Bruised if unbroken, President Barack Obama faces shrinking public
confidence, increasingly negative
views of the country's direction and far lower ratings than those he
carried triumphantly into the White House a year ago this week.

You know if you're going to copy and paste all this (copyrighted,
BTW) stuff, you should include the next bit of the article too:

"Despite their disappointments, 53 percent of Americans in this ABC
News/Washington Post poll approve of Obama's job performance overall
-- 15 points lower than his opening grade, but still just over half at
the one-year mark." (source ABC News/Washington Post poll)

Idiot. Plagiarist.

Obama ought to focus on getting his head out of his butt...
 

He is holding on to our stimulus money until it is prudent to
disperse. I would say 18 months prior to the general election you will
see Obama spending that cash like Michael Jackson after a slumber
party.

Obama ought to focus on getting his head out of his butt...
 

Dr. Krauthammer is on Fox News. He is an M.D. And a lawyer and is
paralyzed from the neck down. A friend went to hear Charles
Krauthammer. He listened with 25 others in a closed room. What he
says here, is NOT 2nd-hand but 1st. The ramifications are staggering
for us, our children and their children.

Last Monday was a profound evening, Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to
the Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant
intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in
his analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He
is NOT a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views. He
is a fiscal conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for
writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly
for the Washington Post.
The entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have
summarized his comments, as we are living in uncharted waters
economically and internationally.
Even 2 Dems at my table agreed with everything he said! If you feel
like forwarding this to those who are open minded and have not drunk
the Kool-Aid, feel free.

Summary of his comments:

1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not
to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn't show his
emotions. It's very hard to know what's behind the mask. The taking
down of the Clinton dynasty was an amazing accomplishment. The
Clintons still do not understand what hit them. Obama was in the
perfect place at the perfect time..

2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He
has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing with your
position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS;
rather, watch what he DOES!

3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to
Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change
everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can't be
straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along..
He has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with income
redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society. He would
like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada.

4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, and
NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn't care about
the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early
bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle
growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal. Most scary is
his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000
people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go
through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive
RATIONING of services, like in Canada. God forbid!

5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No
one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they are going to
try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This
obviously can't work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist;
rather he's a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of
revolution. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard
left... Again, watch what he does, not what he says.

6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the United States,
but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all,
trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and
theirAgendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology
tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees
America, as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than
a great noble nation that has at times made errors. This is the first
President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!

7. He is now handing out goodies... He hopes that the bill (and pain)
will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He would like
to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his
successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Dr. Krauthammer
believes he is a narcissist.

8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge
strong. Republicans are pining for another Reagan, but there will
never be another like him.. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim
Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February)
are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has
baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but needs to really
be seriously boning up on facts and info if she is to be a serious
candidate in the future. We need to return to the party of lower
taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national
defense, and state's rights.

9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We
are spending trillions that we don't have. This could lead to
hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent
themselves into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and
Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill
will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn't work,
nor will the stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to
Obama's allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can
get support for #4 above.

10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers
failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and
the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The
people are in pain, and the mantra of change caused people to act
emotionally. Any Dem would have won this election; it was surprising
it was as close as it was.

11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be
swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems continue to roll.
If it's between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight. It will all be about
the economy. I hope this gets you really thinking about what's
happening in Washington and Congress. There is a left-wing revolution
going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the
faith and join the loyal resistance. The work will be hard, but we're
right on most issues and can reclaim our country, before it's far too
late. ................

Obama ought to focus on getting his head out of his butt...
 

Jan. 22 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. investors overwhelmingly see President
Barack Obama as anti-business and question his ability to manage a
financial crisis, according to a Bloomberg survey.

The global quarterly poll of investors and analysts who are Bloomberg
subscribers finds that 77 percent of U.S. respondents believe Obama is
too anti-business and four-out-of-five are only somewhat confident or
not confident of his ability to handle a financial emergency.

The poll also finds a decline in Obama’s overall favorability rating
one year after taking office. He is viewed favorably by 27 percent of
U.S. investors. In an October poll, 32 percent in the U.S. held a
positive impression.

