President Tarball's Support Is Tanking (Down to 39%)

As President Obama grapples with the weak economy, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and a military reshuffling in Afghanistan, his ratings seem to be heading towards an all-time low, according to a new poll. A survey conducted by Harris Interactive found that in June only 39 percent of Americans approved of Obama’s overall job performance, while 61 percent gave him negative marks. This is a worse result than last month, when 42 percent gave him positive marks, and 58 percent did not approve. What is more, it appears that the president may be losing support from his base as three in 10 Democrats and Liberals (29 and 20 percent, respectively) are now critical of how he’s ...

LAS VEGAS - The woman hoping to defeat U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was in Las Vegas on Wednesday. Republican U.S. Senate nominee Sharron Angle appeared on conservative host Alan Stock's radio program. During her radio interview, Angle defended her stance on many issues. She also took several questions from callers. One of the callers asked if she would have intervened on behalf of MGM Resorts' CityCenter complex the way Senator Reid did. In 2009, CityCenter experienced financial struggles during its construction. The project's bankruptcy appeared imminent. Reid called several banks on MGM Resorts' behalf, and the project averted bankruptcy. Sharron Angle told ...

We reported yesterday about the Army Corps of Engineers rejection of a plan by Louisiana’s Jefferson Parish to block oil from entering the Barataria Bay. Outrage has been growing over that decision, buoyed by news that oil has reached nearby Lake Pontchartrain. According to a reports, responders retrieved roughly 1,000 pounds of “tar balls and waste” from the waters. Not only are locals upset by the rejection–a shock after initially offering support for the measure–but there is increasing concern that the government has no alternative plan in place: “One of the things that really gets me is they didn’t offer us an alternative plan and they didn’t ...

Obama Supports Black Racists Who Want to Kill White Babies

Welcome to the Era of Obama, where it’s perfectly acceptable to intimidate white voters, threaten to kill white babies, and to stomp on white American’s civil liberties; yet it’s considered illegal for the sovereign state of Arizona to protect it’s borders and to uphold existing immigration laws. So what does Obama’s commie infested Department of Justice do under the leadership of AG Comrade Eric Holder? They file a lawsuit against Arizona for upholding the rule law and turn a blind eye to these racist dirtbags who have trampled on our civil rights and the rule of law.

J. Christian Adams, a former Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney, is blowing his we-the-people whistle on DOJ (Devils Oblivious to Justice) after it dropped all charges against the members of the New Black Panther Klan who were blatantly and irrefutably guilty of voter intimidation in Philadelphia in 2008. The egregious, craven tactics of the New Black Panther Party Klan were caught on video. One of the racist punks is carrying a pipe or stick of some type with the clear intent of intimidating voters attempting to enter the Philadelphia voting location. Dumb power, baby. The facts about the New Black Panther Klan and its voter-intimidation tactics are very alarming - not surprising, but ...
Positions meet practicality for Tea Party candidates

(CNN) -- The handful of Tea Party-backed candidates who've had successful primary wins now face an ideological dilemma -- and potential backlash -- as they retool for a general election campaign. Do they stick to their far-right agenda and trust that their conservative credentials will carry them to victory in November, or do they move ahead with a more mainstream, politically expedient message? "The old, cynical conventional wisdom in politics is that in the Republican Party, you run to the right to win the nomination and then you run to the center to win the general election, and the opposite is true for the Democratic Party," said John Avlon, author of "Wingnuts: How ...
Russian bomber incursions

Russian bomber incursions Russia is continuing to fly strategic nuclear bombers near U.S. and Canadian airspace because the Russian military is seeking to maintain "the illusion of power," the commander of the U.S. Northern Command says. Adm. James A. Winnefeld Jr., who took over U.S. Northern Command in May, said in an interview that beginning a couple of years ago, Russian strategic aviation forces began stepping up training flights of nuclear-capable Tu-95 Bear bombers near or through U.S. and Canadian airspace. "In some cases, this is about the illusion of power, where power is not quite there," said Adm. Winnefeld, commander of the Colorado Springs-based ...

Democratic senator's lead shrinks in California: poll Wed, Jul 7 2010 By Dan Whitcomb LOS ANGELES | Thu Jul 8, 2010 9:02am EDT LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer's edge over Republican challenger Carly Fiorina has dwindled to 3 points as she seeks re-election in November, with more Californians now holding an unfavorable view of the three-term senator, a poll released on Thursday showed. Boxer, who once held a 30-point lead over Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett Packard and a political novice, is now ahead by a margin of only 47 percent to 44 percent, the Field Poll found. One of President Barack Obama's staunchest allies who has become a powerful ...

BP Pushing to Stop Gulf Leak Weeks Early Published July 08, 2010 | The Wall Street Journal BP PLC is pushing to fix its runaway Gulf oil well by July 27, possibly weeks before the deadline the company is discussing publicly, in a bid to show investors it has capped its ballooning financial liabilities, according to company officials. At the same time, BP is readying a series of backup plans in case its current operations go awry. These include connecting the rogue well to existing pipelines in two nearby underwater gas and oil fields, according to company and administration officials. Much of the additional planning has been pushed by the U.S. government, which has urged BP to develop ...

