Obama holds upper hand in
budget, immigration fights,
poll shows

Los Angeles Times, by David Lauter

WASHINGTON -President Obama goes into a busy spring of legislative battles holding the upper hand over congressional Republicans on key issues, a newly released poll shows. In the fight over automatic spending cuts that are scheduled to begin March 1, Obama has a dual advantage: Almost half of Americans surveyed said they would blame the GOP if the cuts took place, compared with fewer than one-third who said they would blame Obama. Moreover, an overwhelming majority, 79%, say that additional tax increases should be part of any new deficit reduction deal, compared with only 19% who side with

That 51% has not yet reached the limits of their stupidity!

Just because idiocy reigns doesn´t mean we should all become idiots.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to detect the difference between many of today´s "Americans" and the French, so, think of them as the Degradest Generation.
Such Americans surely are not worth the sacrifices made by those who are buried in Arlington.

All the polling coming out now just to promote Obama´s madness. Who are these pollsters? Who are they calling? I won´t answer the phone when I see "private caller" or numbers I don´t recognize. So I´m not answering any polls. What´s left? The lo-info voters are watching and slobbering over BHO, that´s who is filling the polling data.

They´re just making it up.

National across the board polls relating to what Congress is doing, or may or may not do are usually bogus, as when you are talking about congressional politics which is always local, you have to take into consideration what constituents in each of the 50 states want their US Senators to do or not do, and what the constituents of each of the 435 congressional districts want their congressional representatives to do or not do.

So a national poll that is taken mainly on the East and West coasts is completely irrelevant to what senators and congressional representatives from say Texas are expected to do by their constituents in Texas, and that what really counts to those politicians.

"Moreover, an overwhelming majority, 79%, say that additional tax increases should be part of any new deficit reduction deal"

When was the last time 79% of Americans agreed on anything?

This is all propaganda.

Well, since last November´s polling showed exactly the same thing, it´s hard to dispute the results of this poll. The American electorate is drifting farther and farther to the left. Things look to get a whole lot worse before they get better.

It is my understanding that less than a third of the colonialists pushed for, fought, and won the American Revolution of Independence, along with much help from the French. It can be done again.

I suggest that 79% of 1,504 adults polled who say they want tax increases give themselves one. When they fill out their 1040s this year, don´t take any deductions, give themselves the tax increase they say would be good for the nation and for Barry.

79% in favor of tax increases...on the other 21%.

´´Upper hand,´´ or, ´clinched fist?´

´Big Brother,´ 0bama is as THE bully kicking up the sand in the beltway sandbox. Congress is the tiny timid creature hiding over in the corner, while the Judicial Branch is snoozing back in class. ...The dems´ media has gone to get more buckets of sand for Big Brother. And, ´Teach,´ oblivious to the surrounding rule-breakers, is day dreaming about vacation or something-or-other.

He gave $250 to Obama´s U.S. Senate campaign in 2003, a year before Obama, then an Illinois state senator, emerged on the nation´s political radar, according to campaign finance records.

Federal investigators apparently accessed records of calls to and from a phone number at Fox News Channel in their leak investigation of a former State Department contractor, according to a court document. News of the government´s search of Fox News phone records comes after controversy broke out last week over a separate leak investigation in which prosecutors seized the call details of roughly 20 phone numbers of reporters and editors at the Associated Press. Former government contractor Stephen Kim has been charged in federal court with leaking an intelligence report about North Korea in 2009

Vice President Joe Biden ribbed President Obama over his teleprompter use at a Jewish American Heritage Month reception in New York City on Tuesday.Biden asked that the teleprompter in the room be taken down before his address, according to the pool report. “You can’t tell Barack that the teleprompter’s down,” Biden said. “The standing joke in the office is Barack’s learning to speak without a teleprompter, I’m learning to speak with one. I apologize for the teleprompter.” Republicans have long criticized President Obama for his reliance on a teleprompter, often needling him for reading from prepared remarks rather than

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?

U.S. Sen. John McCain bucked the party line coming from many of his fellow conservatives this morning, saying suggestions that compare the trio of scandals gripping the White House to Watergate are “overreaching.” “I think it’s overreaching. We need a full and complete investigation and then we will decide the dimensions of it,” said McCain while campaigning for Republican Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez in Dorchester. “It is terrible but we have to have a full investigation before we leap to conclusions.” The maverick’s caution is a sharp contrast to the response of many Republicans
