Time for Thorns

Check out the Rasmussen poll,  the Gallup poll,  and the  Quinnipiac University poll.     Does this mean Americans are finally starting to wake  up as their country is being destroyed?

I’d like to think so,  but I’m not betting on it.    Mainstream media is still the eager poodle of His Oneness and simply doesn’t report his flat-out lies.    In fact,  I think only FOX News reported on his whopper in Moscow about meeting his future wife in a college class,  which simply is not true.

If the Bush White House had a garden which tested positive for lead, do you think this is the only story you would have seen about it?   True,  the major outlets did mention it in passing,  but the focus was on the fact that the level was so low it posed no danger.    And almost none of them mentioned that children had been working on the plot and eating things grown there.     Eight months ago the headline would have read:  “Bush tries to poison children!”

The most you’ll get on the Obama administration is such amusing bloopers as this .

There are some rather interesting polls just out,  one from the New York Times,  here,  and another one done by pollsters Peter Hart and Bill McInturff,  here.

Too many people still believe the deficit is entirely Pres.  Bush’s fault,  but appear to at least realize that Obama  isn’t solving the problem.  The politics involved with the health care proposals should help point out the real numbers.

Or perhaps someone will trot out this chart showing just how badly the Obama team misjudged the stimulus impact — if indeed any of them actually ever believed their own forecasts.

The media has been telling us for 2 weeks now that Obama is THE MOST POPULAR PRESIDENT EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE!!

Well, actually his popularity during his first 100 days is right in the middle of the scores other new presidents received from the public over the past 60 years.

Of  more interest is the Rasmussen  Daily Tracking poll,  which shows that only 1%  more strongly approve of Obama’s job performance than disapprove.   The strongly disapprove number has remained fairly stable for 2 months,  while the strongly approve numbers have been on a slow downward drift.

A net 1% approval is NOT  what His Oneness wants,  regardless of media’s helpfulness in spinning the numbers.     It’s a bit hard to continue claiming that your election = a mandate   = everybody agrees with your policies and plans when the numbers show that about half the country thinks you’re headed the wrong way.

And as His Oneness and the Congressional Democrats institute more and more socialism,  and in a few cases,  outright fascism,  it becomes increasingly more difficult to lie about what you’re doing.     Notice that on the left,  which includes a large chuck of MSM,  they have switched the response from  “this isn’t  socialism”  to  “government assistance is necessary to save the economy.”

Notice that it is government  “assistance”,  not  “intervention,”  just as Obama always substitutes   “investment”  for   “spending.”

Only 53% of  poll respondents thought capitalism was better than socialism, and the younger they were, the less likely they were to think so.

That should surprise no one who has paid any real attention to 0ur public education system for the last decade or so.

Anyone still suffering from the delusion that Obama actually meant his lofty plans for bipartisanship should read this Pew Research data.    Basically, His Oneness is more polarizing at this point in his presidency than Pres. George Bush was at the same point.

Frankly, bipartisanship just strikes me as another word for consensus, which means “my way” to Democrats.  If the opposing party disagrees with you in principle, then its members can not in good conscience vote with you.

In the House, Democratic leadership is allowing members from moderate districts to sometimes vote against His Oneness so they don’t completely blow their chances for re-election.  But that will last only so long as the Democrats have plenty of votes to spare, and those moderates will be tossed in the meat grinder in due course.

Having been stupid enough to elect His Oneness, the American public is suddenly showing signs of the Hopey-Changey virus wearing off.  Obama must be hyperventilating at the sliding polls, here:

He’s already running around playing Chicken Little and claiming that the voters already approved his economic plans by electing him – never mind that he never gave any specifics:

And his poll numbers don’t include today’s move of capping executive salaries:
