I guess since he was not there he is not to blame?
Fortunately the Establishmedia is staying firm at 95% Worship.

Yup, a real dead-ripe certainty.
The damn title says more than the damn excerpt. Sheesh.
That is happening right now. You don't actually think this Dow 9000 is real or sustainable, do you?
They (the Fed and -7bama's bankster cronies) are pumping the hell out of it for an upcoming massive dump.
When this happens, it will accomplish two goals: a massive wealth transfer from us shmucks who are stupid enough to still be dumping money into our 401(k)s (I shut off mine months ago) to the inside pump&dumpers, and a new "crisis" they can leverage for political goals.
Mark my words.
Let them worship. If The First Thug's numbers are dropping despite their best-efforts to spray perfume on a rat-dropping known as Obama, then let him drag them all down with him.
Methinks it’s very telling that Rasmussen uses “likely voters” and shows a net +3 for Øbumbler — whereas the other surveys use “adults” or “registered voters” to produce a net average value of +16.

I suppose if he hadn't been so gosh danged sure that if we didn't pass the porkulus Recovery Plan by Friday, he may have an out. Roll tape, end argument. State run media has the video.
But like a rat caught in a trap, the more he squirms the more it hurts. After a will you look whiny and no one thinks the pres ought to be a whiny one.
Don't you love his charts with the decorations on it called actual? One of the big pitfalls of being so sure of yourself that you close off all escape routes. Once your credibility is burnt, you are toast.
Yes...I know....and here’s a quote I just found in my files....
Lenin said, “The way to crush the bourgeoisie [the middle class] is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.”

