America after Obama

People if you think this "American Thinker" piece is bad, you ain't seen nothin' yet!

As it becomes clearer that Romney has no chance to beat Obama, the sreamming, hatred and lies will be taken to unimaginable levels.

The extreme right is just warming up.

The Dems will get the votes of the middle 10% because of this type of garbage.

As if on cue.

Economic Gains, Questions on Romney Boost Obama’s Prospects for November

Fifty percent of Americans in this new ABC News/Washington Post poll approve of Obama’s job performance, the most since spring. Fifty percent say he deserves re-election, better than Bill Clinton at the start of his re-election year and as good as George W. Bush a month before he won a second term. And Obama now leads Romney among registered voters by a slight 51-45 percent, the first time either has cracked 50 percent in a series of matchups since spring.

Two chief factors are at play. One is the economy’s gradual but unmistakable improvement, marked by the newly reported January unemployment rate of 8.3 percent, the lowest since a month after Obama took office. The president’s approval rating on handling the economy, while just 44 percent, is its best in 13 months.

Get some good ear plugs America, we're going to hear a LOT of conservative squealing and lying between now and November.

One last interesting point from the poll

Notably, 52 percent in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, say the more they hear about Romney the less they like him – double the number who like him more.

Let the crying, lying and squealing commence!

Long way til election there, tracy. But I have to agree with the article - Obama has been a disaster from day one with the executive orders he signed. And it has not gotten any better since. Just compare these two (and this is just foreign policy) during the Arab Spring that Obama thought was so great:

IRAN: He did not stand up for democracy in Iran when the people were being slaughtered in the streets by a ruthless dictator who we now have confirmed is months away from a nuke. They have threatened to close the strait of Hormuz and shut off oil supply, and indeed they have ships there, they have threatened Israel, and continue to blow off the the US and UN sanctions (FWIW).

EGYPT: We had a moderate, relatively stable relationship with the leader of that country (as did Israel), the Muslim Brotherhood (a radical muslim group) has been stirring up the people, and Obama interjects himself into their affairs saying Musharraf must go...the question is why??

The Muslim Brotherhood is a global organization and the leading force behind political totalitarian Islam. It is also the fountainhead of terrorist Islam, and in particular the Islamic terror groups al-Qaeda and Hamas.The Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928 by Hasan al-Banna. Al-Banna was an open admirer and supporter of Adolf Hitler, and had Mein Kampftranslated into Arabic in the 193o's..

Hamas identifies itself as a creature of the Brotherhood in its founding charter: “The Islamic Resistance Movement [Hamas] is one of the wings of the Muslim Brothers in Palestine. The Muslim Brotherhood Movement is a world organization, 12the largest Islamic Movement in the modern era.”9Al-Qaeda founders Abdullah Azzam and Osama bin Laden, and top leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, were all members of or trained by the Muslim Brotherhood...

Well, lo and behold....given the repeated pressure from the world and our the Obama ADM, Mubarrek steps down. What do we have since then? The MB "won" the election and since that time we have had more unrest, more murders (especially toward the Coptic Christians), and pure chaos...as bad as the economy was before, it is even worse now.

We knew this was exactly what would happen, so why did the Obama ADM encourage it? To make matter worse, we now have 43 of OUR citizens who are over there trying to help being refused permission to leave initially and now are up for trumped up charges and subject to a trial (one of these is Obama's own Transportation Secretary's son)under the new totalitarian regime...and we now have heard tonight that Egyptian generals who are in DC to meet with the Senators and also the Obama ADM have fled the country today. Looks like that plan has FAILED MISERABLY.

So there you have it... But my question has always been why did Obama give Amadidanutjob in Iran a pass, but cracks down on the Egpytian president? And thanks to the muffed policy, the whole entire ME is a much more dangerous powderkeg with Israel backed into a corner and faced with a tough decision which could be the match that ignites it all.

The MB moves in the absence of any regime that is taken over...He again made that mistake with Libya, he will with Syria, and all the others place he has chosen to interject himself. The world is a much more dangerous place now than it was 5 years ago, and I blame a lot of that on Obama fueling the flames (whether ignorantly or on purpose).

it is a long time till the election, and then again, was this poll taken before he decided to interfere in religious freedom of choice in this country and obama's morally superior attitude and all the bad backlash to it from all walks of life..congress will overturn it and many dem congress people are saying they are now sorry they voted for obamacare...he has lost it on this issue alone..

I think we all pretty much are realizing the why....he is siding with his muslim brothers..he has also been mum on the syrian issue.hhuuummm

Uh-huh. Sure. /s Keep telling yourself that. Let me know if you feel like actually justifying your statement, I'd love to hear your reasons.

Um...there are many reputable political historians who would disagreed with you C4P. Their vote is GW.

Oh, c'mon Corn. Watch the Clint Eastwood Super Bowl commercial. It might soften you up.

Obama is the worst President ever.

Too bad actual historians disagree with you, Cornhusker4Palin...

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0710/39283.html

do you have ANY statistics to back that up or is this your opinion?

it is personal opinions and personal beliefs that people will take with them into the voting booth, not a list of statistics that are probably skewed......take for instance obama’s latest war on catholics, do you not think they will take their beliefs and personal feelings about obama into the voting booth-you bet they will..

