56% disapprove of Obama. Today’s Rasmussen poll shows Obama has hit another low in voter support.

Forty-six percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President.

Fifty-three percent (53%) of men Strongly Disapprove along with 39% of women. Most African-American voters (58%) Strongly Approve while most white voters (53%) Strongly Disapprove.

Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republicans Strongly Disapprove as do 52% of unaffiliated voters. Forty-seven percent (47%) of Democrats Strongly Approve.

For the second straight day, the update shows the highest level of Strong Disapproval yet recorded for this President. That negative rating had never topped 42% before yesterday. However, it has risen dramatically since the Senate found 60 votes to move forward with the proposed health care reform legislation. Most voters (55%) oppose the health care legislation and senior citizens are even more likely than younger voters to dislike the plan.

Rasmussen goes on to note that 51% still blame Bush … so this cartoon is apt:
Obama blames Bush

The rhetoric has been turned up to boiling, with Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse calling Republicans who oppose health care Nazi’s. On the Senate floor, he describes those who oppose him and Obama as Nazi’s.

They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The ‘birthers,’ the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militias and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Obama should exist.

Investors Business Daily describes what just happened this week.

• This was a vote on a Democrat-concocted scheme that Americans have rejected every time it’s been proposed for 100 years and that is opposed again, by 54% to 41% by the public at large, by 2-to-1 by practicing physicians and by every last member on the Republican side of the aisle.

• The vote was taken without any members having read the main 2,074-page bill, let alone the 383 pages of amendments that were tacked on at the last minute to buy off senators, including Nebraska’s Ben Nelson, Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu and Vermont socialist Bernie Sanders.

• Despite growing public opposition, Democratic members had the nerve to call those who questioned their monstrosity “obstructionists” and worse. Rhode Island’s Sheldon Whitehouse called health care bill foes “birthers,” “fanatics” and “people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups.” Is this what Democrats meant when they said they seek bipartisan solutions to the nation’s problems?

• The bill contains at last count 18 new taxes totaling an estimated $406 billion — including significant new levies on those earning less than $250,000, a major breach of Obama’s pledge not to raise taxes by “one penny” on those in that income group.

Is it a crime to oppose this? As far as I remember, we still have freedom of speech. For how much longer, I wonder. Unless we act, free speech will be curtailed, as Obama and his socialists do not relish being “unloved”.

The world, and especially the USA, is lurching, sliding and falling into the social morass called socialism. This slide is pushed and lauded by The Left.

I immigrated to the USA over 20 years ago, with Ronald Reagan’s ideals drawing me here.  This is not what I expected would happen, that our freedoms, as promised in the Constitution, would be so rapidly chipped away by creeping and now leaping socialism — the tyranny this time, not of a British King, but of government itself!

For you and other freedom loving people, what does it mean?

What did President Obama say about fiscal responsibility in his inauguration speech?

“And those of us who manage the public’s dollars will be held to account – to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day – because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.”

If he believed that, he would veto the Omnibus bill.

What did he say about earmarks?  During his transition into office in January 2009, he promised a

“new higher standard of accountability, transparency and oversight. We are going to ban all earmarks, the process by which individual members insert projects without review.”

But in March 2009, he signed a bill with 8,500 earmarks.   He said:

“this piece of legislation must mark an end to the old way of doing business and the beginning of a new era of responsibility and accountability that the American people have every right to expect and demand.”

And just days ago in December 2009, Obama himself put in a $700 mln earmark.

No, Obama is leader of the socialist revolution now going on in America.  He is following Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, Rule 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive”.  Say that reckless spending is Good, and it is true.  Say that the private sector is the problem, that government is the solution, and it is true.

This is just one year of the socialist revolution.  Fight it, as there is more to come unless people tell their elected officials: ENOUGH!

We need another Reagan!!

Mike “Mish” Shedlock does a daily blog commentary on the global economic situation, which is quite balanced and strongly recommended.  He is a skeptic and digs for motivations and the truth.

Today’s post has an excellent analysis on how, with the loss of 11,000 jobs in November, total unemployment actually went (???$!#$!@) down?  How is that possible?

In regards to the economy, the jobs picture presented on Friday was a mirage. One even has to wonder if the BLS is purposely playing games knowing full well a massive revision in the January numbers (coming out in February), will subtract 80,000 jobs a month for a full year.

I doubt the unemployment rate is under 10% a year from now, or even two years from now, unless the BLS numbers show large declines in the labor force (as they did in the November Employment Report on Friday).

The actual figures …

Here is his analysis:

Unemployment dropped by .2% even though 11,000 jobs were lost and it should take at least 100,000 jobs just to keep up with demographics. Instead note the drop in the civilian labor force by 98,000.

Moreover, those “not in the labor force” rose by 291,000 constituting nearly all of the decline in unemployment.

That drop in the labor force is not normal to say the least. It should have risen by 100,000 minimum.

Naturally, our hot-air president used this numerical manipulation as a talking point for the success of his stimulus program.

More bloggers are beginning to question the accuracy and transparency of this manipulation.  TPM headlines their post: “We Just Counted Less Unemployed People“, and offers an untampered statistic putting unemployment at 12%!!

Why should we trust the government figures when all aspects of data and communications are politicized? We shouldn’t. Dig deep and believe your gut. This is rot of the core!

In any case, the number of people out of work is so high that it will be impossible to stem foreclosures and have a strong recovery, if any recovery at all.  Of course, will Obama and the Democratic congress get out of the way, lower taxes and regulations, and let the economy recover … or will they …

Dig us deeper into debt with Government job creation efforts?  As I mention before, the eggheads in this administration think they alone can solve all the nation’s problems.  So the Washington Post reported yesterday.

“The president thinks we should and must do everything in our power to create an environment for job growth and job creation,” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters Friday morning. When asked whether Obama will back the use of bailout funds during a speech about the economy next Tuesday, Gibbs said, “It’s certainly being looked at. Yes.”

Plato said:

The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
