GOP Debates Raise HRH Obama’s popularity. Fact.

So here’s a scary observation.

I ran the numbers and graphed Rasmussen’s running average of HRH Obama’s popularity among likely voters against the GOP debate schedule. And you know what? The debates most-liked by the GOP base are helping Obama.

After the 8/11 Fox debate, his approval index stayed flat at -22.

After the 9/5 S. Carolina debate, he bumped-up a point, from -20 to -19.

After the 9/7 MSNBC debate, he stayed flat for a day and then dropped two the following day, from -22 to -24.

After the 9/12 CNN Debate, he went up three over the next couple of days, from -20[…]

HRH Obama hates his job, is depressed and likely will quit

Bob Beckel evidently told Stuart Varney today that there’s a possibility that Obama will pull an LBJ and decide not to run again.

I wrote here and here that I think Obama will quit or be tossed under the bus by the DNC. I’m not alone in that prediction… and here … and here .

Now Beckel, the face of the Dems on Fox, thinks Obama will quit.

Evidently NY Times is coming-out with a column that HRH Obama is depressed and doesn’t like being president.  Gawker.com’s already printed a similar column.

(He’d like to be King and keeps telling everyone paying-attention, though).

I can’t imagine how he WOULD like being president.

His far-left base is[…]

The Man who SHOULD be President

Paul Ryan.

Here is a link to a speech given today by Mr Ryan. (via RCP and Ricochet.)

As the columnist publishing it concludes: ”Can you imagine either of the serious contenders for the Republican Presidential nomination giving so thoughtful a speech? ”

Answer? No, I can’t.

Here’s the text:

Thanks very much for your kind introduction. It’s always a pleasure for me to speak to Hillsdale folks. Your mission here at the Kirby Center is a great example of what Hillsdale College is all about – that is, in the words of James Madison, “liberty and learning, each leaning on the other for their mutual[…]

Life at the CA DMV

So I took my son today to the California DMV. He has reached the age for his Learner’s Permit… and it’s time he was introduced to the wonders of government “services.” Might help him understand my dislike for anything having to do with “government” and “employee” being in the same sentence.

So I made an appointment two days in advance to minimize my time with the morons. Because I made the appointment on the phone (do people really go to the DMV to make appointments to go to the DMV?), I had no official printout of the appointment when arriving at[…]

Car Wash at the White House!! Operators are waiting to take your call!

The Left keeps demanding we respect the Office of the Presidency, linking as usual criticism of the whack job in the Oval Office with his shirtsleeves rolled-up and feet on the desk, with the Office of the Presidency.

This is nonsense on stilts.

How can I tell?

The President himself has no respect for the office. If the officeholder himself cannot respect the office he holds, then it’s pretty tough to expect us to respect that office - at least while he’s in it.

What drives my comment?

This.

The One, again, is holding a RAFFLE for the chance to have dinner with himself, POTUS Rex,[…]

Palin is Going to Announce a CENTRIST 3rd-Party Candidacy

Sarah Palin shortly will announce an independent, 3^rd Party candidacy for the Presidency of the United States.

There, I said it.

Now before you decide I am nuts, the following:

The NYT - the NY Times!! - has an op-ed today that includes this sentence:

“So here is something I never thought I would write: a column about Sarah Palin’s ideas.”

The head on the column is NOT negative. In fact, it is exactly what most of America seems to be looking for:  “Some of Sarah Palin’s Ideas Cross the Political Divide”

Here’s some more for red-meat middle-of-the-roaders (if that’s not an oxymoron too far):

“Let us begin[…]

Dems Tossing Obama, Part 2

i haven’t done this before, but I have the feeling that the “wave” to which I referred the other day of Dems writing negative stuff about The One in order to get him to quit, or as a setup to primarying him, is growing. Consequently I’ve decided to provide an update to run  more links to the Lefties throwing Obama under the bus - and off the ticket.

Just a few tidbits from today: TIME Magazine is asking if Obama’s “bad for the environment.” WaPo’s in-house liberal cartoonist is laughing at The One (via Powerlineblog). WaPo’s Richard Cohen in increasing his output of[…]

IRS Filling-in YOUR Tax Forms?

if this doesn’t bother you, you have far more trust in the federal government and the IRS and Congress than I do. More, I think, than do most Americans.

IRS: “Here’s your tax form and pre-addressed envelope. Simply sign, buy and affix a stamp, and return it in the US Mail by April 15. Thank you for taking advantage of this easy new service. We’re here to help. Sincerely, the IRS”

Sound farfetched?

It’s not. The Feds think there’s a $345B “tax gap,” the difference between how much of OUR money the Government thinks WE ought to be allowed to keep, and how much[…]

The Democrats are Throwing Obama Under the Bus

It is getting more and more difficult to go a day without seeing a column by a Democrat pundit on the damage Obama is doing to the Democrat Party.

Maureen Dowd is “one-and-done” with him. Salon thinks Obama is “Ruining the Democrat Party.”

James Carville, the attack-alligator of the Left, when confronted with the possible choice between watching Obama read the same-ol’ same-ol’ from TOTUS, or the GOP debate this coming week, said he’d watch the GOP debate. “…and I’m not even a Republican or even close to being a Republican.” Even Carville accepts that Obama can’t possibly win – so he wants[…]

Romney v. Perry

Romney’s strategy is that he is a career businessman who knows how to create jobs, not a career politician who has not created jobs.

Frankly, though, we don’t need a CEO in the Oval Office. America is not a top-down nation - as Obama is finding-out. CEOs rarely are successful in government because they are accustomed to others doing what they are told. If a CEO approach could work, Obama’s approach could work; he certainly is telling people what to do. Problem for Obama - and for Romney - is that that is not the role of government in a representative[…]
