How did you get the figures? Is there anyplace we can confirm before I go shouting this around the office?
“ANYONE campaigning on a platform of “repeal Obamacare” will win by a landslide....”
That sucker gets passed...ain’t no way of repealing it. NO WAY will K St in DC give up its biggest source of revenue ever...nor will ANY political party willing yield the kind of power this bill grants. It passes...it ain’t going away without a mess...
WASHINGTON (AP) _ AN ASSOCIATED PRESS-GFK POLL SAYS THAT PUBLIC
DISAPPROVAL OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA’S HANDLING OF HEALTH CARE HAS
JUMPED TO 52 PERCENT.
THE SAME SURVEY SHOWS THAT 49 PERCENT NOW DISAPPROVE OF HIS
OVERALL PERFORMANCE AS PRESIDENT. IN JULY, JUST 42 PERCENT
DISAPPROVED OF HOW HE WAS HANDLING HIS JOB.
THE GRADE PEOPLE GIVE OBAMA ON HEALTH CARE HAS ALSO WORSENED
SINCE JULY, WHEN JUST 43 PERCENT DISAPPROVED OF HIS WORK ON THE
ISSUE.
THE POLL WAS RELEASED HOURS BEFORE A NATIONALLY TELEVISED SPEECH
BEFORE CONGRESS IN WHICH THE PRESIDENT PLANS TO MAKE A RENEWED CASE
FOR OVERHAULING THE NATION’S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. THE SURVEY,
CONDUCTED SEPT. 3-8, UNDERSCORES HOW THE POLITICAL CLIMATE SHIFTED
AGAINST OBAMA DURING THE SUMMER.
"President Obama argues that Democrats' "will provide every American with some basic consumer protections that will finally hold insurance companies accountable." Of course consumer protection sounds like a good idea. And it's true that insurance companies can be unaccountable and unresponsive institutionsmuch like the federal government. That similarity makes this shift in focus seem like nothing more than an attempt to deflect attention away from the details of the Democrats' proposalsproposals that will increase our deficit, decrease our paychecks, and increase the power of unaccountable government technocrats.
"Instead, let's talk about real health-care reform: market-oriented, patient-centered, and result-driven. As the Cato Institute's Michael Cannon and others have argued, such policies include giving all individuals the same tax benefits received by those who get coverage through their employers; providing Medicare recipients with vouchers that allow them to purchase their own coverage; reforming tort laws to potentially save billions each year in wasteful spending; and changing costly state regulations to allow people to buy insurance across state lines. Rather than another top-down government plan, let's give Americans control over their own health care.
"We often hear such overblown promises from Washington. With the facts in hand, tell them that this time we're not buying it." Sarah Palin - September 8, 2009
Sarah still has the left, the DNC, the MSM and the RINOs all in a frenzy wondering what her next move will be and how it will be perceived...they almost literally froth at the mouth in their efforts to discredit her.
While they do this, and further discredit only themselves in the effort, Sarah is going to write her book, give speeches and promote conservatie principles all over this country in the midst of the Obama administration disaster and gain great political capital in the process.
Then she will support conservative candidates in 2010 and help them win, amassing much more political capital. She will then take all of that capital and make an awesome, stunning, and successful run for the Presidency in 2012.
"...like that grizzly guards her cubs, as a mother naturally guards her own. I will keep that vow wherever the road may lead." - Sarah Palin, July 26, 2009
Could it be possible that he will no longer need the polls or the ballots in 2012.....?
He wants to be Prez for life..
Someone just posted it with the real title.
Yep i see it now...
My guess is he may have gone down about as much as he ever will considering how the libs never change their stripes. Last thing a lib wants to do is admit they’re wrong.
Hahahahaha...keep talking, Bambi, maan.
His ego makes him think that if he just keeps talking eventually everybody’s gotta be convinced..
People are seeing him for the stereotypical used-car salesman that he is. Which is ironic since his "cash for clunkers" program destroyed thousands of used cars. Now he wants to apply that technique to older people.
lol.... that graphic is effective, but, the MSM and Liberals wouldn’t “ GET IT “ the average folks will “ GET IT “ because of the LORD of the RING movie.
I have a life-long trusted friend that lived , married, and worked in Venezuela for many years...he and his wife and her family disapproved of Chavez...yet in their hearts never suspected he could or would be allowed to gather such power.....
His advise to me, BEWARE...and NEVER doubt the possibility.....
Exactly!
Dick Morris claims the opposite!
He says Obama doesn’t care about power or re-election and he’s just wanting to get “his agenda” passed no matter what the costs.. which is dangerous too.
I know a few arrogant people who never admit they are wrong and if they do make a mistake they lie and blame it on someone else.
None of it will be implemented until 2013. It won’t survive that long. Still, it must NOT pass at all!
Nice! :)
I don't disagree.....the key phrase is, "his agenda"......and that is socialist/communist and establishment of a dictatorship is self evident.
