Independents say Obama hurts job creation | Reuters

(Reuters) - With President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney delivering dueling visions for the U.S. economy in speeches on Thursday, a majority of independents said that Obama's policies have made it harder for Americans to gain employment, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed on Friday.


Fifty-two percent of independents said they agreed with the idea that the president has not helped create more jobs in America, an argument central to Romney's campaign.

Obama appears to have trouble convincing some members of his own party that his administration has been good for jobs: 29 percent of Democrats said they agreed with the claim that he has not been a job creator.

Mark Steyn: Earthly woes mount as Obama's rhetoric soars | obama, moon, together - Opinion - The Orange County Register

Round about this time in the election cycle, a presidential challenger finds himself on the stump and posing a simple test to voters: "Ask yourself – are you better off now than you were four years ago?"

But, in fact, you don't need to ask yourself, because the Federal Reserve Board's Survey of Consumer Finances has done it for you. Between 2007 and 2010, Americans' median net worth fell 38.8 percent – or from $126,400 per family to $77,300 per family. Oh, dear. As I mentioned a few months ago, when readers asked me to recommend countries they could flee to, most of the countries worth fleeing to Americans can no longer afford to live in.

Which means we'll just have to fix things here. How likely is Barack Obama to do this? A few days ago he came to Cleveland, a city that is a byword for economic dynamism, fiscal prudence, and sound government. He gave a 54-minute address that tried the patience even of the most doting court eunuchs. "One of the worst speeches I've ever heard Barack Obama make," pronounced MSNBC's Jonathan Alter...

Respect is Earned: It’s not a benefit of the presidency

Respect is Earned: It’s not a benefit of the presidency http://commonsenseinaradicalage.blogspot.com/2012/06/respect-is-earned-its-not-benefit-of.html http://commonsenseinaradicalage.blogspot.com/  Sat, 16 Jun 2012 03:54:00 GMT  

You demand respect for an office to which you have shown no respect. You demand respect of people whom you have sorely disrespected, and you have embarrassed those people through your callous actions. You have apologized for the noble actions of people whose intent was to aid those in harm’s way and yet, you still act as though it is your right to demand? One could ask a simple question, “Are you capable of adult responsibilities and mature decisions?”

In 2008, you were gifted through the vote of a majority—notwithstanding vote tampering and corruption—of people to be the leader of the greatest nation in the world, and you have spat on that nation, its laws, and the people. Your actions today, were those of a maniacal dictator and not the respectable leader of a free country. You are despicable at best and dangerous at worst. Your arrogance and flaunting of our laws with its limited power to the presidency are an affront to the people and the forefathers who founded this country to rid themselves of treachery and tyranny. You are not only a pathetic leader—less than a leader—but a sinister force in this nation.

As of the last census, there were approximately 50-million illegal aliens—people who have broken the law by coming into this country without invitation or eligibility. Of those 50-million, it is estimated that approximately half have children. You have now saddled the people of the United States with the burden of supporting the children included in that  25-million estimate. They are here illegally, and you have illegally taken steps to make us pay for their food, homes, bills, medical, schooling, and college educations. How dare you, you arrogant imposter?

You are a servant of the people. You are not Commander-in-Chief, as you have chosen to act as dictator…therefore; you have made yourself ineligible to continue in the office of President of the United States. One can only hope that there are men of dignity and honor in the houses of Congress who will finally put an end to your reign of tyranny. If not, then the people will have to act in the stead of this nation and do their duty. Never count the American people out. We have something you could never hope to possess. We have honor, dignity, and humility, and above all else, we have a good and gracious God who protects of from the vile works of evil.

You are wrong. There will be arguments presented, and you will lose. We are not an ignorant lot of infidels, as you have assumed, and we will fight for our country. You, your arrogance, and your hatefulness make those with any morals, whatsoever, sick to their stomachs. How can you even hope to win another term in an office, for which, you were never suited or capable of holding? Your lack of patriotism and not your race is the issue. You’re incapable of serving this nation. Your sanity is in question, but your loyalty is not. You have no loyalty to this country or her people, and you prove that with every speech you give and every law you break.

Articles: Obama: Going Rogue

Remarkably, President Obama has gone rogue, running as no other Democrat before him, openly declaring war on America. The opposing armies are Obama's entitlement-minded-social-justice-zealots vs. hardworking Americans -- patriots who love their country and respect our Constitution.

Please allow me to explain.  Every election, Democrats never campaign on who they really are.  They never reveal their we-know-better-than-you-how-to-run-your-life, intrusive big-government agenda.  Instead, these great pretenders whip out the old "moderate" mask, disguising their "extreme liberal" intentions until after the election.  Obama won the presidency in 2008 pretending to be a moderate.

To win re-election, Obama has "gone rogue," boldly going where no Democrat has gone before.  Obama in essence has said, screw it.  I am not going to masquerade as a moderate.  I am going to campaign as a full blown anti-capitalism, anti-Constitution progressive/socialist!

Obama believes he and his minions... Read full story here.
