Approval

Posted By Rod Kaufman

In a different thread someone spoke about the need for more than one data point to identify a trend. Multiple groups measuring the same trend provides even more confidence that the trend is real. With that in mind, the American people have lost confidence in Obama. I know of no poll that shows confidence in Obama's job approval increasing they are all tanking. Here is yet another poll that shows the disapproval of this President.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=akA7XABFTuSs

The poll found that voters disapprove of the way Obama is handling the economy by 49 percent to 45 percent. On his effort to overhaul of the health-care system, 52 percent disapprove of his handling of the issue while 39 percent approve.

This is consistent with every other poll out there. At this point in his presidency Bush the public approved of Bush than they do of this loser.

With his weakness and lack of support from the public, he has no mandate to spend more or to take over any more industries. However, Dems still run all levels of the government and the only real way to stop Obama's madness is to contact our representatives and make sure that if they continue to support this loser's policies they will lose their seat in the coming election.
"This is consistent with every other poll out there."
NO IT IS NOT:

Palin Weighs In on "Evil" Health Plan

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Downright evil." With Obama creating a "death panel."
That's the level of hysteria and insanity emerging from Palin and her backers.
I doubt Palin's supporters have bothered to look at factcheck to learn her charges about Obama's health care plan are false, as are many of the other GOP proclamations.

Stephen Hawking & Brits on Health Care

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Praise from the world renown scientist, and the leaders of the liberal and conservative parties as well as the average bloke in the street in Britain in response to US Republicans attacking their health care:

Anderson Cooper interviewed a former insurance company insider tonight on CNN. If only the conservatives who show up at the townhall meetings knew how much they have been manipulated into repeating the talking points of the insurance industry...

Now all of the Republican and conservative BS on healthcare is becomming to believed by a majority of Americans despite the facts:
