Cratering
Obama's poll numbers are cratering. Gallup buries the lede in its latest polling on health care, the Browning of Massachusetts, and Barack Obama's performance in the first year. They headline the fact that 55% of Americans want Congress to suspend work on ObamaCare while only 39% want Congress to continue. That's not exactly news; it's about the same split in support Rasmussen has seen among likely voters for weeks now, and Gallup just confirms that ObamaCare has the same level of support in the general adult population.Well OK. Things could be worse. And by golly they are. Obama's proposed new rules for banks have cratered banking stocks. NEW YORK (AP) - Stocks are set to extend their slide Friday, following the worst two-day stretch the market has seen since June.There is that word cratering. And not only has he cratered the American markets. He has cratered the Asian and European markets as well. The man is a genius. The Smartest President Ever™ Well on to more of the same. Employment is cratering according to a Progressive site. The latest US nonfarm payroll report provides more confirmation. Although the headline number was a modestly anemic -85,000, Rosenberg called it "horrible" because its details showed consistent weakness. As a result, he estimates a more accurate "465,000" December decline, based on what's occurring at the small company level "where the trend in orders, output, sales and employment" has been dismal.Oh. Yeah. Let me give you the title of that progressive piece. Cheery news that. Well it is only January, 2010. Two Years 11 months 4 weeks and 0 days to go. I can hardly wait. But back to happier days and the words of FDR's Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau: "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and now if I am wrong somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosper. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. I say after eight years of this administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started. And enormous debt to boot."Well there is one good thing. I don't believe Obama has eight years. And with the way he is going he will be lucky to get his almost three more. Cross Posted at Power and Control posted by Simon on 01.22.10 at 02:49 PM

gbbeard, Not only have I read my Russian history. My #2 son is a student in the Russian language and has plans to make his second visit to the country in the coming year. I don't think the American Kulaks will go down as easily as the Russian ones. M. Simon · January 24, 2010 03:41 AM Post a comment

There is nothing new. Destroy the productive class and the rest will follow.