Obama’s White House is Falling Down
By Daniel Greenfield Thursday, June 11, 2009
In the sixth month of his presidency, Obama has turned an economic downturn into an economic disaster, taking over and trashing entire companies, and driving the nation deep into deficit spending expected to pass 10 trillion dollars.
Abroad, Obama seems to have no other mode except to continue on with his endless campaign, confusing speechmaking with diplomacy. It is natural enough that Obama, who built his entire campaign on high profile public speeches reported on by an adoring press, understands how to do nothing else but that.
Ego driven photo-op appearances and clueless treatment of foreign dignitaries
While the press is still chewing over Obama’s Cairo speech, this celebrity style coverage ignores the fact that Obama’s endless world tour is not actually accomplishing anything. Instead his combination of ego driven photo-op appearances and clueless treatment of foreign dignitaries have alienated many of America ‘s traditional allies. Those who aren’t being quietly angry at Obama, like Brown, Merkel or Netanyahu, instead think of him as an absurdly lightweight, as Sarkozy, King Abdullah or Putin do.
While his officials carry out their dirty economic deeds, Obama responds to any and every crisis as if it were a Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland musical, with a cry of, “Let’s put on a show.” Thus far Obama has put on “shows” across America , Europe and the Middle East . And what the adoring media coverage neglects to cover, is that Obama’s shows have solved absolutely nothing. They
have served only as high profile entertainment.
Neither alienating America ‘s traditional allies, through a combination of arrogant bullying and ignorance, nor appeasing America ‘s enemies, has yielded any actual results. Nor does it seem likely to. Islamic terrorism is not going anywhere, neither are the nuclear threats from North Korea and Iran . While Obama keeps smiling, the global situation keeps growing more grim.
At home, if Obama was elected as depression era entertainment, the charm of his smiles and his constant appearances on magazine covers appear to be wearing thin on the American public. Despite the shrill attacks on Rush Limbaugh or the Republican Enemy of the Weak— the Democratic party of 2009, is polling a lot like the Republican party of 2008. The Democrats have suddenly become the incumbents, and the only accomplishment they can point to is lavish deficit spending, often on behalf of the very same corporations and causes they once postured against.
The European Union Parliament’s swing to the right cannot be credited to Obama, though doubtlessly some European voters seeing socialist economic crisis management on display in the world’s richest country decided they wanted none of it, but it is part of a general turning against federalism. And Obama’s entire program is dependent on heavily entrenching federalism at the expense of individual and state’s rights. Yet that is precisely his Achilles heel with independent voters who are polling against more taxes and expanded government. And no amount of speeches by Obama can wish away his 18 czars or the national debt he has foisted on generation after generation of the American people.
That leaves Obama with a choice between socialism and the independent voter. And thus far he has chosen socialism.
Obama’s tactic of hijacking Bush Administration era policies on the economy and the War on Terror, and exploiting them as Trojan horses to promote his own agenda, have left him coping with a backlash from his own party, as well as general Republican opposition.
His Czars are meant to function as the bones in an executive infrastructure accountable to no one, but a lack of accountability isn’t just another word for tyranny, but for incompetence. A functional chain of command is accountable at multiple levels if it is to function effectively. Obama’s White House by contrast is in a state of over-organized chaos, the sort of organized disorganization that undisciplined egotistical leftists naturally create for themselves, complete with multiple overlapping levels of authority and no one in charge but the man at the top, who’s too busy doing other things to actually be in charge.
Dennis Blair as National Intelligence, who collaborated with the Muslim genocide of Christians in East Timor , trying to muscle out the CIA to create his own intelligence network, is typical of the kind of chaos being spawned by every chief in an expanding government bureaucracy working to make sure that all the Indians answer to him. Similarly the National Security Council wrestling with the State Department, highlighted by Samantha Power getting her own specially created NSC position to butt heads with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, illustrates the state of conflict and chaos in American foreign affairs. A state of chaos so pervasive that incompetence has now become commonplace, and no one can even be found to double check the spelling of a Russian word that is meant to be the theme of American’s diplomatic reconstruction with Russia , or to pick out a gift for the visiting British Prime Minister.
The death of Chrysler at the hands of Fiat and the UAW
Meanwhile on the economy, Obama exploited the ongoing bailouts, transforming them from bailouts into takeovers meant to shift the balance of power in what had been a democracy and socially
engineer not only corporations, but the lives of ordinary Americans. But the public’s patience with corporate bailouts is at an end, most Americans were never happy with them to begin with, and want them to end. The death of Chrysler at the hands of Fiat and the UAW might look like a victory in the union ranks, but it doesn’t play too well outside Detroit . And tacking on CAFE standards that will kill the pickup truck and the SUV will badly erode Obama in the swing states, if exploited properly in 2010 and 2012. Despite the constant media barrage, orchestrated out of the White House, the public is growing disenchanted with the performance of Obama and the Democrats.
With unemployment booming and the economy dropping, the jobs aren’t there and the spending is out of control. Republicans today are polling better on ethics and the economy, than the Democrats are. That shows a trend which is likely to register in the mid-term elections in 2010, in the same way that the EU parliamentary elections served as a shock to the system.
In the opposition, Republicans are free to embrace the rhetoric of change, to champion reform and push libertarian ideas about the size and scope of government. In turn all Obama has is his celebrity fueled media spectacle world tour. A charade now serving as a parallel to the depression era entertainment that functioned as escapism in a dour time. But before long, it may be Obama that the American public will want to escape from.
A shallow, manipulative and egotistical amateur who is in over his head
Obama has tried to play Lincoln, Reagan, JFK and FDR— but in the end he can only play himself, a shallow, manipulative and egotistical amateur who is in over his head, and trying to drag the country down with him. Obama’s White House is falling down and while the flashbulbs are still glittering and the parties are going on in D.C. and around the world, Obama and the Democratic Congress may be headed for a recession of their own.
Why are they still so high? Don’t know, perhaps the same reason Clinton’s were at 70% when he was being impeached and in the mid 60’s otherwise even though he was outed as a sex fiend who played house with a kid barely older then his daughter.
They are rigged, pure and simple.
I don’t know about you, but I am so tired of hearing this “but I inherited this” If I do recall, he was a Senator back in 2006 when all the crap hit the fan. Real leaders don’t make excuses, they get the JOB done. Little people know this, but we were in a recession back when Bush took office. Did he whine about it? No, he went to work and got us out of it. What if we had General Patton going around saying “I inherited this war, it was the Japanese that attacked Pearl Harbor”. I am so sick of this “Whiner-in-Chief” Grow up Obama, or step aside, let real men run the Country.
Nah, if the DOW really tanks again it won’t help Onothing a bit. It will merely bring into sharper focus his failure in turning the economy, even though the economy and the DOW are only linked in long term and illusory way.
One reason the numbers are so high is that all polls except Fox News (registered voters) and Rasmussen (likely voters) use a sample of “adults.” The polls using “adults” include people not engaged enough to care to vote. Rasmussen’s poll included in the average is of 1500 likely voters, yielding a much smaller margin of error. Fox and Rasmussen narrow the field to those who are a little more engaged in the process...

I believe that so many are now and will become disillusioned with this empty suit that come the next election for president (and the midterms) we will see a marked drop off of Democrat supporters and a corresponding increase in fired up Rep voters.
