Just for you Mr Proud: Barack Obama’s sinking leadership: half of Americans believe the Founding Fathers would see the US today as a failure A new Rasmussen poll shows just how disillusioned Americans have become with the direction of their own country, over four and a half years since President Obama took office. According to Rasmussen, barely a third of US voters think the nation’s Founding Fathers would view the United States as a success today. 49 percent think the opposite: There is a considerable ideological divide between Republicans and Democrats in how they respond to this question, though even among Democrats just over half deliver a positive answer: Fifty-one percent (51%) of Democrats think the Founding Fathers would consider the United States a success. Sixty-two percent (62%) of Republicans and 55% of those not affiliated with either major party believe the Founding Fathers would view America as a failure. Significantly, the Rasmussen survey shows strong distrust of the federal government, whose powers have risen significantly since the Obama administration took office: It will be hard for the White House to dismiss these findings as anything other than a resounding vote of no confidence in President Obama’s leadership from half the country. A Gallup poll released in July, asking a similar question, was just as bad, with 71 percent of Americans saying the Founding Fathers “would be disappointed” with “the way the United States has turned out,” up from 50 percent in 2004, and around 60 percent in 2009. blogs.telegraph.co.uk

Just for you, Mr Proud: President Obama throws a tantrum at press conference – compares his opponents to hostage-takers and deadbeats I’ve just watched Barack Obama’s press conference at the White House, where the president has been talking about the government shutdown and the possibility of a US default over the debt ceiling. It wasn’t a pretty sight. The most powerful man on earth, the leader of the free world, lashed out at conservatives in Congress (whom he labeled as “extremists”), accusing them of “ransom” and “extortion,” even comparing them to a “deadbeat” who doesn’t pay the mortgage. This was a childish, as well as unpleasant, display of petulance by Mr. Obama, who treats elected officials as though they were puppets who should dance to his tune. It was followed by an embarrassing set of hand-picked questions from a largely subservient liberal-dominated media, none of which seriously challenged the president’s policies or his handling of the shutdown. In the UK, a British prime minister would never get away with this kind of performance without a barrage of relentlessly tough questioning. Barack Obama’s approach today was imperial in style, both arrogant and condescending, and deeply partisan in outlook. There was not a hint of humility on show from the president, against a backdrop of declining poll numbers and mounting disillusionment with his presidency. The United States is facing the prospect of a default overwhelmingly because of Obama’s big spending, big government programmes, which have added a staggering $6 trillion to the national debt. The shutdown has been prompted by the imposition of a hugely unpopular health care reform, forced on the American people despite the fact that the Democrats no longer control the House of Representatives. This is a president who is incapable of taking responsibility for his own actions, who refuses to listen to any criticism of his policies, and is more willing to negotiate with a state sponsor of terrorism in Tehran than sit down with Republicans in Congress.

Just for you, Mr Commie: We Are All Tea Partiers Now: Americans Say No to Debt Ceiling Increase A new Fox News poll shows that a majority of American voters--58 percent--would vote "no" on raising the debt ceiling. Only 37 percent of American voters would vote to raise the debt ceiling. An even bigger majority--62 percent--would only vote to raise the debt ceiling after "major cuts in government spending." Only one in four Americans--27 percent--says that it would be "reckless" even to debate not raising the debt ceiling. The poll, conducted by a bipartisan team of polling firms surveying 952 registered voters on land lines and cell phones, was conducted on Oct. 1 and Oct. 2. The margin of error is 3 percent. The striking results of the poll indicate that most Americans are in line with the Tea Party position on the debt ceiling than with the politicians and pundits in Washington who routinely slam fiscal conservatives and the very idea of spending restraint. Other results from the poll include that more Americans think the sequester cuts were good (48 percent) than bad (39 percent), despite attempts by the Obama administration and the Democrats to maximize perceptions that the cuts were harming the economy. Speaker of the House John Boehner has already pledged to avoid default--though his plan includes using the Full Faith and Credit Act to prioritize debt payments, which Democrats reject. - See more at: breitbart.com