Despite the DeMarxists headlong rush to oblivion in November, we cannot count on our Republican leadership not to blow it. They need to show something that has been sadly missing thus far, in my opinion… leadership. To date, they’ve failed in the first big test of whether they have the intestinal fortitude to be the majority in 2011. Elena Kagan should have been stonewalled out the gate. She has zero qualification for the Supreme Court. She’s an Obama creation. A political hack. A statist mouthpiece. Did the Republican leadership stand as one and say ‘hell no’? Of course not. They went immediately into accommodation mode, giving Kagan all the wiggle room she ...
Wrong-Headed Romney

In 35 years of following debates over nuclear arms control, I have never seen anything quite as shabby, misleading and—let's not mince words—thoroughly ignorant as Mitt Romney's attack on the New START treaty in the July 6 Washington Post. Senate Republicans are looking for some grounds—any grounds—to defeat this treaty, which was signed in April by President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart, Dmitri Medvedev, and which will soon come to the Senate floor for a vote. Romney, the former Republican governor of Massachusetts, clearly feels the need to pump up some foreign-policy swagger in advance of the 2012 presidential primaries. But one would think he ...

Run! Vitter Dodges Reporters' Questions On Aide Who Resigned Over Assault Case

Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) had a really tough time with reporters today, who peppered him with questions about a former aide, Brent Furer, who recently resigned as a result of 2008 criminal charges for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend with a knife. Vitter's been staying out of the public eye since the charges surfaced a couple weeks ago -- along with the revelation that Vitter had not only kept Furer on his staff, but had reportedly also tapped him to handle women's issues. But today Vitter made a public appearance to formally file his reelection papers. And he did not get a free pass from the press. The Louisiana Democrats sent us this transcript, from a tracker video that they ...
Undecideds in Ohio

The Ohio Senate race is shaping up as one of the closest in the country for this fall, and one thing that is particularly interesting about it is how many undecideds there are. With neither candidate all that well known, 22% of voters have not yet decided who to vote for. A look at who those undecideds are tells a story of folks who are mad at both the Democrats and Republicans in Washington- and whose undecided status may be a reflection of their not knowing who they should be madder at. 52% of the undecideds in the Senate race disapprove of President Obama to 35% who like the job he's doing. They don't think much of the Democrats in Congress either- only 26% have a like the job ...
Okla., S.C., Utah could pass Ariz.-style anti-immigration laws

Attention is focused on the federal government's decision to challenge Arizona's strict anti-immigration law, but three other states could pass similar legislation next year. Oklahoma, South Carolina and Utah have each taken steps against illegal immigration, and politicians in the three states are advocating further measures when their legislatures reconvene early next year. The Obama administration sued Arizona in federal court Tuesday, charging that the state law usurps federal authority, would hamper immigration enforcement and would lead to police harassment of those without proof of lawful status. Lawmakers in at least 17 states drew up bills this year similar to ...

U.S. retailers’ sales are growing at the fastest pace in four years, a sign consumers may be overcoming concern about unemployment and depressed home values. Sales probably expanded at an average monthly rate of 4 percent in the first five months of the retail fiscal year that began Jan. 31, the biggest gain since 2006, the International Council of Shopping Centers trade group said in advance of its June report tomorrow. Nordstrom Inc. and Kohl’s Corp. are among chains that will report June sales increases at stores open at least a year, according to analysts’ estimates. Retailers may have bucked last month’s drop in consumer confidence that threatens to temper the ...

NEW YORK—U.S. stocks surged on Wednesday, pushing the Dow Jones Industrial Average through the 10000 mark as the close approached, as investors grew hopeful for the approaching corporate- earnings season, while the release of details on European bank stress tests removed some uncertainty. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 257 points, or 2.6%, to 10001 with less than 15 minutes to go in the trading day, with all 30 components in the black. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index added 2.9% to 1058. The measures will extend Tuesday's gains, bouncing back from a rough losing streak last week that sent stocks to their lowest point this year. Stocks have been weighed by ...
The harassment of Sarah Palin

It took one year, two independent counsels, and tens of thousands of Alaska taxpayer dollars to conclude that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin did nothing wrong in connection with a legal defense fund created to pay legal fees resulting from allegations related to her service as governor. Indeed, the story of the endless harassment of Sarah Palin is incredible. As background, in August 2008, GOP Presidential nominee Senator John McCain shocked the political world when he selected then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate. Her selection triggered an avalanche of meritless “ethics complaints.” Unfortunately, the choices for dealing with such politically ...
Why isn't the media covering the paramilitary aspect of the Black Panther case?

Why isn't the media covering the paramilitary aspect of the Black Panther case? Russ Vaughn Why, in all the media coverage of the Black Panther voting intimidation case, is no one, and I mean absolutely no one, even in the conservative media, addressing the paramilitary aspect of this issue, where jackbooted, black thugs wearing leather jackets and badge-adorned, black berets, obviously intend to communicate through their uniform appearances a menacing solidarity of purpose? Does not the wearing of those uniforms imply the ominous and looming presence of a more widespread and more frightening paramilitary organization to the voters of that precinct? And there is little doubt, upon ...

Democrat Baucus joins GOP in blasting Obama recess appointment By Mike Lillis - 07/07/10 11:40 AM ET Echoing Republicans, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) on Wednesday blasted the Obama administration for sidestepping Congress to install Donald Berwick atop the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). "Senate confirmation of presidential appointees is an essential process prescribed by the Constitution that serves as a check on executive power and protects Montanans and all Americans by ensuring that crucial questions are asked of the nominee — and answered," Baucus said in a statement. Berwick had not been vetted by the Finance panel, nor ...

Lesson Learned?: When Touting Iraq War Success, Biden now Gives Bush Credit Vice President Joe Biden gave some credit to former President George W. Bush Monday, in a rare nod to a man Biden and other officials in the Obama White House have continually bashed, signaling a possible change in the White House’s public statements, at least about war strategy. Biden was in Iraq over the Fourth of July weekend and said that the American people will be able to see Obama’s Iraq policy as successful. He added the White House “will be able to point to it and say, ‘We told you what we’re going to do, and we did it,’” Biden said in an interview with Politico Monday. ...
