March 25 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama receives lukewarm ratings from Americans, at least until you compare him with other major political figures and institutions.
Fifty percent approve of the job he is doing, a Bloomberg National Poll shows, down from 54 percent in December.
“The terrible economy has been a magnet pulling down Obama’s approval ratings,” says mark Mellman, a Democratic pollster who worked for John Kerry’s 2004 presidential bid. “The fact that he has only been pulled down to 50 percent is a sign of the respect and affection people have for him. Being at 50 percent is actually a pretty strong place to be.”
According to a completely unbiased source everyone still loves Barry. It's just the economy that's hurting Barry. The economy must be racist

If Americans ever forget that American Government is not
permitted to restrain or coerce any peaceful individual with-
out his free consent, if Americans ever regard their use of
their natural liberty as granted to them by the men in Wash-
ington or in the capitals of the States, then this third attempt
to establish the exercise of human rights on earth is ended. This curbing of Government is our defense against the
ancient tyranny that reigns in Europe today. This is the
protection of every American's life; it is his safety from the
Gestapo, the Ogpu, the torturers, the firing squad, the revolver
at the back of his neck in the cellar. Everything that an American values, his property, his home,
his life, his children's future, depends upon his keeping clear
in his mind the revolutionary basis of this Republic.
This revolutionary basis is recognition of the fact that
human rights are natural rights, born in every human being
with his life, and inseparable from his life; not rights and
freedoms that can be granted by any power on earth. 1943, BY ROSE WILDER LANE

Did anyone catch Steve Doocey's mangling of American History on Fox & Friends this morning?
In his eagerness to tamp down our violence, he stated that the violence during the American Revolution was OK, because Great Britain was an "occupier".
Evidently Steve-o was confusing British North America with Ireland.
In fact, in 1776 the British government was the legitimately constituted government of the 13 colonies, which was why the ensuing "violence" is called the American Revolution. Politically, revolution means the overturning of a constituted government or authority.
Britain was, briefly and sporadically, an "occupier" during the later War of 1812, that is true.
Up until F&F started with their anti-violence speeches this morning, I have been dismissing all this "right wing violence" as theatre staged by Axelrod and other Democrat operatives, but now, after that prissy little lecture, I am getting mad enough to ....

I haven't been able to force myself to read the news these days. I thought the Senate was going to trash the Reconciliation bill, but now it looks as though it's going to pass handily?
Seems ALOT of people thought the senate would let it die and sell the house out, I guess they figure they have nothing to lose now, plus they must like the student load thing-surprisingly I dont think I have heard that anywhere on msm about that being in there.

The so-called violence, I believe, is all being manufactured by the left to distract from their power grab. Hitler and Chavez have both used this tactic successfully in their "non-violent" take-over of the government and shredding of their respective Constitutions.
The In-Your-Face March past the tea party rally last Sunday by the revered members of the Commiecrat Party was childish at best, but was staged so they could use the floor of the House to denouce "teabaggers" which they in fact did and continue to do throughout this week. And just as Hitler manufacture the Kristallnacht as an excuse to focus the public's rage on the German Communists; Obama, Pelosi and their minions are trying to focus our nation's rage on Conservatives and Tea Partiers to distract attention away from their own nefarious schemes.

Obama has been pressuring Israel much more than any other administration to give up East Jerusalem - something Israel would be stupid to do.
This right here puts Israel / U.S. synergy in perspective - IMO

Obama's rapprochement with Arab countries at the expense of the U.S. relationship with Israel is an example of a president "acting stupidly" - IMO.

Not for long. If you don't hate the healthcare bill itself, you could hate the bullying they used to ram it down or you could hate the corruption and payoffs that brought it about. Old line blue-collar Democrats have been voting GOP in big elections for years. I think Stupak and the rest of the Dems have ripped the mask off and it will be hard for these Dems to stay in the party. Even the AFL-CIO is starting to realize that they are chumps in the new Democrat order.
And SEIU members should start to realize they are members of a sucky union. They're paying dues not so that they can get a good bargaining position, they're funding a little fascist political organization. Of course, in most cases they don't have a choice to pay dues.

This is beyond ridiculous, and a good clue that they want to escalate violence -- they're like that annoying kid on the playground; the one that pesters, calls names, swipes your stuff, even trips you, and then runs to the teacher sobbing if you so much as look at them mean. You wind up in the principle's office, and they get the attention they want.

Remember last year when once fired military brass cases were being shredded rather than sold in a form reloaders can use?
Well the order that stopped that is being end-run in another way that still keeps it out of the hands of reloaders.
What makes this particularly bad is that the contractor making this happen (ATK/Alliant) is also one of the biggest suppliers to the reloading community: Federal, CCI and Speer components, Alliant powder, RCBS tools. The also own the Outers brand of cleaning supplies.
I emailed them a nastygram last night: atk.corporate@atk.com
I will find other suppliers for my reloading needs until they stop this.

CALLER: For time immemorial, both state and federal regulation — and also just the industry standard — has been a 65-35 percentage arrangement: 65 in claims payment and 35 for administration and claims expense. Withholding that you store for, you know, a major catastrophe or something.
(snip)
CALLER: . . . So what Obama just did an hour and a half ago is make every insurance company in the country financially unstable. Remember, the 15% that we are left has not only to pay salaries, maintenance, upkeep of buildings; it also has to pay the 40% increased taxes that weÂ’ve got. I mean, thereÂ’s just no way. You canÂ’t do it.
HOST: Well, youÂ’re getting a little bit ahead of me here. What did Obama sign that changes this 65-35 split? In what way did Obama now sign you into permanent instability?
CALLER: The provision in the Senate bill requires that all insurance companies pay 85% of premiums collected every year in claims.
HOST: So the 65 is now 85?
CALLER: Exactly.Posted by: Y-not at March 25, 2010 08:27 AM (Kn9r7)

Pres. Obama is far ahead of most of his potential GOP rivals, according to a new survey, but he would face a tough contest from ex-MA Gov. Mitt Romney (R), who has gained ground on the incumbent in the last 7 months.
The Clarus Research Group, a non-partisan polling firm, surveyed 1,050 registered voters between Mar. 17-20 for a margin of error of +/- 3%. Obama was tested against Romney, ex-AK Gov. Sarah Palin (R), ex-Speaker Newt Gingrich (R), ex-AR Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) and ex-FL Gov. Jeb Bush. The trendline is from Clarus's Aug. '09 survey.
Allah's headline highlighted the Palin bit, so it has turned into a thread about social cons refusing to vote for Mitt.I'd like social cons to explain to me how throwing away their votes on a third party candidate - should Mitt-evil-devil-Mormon be the nominee - helps address the economy or national security.
I've concluded that my biggest problem with social cons is that they aren't Federalists. They are not, apparently, content to police themselves on the local or state level. How anyone could put social con issues above economic or security issues in 2010 or 2012 is beyond me.

"Stocks fell on fears that ____." or
"The stock market soared today on hopes of ____." Example (usually from CNN): "Stocks rose early today on hopes that the Democrats will maintain control of congress and further their agenda, but they dipped in the afternoon on news that Rush Limbaugh was still on the air."
