Obama’s Poll Numbers Tanking

From latest Rasmussen data,

“Obama’s Poll Numbers Are Falling to Earth”

Polling data show that Mr. Obama’s approval rating is dropping and is below where George W. Bush was in an analogous period in 2001. Rasmussen Reports data shows that Mr. Obama’s net presidential approval rating — which is calculated by subtracting the number who strongly disapprove from the number who strongly approve — is just six, his lowest rating to date.

Overall, Rasmussen Reports shows a 56%-43% approval, with a third strongly disapproving of the president’s performance. This is a substantial degree of polarization so early in the administration. Mr. Obama has lost virtually all of his Republican support and a good part of his Independent support, and the trend is decidedly negative.

(More at the link.)

Well, about time the sheeple woke up and smelled the cyanide tea. One can only hope that when The One’s polling numbers actually hit dirtside, they keep going down to the very depths of hell. Seriously. Because, while I wish him success as president, I most certainly do NOT see success in the office entailing the success of his agenda. Only if his agenda fails will history judge him to be a success as president.

Grading The One

The libtards at MSNBC must be in a tizzy. The results so far on their poll asking folks to grade The One’s performance to date aren’t turning out so well for their Anointed One:

Greed, Lies and Bluster: No “Hope and Change”

After perusing Bobby Jindal’s after SOU address, I went back and tried studying the Obamassiah’s peroration for genuine content. Hasn’t anyone told him he’s living in the White House now? Why’s he still giving a stump speech, trying to win the election? Oh. Right. That’s ALL he knows how to do: lie, bluster and appeal to greed in order to win elections. Actually DOING ANYTHING MEANINGFUL while in office is a concept that he’s so far not had to tackle. I suppose one could argue that bullying for something–anything!–to be done now, without thought or reflection, about the economy and then turning the idea over to his political cronies to stuff with pork and political patronage does constitute doing something, but something useful, something meaningful? I think not.

Once again, as far as actually serving in the office he’s been elected to, the Obamassiah is simply phoning in his part, rehashing his fav teleprompter-fed sound bytes.

Again, why is it that anyone thinks this guy’s an orator? Oh, yeh. Because he’s (sorta, kinda-almost) black (cafe-au-lait with a twist) and gets the affirmative action bye? I suppose one could always join with the optimistic young boy who, shoveling through a load of horse manure on Christmas Day, enthusiastically proclaimed, “With all this horse shit, there must be a pony in here somewhere!”

But with the Obamassiah’s record of non-accomplishment so far, I’m not willing to shovel too much more horse shit to find a pony buried (probably smothered, dead) at the bottom of the pile.

Red State has some useful links on the SOU bloviation. And the comments are worth reading as well. In fact, I’ll just steal one of the best:

E Pluribus Unum commented,

“For those unwilling to sacrifice an hour of their lives, I found a condensed version that I think captures the spirit entirely”

So, what’s the condensed version he posted?

*heh*

Name Change

Michelle Malkin has a long post well worth your time, but the capstone, AFAIC, is her inclusion of Woodie Guthrie’s cover (and redaction) of Tom Paxton’s classic. See the YouTube video below. Needs no further comment from me.

Oh the price of gold is rising out of sight
And the dollar is in sorry shape tonight
What the dollar used to get us now won’t buy a head of lettuce
No the economic forecast isn’t right
But amidst the clouds I spot a shining ray
I can even glimpse a new and better way
And I’ve devised a plan of action worked it down to the last fraction
And I’m going into action here today

CHORUS:
I am changing my name to Fannie Mae
I am going down to Washington D.C.
I’ll be glad they got my back
‘Cause what they did for Freddie Mac
Will be perfectly acceptable to me
I am changing my name to Fannie Mae
I am headed for that great receiving line
So when they hand a trillion grand out
I’ll be standing with my hand out
I’ll get mine

When my creditors are screaming for their dough
I’ll be proud to tell them all where they can go
They won’t have to scream and holler
They’ll be paid to the last dollar
Where the endless streams of money seem to flow
I’ll be glad to tell them all what they can do
It’s a matter of a simple form or two
It’s not just remuneration it’s a liberal education
Ain’t you kind of glad that I’m in debt to you

Chorus

Since the first amphibians crawled out of the slime (of the slime!)
We’ve been struggling in an unrelenting climb
We were hardly up and walking before money started talking
And it’s sad that failure is an awful crime
It’s been that way for a millennium or two
But now it seems that there’s a different point of view
If you’re a corporate titanic and your failure is gigantic
Down in Congress there’s a safety net for you

Chorus

UPDATE: Not to be left out of updating his classic, “I’m Changing My Name to Chrysler” *heh* Tom Paxton has his own revision out:

Good git fiddle work, and his lyric changes are, if anything, more biting. Not as singable are the melodic variations, but then, it was his song to begin with, as I recall, and he’s perfectly entitled to change whatever he likes about it.

