Ken "Walker has a 52% disapproval rate." That sounds familiar. Where do I sign to recall this guy? WASHINGTON – A majority of Americans think President Obama should be voted out of office next year, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. The poll contained troubling signs for the incumbent as he prepares for a grueling reelection campaign. While Americans were evenly divided on whether they expect the president to earn a second term, most of those polled said he does not deserve one. For the first time, the poll found that a majority of adults, 52 percent, said Obama should be voted out of office while 43 percent said he deserves another term Obama's overall job approval stands at a new low: 44 percent approve while 54 percent disapprove. The president's standing among independents is worse: 38 percent approve while 59 percent disapprove. Among Democrats, the president holds steady with an approval rating of 78 percent while only 12 percent of Republicans approve of the job he's doing. Obama's overall poll numbers suggest he is in jeopardy of losing, even as the public's outlook on the economy appears to be improving. For the first time since spring, more said the economy got better in the past month than said it got worse. The president's approval rating on unemployment shifted upward -- from 40 percent in October to 45 percent in the latest poll -- as the jobless rate fell to 8.6 percent last month, its lowest level since March 2009. But Obama's approval rating on his handling of the economy overall remains stagnant: 39 percent approve and 60 percent disapprove. foxnews.com

Ooops.....looks like the union thug inspired recall of Walker could have some unintended consequences when it goes down to defeat..... Scott Walker has raised $5.1 million to fight his recall... so who will oppose him? Let's assume the signature-gatherers hit the mark and trigger a recall. Walker can only be removed if the Democrats come up with an opponent who beats him in the recall election. What are they going to use for money? But the Democratic Party reported raising just under $1.2 million between July 1 and Dec. 10 to support its own role in the recall attempt. It has $360,000 in cash on hand. Meanwhile, Walker is still raking money in, and under state law there is no limit on donations, and some people are handing him checks in excess of $200,000. This money will flood into an immense advertising campaign next year. Next year, when all the presidential candidates are trying to get attention and when there's a Senate race here in Wisconsin. Walker will continue to collect donations and spend it freely to promote the conservative agenda in Wisconsin, lending collateral assistance to the Republican candidates in the other 2012 elections. (And candidates in the regular elections have limits on the amounts donors can give them.) Wisconsin is a key swing state in the presidential election. And Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Herb Kohl could be the one that tips the Senate Republican. The Walker recall could spell nationwide disaster for Democrats. althouse.blogspot.com

The question then becomes are the signatures real or are they mostly forgeries like the fake signatures in indiana to put barry on the ballot?

Kenneth, I do know that Walker has a 52% disapproval rate and they have now collected almost enough signatures for a recall \vote. If Walker is recalled this will be a tremendous shock to the Extreme Right of the Republican Party. It will permeate throughout the entire nation and be a motivation for all the governmental employees (Feds, State, Counties, Cities and school districts), cultures, individuals with different lifestyles, along with their families to get out and vote in the November, 2012 elections. We then could have a complete reversal of the 2010 elections. I hope that Newt gets the Republican nomination with the way he sticks his foot in his mouth. It would be fun to be the opposition staff person doing the "campaign candidate research" on Newt. I bet the Obama's campaign has spoken with all the enemies that Newt has made in his life and maybe even with photo's. One of the methods organizers use it to get leads from a persons enemy and then verify the accuracy of the information. Then, place in on U-tube, facebook, twitter, etc. for the media to pick it up in the mainline press. Everyone has enemies, even ourselves, who are willing to disclose information. I still do not know why anyone wants to go through the election process and have all the complete personal information of ones life to come to the surface. The question, I always ask myself, "who do you want to be in the executive of of President taking that 3:00 AM call like President Kennedy did during the Cuba conflict with Russia." I prefer a problem-solver rather than a "gunslinger" as President. I do not perceive that Newt has those problem-solving qualities. But, he has the most political garbage making is easier to defeat. Romney, appears to be minister cool!