Oh, not so sure, katlin. When you figure 98% of Catholic women use some form of birth control....what they do in the voting booth stays in the voting booth!

do you have ANY statistics to back that up or is this your opinion?

Yes...read it and weep:

1. 1/6/2012 unemployment rate 8.3% - 10% the whole time he has been in office

2. Obamacare...we predicted this. Doctors would get out of business because they simple cannot make it (and Obamacare has not even been fully implemented)

http://money.cnn.com/2012/01/05/smallbusiness/doctors_broke/index.htm?hpt=hp_t3&hpt=hp_c1

And now we have the whole debacle with the Obama ADM trying to force religious charities to go against their teachings in an oder under Obamacare...and then he tries to cover it up by signing a bogus executive order that did nothing of the sort he said it did just to get the hold out Dems to sign it:

And to top that, we have the military chaplains told what they could and could not say in church from the higher ups in the military:

3. Obama on pace to spend 6.2 trillion dollars

but he called Bush's debt increase "unpatriotic"

4. Taxes up:

“ U.S. economy in taxes will increase by more than 30 percent between 2012 and 2014, according to the Budget and Economic Outlook published today by the CBO.

At the same time, according to CBO, the economy will remain sluggish, partly because of higher taxes.

“In particular, between 2012 and 2014, revenues in CBO’s baseline shoot up by more than 30 percent,” said CBO, “mostly because of the recent or scheduled expirations of tax provisions, such as those that lower income tax rates and limit the reach of the alternative minimum tax (AMT), and the imposition of new taxes, fees, and penalties that are scheduled to go into effect.”

The U.S. economy, CBO projects, will perform “below its potential” for another six years and unemployment will remain above 7 percent for another three.

“The pace of the economic recovery has been slow since the recession ended in June 2009, and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) expects that, under current laws governing taxes and spending, the economy will continue to grow at a sluggish pace over the next two years,” said CBO. “That pace of growth partly reflects the dampening effect on economic activity from the higher tax rates and curbs on spending scheduled to occur this year and especially next year.”

5. “For the fourth year in a row, Washington faces a $1 trillion-plus deficit and just servicing the nation’s debt will soon cost as much as paying for Medicaid, the federal-state health care program for the poor and disabled.

Those were two grim predictions in a 147-page report from the Congressional Budget Office, which Tuesday stepped into the 2012 campaign…”

6. While the Obama ADM touts 8.3 unemployment (as IF that is a good number to begin with and skewed), the CBO projects it is much closer to 10%

9. Middle East on the brink with a nuke Iran and a threatened Israel. Then you have all the others that have or are being taken over by the radical Islamists, the Muslim Brotherhood...

need any more?

When you figure 98% of Catholic women use some form of birth control..

it’s not about birth control and most don’t view it that way...you know that no one is forbidding them to use it, it costs them all of $20 a month to buy..it is about religious doctrine and the governments right to dictate what they have to support.....it is about the religious community {not just catholics} that do not support paying for abortions ...obama blew it on this one and the public won’t forgive it..

you are right vol- the list is growing and becoming more apparent to everyone that this president fancies himself a dictator who does not represent anyone but himself.

well said, katlin (my posts are too wordy...but I like to give people sources they can look at on their own.

Nice to see you, btw!

not so wordy vol, but you do back up what you say..good to see you here too..

The Sky is Falling, The Sky is Falling, THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Clinton left office, the federal budget was about $1.9 trillion with a surplus, not a deficit. Over the next 8 years Shrub proceeded to create the largest government ever, spending over $3 trillion on the federal budfet in his last year, all while giving tax breaks. So now we have this huge government spending $3 trillion a year with the largest deficits ever, being handed to Obama, and you want to blame him for how big the government is and how much we owe. Nice try…

Dont even get me started on you guys blaming the President for the current state the economy is in. Oh wait, thats getting better every month? Okay he can take some of the credit for fixing it :)

LOL. The American Stinker. The epitome of historical relevance.

yah we know liberals don’t like them-so they must be striking the cord of truth

.The masses may come to shun him, and rightly so. If there is poetic justice in this world, this will be his legacy.

he’ll have to push aside hitler, lenin, stalin and mao..

American Thinker is no worse than the Daily Kos, that unscrupulous garbage rag used by liberals more than any other to try and win arguments they have absolutely no chance of winning.

"yah we know liberals don’t like them-so they must be striking the cord of truth"

I don't like Hitler, Lenin, Stalin or Mao, so I guess they were all speaking the truth too?

"American Thinker is no worse than the Daily Kos, that unscrupulous garbage rag used by liberals more than any other to try and win arguments they have absolutely no chance of winning."

gotta bring up something irrelevant. Can't defend the article, gotta attack something else.

I don't like Hitler, Lenin, Stalin or Mao

history or the masses won’t like obama much either,

gotta bring up something irrelevant. Can't defend the article, gotta attack something else.

can’t refute the article, attack the source ..it is the liberal way, and we know how the game is played..

"history or the masses won’t like obama much either,"

you kinda missed my point.

"can’t refute the article, attack the source"

well, he didn't really, he just insulted it. He didn't provide any evidence.

"..it is the liberal way, and we know how the game is played.."

so...he's a liberal?
