CNN’s polls, like MSNBC and the other MSM polls allow foreigners outside the US to vote too.

Outside the US, Obama’s approval rating is still at around 90%

Remember, this is a CNN poll. CNN = Communist News Network

Remember when Ted Turner owned all of it? Ted Turner? Oh you know the one who slept with Jane Fonda.

You should post this again (sort of like how Obama did on Twitter) so there can be more exposure. So many commies outside the US like to tilt our polls.

Regardless-

The fact remains Obama/Pelosi can’t fix it.

Dems don’t pay taxes.
Republicans do.

14T/155 million that pay tax is 92,000 dollars owed by each of us. Nancy wants to add $9,000 dollars to this figure.

Our kids each owe $92,000. Nancy wants them to owe $101,000.00 , Even if they have yet to complete Kindergarten they owe this!

This debt does not take into account our annual tax obligations.
THERE IS NO MORE MONEY.

Life as Nancy knows and wants it - must end.

Balanced Budget- Flat Tax.

A poll like this is a symptom of, and a symbol of, what’s wrong with our politics and news reporting.

A question such as this is trying to assess blame for a problem. It does not allow for discussion of who is trying to solve the problem, or what the potential solutions to the problem are. It doesn’t even identify what the core issue is.

The Tea Party Republicans are trying to solve a much larger problem than just the problem of us hitting the debt ceiling. The MSM is blaming them for obstructionism. The MSM, in their tendency to over-simplify things and assess blame, is not reporting on the bigger picture. Just because we have routinely raised the debt ceiling in the past is being used as justification to do it now, and damn the consequences. And that’s not right, in my opinion.

A year from now Rush Limbaigh will probably be broadcasting from San Jose, Costa Rica. And with any luck I’ll be able to do odd jobs for him like mow his lawn, cut his toe nails... stuff like that. To survive.
