This is it. It seems that Speaker Nancy Pelosi is almost done twisting arms and leadership has just announced a vote in as little as 72 hours. That would make the final vote this Sunday. I am abhorred that Pro-life democrats are asked to vote on a pro-abortion...

Theres only one explanation, racism, just ask saint jimmy carter
Is it racist for me to snicker here?
*snicker*
Probably.
It probably wouldn't be considered polite to snort, giggle, chuckle, chortle, or smile. Let alone let out a big old belly laugh. Ol' Barry, he sure is on top of things, eh?
I can't wait till this Commie, Mao-loving, FAKE president is out of the Whitehouse!
He has almost taken down America in 10 months, all because of being politically correct.
Whites are afraid to say ANYTHING against Obama.
Democraps cry "racism" on everything others don't agree with.
He has NOT seen REAL Americans stand up and fight for our, NOT HIS, country.
I'm an Independent that couldn't stand Bush either.
When we are all wearing Burkka's and Chinese shippers, eating Taco's maybe you Liberals will wake up!!!
The more he talks the lower his ratings go. Go figure.. :-/
The more he talks the lower his ratings go. Go figure.. :-/
Someone better notify Rahm and David Axlerod; tell them the Big O's numbers are headed into the terlit. Flush it.
awe … is one his wings clipped? Who's a good boy… sit up … good boy
Uh Oh! Barry O just opened up another war.
In addition to the ongoing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the newly started war on FOX News, it was announced this morning on the Biz Wire that he is declaring War on Wall Street. Gonna sick his pay Czar Ken Feinberg on 'em. That'll show those evil capitalists. Watch this Bank Robbery unfold; it'll be no different than Crazy Al and Reverend Jessee shaking down folks with a bullhorn……..
GM,GMAC, Citi-Group, AIG, Chrysler. All the Givernment funded entities…………..
Rahms probably stabbing a dining table, and Axelrose is busy figuring out what is and isnt news.
Let's be real here. There are at least 15% of white people(maybe higher) who are deathly afraid to speak their minds about this buffoon of a president. They will speak their minds at the polls in 2010. I say his approval rating is below 30% and falling.
I sure hope he doesn't pass an edict making all the good looking gals dress like MoShelle or Bertha Lewis. There is something to be said though about those Burkas, a lot of those hairy legged, birkenstock wearing wimmen on the left could use a Burka……….
barry-oh is ruining this country: I would give him high marks for clarity of purpose and technique (see? I am not a racist).
barry-oh is also a communist with tyrannical tendencies and for this he must be vanquished to trash heap with his pal Jimmah Cahta.
Unfortunately, and as usual, we will get to clean this mess up for years to come. Has anybody found the reset button yet?

Funny. GIGANTIC Newz this morning.
Lesbionic woman Rosie O'Donnell has split with here gal pal. Thats big.
Come on, cut Barry some slack, he’s only six million off his jobs promise. How’s that “hope and change” working out for you?
I so wish I could go back into time and slap my kin in the face and say PICK YOUR OWN COTTON!!! Now it's time to get him out the the half-white house!!!
I track the Rasmussen "Daily Presidential Poll" regularly. What IS of interest aside from the net negatives is that the "Strongly Approve" numbers are dropping dramatically from 35% to 27% IN THE LAST TEN DAYS. This would suggest his moderate and middle of the road type supporters are leaving in droves. The "Strongly Disapprove" numbers are pretty static at 40% to 42%. This spells doom and gloom for the presidential putz.
Did you mean "BIG" in terms of newsworthiness ? Or….. "BIG" in terms of her personal geography !
polls like this are exactly why Obama made this announcement on pay cuts, he knows the surfs love it when you stick to those evil executives
You know I was being facetious.
Ol' Rosie has enough of a land mass, could be her own continent. Talk about a carbon footprint! She dwarfs Sasquatch.
Double entendre, could be gigantic like Michael Moore, could be gigantic on the View, or other leftist buzz traps.
I wish you were running for office
Yeah. Okay. Whatever. Troll.
Here’s a White House beer summit invite list I’d like to see:
*New Black Panther Party thugs Malik Shabazz, King Samir Shabazz, and Jerry Jackson;
*The Department of Justice trial team that successfully won default judgments against the NBPP for their Election Day voter thug tactics in Philadelphia last fall;
*The poll workers and election lawyers who provided sworn testimony about the racist behavior of the billy club-wielding Samir Shabazz and Jackson;
*Attorney General Eric Holder and any other Obama DOJ appointees who meddled in the case on behalf of the NBPP menaces;
*And GOP Rep. Frank Wolf of Virginia, whose investigation of the NBPP whitewash the DOJ continues to stonewall.
Let’s have President Obama lead an honest discussion about the “No Whites Allowed” sign on Jackson’s home pictured above (and please do note that Jackson is an official Democrat Party and Obama campaign poll watcher, as well as an elected member of Philadelphia’s 14th Ward Democratic Committee).
And let’s have a public conversation about this NBPP/Trenton chapter “block party” music video, which calls on black followers to “bang for freedom,” “put the bang right into a cracker’s face,” and if you’re going to bang, bang for black power… hang a cracker [unintelligible] . . .if you’re going to bang, bang on the white devil. . . . burying him near the river bank with the right shovel. . . . community revolution in progress…. banging for crackers to go to hell, we don’t need em:”
Welcome to post-racial America in the Age of Obama!
By dropping the case against the NBPP extremists who yelled “You’re about to be ruled by the black man, cracker” as they physically attempted to block poll watchers, crime-coddling AG Eric Holder — a charter member of the Culture of Corruption Dirty Dozen — has sent an unmistakable signal to these armed militants: Keep doing what you’re doing.
Judge the Obama bully boys by the company they keep.

