Holy friggin’ moly. Obama approval rating plunges to new low after healthcare vote

For the second straight day, the Rasmussen Reportsupdate shows the highest level of Strong Disapproval yet recorded for this President. So much for passing healthcare helping him

obama-approval-index-minus-21

Just yesterday, Democrats were saying that the healthcare vote would cause their approval numbers to soar. Hmmmm. Might be time to rethink that theory.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-six percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President.

Fifty-three percent (53%) of men Strongly Disapprove along with 39% of women. Most African-American voters (58%) Strongly Approve while most white voters (53%) Strongly Disapprove.

Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republicans Strongly Disapprove as do 52% of unaffiliated voters. Forty-seven percent (47%) of Democrats Strongly Approve.

For the second straight day, the update shows the highest level of Strong Disapproval yet recorded for this President. That negative rating had never topped 42% before yesterday. However, it has risen dramatically since the Senate found 60 votes to move forward with the proposed health care reform legislation. Most voters (55%) oppose the health care legislation and senior citizens are even more likely than younger voters to dislike the plan.

In the words of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, happy trails to you, President Obama, ‘til we meet again.

Everybody hates Harry, 54% have unfavorable view of Reid

Rasmussen shows what happens when a pompous politician forces an unpopular healthcare program down the throats of the American people. Hope this guy has a good lobbying job lined up, because he’s going to need it come November, 2010.

Hide the decline incline: the real cost of ObamaCare

Ahhh, those wily Democrats. They tried to say that ten years of ObamaCare would cost under a trillion dollars. But then it came out that their numbers were based on ten years of goes-inna and only six years of goes-outta.

Maybe Montana Democrat Senator Max Baucus was overcome with guilt or maybe he was secretly injected with truth serum – there’s no real way of knowing – but he unexpectedly spilled the beans about ObamaCare.

“Healthcare reform, whether you use a ten-year number or when you start in 2010 or start in 2014, wherever you start at, so it is still either $1 trillion or it’s $2.5 trillion, depending on where you start…”

Expect an angry phone call from the White House today, Senator Baucus.

Ode to ObamaCare: Katie Couric reads poem extolling healthcare bill

The Perky One recited a holiday Ode to ObamaCare last Monday night.

Would Walter Cronkite have recited a poem about the day’s news? Chet Huntley? David Brinkley? Hell, even Keith Olbermann would have had more sense.

Well, damn those old sticks in the mud. Katie Couric is not about to be bound by tradition.

The Perky One recited a holiday Ode to ObamaCare last Monday night.

That’s not to say the CBS News anchor is taking a position on the issue. No, not at all. Surely, she’s just looking for creative ways to deliver the news and climb out of the ratings basement. If this works, she may try topless news next week.

Damn the cost! Immortality is ours! Bwahahahaha!

“Today we vote whether to even discuss one of the greatest issues of our generation – indeed, one of the greatest issues this body has ever face: whether this nation will finally guarantee its people the right to live free from the fear of illness and death, which can be prevented by decent health care for all.”

Live free from the fear of illness and death?

Well, hell, why didn’t the Democrats just mention immortality in the first place? Now that we understand the miracles to be wrought by ObamaCare, we’re behind it 110%. Maybe 115%.

Obama exploits ill children. Or ill actors. Or healthy actors. Or something.

Barack Obama’s personal storm troopers, also known as Organizing For America, held a contest to create a commercial promoting ObamaCare. Oh, excuse us, they call it “health insurance reform.”

This, believe it or not, is the winner. Yet another of those stupid left wing commercials in which supposedly “real” children preach to adults.

Can we ask a question? What kind of weak-minded moron has ever had his opinion swayed on any subject by the persuasive powers of a seven year old?

We hope Organizing for America spends a lot of money running this commercial everywhere. In fact, we’ll gladly take their money if they want to run it on IHateTheMedia.com.

Hell, OFA’s money is as good as anyone’s. Not that anyone’s is worth all that much these days.

Butt out! Gallup poll says Americans don’t want government healthcare

Support for government run healthcare has fallen off a cliff. In fact, more Americans now want the government to butt out rather than butt in. Here’s how Gallup.com reports its latest poll.

gallup-poll-healthcare-government

The Greatest Orator In History is having a big impact on the opinions of the American people. But not in the way his handlers expected.

Support for government run healthcare has fallen off a cliff. In fact, more Americans now want the government to butt out rather than butt in.

Here’s how Gallup.com reports its latest poll:

More Americans now say it is not the federal government’s responsibility to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage (50%) than say it is (47%). This is a first since Gallup began tracking this question, and a significant shift from as recently as three years ago, when two-thirds said ensuring healthcare coverage was the government’s responsibility.

There’s only one thing you can do to save government run healthcare, Mr. Obama:

Begin speaking in favor of it.

It is that problem that the President has promised to change.”

Good for thee, but not for me: Congressional Democrats don’t want to be covered by ObamaCare

Critics of the health care bill said they offered the 11 amendments – including some that would require the president, vice president, and Supreme Court justices to give up their Federal Employees Health Benefit Program (FEHBP) to enroll in the ‘public option’ or Medicaid – to showcase the problems with the massive legislation.

Czar Nicholas. Or maybe a Congressional Democrat. We're not sure which.
Czar Nicholas. Or maybe a Congressional Democrat. We're not sure which.

Life is good for Democrats in Congress. Kind of like life was good for the Russian Czars (not to be confused with the Obama Czars). They pass laws and regulations willy-nilly with nary a thought that those laws and regulations should apply to them.

CNSnews.com reports that, “Critics of the health care bill said they offered the 11 amendments – including some that would require the president, vice president, and Supreme Court justices to give up their Federal Employees Health Benefit Program (FEHBP) to enroll in the ‘public option’ or Medicaid – to showcase the problems with the massive legislation.”

“If Congress forces our constituents into a public option plan over time,” noted Rep. Howard McKeon, a California Republican, “then members of Congress should be expected to do the same.”

“It became apparent then that Democrats are afraid of being put on a government-run health care program,” McKeon added, “but that fear does not extend to the welfare of their own constituents.”

“This is one of those classic hypocritical moments for the Democrats,” said Matt Lavoie, a spokesman for Representative Wally Herger, a California Republican. “They simply don’t want to put up with the public option that they are preparing to inflict on the American public.”

Could this be true? Of course not. Don’t be silly. Nothing could be further from the truth according to Vincent Morris, communications director for the Democrat-controlled House Rules Committee.

“The reason we didn’t support those amendments is because the public option was created precisely to give the American people a choice between private and public [insurance], Morris noted. “Given that all Americans have a choice about whether to join the public option, we thought it didn’t make any sense to force members of Congress to join.”

Bottom line: We’re amazed to see the words “sense” and “Congress” in the same sentence.

President Obama: “No healthcare insurance? Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass go.”

During an interview with ABC News’ Jake Tapper, the President ‘fessed up and said people who try to get a “free ride” the health care system deserve to be penalized. Of course, by “free ride” he meant those who don’t want to buy insurance.

President Obama is playing Monopoly again. Except this time it’s with 1/6 of the American economy.

monopoly go to jail card Sure, he stopped short of calling for jail time, but his hesitance to do so is undoubtedly borne out of an intense desire to avoid yet another conservative firestorm.

“What I think is appropriate,” Obama said, “is that in the same way that everybody has to get auto insurance and if you don’t, you’re subject to some penalty, that in this situation, if you have the ability to buy insurance, it’s affordable and you choose not to do so, forcing you and me and everybody else to subsidize you, you know, there’s a thousand dollar hidden tax that families all across America are — are burdened by because of the fact that people don’t have health insurance, you know, there’s nothing wrong with a penalty.”

The only problem with Obama’s version of Monopoly (let’s call it “Obamanopoly”) is that he’s added one new rule:

If he runs out of money, he just takes a little from all the other players.

bachmann-kill-billWe’re not sure if this qualifies as “news that’s fit to print” for the New York Times, but it’s bound to be on Fox.

According to Politico, at least 10,000 tea partiers showed up to protest government takeover of health care.

With the House of Representatives rapidly approaching a vote on the Democrats’ 2,000-page monstrosity, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) attempted to slow the impending train wreck by enlisting help from constituents. Inspired by the tea party protests, Bachmann instigated a “House Call” to have taxpayers visit their Representatives. Guest speakers included Actor Jon Voight (he’s great and all, but why another actor?) and radio host Mark Levin.

We’re not holding out much hope for news coverage on this story. But if it does get any attention from the media, it’ll mean they found some kook with an Obama-as-Hitler poster. Or they found something racist. Or, conceivably, they just flat-out made up something racist to cast the protesters in the worst possible light.

Take your choice.

Simon Cowell gives $160,000 to save little girl from the ravages of socialized medicine

Stepping in when Britain’s socialized medical system failed, American Idol judge Simon Cowell donated nearly $160,000 to help save the life of a cancer-stricken little girl.

Thanks to the miracle of British socialized medicine, it's been proven that Simon Cowell has a heart

Stepping in when Britain’s socialized medical system failed, American Idol judge Simon Cowell donated nearly $160,000 to help save the life of a cancer-stricken little girl.

This report from London’s Daily Mail tells the story:

The pop Svengali donated the money for 18-month-old Sophie Atay–from Birtley, Gateshead–to fly to the US for pioneering treatment at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York.

He acted after learning the youngster’s family launched a last-ditch appeal for £500,000 to pay for the treatment last week after they were told Sophie was suffering from a rare form of neuroblastoma and needed treatment within days.

Now hold on just a gol-danged minute here. There’s something very fishy about this story.

We all know Great Britain is a paradise where socialized medicine has done away with all sickness. So why does this little English girl have to fly halfway around the world to get medical care in the United States? And for god’s sake, why does a wealthy stranger have to pay for it?

This is obviously a phony story cooked up by evil Republicans in an attempt to keep the United States from having a wonderful socialized medical system like Great Britain.

