Gallup is dead even for Obama’s approval rating 47 – 47. How far will he slide.

the Dems still don’t get it. Are they learning impaired?

Even when on the air, watch how every single lefty will claim to be the victim. Bawney Fwank is the master of the claim of being interrupted in literally every single interview. ARRlen SPECKtor (intentional) has even picked up the liberal practice of being ‘assaulted’ (see Spector v. Bachmann).

On a sidenote -

This one’s for Rahm:

Virginia – DEAD!
New Jersey – DEAD!
Massachusetts – DEAD!

The tried and true Dem playbook would be to take positions and introduce legislation that panders to their constituencies but which they know will never pass. That way they can talk and talk and talk and feel the pain of their constituencies yet never take the chance of losing that constituency by actually doing something to solve the real or imagined problems of said constituency. So, maybe trying to do something, even if they were only bargaining with themselves, is what went wrong.

She accuses others in her party of “overeaching” ( guess she didn’t think taking a bribe was “overeaching” ). She states the D party needs to get “back to the basics’, but am now reading she wants to go forward with O-care. According to her: “The Senate bill is not dead.” All this talk about being able to pass 0-care is giving me the heebie jeebies again.

He views the current opposition as a “mob” – ignoring that its the Obama administratration that’s trying to assemble a mob to intimidate Congress and business to accede to his socialist revolution.

His disdain for the American populace notwithstanding, Blow did have an apt ending:

He underestimated the mob, and his agenda will suffer now that the emperor has no cloture.

4 minute utube video says it all. Kudos for whoever made it.

Yes, the Democrats actually do things. None good, however, and they never learn. Take my state’s senior Senator, Mark Udall (Soc.-CO). Please.

Last year he repeatedly expressed his “concerns” over the growing deficit, and even suggested a “bipartisan task force” to “take action to reduce the national debt.” Hey Mark, here’s an idea: stop proposing wasteful big government projects and stop stuffing bloated bills with more pork.

Now our beloved senior Senator wants to loosen the regulations on credit unions to force them to make risky loans, just like banks. Where have we heard that dumb idea before? Oh wait, it was Barney Frank, wasn’t it? Hey Mark, how’s that working for us?

Meh. Most villages have one, but we have two (Udall and Bennett). Thankfully, we’ll have one less after this Election Day.

And that title comes from a newspaper that strongly favors the Left on the editorial page. (To their credit, they do cover corruption stories, and NC Democrats have obliged by providing the N&O plenty of material.)

RALEIGH, N.C. — For the past decade, North Carolina Democrats in charge of state government have been successful persuading the public they’re unlike fellow party colleagues who’ve ended up behind bars.

Democrats have remained in power in the Legislature and at the Executive Mansion despite the news of illegal activities that sent then-House Speaker Jim Black, Agriculture Commissioner Meg Scott Phipps and Rep. Thomas Wright to prison.

Last week’s indictment of corruption charges against Ruffin Poole, a close aide to former Gov. Mike Easley, however, comes when Democrats lack the advantages of recent years.

“This could be a scenario where you have the megastorm, where you have just a terrible economy, you have unrest and anger with the electorate and then you have (corruption) on top of it,” said Brad Crone, a longtime Democratic consultant in Raleigh. “It’s been a constant drumbeat … there will be a price to pay for it.”

Poole is accused of 51 counts, including bribery, racketeering, money laundering and extortion during his years as Easley’s personal assistant and special counsel.

The indictment describes Poole, 37, as the “go-to guy” to get things done in Easley’s office, with people calling him “the little governor” because of Easley’s reliance on him to assist political supporters.

[snip]

Never before have you seen an allegation of corruption going that close to the governor’s office in modern history,” Crone said.

Republicans jumped on the charges, with state GOP chairman Tom Fetzer calling it part of the “culture of corruption that has risen out of a century of one-party dominance in state government.”

Democrats have sat in the Executive Mansion since 1993 and held almost continuously the power in the Legislature since the late 1890s.

Activities surrounding Easley while he was governor have been the subject of federal and state investigations in the year since he left office in January 2009. Neither probe is complete.

Obama, who was a great candidate but a terrible president, seems to be thinking his problem is that he needs to get back in campaign mode.

But people on both sides of the aisle are criticizing him for failing to live up to his campaign promises – from the left for failing to close Gitmo, failing to get us out of the middle and far east, failing to get health care passed, etc., and from the right for failing to live up to promises of transparency, post-racism, post-partisanship, etc.

So he’s trying to get even more engaged in campaign mode of making promises that sound good but he has no intention of or perhaps ability to keep, when voters are saying “We liked what Candidate Obama said but hate what President Obama is doing.”

Is it me, or is this back to the “when you find yourself in a hole” situation? It’s not a matter of “message” now – it’s a matter of having a record of accomplishments (or not) that people are basing their thoughts on. How does this approach not backfire bigtime?