(Some questions about whether these examples are authentic, so I’m moving them down here and looking for more verification. “The Obama Forum” is apparently a spoof site by anti-Obama website founders that many pro-Obama activists mistook for a real forum for their rantings.)
*Let’s have a teachable moment about this recent posting from defendant Samir Shabazz (click here or on .jpg below for full-size image), which declares: “i has waited all my life for the day that Strong black men could stand outside a voting poll in a Honk neighborhood and beat republiKKKan voters with a baseball bat to keep the motherf**kers from voting for they racist candidate and walk away scott free and be a hero in the Black community…it time we ante up on these white motherf***kers and take it to the next level.” (And yes, it’s really Shabazz posting, according to a source close to the NBPP case. He’s posted more than 1,400 times in this forum. Also note in his tagline that he lists ACORN):
…Guess what? They’re taking their cues. Another militant cheers Eric Holder for “standing with NBPP” and brays: “If they think the Philly voter booth incident was threatening wait till the census..or better yet 2012.”
Borat Obongo's Perpetual Campaign.
Last night, in the throes of the longest, and worst Recession in History (and according to Vice President Josef "Full of Hisself" Biden, a true Depression), The Great Leader had a THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLAR a plate dinner in New York last night.
Yes, you read that right.THIRTY THOUSAND BUCKS A POP. I wonder, was it a buffet? That is some high dollar quiche'. The Great Leader challenged attendees to "grab a mop" to help him clean up this mess. Wasn't that what HE was elected to do? Now he caint handle the job, and needs help?
He was there, at thirty grand a plate, and today has his jobs Czar cutting pay. He'll get the money one way or the other. Either pay for your supper, or he'll pick your pocket.
Speaking of mops, I wonder if MoShelle rode in on her broom……….
I couldn't get elected for dog catcher, let alone meter maid.
My prediction: This pay cap nonsense is going to make its way to government contracting. They justify it now because those companies are using "taxpayer money". (As if they care about taxpayer money.) Next step is "If you want to be paid with government money, you must have a "reasonable" compensation structure.
Actually they were complaining Tuesday about the lack of money coming in from Wall Street. Barry not getting his homage $. Timing on this not too surprising.
By the time Borat is through, getting paid for anything, anywhere will be a moot point. The value of the dollar will be worthless, and they will be paying in government script, or worse yet, barter vouchers……..
Now you have wrong he is doing a lot more than sitting on his hands, he is fund-raising and hitting the campaign trail. That he knows how to do very well. You see it is akin to community organizing.
Sadly our troops are suffering and sitting ducks.
Scram, ass****.
By what "Authority" is Obama doing this? Is it all by Edict? don't we have Laws anymore? Can Government ENGAGE in Interstate Commerce. (Constitution says they can "Regulate" Commerce, not" Engage in it".
22 fundraisers for Obamasky in first 10 months of his term. Bush II had 6. Is that racist to mention that?
Exception for UNION Contracts.
No please don't tell them, you will get some dead fish in the mail or something, or they will create another crisis to show us how good they are at crisis management. Look how well they managed the "mess they inherited" we keep hearing about that, look how many jobs they saved for a mere 700 billions or so.
It's simple…BHO and his cronies completely mis-read the election. They believed the hype from their own media that this was some how a mandate for socialism…it most certainly was not. We are a center right country and when times are bad, we turn to our roots and what made us the greatest nation on earth. Rugged individualism, not big government or a nanny state.
These numbers only reflect the awakening of the electorate.
Well I am smiling broadly, for all the times I had to roll my eyes at the ones who kept saying how good it was going to be.
Good point. How many of those "moderates" would you say are Obama voters who aren't ready to commit to "strongly disapprove" just yet?
If my Obama voting friends are any indication they have gone from "strongly approve" to just "approve" and are now drifting into "don't know" territory. It's only a matter of time when the "don't knows" filter into "disapprove."
The next few months should be interesting.
A Wall Street revolt is inevitable.
A Palin/Logic Ticket?
cut their pay by 90% and then see how many people cough up $30k for dinner…
-13 Yea baby
I just Love That Chart! Mmmmm, Mmmm, Mmmmm, Thank You x 1,000 Mr Breitbart.
Why isn't N. Palousey going t wear underpants when she's riding her broom this Halloween?
beep-beep, time's up. ANS: To get a better grip.
Yep, which is why these thugs are out trying to get ahead of it with the media, because they know there's stories coming down the pike….which will be the final flushing. They're scared desperate.
And Obama's pay czar is capping salaries at $200K !! For crying out loud, a middle of the road techy makes that much. Expect that these companies now to be run into the ground! It's all for Obama's image and class warfare to impress his "homies". I'm a technical recruiter and if one company will not meet their price, they just go somewhere else.
In the 1950s, observers in Britain noticed what they thought was an unusual trend: when polled, people tend to espouse more liberal positions than they actually favored, in large part because they didn't want to be perceived by a stranger as being cold and uncaring. But in the privacy of the polling place, their true feelings tended to win out. Thus, in the 1940s and 1950s, Labour tended to poll much better than the final vote tally's would otherwise indicate.
In the face of this onslaught of political correctness, it would not surprise me if these poll results are UNDERSTATE the disapproval rating.
One tends to forget, our forefathers left Europe and other countries for a reason.
I would not say that all the name-calling is really appropriate, no matter how mad you are. Sticking to facts and analysis with an open mind is sufficient to see a problem. I actually feel a bit sorry for Obama. He has surrounded himself with voices that give rotten advice, and he was already the dog that caught the car. His friends know how to spin the post turtle.
I don't think it will be Republicans that save the day here. It is pretty obvious they still have no clue how to bring unity to the center and conservatives. They only know how to distinguish from Lefties, or how to pick halfhearted candidates that they think will appeal to the middle.
Let's just hope Barry doesn't go back to the nose candy to "ease the pain" of his plummeting poll numbers.
LOL! I can't stop laughing!
Go back to ANY of his campaign 'promises' and you can see his lies.
Because of him I'm going to go invest in Euros until the dollar starts to rebound again.
Aussie Dollar, I'd say.
However, I should point out that we can't afford to grow complacent here. Just because some polls are showing dissatisfaction does not automatically mean candidates we favor will win in the coming elections. And while I believe and hope Rasmussen's polling is accurate, its got to be said that polls have been wildly inaccurate in the past and will be so in the future. For our purposes, its better to assume that the results are exactly opposite to what the poll states, and continue to fight from that point of view.

This poll proves that, however good a community organizer he may have been in Illinois, this great nation of the United States of America is not a community that needs organized. Perhaps he thinks that all 57 states are unable to care for their citizens in a globally minded manner? Another fine example of his lack of Presidential skills is the waffling in Afghanistan. He's lost, and so is his administration. They have never had to confront anything of this magnitude ever, nor split his base in a manner that actually comes close to the will of the people. This administration is so over it's head right now, the only thing they can do is find another/new enemy to combat domestically…Oh yeah, and continue to use Bush 43's policies already set in place (even thought it's Bush 43 who got us to where we are now, and everything Bush 43 did has been chastised and raked over the coals in an effort to thwart responsibility)
It's obvious when this administration is unable to deal with a problem, they have to remind of us all of the DANGER that looms at home, in an attempt to remind us all of how bad our own country is first. Foreign policy has never been on the minds of this administration. They have to much to accomplish at home first…You know, like making sure the Dollar collapses, and we have a nanny state, and etc…Fill in your favorite un-constitutional action to continue =)
But don't worry folks, any legislation this administration pushes through will be deficit neutral. And that we should not be alarmed or surprised that it IS possible for us to SPEND our way out of debt…Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Delicious!
Thank you, Nat'lAnthem. I agree the name-calling is unpleasant and self-defeating. Although I wouldn't go so far as to sympathize with Obama, because he's too deceptive to be sincere, I do think he's gotten himself in way over his head. The US Presidency is not really a post anyone can successfully "wing it" in, and there's absolutely nothing in his (known) resume that suggests he's minimally prepared for the job.
A scary video…history repeating itself….minister of propaganda…germany before WWII

This is just the tip of the iceberg. The polls are only a small cross section of people and I do believe the actual figures are -20 or less for his approval rating.
He can shmooze, he can campaign, he can eat $30,000 plates all he wants but it won't change a thing. He is FINISHED and If we start losing battalions in Afghanistan, he will be out before 2010. The people of this country will not tolerate any more of his shenanigans.
Obama and his community organizing mentality thugs always need an enemy, it's what gives them their sense of identity. Psychology 101. Fighting is what they do. It's like their forever stuck in adolescence. Always rebelling, if it's not one thing, it's another.
Next up: Obama will declare war on Rasmussen Reports.
Next week, watch out for the news that Kate has become a lesbeterian and is now in a relationship with Rosie. Rosie and Kate plus 10 or 11 or whatever.
Just wait until the death rate from H1N1 spikes. There was quite a bit in the news yesterday about the shortage of vaccines. The cognitive dissonance of the administration blaming shortages on suppliers – and pointing out the risk of having 4 out of 5 of them in other countries is hilarious. What do they think is going to happen to medical innovation and development when they tax the hell out of such companies to balance the bogus fiction of the health care reform budget. This is also the first time that the Feds have controlled distribution of vaccine – which they are doing with the expected lack of efficiency.
You really think any elections will be honest ?
They have not for last 20 years and you really think commie african, mexican, gay groups are going to make elections honest ?
As long as the obama gang can control the above groups even if every white person voted we still would now have less votes.
Understand why they wanted 40 million mexicans to have the ability to vote and thousands more break into out country every day
You see the proof in story after story of illegal things acorn has done and not one thing has done to jail these commie racists
Actually Euros and New Zealand are the 2 I went with today. Australia has done well, but is still a little if-y from the research I've done. Thanks though.
I like your comment and wish it was true.
However, I don't think there's enough intelligent people out there to make it happen (getting him out and tolerating him) by 2010. Nice to think about tho.
That chart is going to reflect a gigantic………………..'X'………………..when all is said and done.
White House soon will declare that Rasmussen is not a real pollster.

Mopping up the mess is above his pay grade (as well as his IQ)
They want to run everything the same way that Soros runs the dumbacraps…the means justify the ends. First off it is every Americans fault for letting the government get out of hand. All in the name of "progress." Totally unconstitutional…not to mention none of their damn business what someone else makes…at least they aren't stealing from the floundering social security or medicare funds.

Obama can you say " Do you want fries with that buger sir"????
I don't trade currencies, so I'm not in a position to talk valuations on specific days. I would be very leery of trusting the EU to keep the Euro strong though. I like the Kiwi idea though. Good luck.
center right? I wish… we are becoing left, left left… I want to live in your eutopia of center right , or even a little right
