Americans Continue to Give Obama Low Marks on the Economy

Low rating on the economy may be more problematic than even lower deficit rating

PRINCETON, NJ -- Three months before the election, President Barack Obama gets good marks from Americans for his handling of terrorism, fair marks for education and foreign affairs, but poor marks on immigration and three big economic issues: the federal budget deficit, creating jobs, and the economy generally.

Team Obama has made several bald-faced blunders----with ominous results:
Ominous results s right.

Barry's internal poll numbers show that he's getting creamed by Romney since Ryan was selected. This is from 'an inside source' in O'Dummie's campaign. And Romney's internals show the same thing (Per Glenn Beck Monday on GBTV).

Prolly why this is on Drudge this am; Barry: 'time to put them away'.
The commie-in-chief is desperate now.

Oh. And this won't help Obammy's image...

RE :”I deserve a couple of lashes with a wet noodle for entertaining the thought that Ryan was more than he is. Then I started listening, and my oh my, he’s as big a spinner as the rest of them are.

I recall first noticing Ryan in the limelight early 2010 during that Town Hall debate between Republicans and Obama on Obama-care/Health Care reform.

FNC, the Republican outlets, talk radio hosts were all saying how brilliant Ryan was and what a command of the budget details he had and how he would twist Obama in knots in a debate (much of that clatter was repeated last week.)

But my rule is : Watch what they do, not what they say, and not others opinions. He was hired to help Romney move to the center without backlash and to get bipartision bills passed in the House if Romney wins. I dont buy the spin.

The only thing that can help Republicans this election is enthusiasm gap and turnout. Both sides know this

You obviously disagree with the plank in the GOP platform on abortion. There is no exception for rape and incest.

Your logic is questionable. If abortion is indeed the murder of another human being, how can you rationalize killing some and not others? If the rape victim does not want the child, she can put the child up for adoption. Either life is sacrosanct or it is not.

I do not believe that a girl or woman should be expected to bear a child conceived as a result of a crime, and we’re going to have to trust the word of the girl or woman as whether it truly was rape or incest. When these crimes occur, the victim should be taken to a hospital, forensic evidence gathered, and pregnancy prevented (unless the woman objects), followed by the vigorous prosecution of the rapist.

” However, I don’t trust R to maintain his anti-amnesty stance from the primaries if he is POTUS and trying to be reelected in 2016.”

NONE of us trust R to do anything, especially this.

Good idea.

Correct. Nothing more to say.

” Why we’ll have balanced budgets in 12 to 16 years. Why we’ll start paying down the debt then. We? He’s going to be there 12 to 16 years. I seriously doubt it.

Between $30 and $40 trillion in debt, then they’ll start paying it down?”

LOL....yep pure crap!

Legal??? I don't think GWB worried about that either, he figured that was the SCOTUS job to sort that out. In this case is their a legal basis to sue? I don't see anyone trying.

There is a Political basis to do this. Even if there was a legal basis to sue and someone did it would be like the BC mandate on the Catholic Church, he only cares about the votes it brings him now vs the ones he thinks he will lose, which he has decided ‘not many’ He doesn't care if this stuff holds after the election.

SJB and DDD have not changed their votes over this is how I think he sees it, SOL has NO vote in Maryland so who cares what he thinks?? :)

Just remember where Reagan was in the polls against Carter at this same time in 1980...Obama has been campaigning over a year and still enjoys support from the MSM propagandists and still under 50% of the polling numbers.

What is Obama offering other than 4 more years of the same misery that he has provided us?

Since 2009 I been posting that the next R POTUS will go back into GWB 'spending and tax cut' deficits , aka voter Candy, mode. Ryan's job is to convince us that's it's OK if Romney is POTUS. After all Ryan is a ‘true, proven’ conservative, who can question his word? (SUCKERS)

My other EASY prediction (patting self on back...HA_HA) was that no POTUS, R or not, will try to sell that original Ryan plan. And presto, Ryan (Romney-Ryan) is indeed running away from it.

Yeah, that is one of the reasons I didn’t vote for GWB the second time. The chuckle-headed jackass really screwed us on many levels. Trying to ram amnesty down our throats was the worst.

First of all, what you describe is rare (hard cases make bad law). Second, as horrible as such a crime is, how do you think that girl may feel years later if she starts to understand that she killed a baby who was also hers?

What crime did the baby commit that he or she should get the death penalty?

Yes, what Akin said about rape and pregnancy was incredibly stupid, but his point about not killing the baby for the crime of the father is legitimate. There is only one reason to be pro-life, and that is if one believes the baby is a human being with the same right to life as any other.

I just figured out why they always ask for $3. That’s the denomination of the bill that has his picture on it.

You obviously don't understand the Obama plan. We are going to print money and write government checks until a candy bar will cost a kid a million bucks. Then paying back a mere $40 trillion or so will be easy. Of course all of your ill-gotten personal savings and investments will be worth nothing also. No one will be rich; we will all be equally poor... utopia yay!

Don't you know that the American dream is a scam? So it is only right that everything should be redistributed and we should all live in the same size energy efficient concrete sided high-rise apartment buildings... unless you are a politician or a member of a government workers union. Then you deserve to live in the houses formerly owned by rich thieves.

If you are a successful business owner you didn't build that business... you stole it from everyone else. If your family is wealthy it is because your relatives stole it from everyone else. The hard working and the successful don't deserve to be any better off than 3rd world peasants. In fact they should be punished for their audacity... for thinking they are better than those of us who prefer to sit around playing video games and smoking marijuana.

Don't you know that the USA is a wealthy country only because we stole everything from all the poor countries and people? It is time to give it all back. Don't you know we have only 2% of the worlds’ energy reserves but we are using 20% of the world's energy? Where have you been? Listen to the Obamessiah he will tell you... America not exceptional... America is bad.

But if it is your young daughter raped by some stranger, will you tell her to go through that and then raise that baby as your own?

You never heard of adoption?

Think of it in terms of the Constitution and our law.

Where does our Constitution grant the right to murder?

Lots of terrible things happen in this life which result in on-going physical and mental trauma. Rape falls into that category. The physical damage and pain and suffering of someone hit by a drunk driver, shot by a robber or falling off a ladder and breaking their back must be endured because there is no other option.

What is so different about pregnancy caused by rape that justifies the elimination of an innocent human life?

Well said. Abortion isn't going to erase the rape and yet that's what the abortion supporters make it sound like.
