u necks sit by and let a “war evader”run this country into the ground..
its bush’s fault we are in this mess,and president obama is the man to lead us out of it..

i don’t care if his numbers go down to 1 percent and that 1 percent would be me,he is still the best man for this job..

he and his wife are the best example of what parents should be,and how they raise they’re kids are better than the drunken,have sex with his sister necks that just left the white house..

and liz cheney is sure to be found out to be her dads girlfriend when all is said and done..

but its typical..
its typical how the southern hicks act when a well educated brother who got where he is without afirmative action,and how the mighty whitey of a former president went thru the white mans afirmative action and got his self excused from the war..

you let bush drag you into the mud and drown you but u fuss at obama when he pulls u out and u argue that u are wet!!!

go in the bedroom,and make love to your brother/sister..

Contradiction: “Blumenthal believes the decline is notable but perhaps not as significant as others have claimed. But he also thinks it is likely to continue…”

Ending up with no support IS significant. Obama, please resign before you are impeached for your dissembling stupidity.

The reason for BHOs poll popularity is racial. Early in the presidential run up, the race card came out. More accurately, the penalties of being labeled a racist were re-exposed. Everyone knows them. We have all seen the media lynchings when a white person treds improperly. The media has kept the rules and qualifications for being a racist purposely nebulous so they may convict a person at will. The media deosn’t know the borders/rules for indictment either which partially explains the love affair with BHO. The don’t want to inadvertantly be indicted. So when a pollster polls, and asks the subject if they support BHO, the subject suspects if they do not answer affirmatively, the next question will contain race as the topic. Such as: OH! WHy? Are you a racist? This phenomena, IMO artificially drives BHOs pool numbers up. The most recent trends that show a decline are the result of people losing their livelihoods and discovering that BHO sold them a bag of magic beans and he is advancing programs that will further harm them. When all is lost – being labeled a racist is lesser concern.

70% of businesses have no employees and account for 3.5% of receipts:

Economic Census

The Economic Census profiles American business every 5 years, from the national to the local level.

In 2002, there were nearly 25 million business establishments in the U.S. Over 7 million of these had paid employees, and accounted for 96.5 percent of business receipts. These are the businesses that are included in most Economic Census reports. In addition, there were over 17 million businesses with no payroll, mostly self-employed persons. Data on these nonemployers are included in Nonemployer Statistics and the Survey of Business Owners only.

What surprised me when the credit crunch hit was how many businesses had to borrow to meet payroll.

Obama’s accountable. He’s the president. He inherited a large deficit and decided to go ahead and spend more. He obviously hasnt’ learned or paid any attention to history or looked carefully at the work of Milton Friedman, who predicted this situation and who provided the principles and applied economic theory that led the US out of a terrible stagflation to the most flourishing economy in history. Small business owners have lead all recoveries out of the last 7 recessions by creating 2 out of 3 new jobs. 70% of the GDP is controlled by consumer spending and most of that is by new job creation. Until someone cuts government spending, cuts taxes (flat tax of 15% wouls be great), there will far less disposable income for anyone to invest or spend. If its wrong for a normal citizen to be say, a $1 million in debt, then why is it appropriate for a government to plunge even further into debt? The Chinese are laughing at taking on more debt from the US. Look at their economy. Bush screwed up by keeping up the spend rate by government on his watch and by fighting a stupid war. Obama is exponentially making it worse by laying a brick on the accelerator by increasing government spend, taxes, taking over car companies, and the like. So far, Obama is showing real incompetence in economic policy and decision making, and he needs to turn it around fast.

Jay, if you’re still watching the comments here, this is an interesting take on the Gallup numbers vs. Obama’s vote demographics:

“Never. Now ask me how much the job I have depends on “poor” people to buy my company’s goods and services.”

OK, how much does your job depend on the “poor” people that buy your company’s goods?

Once you answer that, please explain from where the “poor” people got their jobs to earn their money to pay for your goods. Did it trickle up from other “poor” people or trickle down from a rich person?

Once you answer that, explain from whom the “poor” people get the jobs they have to afford your goods and services…Did their paycheck trickle up from other “poor” people or trickle down from a rich person?