Well, That’s Certainly Going Well…

… or not.

A few months after the election, and a couple of weeks into the reign of the Obamassiah, I can look back at my wishful October thinking and reflect. Oh, I was extremely displeased to be forced by the Dhimmicraps’ offering to vote for McWhatsisname (Dhimmicrap Lite) simply in hopes that he’d find health issues precluded him from serving more than a day or two so that Palin could have room to become our Thatcher, a sort of Reagan in skirts.

Not to be.

But at least the reign of The One has so far proven to be all one could foresee: riddled with corruption, cronyism, already failed promises (thank God for small blessings), etc. Look out Grant and Clinton: your records of corruption seem to be in danger of falling, and even Dhimmi Kahtah must look to his laurels as the stupidest smart president given the way The Obamassiah’s handling his first couple of weeks in office.

But we have to give the poor guy a break. This is his first elective office where he’s had to actually do anything besides collect a check… and run for office/re-election again. Actually doing stuff is hard.

Poor baby.

“The time has come to set aside childish things”

So intoned The One yesterday. To paraphrase the wisdom of Inego Montoya, “I do not think those words mean what you think they mean,” Mr. Obama. After all, isn’t this man, photographed at your inauguration yesterday, your carefully chosen chief of staff?

rahm-emanuel-raspberry

Is this a serious administration or what?

What.

Merely invoking a (paraphrase of a) small portion of 1Corinthians 13:11 solely as a rhetorical device, absent even a bare nod toward its substance, doesn’t bode well for this administration’s honesty or its seriousness, now does it?

But from his history, you were expecting anything else? “Sound and fury, signifying nothing” might be a better analysis of The One’s inauguration speech yesterday than any I’ve read/heard from the orifices of Mass Media Podpeople.

Inauguration Observations

What kinda “Ya gotta love me” fest is this thing today?

Early rehearsals for a special performance by The One and the Goofy One featured stand-ins who were:

a. too much “whiter” than The One and
b. a larger, more articulate version of Goofy Uncle Joe

Unfortunately, the stand-ins were so much better than The Stars (well, The Star and the Comic Sidekick) that the whole gig was canceled in favor of just the trademarked Big SmileTM from The One and the same old loopy dung beetle grin from The Goofy One.

Climbing near $160 million for the inauguration party/coronation? Gee, that’d just about cover my Twinky and Ho-Ho needs for the next 2,000 years… by which time I hope the Big Show will be over (well, it seems like it’s gone on nearly forever already, doesn’t it?).

I’ll leave other observations as an exercise for the reader. All one of you.

The 10 Best Ways to Watch the Obama Inauguration Tomorrow

In order to suffer as little brain damage as possible during tomorrow’s Obamassiah “I love me and so should you” fest, one should watch the orgy

10. After having ones head bashed in by an Obamaniac for noting “inconsistencies” (lies, obfuscations and “look over there’s”) in The One’s public pronouncements.

9. While under total anesthesia

8. While dead drunk

7. After a few (or more) hits of “Acapulco Gold” saved from the 70s (it may no longer be any good, but at least you can blame what you see on the possible presence of hallucinogens in your system)

6. After poking ones eyes out with a sharp stick

5. And ones ears out as well

4. From somewhere orbiting out around Uranus, while hunting for the Mothership that dictates the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind’s every bloviation.

3. While circulating a petition to amend the Constitution to allow [edit]encourage [edit] require citizens to dunk D.C. politicians *spit* into the Potomoc until we are rid of them (see: keep busy doing Good Works and you’ll not have time to be harmed by the toxic cotton candy of the inauguration coverage!).

2. Chant to oneself over and over again, “At least I didn’t vote for this maroon… ”

1. Not at all. Give up and just watch Pinky and the Brain instead.

Ahhh! I think I’ve found my solution! I could live with The Brain as prez, and Pinky’s at least an order of magnitude more intelligent than Joe “I-never-had-a-thought-of-my-own Bigmouth” Biden. At least Pinky and The Brain hold out some hope for tomorrow…