“Investors no longer feel they can trust their instincts to take
risks,” said poll respondent David Young, a managing director for a
broker dealer in New York. Young cited Obama’s efforts to trim bonuses
and earnings, make health care his top priority over jobs and plans to
tax “the rich or advantaged.”

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate
----------

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take
over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped
out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club
allegations.

The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-
promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a
clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.

Ryan’s campaign began to crumble on Monday following the release of
embarrassing records from his divorce. In the records, his ex-wife,
Boston Public actress Jeri Ryan, said her former husband took her to
kinky sex clubs in Paris, New York and New Orleans.

Barrack Obama


"It’s clear to me that a vigorous debate on the issues most likely
could not take place if I remain in the race," Ryan, 44, said in a
statement. "What would take place, rather, is a brutal, scorched-earth
campaign – the kind of campaign that has turned off so many voters,
the kind of politics I refuse to play."

Although Ryan disputed the allegations, saying he and his wife went to
one ‘avant-garde’ club in Paris and left because they felt
uncomfortable, lashed out at the media and said it was "truly
outrageous" that the Chicago Tribune got a judge to unseal the
records.

The Republican choice will become an instant underdog in the campaign
for the seat of retiring Republican Senator Peter Fitzgerald, since
Obama held a wide lead even before the scandal broke.

"I feel for him actually," Obama told a Chicago TV station. "What he’s
gone through over the last three days I think is something you
wouldn’t wish on anybody."

The Republican state committee must now choose a replacement for Ryan,
who had won in the primaries against seven contenders. Its task is
complicated by the fact that Obama holds a comfortable lead in the
polls and is widely regarded as a rising Democratic star.

The chairwoman of the Illinois Republican Party, Judy Topinka, said at
a news conference, after Ryan withdrew, that Republicans would
probably take several weeks to settle on a new candidate.

"Obviously, this is a bad week for our party and our state," she
said.

As recently as Thursday, spokesmen for the Ryan campaign still
insisted that Ryan would remain in the race. Ryan had defended himself
saying, "There’s no breaking of any laws. There’s no breaking of any
marriage laws. There’s no breaking of the Ten Commandments anywhere."

Climate Conference Costs

Sharyl Attkisson has more on her report of how more than 100 members
of Congress and their spouses went to the Copenhagen climate
conference -- on the U.S. taxpayers tab. How much did it all cost?

Climate Summit Junket?

U.S. Congress members wracked up a sizeable bill at the Copenhagen
Climate Summit. Sharyl Attkisson reports that U.S. tax dollars may
have been put to better use.

Copenhagen Summit Turned Junket?

(CBS) Thanks to a recently filed Congressional expense reports
there's new light shed on the Copenhagen Climate Summit in Denmark and

On Thursday evening, The Plain Dealer's Sabrina Eaton reported on
"Ellie Light," who'd had virtually identical letters to the editor
published in newspapers around the country, with most of them claiming
a different hometown in each paper's circulation area.

Ellie Light responded to the report in a comment, saying "There was
lots to write about this week, for example Teddy Kennedy' seat falling
to a Republican, or the Supreme Court's ruling allowing corporations
to donate unlimited funds to causes they support. Both those events
portend unimaginable consequences for democracy in this country. And
Ms. Eaton, a "Washington" journalist, decides to spend a few minutes
pasting snippets of letters into Google and come up with a story about
a letter writer."

Since then, others have followed the trail of the Ellie Light letter.
The blog Patterico's Pontifications seems to have the most
comprehensive list so far. To the dozen or so originall listed, the
blog adds several dozen more, including the Stamford (Conn.) Advocate
and the Gainesville (Ga.) Times. The letter has even appeared
overseas, including in the Bangkok Post. And now there's a Facebook
fan page for her.

In most letters, Light claims a nearby hometown. But in letters
published in two papers that have a broader audience -- the Washington
Times and USA Today -- her address is listed as Long Beach, Calif.
That's the same city used in a letter to the Daily Breeze in
California.

Commenters have questioned the coincidence of so many papers deciding
to publish this one letter out of all those they've received. However,
most of the letters have appeared in smaller papers, where competition
for published letters is not as high. And Politico.com's Ben Smith,
who in an unusual decision had published the Ellie Light letter in ful
himself, wrote at the time that her words " seemed to crystallize a
point his supporters have been trying to make for a while."
