Obama’s Leadership

Now that's almost funny. Apparently Obama can see what's going to happen when Obamacare is fully implemented, otherwise he wouldn't have postponed five parts of it until after the 2014 election.

I agree ...

The ignorance of sheeple is indeed astonishing and disturbing as well!

The recent Reason-Rupe poll also finds two groups among those who self-identify as supporters of the Tea Party, with 41 percent leaning-libertarian and 59 percent socially conservative.

Your link doesn't work.

Then perhaps they will vote for a new party, and not one that is controlled by corporate interests. However, as long as you have the likes of Armey, Rove, and Beck, being the largest contributors to the program, that won't happen.

In another part of this article it says that 41% of the members are actually Democrats/Independents.

Who Are the Tea Partiers?
Though the top-line results of some national surveys have suggested otherwise, Tea Party participants are a small minority of Americans. In many polls, more people say they are unsure about or unfamiliar with the Tea Party than say they support it. Seemingly minor differences in question wording have a significant impact on conclusions about the breadth of Tea Party affiliation, and poll questions asking broadly about “support” for the Tea Party vastly overestimate the phenomenon’s reach.
The CBS News/ New York Times poll completed in April 2010— one of the most comprehensive national polls to date on Tea Party activism—finds that only one in five of those who claimed to be Tea Party supporters had actually attended an event or donated money.
Particularly given that people typically overstate their political activity, the number of people who have actually participated in Tea Party events is likely smaller than even this measure suggests.
As we discuss later, there are perhaps a few hundred active Tea Party groups nationally, and only a small fraction of those groups have memberships over five hundred people.
Despite showing varying measures of levels of support, nationwide surveys produce a consistent picture of Tea Party supporters, a depiction that jibes with firsthand accounts of meetings and protests.
Older, white, and middle class is the typical profile of a Tea Party participant. Between 55 and 60 percent of supporters are men; 80–90 percent are white; and 70–75 percent are over 45 years old. Given the disproportionate number of older white males, it is little surprise that Tea Party supporters are usually found to have somewhat higher incomes than typical Americans.

Um-Hmm. Flattery will get you nowhere with me. Wearing blinders and being a drone isn't my style. Do I have a bias? You betcha. I used to be one of those liberal bleeding hearts who voted for Democrats and believed everything the media told me. Took some life experiences and doing my own research to change my outlook and politica views. Today I mostly operate on intuition, which has served me well.

Obama's Economic Approval Slips to 35%

Was 42% in June; decline mirrors drop in overall approval

by Lydia Saad

PRINCETON, NJ -- Despite President Barack Obama's renewed focus on the nation's economy this summer, he scores worse with Americans on the economy than he did in June. His approval rating on the issue, now 35%, is down seven percentage points, and his ratings on taxes and the federal budget deficit are each down five points. During the same period, his overall approval rating is down three points.

In reality, this means 65% of Americans disapprove of Obama's leadership (or lack there of) when it comes to the economy, less the margin of error of course.

Despite what the wacko liberals say and the MSM tries to make you think, the far majority of Americans are fed up with this socialist idiot and his anti-American destructive policies and ideas.
