A new Gallup poll released today shows President Obama sinking 4 points in job approval, to 45%, and spiking in job DISapproval by 5 points, to 48%.
It's unusual to have this kind of dramatic swing happen in just one day, so today's poll could be an aberration. We'll have to see what the next days' polling shows.
But what is clear is that after a brief bounce after the killing of Osama bin Laden, Obama is back down to George W. Bush polling territory.
Americans have had enough of staggeringly high unemployment, no job creation, anemic economic growth, massive expansions of government, huge new entitlements, record-breaking deficits and debt, personal economic unease, a rudderless foreign policy, weakness abroad, and being outpaced by lesser powers.
From the earliest days of the Obama presidency, Americans knew that something wasn't right. Something just felt wrong. Now that "something wrong" has a name: a failed presidency.
Americans don't put up with this kind of malaise and collapse for long. Two and half years is long enough. We want our country back: the powerful, strong, certain, dynamic, innovative engine of freedom and economic growth we have always been. Since Obama can't---or won't---deliver it, we'll be asking for our "check, please!" in 2012. In the meantime, Obama will find that his poll numbers reflect his failures. They will be his own "there's something wrong" moment.

Rush has it all wrong.
What the Republicans need to do is go after the black and Latino vote. We need more of the black and Latino vote in order to win. Huntsman may be just the man to it. Romney is a good man, but his policies are too right wing. Too extreme.

Reagan, October 27, 1964 -- from "The Speech"
"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done."

See Rush Limbaugh today. He not only read that Reagan speech, he played that Reagan speech to about 15 million listeners.
He played that Reagan speech to show how Huntsman pales in comparison. This cheerful Mormon billionaire brought the telling comparison on himself by his laughable pretentiousness. He "launched" his campaign at the same Liberty Island location that Ronald Reagan launched his decades ago. It was like a cute little tugboat answering the call for a battleship.
Hunstman's empty nicey-nice "civility" to the crock of Barack was contrasted devastatingly with Limbaugh's playing of Reagan's dry but pungent take-down of Mr. Malaise, Jimmuh Carter.
I'll say it again. Michael Savage can be very on when he's on, and also very off when he's off. And "The Golfer" can still do things that Savage can't do or won't do and, despite his brilliance, won't even think of doing.

These days, the streets of Athens experience one strike (and power cut) after another. The Greek protesters are clueless, living in "the State [which] is the great illusion where everyone thinks they can live at the expense of everyone else." (Frederic Bastiat.)
This is the illusion of a global village - we all live together or die together. Never was there a better reason for a nation, other than to declare it in default, and isolate it. The EU bailout may not proceed unless there is a plan for the next bailout.
although a few banks might be distressed by a Greek default, it is easier to fix than Greece with its new socialist government. Its finance minister almost send Greece into default over the 2004 Olympics. This does not bode well for the idea of western democracy, as Greece self-destructs once again, this time in a modern age. There will be many strange foreign elements crawling from there, idiosyncratic religions, gypsies, and gay people. They might try selling the Parthenon - Hopefully not to the Chinese who already own Volvo.

This guy is a former homosexual who was on Fred Dicker's show. He says that homosexuals have an agenda and want to go after kids. I'm not sure if I believe that all homosexuals want to go after kids, but a concern is that legalizing gay marriage will allow these people more power. Check out the interview around 7:57. http://www.talk1300.com/podcast/#Fred%20Dicker%20Live%20from%20the%20State%20Capitol

Governor "Subprime" was supposed to have closed the deal for Nannyberg and the Pogwessive Paymasters by Friday, then Monday, and now ir's Teusday, still no sell-out to the Gay Mafia and its socialist collaborators.
David Tyree, the gallant footballer is doing what I "fantasized" about him doing---he's in Albany telling the polls NO!
Since most of these lawyers never studied history, wonder if anybody in Albany is giving out copies of THE GAY SWASTIKA.....Most of them undoubtedly think the Nazis never did anything with homosexuals except persecute them. PC groupthink in todays dumbed down Libworld.

I'm not sure whether many Jews even today know that their hero FDR stopped plans to bomb the railroad tracks leading to the death camps. Some seem to know that many Jews stayed in Germany, figuring that the "little corporal" Hitler was so obviously a bad "joke," (best played by Charlie Chaplin in THE GREAT DICTATOR) that nobody outside of German beer halls could take him seriously.
The author of an excellent biography on Heinrich Heine, the greatest Jewish poet in the German language, had a simple explanation in the Intro to his fine book: "In politics Jews are crazy."

From Boy Scouts to Brownshirts
The "Butch" homosexuals of the CS transformed Germany. Their primary vehicle was the German youth movement, known as the Wandervogel (Rovers or Wandering Youth). "In Central Europe," writes homosexual historian Parker Rossman, "there was another effort to revive the Greek ideal of pedagogic pederasty in the movement of 'Wandering Youth'... Ultimately, Hitler used and transformed the movement...expanding and building upon its romanticism as a basis for the Nazi Party" (Rossman:103). THE PINK SWASTIKA
