New York: Barack Obama

You really have to wonder about their sanity when you read liberal press and hear liberal pundits and more pundits reporters when they talk about how dead the Republicans and conservatism is and then actually look at polls.

Obey-Won's approval rating? Toilet:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -14. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President...

Overall, 46% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance.

I know how it goes - even with the down economy you're going to be out at the stores looking at "unbelievable" and "outrageous" deals this Christmas season. And you're going to spend a bit more than you planned - after all, you're going to efile in January and have your refund in time to pay off the credit card balances, right?

Just bear in mind that the IRS is going to be coming after some of you next year for that "tax cut" that Obama "gave you".
More than 15 million taxpayers could unexpectedly owe taxes when they file their federal returns next spring because the government was too generous with their new Making Work Pay tax credit.

OK, so Obama gets into office and immediately sets up a group to make suggestions on what to do about Afghanistan. They give recommendations. Obama puts "his guy" in charge, Gen. McChrystal. This is roundly applauded as McChrystal is widely acknowledged as a guy that knows how to do what must be done. McChrystal tells Obama he needs tens of thousands more troops, a surge, to quell rising violence and protect the populace.

Obama commences weeks, months of dithering. The attacks from the right heat up as the attacks on our troops heat up in Afghanistan. They culminate in comments from Dick Cheney who basically tells Obama to stop screwing with our troops, follow the plan that was given to him by the people that he asked to give him a plan, and stop screwing around.

Nothing like a Simpsons' quote* to enliven the train wreck that is the Democratic leadership. I just passed along how the Democrats are trying to grab full control over our economic system (forget about health care's 17%!) by putting the government in charge of basically everything about companies - what they can borrow, what they can sell, what they can lend, what they can pay, what they can do, who they can talk to, what they can have for lunch, what color shirts they can wear...

The important takeaway from that story is that they basically want to take the worst parts of the Fannie/Freddie situation, extend them to the rest of the economy, and make them permanent.
