Never mind his complete incompetence when it comes to our economy, here’s a prime example of how divorced from reality Barack Obama has truly become … he believes his chances of being reelected in 2012 are “much higher” than they were in 2008.
His dogwashers seem to be equally clueless. Over the weekend, David Axelrod, Obama’s top political adviser, “issued a memo to the Sunday news show producers and other reporters that concludes Obama is in strong shape for another four years in the Oval Office,” according to The Hill. The memo pointed out that Obama has strong support from Hispanics, noting them to be the fastest-growing segment of the population. These are the same Hispanics who Obama has been Hispandering to in recent weeks by changing the deportation laws in this country. While I don’t have the figures since Obama essentially granted amnesty to a whole swath of illegals currently in the United States, but last month, Obama’s poll numbers among Hispanics were dropping big time. Gallup polling showed that Obama’s approval among Hispanics hit an all-time of 47%. This a drop of 38 percentage points from his all-time high of 85%, which he saw in the spring of 2009 among Hispanics. So I am a little perplexed as to how the Obama administration can hang its hat on the approval rating of Hispanics, unless we are to assume that those number will climb big-time in the weeks following Obama’s amnesty ploy. But if your biggest talking point is the fact that less than half of Hispanics approve of the job you are doing in office, then we have some real issues to deal with.
As for the rest of the country, Hispanic or not, things are not looking good for Dear Ruler. For the first time during his reign, more Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Obama than have a favorable opinion of him. In key swing states – particularly traditional red states that Obama flipped blue in 2008 – Obama’s favorability ratings have fallen below 50%. Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana, Colorado, Iowa, New Mexico and Nevada were once red states that flipped blue, with a combined total of 112 electoral votes. Now in every single one of these states, less than half the people approve of the way Obama is handling things.
And then we have the latest figures from the U.S. misery index. For August 2011, the same month when there were zero jobs created in this country, the misery index rose to its highest level, matching 1984’s index rating of 12.7. The reasons for this are pretty durn obvious. And what does Dear Ruler want to do to make things better? Tax the achievers and the job creators, of course!
Did President Downgrade’s competitors pump millions of dollars to green energy projects that went bankrupt?
Did President Downgrade’s competitors try to have the testimony by a four star general changed In order to help a campaign contributor?
Did President Downgrade’s competitors flush trillions of dollars down the stimulus toilet?
Did President Downgrade’s competitors push through an unwanted takeover of the healthcare system that also put a damper on employment?
Did President Downgrade’s competitors incessantly call for more and more wealth redistribution (Raising taxes) when the economy is entering a recession they caused?
Obozo isn't clueless at all. He knows exactly what he is doing. He is acting on orders. The agenda is a howling success.
Not “unexpectedly”.
Is Obama street rat crazy or a brilliant Marxist. Either way we are screwed. We might as well just go fishing for skanks down on whore bayou.......
Sorry, this would count for something except Bortz is one of the idiots that didn’t recognize 0bama for what he was 4 years ago and when people tried to tell him, he cut them off.
Thanks Neal. Any idiot can see the damage now.
Change ‘competitors’ to ‘champions’...
Change ‘competitors’ to ‘champions’...
No offense here Neal, but what do you expect the hack Rats to say? That he is damaged and going to be blown out in the election? Come on now. If these dopes cared about the country, they would have him resign.
His chances are pretty bad if the voters have anything to say about it.
Do we?
I guess Boortz was peeing in his pants skeeered of being called a “raaayyy sisss!”
Even Walter Mondale was saying his chances were good before the 49-state blowout. Nobody else would be different.
>>> Never mind his complete incompetence when it comes to our economy …..
Neal Bortz and every one have the wrong assumption. We all assume(d) this WH is interested in solving any kind of problems.
Once you realize all Obama’s people are interested in doing is to have complete control and to retain all their power, their actions should be absolutely clear to every one.
But one of his main voting blocks - the dead voters - can't speak. Their vote is what the RAT precinct bosses say it is ( they will find as many of those as they need in the precincts ). And of course they will do their best to suppress the overseas military votes.
Either somebody new is writing Neal's notes for him or Neal is going senile. He has been beating the drum for months that Obama is deliberately trying to ruin the economy as per his Marxist beliefs. It's all part of a plan. Now it's incompetence?

I played CLUE with him when he was little. He’d grab the COL MUSTARD marker and put it in the library and say, “Now, you have to king me!” Clueless, but prescient.
