame America’ crowd and deliver this message abroad.
You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country
where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.
You scare me because you prefer ‘wind mills’ to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg
which provides the highest standard of living in the world.
You scare me because you have begun to use ‘extortion’ tactics against certain banks and corporations.
You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.
You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.
You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.
You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O’Relllys and Becks
who offer opposing, conservative points of view.
You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar
letter in 8 years.
Lou Pritchett
(Lou Pritchell is formerly CEO of Procter and Gamble)
TRUTH of LETTER – CHECK:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/youscareme.asp
This letter was sent to the NY Times but
they never acknowledged it. Big surprise! Since
it hit the internet, however, it has had over
500,000 hits. Keep it going. All that is
necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do
nothing. It’s happening right now.

“In 2004, London resident but Iraqi born billionaire Nadhmi Auchi flies to Chicago in a private jet and meets at the Four Seasons Hotel with Tony Rezko, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, and Obama. At this point both Blagojevich and Obama are aware that Rezko is already under investigation for illegal activities involving kickbacks for political favors – buy they meet with Rezko and Auchi anyway “(249)
The above is taken from the book: The OBAMA TIMELINE by Don Fredrick.
This is the Website for the book: http://www.colony14.net/
You will note the name of Obama financier, Anton (Tony) Rezko who is now in federal prison and also Former Governor Rod Blagojevich (Blago) who is former Givernor because he was impeached and is awaiting trial next June in Federal Court. These are two of Barack Hussein Obama’s corrupt best buddies. These three practice what is known in Chicago as “DOING THINGS THE CHICAGO WAY”! It is no wonder that with friends like these, Barack Hussein Obama is said to possibly someday end up in prison himself, a disgraced former Liberal President.
I have to ask the question; Why hasn’t the mainstream media picked up on this book?
I have ordered the book Fredrick wrote today and when I finish it, I will write a BLOG style “book Report”RWD

Easy-money mortgages is still provided, by the feds
Is the ghost of Ted Kennedy driving this?
Easy-money mortgages with little or no down payment for buyers/pigs with bad credit/no credit was a thing of the past? The money trough is open.
You can get the money today, guaranteed by the federal government.
Barney Frank and Chris Dodd at work:
Loans insured by the (FHA) have become “the new subprime,” and these loans are exposing taxpayers to the same kinds of soaring default rates and losses that brought down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as well as destroyed many banks and the private market for mortgage loans. Frank and Dodd don’t care as long as the shlubs that borrow this money vote for them and their party!
While private lenders learned a lesson from the mortgage crisis and are shying away from easy-money loans, the FHA has stepped in. The agency is backing for 37 percent of all mortgages used to buy homes this year.
After the collapse of the private mortgage market last year, Congress and the George W. Bush administration greatly expanded the FHA’s original Depression-era program aimed at assisting sales of modestly priced homes by more than doubling the ceiling on loans that the agency can insure to $625,500 while maintaining its loose lending terms – ensuring that nearly any home sale could be covered by the agency.
The FHA’s predominance was enhanced further this year when Barack Hussein Obama’s Congress lifted the ceiling to more than $729,000 for major urban areas and passed an $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers that can be accelerated for borrowers to use as a down payment on FHA loans and avoid any cash commitment to their home purchases. No money down on big money homes means forclosure in a year or two and a HUGE loss to the American Taxpayer!
While these changes were intended to be temporary and expire by the end of the year, given the fragility of the housing and mortgage markets, Congress is considered likely to extend them this fall. Of course they will, 2010 is an election year.
Use of the same bad credit practices that were at the root of the housing crisis, likely feeding further waves of default and foreclosure. But this time it is the taxpayer – not the banks – who could end up holding the bag.
The surging default rates of more than 30 percent on loans insured since 2006 by the FHA. That is not far below the 40 percent rate of default and foreclosure on the notorious subprime loans that ignited the credit crisis.
FHA’s portfolio is exploding and the taxpayer is now on the hook for 100 percent of the losses,”
FHA’s growing default problems are the results are the same – unsustainable/bad loans perpetuate the nightmare of foreclosures.”
It is estimated that 20 percent of the FHA’s entire portfolio of $725 billion mortgages will end up in foreclosure – and FHA agrees . It is predicts that the FHA will require a taxpayer bailout within two to three years. Yet, they continue to push the bad money out the door as the behest of Barack Hussein Obama and his minions in Congress like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.
One reason defaults are soaring is they are lending to homebuyers who haven’t saved enough to make down payments. Loans with little or no down payment (no owner investment) have high rates of loss is because the borrower has little or no financial stake in losing their homes to foreclosure.
The FHA requires a minimal 3.5 percent down payment – far below the 20 percent now required by private lenders.
Many borrowers have been able to avoid that minimal level of l investment in their homes. Obama’s administration is enabling these buyers to put up no cash at all allowing them to get advanced payments of the $8,000 homebuyers tax credit through arrangements with nonprofit housing groups and state housing agencies. The tax credit can be used the same way to pay closing costs.
Beyond the loosened standards on down payments, the FHA remains willing to make loans to people with low credit ratings, even those with histories of default, foreclosure or bankruptcy. Those with histories of default are far more likely to default again.
.
The FHA has a program that will help people who missed two or three payments under such duress by using the insurance fund to make those payments for them and then recouping the money when the property is sold – a provision that has been used in about 400,000 cases so far and could help to bring down the foreclosure rates on loans that go into default as a result of the recession. In other words, don’t even pay your mortgage, Obama’s boys will pay it for you! This is deceptive and covering up bad loans.
The agency also is considering tightening standards for borrowers who pose multiple risks, such as those with histories of default. Sure they will, after the FHA is in such trouble that Obama will have to once against use OUR money to bail them out!
Responsible lending would spoil the housing recoverybecause the FHA has effectively replaced subprime lenders who went bust. They’re under pressure by Barack Hussein Obama to prop up housing prices, and are insuring heaps of risky loans.
The FHA’s backers in Congress, led by House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat Congressman, maintain that high default rates are the price of Congress’ decision to use the FHA to prevent a complete collapse of the housing and mortgage markets in a time of extreme distress. What does he care, not at all just as he didn’t care when Fannie and Freddie went broke!
By keeping affordable loans flowing, particularly to the growing ranks of first-time homebuyers, the FHA has been critical to our nation’s economic and housing market recovery.
But even some liberal housing advocates say the FHA’s spectacular expansion is worrisome.
Given the huge ramp up in its lending in a very short period of time, it seems unlikely that the FHA has been able to adequately scrutinize the loans that it is buying.
While any bailout of FHA likely would be small the crippling of the FHA as a lender would be another blow to the housing market and would be a serious political blow to efforts to ensure access to mortgages for moderate-income families.
