New Gallup poll shows Barack Obama’s approval rating dropped 7 points in the last 3 days
According to this article the latest Gallup poll shows Barack Obama’s approval rating dropped seven point in three days:
In the three-day period ending on Oct. 23, says Gallup, 53 percent said they approved of the job Obama was doing and 42 percent said they did not.
On Oct. 24, that dropped to 51 percent who said they approved and 44 percent who said they do not.
On Oct. 25, it dropped again to 48 percent who said they approved and 47 percent who said they do not.
On Oct. 26, it dropped yet again to 46 percent who said they approved and 49 percent who said they did not.
Barack Obama has gone from a 53%-42% positive favorability rating to a 46%-49% negative favorability rating in the span of just three days.
The only big news to come out during this period was the news that the Obama regime denied the CIA’s request to send in military backup in Benghazi while the seven hour attack was ongoing on three different occasions.
I have to believe that despite the mainstream media’s attempt to whitewash and ignore this scandal that the American people are still learning about Barack Obama’s failed leadership, misrepresentations, lies, cover up, and deceit in regards to this terrorist attack and it is negatively impacting Barack Obama’s poll numbers as we draw to within one week of this critical election.
At this point we can only hope that enough people look at the Benghazi cover up and begin to question whether or not Barack Obama is fit to lead the American people for another four years. I think once people see the full magnitude of this failure that they cannot with a good conscience vote for the man who failed to protect our diplomats before the attack took place, or the man who failed to send in reinforcements once the attack was underway.
The Obama regime denied three requests for military backup while the terrorist attack in Benghazi was ongoing
One of the questions that has bothered the hell out of me in regards to the terrorist attack on the United States consulate in Libya on the anniversary of September 11th is this: If the attack lasted for six to seven hours why was the airforce not sent in to relieve the situation on the ground when by all accounts they were only one to two hours from the action?
We still don’t know the answer to that question but according to this article we now know that it wasn’t because the people on the ground didn’t need or ask for the help. We now know from sources on the ground that the CIA requested backup three times while the attack was ongoing and were denied all three times.
New Reveal Politics ad: Politics and Pensions
On August 7th of this year America’s Watchtower reported in this post that newly released emails showed that Timothy Geithner might have played a role in cutting off non-union employee pensions while protecting the pensions of union employees during the General Motors bailout that Barack Obama likes to claim is one of his crowning achievements as president.
Here is part of what I wrote:
You may or may not remember this, but when the Obama regime bailed out the automakers industry 20,000 non-union retirees lost their rightfully earned pensions while all retired union members were allowed to keep what they rightfully earned during the course of their careers.
This, of course, is in direct contrast to what Barack Obama stated when he was running for the office he currently holds. During the 2008 campaign Barack Obama said not protecting a person’s pension was “not the America I believe in” and promised to protect the workers’ interests ahead of the interests of the bankers:
Right now, bankruptcy laws are more focused on protecting banks than protecting pensions,” Obama said then. “And, I don’t think that’s fair. It’s not the America I believe in. It’s time to stop cutting back the safety net for working people while we protect golden parachutes for the well-off. If you’ve worked hard and played by the rules, then you’ve earned your pension. If a company goes bankrupt, then workers need to be our top priority, not an afterthought
Apparently, although he didn’t say so, he was only talking about unionized workers and not all workers because the Obama regime made sure the Democrats’ largest special interest group was taken care of while the non-union workers lost what they earned and he did nothing to stop it. So much for earning your pension if you are not a member of Barack Obama’s preferred class of people.
Here is a new ad released by Reveal Politics which takes Barack Obama to task for not protecting the pensions of non-union Delphi employees when he took over General Motors.
CBS cut a portion of a September 12th interview with Barack Obama where he admitted the Libya attack was terrorism
This is an interesting story for a couple of reasons which I will address in this post.
On September 12th Barack Obama conducted an interview with ’60 Minutes’ in which he alluded to the fact that the attack on the United States consulate in Libya was a terrorist attack and wasn’t linked to the You Tube video that nobody saw:
You’re right that this is not a situation that was exactly the same as what happened in Egypt, and my suspicion is, is that there are folks involved in this who were looking to target Americans from the start
But CBS decided to cut this portion of the interview from their broadcast and we can only assume at this point it was because Barack Obama was still publicly trying to blame this attack on America and a You Tube video and they were trying to cover Barack Obama’s back–either on their own or at the request of Barack Obama. For whatever reason CBS decided to not run a clip from Barack Obama which contradicted his official story at that time.
