Deficit of Trust: Most Voters Don’t Believe President’s Assertions About Economy

Rasmussen Reports ^ | January 30, 2010 | by Scott Rasmussen

I don’t believe the figure of 5.7% growth in GDP that all the networks are spouting about.

I think it is just plain not true.

I also would like to see the figures from every quarter since 2003, which is the time period NObama is bragging about he topped.

I don’t remember anything like this lack of growth- especially in 2003-04-05.

"The scam is over." They knew it would be from day 1. Hence communist advisors, nambla czars, etc. I just hope they don't pull off a hugely damaging endgame.

Obama playbook from the very beginning---

Ban Bush, soak America

rearranged to spell Barack Hussein Obama.

We should have known (actually most of us did know)

[counterpunch]

“Americans are united in the belief that our political system is broken, that politicians are corrupt, and that neither major political party has the answers,” according to Scott Rasmussen

There is only one solution for this: repeal the 17^th Amendment.

If you click on the above link to Rassmussen, you’ll see some eye-popping stuff...not just for Dems. Republicans, by 75% think the GOP does not represent its base well. !!!!!!!! 45% think that by randomly selecting people out of a phone book, that those people would do better than Congress.

I'm one of them --

Push your local GOP Party and State Party to field candidates for every single race... ...there is a tsunami of epic proportion coming.

Yep

I am listening to Monica Crowley as I type.

She just warned it is about the "Saul A" transformation and can we stop him before it is too late.

But this got my attention today....

Papa Bush and Jeb stopped in to say hello for 35 minutes.

Did he just happen to be in town? I don't think so.

I think they went to give him a verbal ass whopping after he threw the separation of powers overboard at the SOTU speech. Also, Papa Bush went after some of his old buds on his famous Rolodex called him to go and try to talk some sense into this guy before the country goes down the toilet financially.

What we wouldn't give to have Charles Krauthammer give us his "professional" opinion of "O".

IMHO I still say he will resign because of mental instability, and the Dem's are going to ask him to stop their losses before he Destroy's their party...

Justice Alito is the new American Hero.

[my small voice]

What do you mean??!! He had the guts to state it like it is, promptly apologized, and ran crying down the hall! He’s supposed to be consistent, tough, and stand firm. I guess it was just an anomoly.

[xtinct]

Most speeches that are all about the loser giving the speech fail.

Obambi referred to himself 114 times.

And, the maggot is not taking responsibility for his and the elected Democrats actions... which he solely directed.

So, how did he think it would all turn out.

MA citizens (Scott Brown) are not stupid... and neither are citizens in the rest of the country.

a one-term president... possible impeachment if the GOP takes control in the Fall... even Illinois looks like it's turning on the maggot...

Do you think it might have something to do with voters finally picking up that ObamaNazi is clueless when it come to the economy? Political organizer, yes. Demagogue speech-maker extraordinaire, yes.

But knowing what he is doing as an imposter POTUS other than blindly follow Marxist socialism to destroy our constitutional republic - he has no clue what he is saying or doing.

[Soul Seeker]

Mm. That isn’t a fair representation of events.

He was pressured by the Republican leadership to issue an apology. He did but only for choosing the wrong setting. Then he spent weeks speaking out on the issue and won the point in legislation.

Since then I think I’ve seen his name once or twice on the sidebar. I don’t remember for what unfortunately but it has not been my impression he crawled into a hole and died.

The characterization of Wilson given after the incident was that he had a quiet personaility and was generally affable which is why close acquaintances were shocked when he did that. In otherwords his outburst was passionate but spontaneous. Out of character/nature. A tell of how offended he was I imagine to let loose against his nature like that.

You can’t make someone a leader and you can’t ask them to act against their personality. I don’t have the sense he’s comfortable as a leader. Doesn’t mean he can’t quietly perform valuable service behind the scenes. If you’ve evidence he isn’t, please present it.

>> Papa Bush and Jeb stopped in to say hello for 35 minutes.

Probably Haiti related.

Economy... or Defense, or the state of Health Care, or anything else for that matter. Damned Liar.

[wmposh]

Here in Calif for a modest living yes there was a slighty less tax burden, but Calif made up the difference So a net 0

[manc]

you know I am hoping someone can help me out with this

My wife and I have not seen any tax cut at all in any kind of way.

Can someone explain who this 95% of the people are as I do not know anyone yet who has had a tax cut.

I keep hearing this 95% all the time, and no one ever challenges him not that he gets questioned hard enough as it is but he keeps saying it and no one is disputing it.

[manc]

I nearly fainted when he said C,SPAN had been covering the health care debate.
It his lies all the time and his campaign speeches.
95% got a tax cut , WHERE WHO???????????????????????

open talks on health care, WHAT

saving jobs, like nearly 2 million of them, ER WHAT , WHERE, WHEN HOW
he says he did no deals and then his sidekick says he did the next day

there’s too many lies to write down.
Add to the speeches he gives which is just repeated from the campaign then you’d have to be the biggest fool yet to think this man is honest or tells the truth.

[manc]

you know Dems are leaving him, my MIL from MA is a life time Dem voter but has had enough of him and the Dems now.

It seems to me that those who still think he is the messiah are college students who are just too young to understand that words are not enough plus they do not live in their real world yet with bills, kids, jobs, taxes etc
there is the mostly black population who will always stay with him.
The perverts because they have no where to go to pass their sick agenda on.
and finally those old time Dems who have not understood that the Dem party is not that party they grew up with

[manc]

I’ve asked this to someone else but maybe you can help.

my wife and I have had no tax cut and we know of not one person who has, we’re not rich and we’re all blue collar hard working class not elitist yuppies

he keeps saying tax cuts for 95% but where, is it just around here that we’re in the 5% who never got it

he says it and no one is questioning him on this, not even fox, Beck, hannity etc

“What do you mean??!! He had the guts to state it like it is, promptly apologized, and ran crying down the hall! He’s supposed to be consistent, tough, and stand firm. I guess it was just an anomoly.”

It’s not like he’s going to jump and shout “you lie” every time he’s in the same room with Bozo, and he’d look like an idiot if he did.

[A message]

Last March the fed took less in withholding.

My paycheck increased about $35 a month for about a month until pay cuts and California tax increases kicked in over the year.

It was not a tax cut it was just a change in the withholding tables. This year the withholding tables changed again and as others have noted paychecks shrunk at the beginning of the year and for for my pay level about $15 a month.

There were no tax cuts just withholding changes and we are all paying for those withholding changes as we do our ‘09 taxes.

Just another instance of 0bama, YOU LIE.
