>> Indeed, the president’s job-approval rating now stands at 50 percent Not according to Gallup which has him hovering around 43-44%. >> Obama leads Romney in a hypothetical general-election match up by six points it could still go either way, but this looks like a Reagan landslide by Romney. Think about it: They've been through a bitter and brutal primary season, and Romney still only trails Obama by six points (nearly within the margin of error)? As the GOP comes together, WHICH IT INEVITABLY WILL, and starts hammering on Obama's failed record, this could well turn into a huge blowout for the GOP. As it should.

Your Tax Dollars Hard At Work: $11 Million Spent To Clothe Two Job-Seekers In Detroit… Nauseating. DETROIT (WWJ/AP) – An audit has found that a portion of an $11 million federal grant intended to provide business attire to 400 low-income job-seekers in Detroit helped only two people. The audit of the city’s Department of Human Services found the department failed to control the operations and finances of a boutique that was to provide clothes, the Detroit News reported. The city’s auditor general conducted the review for the period from July 2009 to September 2011. The center, at 1970 Larned, included the Customer Choice Pantry, the New Beginnings Clothing Boutique and a call center that had the capacity to service 60,000 families in need. The boutique was to provide business attire for low-income residents for job interviews. To receive clothing, residents were required to have a job interview scheduled. According to the audit, the DHS was supposed to help 400 people between October 2010 and September 2011 but instead served only two.