Two weeks ago I wrote about two new polls in New Hampshire which showed a close race between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama; one poll had Mitt Romney up by four while the other had the two presidential hopefuls tied at 48%.
The poll that showed the race in New Hampshire as a dead heat was Rassmussen and today they have released a new New Hampshire poll and it shows Mitt Romney up by two, at 50%-48%, in the Granite State.
This is the first time that Mitt Romney has led in the state of New Hampshire in the Rassmussen poll and it shows us that Mitt Romney clearly has momentum in this swing state considering that Barack Obama held an advantage over Mitt Romney of 48%-43% back in June according to Rassmussen.
Barack Obama’s number has remained unchanged for nearly four months in New Hampshire while Mitt Romney has continued to gain support and he is now at the 50% number for the first time.
This looks like it is going to be a tight race and New Hampshire’s four electoral votes could prove to be a game changer–I have said it before, but if Al Gore had won New Hampshire in 200o George W Bush never would have been president–so this could be very good news for Mitt Romney if he can continue to build on his current momentum.
Open thread for Thursday, October 25th: Candidate edition
Here is the open thread for Thursday, October 25th; please feel free to leave links to interesting articles and to discuss whatever issues come up during the course of the day.
The election is now about a week and a half away so my musical selection will be ‘Candidate’ by Joy Division.
Oh, I don’t know what made me,
What gave me the right,
To mess with your values,
And change wrong to right.
It’s just second nature,
It’s what we’ve been shown,
We’re living by your rules,
That’s all that we know.
Unfortunately Ian Curtis committed suicide in 1980 so there is very little video of Joy Division with the exception of ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ and ‘She’s Lost Control’ so I am going to have to settle for an audio clip.
Enjoy and have a great day.
A desperate Barack Obama looks to Gloria Allred to save him with an October surprise
Barack Obama might not be willing to admit it publicly but privately he senses that the election is slipping passed him as Mitt Romney has all the momentum with a mere two weeks before Americans head to the polls.
Desperate times call for desperate measures and Barack Obama is not someone who feels he is above using dirty tricks and chicanery to win an election so he has unleashed the woman who brought down Herman Cain to help him bring down Mitt Romney, Gloria Allred, with an October surprise. (By the way, what happened to those lawsuits after Herman Cain left the presidential race?)
Two weeks ago Gloria Allred met with Barack Obama at a fundraiser and here is what she had to say about their meeting:
she “just had a few words with the President” backstage, “he had some very kind words for me,” and “knows of my work…”
And as America’s Watchtower wrote about here yesterday, Gloria Allred and the Boston Globe appeared in a Boston court earlier today in an attempt to unseal sworn testimony Mitt Romney made in a hearing many years ago. There will be a second hearing tomorrow.
New RNC ad: Making a big election about small things
Below is a new RNC ad I found over at The Right Scoop that I thought I would share with you. In this ad the RNC uses Barack Obama’s words from the 2008 campaign about making a big election about small things when you don’t have anything to run on and compares those words to the way he is running the 2012 campaign.
Here it is:
The White House knew within two hours the attack on the consulate in Libya was terrorism
Barack Obama’s defense for why he mislead and lied to the American people about the terrorist attack on the United States consulate in Libya escalating out of a peaceful protest over a You Tube video is unravelling almost as quickly as his whole Middle East policy. We now know–and the Obama regime has admitted–there was no protest in Libya over a video that nobody had seen and in fact this was a well planned out and coordinated terrorist attack that the Obama regime was unprepared for in spite of the warning signs an attack was coming and multiple previous attacks leading up to that fateful day.
For weeks Barack Obama continued to make the false assertion that an American was responsible for causing the outrage in Libya which led to the death of Chris Stevens and three other Americans even when the whole world knew this wasn’t true. On September 25th Barack Obama spoke in front of the United Nations and again blamed the You Tube video for the violence. He did this even though it was being reported he knew of the al Qaeda link within 48 hours of the attack.
Donald Trump readies an October surprise against Barack Obama
We just learned that tomorrow at 9:00 in the morning Gloria Allred and the Boston Globe will appear in a Boston courtroom and attempt to have sealed testimony given by Mitt Romney in some past court case unsealed in an attempt to unleash an October surprise and end Mitt Romney’s hope of beating Barack Obama.
Now we are hearing that Donald Trump is preparing to reveal divorce papers filed by Michelle and Barack Obama because at one time they were seriously thinking about getting a divorce.
It appears as if the last two weeks of this campaign are going to get real ugly real quick if these two stories are true and to tell you the truth I find both of these people (Allred and Trump) to be despicable. This is not what we need at this time while we are trying to have a serious debate on the future of our country.
