Rasmussen published the monthly summary of the Presidential Approval Index ….
While his popularity / Support dives, he strongly believes that it is YOU, not him, that is the problem. You just don’t understand. He just needs to do some more talkin’ to the (gun huggin’) folks.
Obama refuses to believe that Americans are against his substance, not his talk. He wants all Democrats to sacrifice their careers to back his hated health care plan.
It’s quite possible they will … and if they do, they WILL lose their jobs.
The real risk is if they think they will lose their jobs no matter what. Will they take a scorched earth approach?

Every month, Rasmussen does a summary showing the Presidential Approval Index. Obama continues to slip. 
His approval is down a whopping 38 points from January last year!
He is down because of increasing evidence that his entire program is far left socialism AND IS NOT IN LINE WITH AMERICAN VALUES AND THE CONSTITUTION!
His “health care reform” doesn’t reform health care.
His willingness to offer UNLIMITED funds to government induced failures, Freddie and Fannie, run up big deficits and ignore any sense of fiscal responsibility will ruin the nation.
Graft and corruption, payoffs to unions, avowed communists in the White House, and the reality of Obama’s promise to “fundamentally change“ the United States — All are being rejected by the people.
He and the other Dems know they have until the mid-term elections to ram through their “agenda” and the losers are viewed as “lost souls in the cause to drive America into a Socialist state”.
Good News
It looks like people are waking up all over the country and realizing this.
- Christopher Dodd will not stand for re-election to his seat in CT.
- Republicans hold a 9% advantage in the generic poll, from a 8% deficit last year.
- Ben Nelson, the last Senator bribed to vote for the health care bill, is down 30% and is likely not to re-run.
The only way to get change folks, is to vote the bums out!

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?
- Fewer choices can be made by you: What doctor you see, what medicines you take, what football championship you watch. See House Bill Aims To Sack College Football BCS System. Government is operating as if they are kings, with no limit on their power, no constitution.
- Government will be a higher social class: Instead of government service being something where you trade security and protection from competition for lower wages, government now pays more! See Six-Figure Federal Salary Gravy Train. “The growth in six-figure salaries has pushed the average federal worker’s pay to $71,206, compared with $40,331 in the private sector.”
- You will have less money to do what you and your family want: As incomes drop, all prices associated with and affected by government go up. And taxes will and must go up to pay for reckless spending in Washington.
- Government will spend like drunks: See Business as Usual in Washington: Another Bloated, Pork-Filled Omnibus Spending Bill. Spending is up 8% (3rd year in a row), $561 billion more than baseline. The spending, according the The Heritage Foundation, is runaway. 2009 Earmarks now total 8,939, and will exceed 10,000 by the end of the year.
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!!

The Pelosi power-grab … I can’t reasonably call it health care reform .. is being pushed by the Democratic house leaders and the White House today. They hope to get a bill, any bill, as along as it takes over the economy, through the House this weekend.
For those in the United States, you MUST call your Congress member today and tell them this is not reform; it is a blatant power grab by Washington; tell them to vote NO.
Do you want some reasons why? How about over 1900 pages of them? Fortunately, Open Congress has summarized the bill in digestible form.
A few of the highlights:
- It requires all Americans to purchase comprehensive health insurance plans that provide more health benefits than most current health care plans.
- It requires the federal government to provide health insurance (public option) and long-term care insurance (CLASS program).
- It mandates price controls for health insurance, medical services, medical equipment, and prescription drugs.
- It provides unlimited funds to 30 grants and programs.
- It creates 74 new types grants. Each type may be granted multiple times by the Secretary of Health and Human Services at her discretion.
- It prevents states from receiving grant money if they enact tort reform.
- It creates federal insurance exchanges that are supported by national call centers to guide consumer choice, handle enrollment, process claims, and handle complaints. All communications must be supported in every language and culture in each state.
- It limits FSAs, MSAs, and HSAs only to prescription drugs and insulin. It eliminates the option to make pre-tax purchases of non-prescription drugs, eyeglasses, dental care, etc.
- It creates several new federal agencies. One is the “Health Choices Administration” (see p. 131), which oversees Health Insurance Exchanges. Another is the “Indian Health Services”, which oversees healthcare services to American Indians.
- It creates several new offices, such as the “Office of the ombudsman”, “Office on Women’s Health”, and “Office of Indian Men’s Health”.
- It creates a massive expansion of the Department of Heath and Human Services, which already runs Medicaid and Medicare. It assigns more than 1000 new responsibilities to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. This includes giving away hundreds of grants worth billions of dollars, and overseeing a budget increased by hundreds of billions of dollars to support literally thousands of new regulations, penalties, sanctions, moratoriums, audits, investigations, oversights, surveillance, approvals, lawsuits, negotiations, services, awards, scholarships, loans, contracts, rebates, reimbursements, compensations, exemptions, waivers, reforms, offices, committees, task forces, centers, programs, standards, requirements, measures, methods, priorities, goals, rules, policies, processes, protocols, guidelines, plans, studies, surveys, reports, publications, web sites, call centers, data centers, facilities, training, and jobs. Almost every page in the bill gives new powers to the secretary.
- It gives the Secretary of HHS discretionary power to set prices, deny coverage, and ration health care.
- It requires the government to track personal information such as the hiring of nurses and doctors along with their wages, benefits, turnover, and tenure; the tracking of drugs prescribed by doctors, the personal financial transactions of doctors, and the personal investments made by doctors.
- It creates a new “Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research”, which is given unlimited access to all information from all federal departments and agencies.

A couple of items cross my desk that gave me pause.
The first was an excellent IBD editorial yesterday.
There is no free lunch, as the article insists, contrary to the “its free!” cry from some of my Canadian relatives. In France
a Frenchman making a monthly salary of 3,000 euros has 350 of them deducted for health insurance. Then the employer throws in an additional 1,200 euros.
That is a whopping 36% of his total compensation cost going to health care. Thank God it is free, otherwise, no-one could afford it.
Is the care better?
during an August 2003 heat wave — when many doctors were on vacation and hospitals were stretched beyond capacity — 15,000 elderly citizens died.
Second item is this chilling email from my sister-in-law, from Canada.
I know you have been spending a lot time reading and writing about the Canadian health care system and I thought I’d give you an example of a problem we have.
About two weeks ago, my dad accidentally cut off his finger cutting wood. Anyway, he went to the emergency room (he had the finger) and they couldn’t sew it back on because they couldn’t get surgeon to the hospital for 5 hours and the tissue died. Frankly, I don’t think they had the skills or technology anyway, but he did sit there for 5 hours waiting for a surgeon. I don’t know if you find that interesting but I did.
Are you as chilled as I am? Government run health care is not the answer. IT will be MORE expensive (sorry Mr. Obama) and produce poorer results.