And we almost fell for it.

The seduction of Olympia Snowe: A story of lust, power, and the lust for power

The New York Times is currently creating merriment with some disingenuous praise concerning Maine’s Republican Senator Olympia Snowe.

This does not appear to be a woman who has been seduced very often
This does not appear to be a woman who has been seduced very often

The New York Times is currently creating merriment with some the most disingenuous praise uttered since, “Gee, you don’t sweat much for a fat girl.”

We’re talking about the left’s wining and dining of Maine’s Republican Senator Olympia Snowe. As the Times remarks, “The significance of the Obama-Snowe relationship lies not in the prospect that the president will replicate it with many, or even any, other Republicans. To achieve his objectives, Ms. Snowe may be the only Republican he needs.”

For her part, Snowe seems quite enamored with the President and “… she offered a surprisingly robust endorsement of Mr. Obama’s skepticism about expanding government too much, his willingness to accommodate different views and his assertion that Washington must act now after decades of failure.”

The Times admitted that Mr. Obama and his team began cultivating Ms. Snowe even before he took office in January. “He’s always eliciting my views,” she said, “wondering, you know, what my concerns are.” How sweet.

Snowe also stated that “she has maintained traditional Republican principles over 30 years in Washington, while her party has moved past them to the right.”
Well, sure, if by traditional Republican principles you mean support for abortion and backing Obama on TARP funds and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Rest assured that the New York Times is like that creepy guy from high school. It will drop Snowe as soon as it gets what it wants from her.

President Obama now making up supportive quotes from imaginary friends

The same guy who made up enough incidents to write two autobiographies by the time he was forty is now making up supportive quotes from imaginary friends.

ABC News’ Jake Tapper reports:

President Obama at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation dinner last night, discussing false claims made about the health care reform bill, told a little anecdote.

“I was up at the G20 — just a little aside — I was up at the G20, and some of you saw those big flags and all the world leaders come in and Michelle and I are shaking hands with them,” the president said. “One of the leaders — I won’t mention who it was — he comes up to me. We take the picture, we go behind.

“He says, ‘Barack, explain to me this health care debate.’

“He says, ‘We don’t understand it. You’re trying to make sure everybody has health care and they’re putting a Hitler mustache on you — I don’t — that doesn’t make sense to me. Explain that to me.'”

Asked who this was, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs would say only “a world leader.”

Yeah, sure. And a world famous super model once told us that IHateTheMedia.com is her favorite website. She says, “IHTM, why aren’t you as large as Drudge? That doesn’t make sense to me. Explain that to me.”

One story is as true as the other. Guaranteed.

Oops. Democrats confirm that you’ll be fined up to $25,000 if you don’t buy ObamaCare insurance

Senator John Ensign read the ObamaCare bill, it requires every American to buy insurance, calls for a $1900 penalty for anyone who doesn’t buy insurance, and then calls for a hefty fine on anyone who doesn’t pay the penalty. Violators could be charged could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty.

John Ensign asked the question and most Americans aren't going to like the answer
John Ensign asked the question and most Americans aren't going to like the answer

This is one of those things that’s so simple we wonder why no one thought of it before.

Democrats deny it, but the way Nevada’s Republican Senator John Ensign read the ObamaCare bill, it requires every American to buy insurance, calls for a $1900 penalty for anyone who doesn’t buy insurance, and then calls for a hefty fine on anyone who doesn’t pay the penalty.

So Ensign solved the disagreement simply by asking Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staff Tom Barthold to confirm his interpretation. Barthold responded with a handwritten note that said:

“Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty.”

It’s a good thing that budget cuts are forcing states to release prisoners early, because they’re going to need the empty cells to house all the ObamaCare debtors.

First black president called “racist” by progressive magazine

Author Toni Morrison may have called Bill Clinton our first black president, but Mellissa Harris-Lacewell, an associate professor of African-American Studies at Princeton, begs to differ. She thinks he may be a racist.

Author Toni Morrison may have called Bill Clinton our first black president, but Mellissa Harris-Lacewell, an associate professor of African-American Studies at Princeton, begs to differ. She thinks he may be a racist.

In a recent article published in the Nation Magazine she takes issues with remarks made by former President Bill Clinton on the Larry King Show.

While on the show, the former President said, “While I have devoted my life to getting rid of racism, I think this [health care] is a fight that my president and our party — this is one we need to win on the merits.” To which Harris-Lacewell remarked, “This statement required a double take. President Clinton said that he has devoted his life to getting rid of racism? And no one challenged this assertion?”

“Clinton used welfare reform and crime legislation to cement his position as a moderate ‘new’ Democrat,” she added. “Clinton’s policies made life substantially more difficult for poor black mothers and led to the incarceration of tens of thousands more black men. Repeatedly during his presidency Clinton found his way to the center by ignoring the material needs of black communities.”

She went on to say America’s First Black President “has a very checkered past involving racial innuendo, stereotypes and racialized political strategies.”

But she may as well have been speaking about America’s Second Black President.
