“Why do I have the feeling there's some guy at Fox updating his CV right now....”

“Haley Barbour voted for Obama( after he didn't).hehe”

“Obama to Drop Shield if Russia Helps with Limbaugh

Barack Obama has reportedly written another private note to his Russian counterpart offering to halt deployment of a defensive nuclear missile shield in Europe, this time in exchange for Russia’s help in dealing with U.S. talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh.

The White House immediately denied the existence of the letter to President Dmitry Medvedev, but acknowledged “ongoing internal deliberations over a measured response using all the tools of U.S. power, including diplomacy.”

Dealing with Mr. Limbaugh has taken the Obama administration’s focus off of other global trouble spots like North Korea, Iran and Chicago.

The rift between President Obama and Mr. Limbaugh started in October when the radio kingpin said of Mr. Obama “I hope he fails.” Tension escalated when Democrat pollsters discovered that Rush Limbaugh is the only remaining divisive Republican with name recognition higher than 10 percent.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, during his daily review of cable TV and radio personalities, said that President Obama won election, in part, “on a promise to be more inclusive, to talk with enemies, and to present an American face to the world that is more about dialogue and multilateral solutions than confrontation.”

“If President Obama intends to find common ground with the Mullahs in Iran,” said Mr. Gibbs, “He can certainly find a way to appease Rush Limbaugh.”

An unnamed State Department source said that when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton returns from the Middle East, the president will “dispatch her to Florida to engage Limbaugh in high-level talks to keep this situation from mushrooming.””

“Oddly the economy went up with Reagan's policies. Since Obama was elected the Dow Jones has dropped over 25%.”

“But Barry is a rawk star man! Taylor Swift would have higher numbers than Reagan.”

“Funny... I kinda remember the economy tanking pretty hard during Ronnie's first couple of years.”

“Yeah but he had great hair.”

“LOL....the good thing is that when they start siezing our 401s and Retirement accounts at least there won't be a whole lot to lose.”

“A good question would be whether the respondents could articulate the difference between the two economic policies. I'm pretty sure only a small minority of Americans likely to be selected in such a survey would be able to.”

“Mutt, I am increasingly doubtful of the American Voter....I am betting more people can name the three judges in American Idol than all their elected representatives.”

“Remember the Reagan 30 year bond with a 22%yield?”

“Right I remember everyone receiving a new house, car and 50K the first week of Regan's tenure.”

“Yes, americans were brilliant to invest all of that 'silly money' into millions of hours of illigrant labor building mini-castles, while the race to build the longest SUV for the school loading zone parade marched on.”

“Ronnie is the rawk star of the right. But don't let the facts get in the way. People forget Reagan never came close to balancing a budget. For all of his talk about hating big government, Reagan did solid work in creating a much larger federal government. In fact, Federal expenditures almost doubled under his unique brand of fiscal conservatism.”

“Oh, and don't forget: A Faux News poll recently said Obama is also more popular than Jesus.”

“Jesus last name is Palin”

“Reagan learned to raise and use excess FICA to pay for lower cap gains etc. Let them pay for cake.”

“Were up to around 20 trillion....not bad for his first 45 days...

stock market lost 350 Billion...and that was just yesterday!

Wake up!”

“Who here hopes Obama fails?”

“Look at that question in two ways. If you think he can restore the Lala of the last years.Yes

If a realistic view of what this country must do to survive. No”

“It does seem somewhat sad when someone has so little confidence that they must turn to Faux News for validation of their own political views. Awe! :(”

“Has the time arrived to privatize social security? Won't really need to when all the revenues start pouring in from 401Ks and IRAs cap gains. Baby went BOOM again.”

“How's that working out for ya guys?”

“People really wanted to Believe in Obama. Watching the let down has been extremely amusing. Hell hath no fury like a moonbat scorned! LOL”

“It has to do with a large mass of people that get gov. subsidized health care(as tax free compensation) or are already on Medicare and don't want anyone else to jump the gravy train.”

“The poor little moonbats are getting an ear full at their town meetings.”

“CNN POLL: After 6 Months, More View Obama Presidency a 'Failure' Than Bush...”

“Reagan was a pig.

He was the first one to populate regulatory agencies with lobbyists for the industries they Used To regulate. Enforcement trailed off; controls on extractive industries vaporised.

Speaking of pigs, what is Jimmy Watt up to these days?”

“I thought I had to pay to get onto any Fox sites. I feel better, now I can leave since I never use them anyway.

I still have Watts picture in wallet.

“Poor little t*lty. Still stuck in the 70's.”

“Reagan was 80's, 70's was Ford.”

“Obama's numbers are tanking fast.

One termer bigtime. Perhaps the entire D party will go with him......”

“The Quinnipiac poll found that:

Independent voters, perhaps the key voting group, are more worried about the deficit rising than congressional inaction, 54 - 37 percent. These voters say 59 - 36 percent that overhaul should not occur if it would "significantly" increase the deficit.

Independents oppose 63 - 33 percent passing a bill with only Democratic votes.

Independent voters also don't think Obama can keep his promise to avoid increasing the deficit and pass health care by an overwhelming 77 - 17 percent.”

“Oink oink oink.”

“71% Say Obama’s Policies Have Driven Up Deficit
Wednesday, August 05, 2009


Seventy-one percent (71%) of U.S. voters say President Obama’s policies have increased the size of the federal deficit, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

Only five percent (5%) say the president’s policies have cut the deficit, and 10% say they have had no impact. Thirteen percent (13%) are not sure.

Eighty percent (80%) of investors say Obama’s policies have driven up the deficit, a view shared by just 57% of non-investors.

Not surprisingly, 88% of Republicans blame the president’s policies, compared to 52% of Democrats. But 79% of voters not affiliated with either party agree.

Obama has initiated a number of big spending programs intended to jump-start the U.S. economy, and the Treasury Department estimates that the federal debt has grown by more than a trillion dollars since he took office. In his defense, the president notes that he inherited both an economic crisis and an already sizable deficit from President Bush.

On the economic crunch, most Americans agree with the president. Fifty-four percent (54%) blame the recession that began under the Bush administration for the nation’s economic woes, while 39% say Obama’s policies are at fault.


A plurality of voters (37%) say cutting the federal deficit in half in the next four years is number one among the four priorities the president listed in a speech to Congress in February, but 66% view it as the goal he is least likely to achieve.

Eighty-one percent (81%) of voters now say the bigger problem for the United States today is not voters’ unwillingness to pay enough in taxes but is instead the unwillingness of politicians to control government spending. This is little changed since May.

Twelve percent (12%) say the problem is that voters are unwilling to pay more in taxes.
Ninety-two percent (92%) of Republicans and 86% of unaffiliated voters see the unwillingness of politicians to control government spending as the bigger problem, as do 67% of Democrats.

Only 16% of voters say tax increases help the economy. Most voters (54%) say tax hikes hurt the economy, a number that has been fairly consistent for more than 10 years.

Sixty-eight percent (68%) of voters expect government spending to increase under the Obama administration. But 46% think cuts in government spending help the economy.

Fifty-four percent (54%) of U.S. voters say tax cuts for the middle class are more important than new spending for health care reform, even as President Obama’s top economic advisers signal that tax hikes may be necessary.
