Polling for the 2012 Presidential race can not only be confusing but misleading. Polling as used by media outlets today can have a direct impact influencing how theelectorate votes. I would never trust an NBC poll for example. They can skew results anyway they choose simply by the demographics they use in their samples as well as the way they ask questions. Any NBC poll has only one goal: to re-elect Obama.
The most accurate polling organization historically has been Rasmussen. They were frightenly accurate with the Obama/McCain race. Even Rasmussen might be misleading with their current polling of important swing states.
In Ohio they report the following, “President Obama runs slightly ahead of Mitt Romney and dead even with Rick Santorum in Rasmussen Reports’ first Election 2012 look at the key battleground state of Ohio. A new telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds Obama earning 45% support to Romney’s 41%. Ten percent (10%) like some other candidate in the race, and four percent (4%) remain undecided.”
Scary, huh? But the key numbers are those not showing a preference for either candidate. First, it is only logical the large 10% preferring another candidate do not want another Democrat. Clearly most of these will vote Republican as they prefer Santorum, Gingrich, or maybe even someone like Chris Christie. Secondly Dick Morris’ studies have shown the “undecided” will go at least 80/20 against the incumbent. Making these adjustments Romney takes a lead of at least 52% to Obama’s 48% in Ohio.
In Virginia, “The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Virginia Voters shows Obama drawing 49% support to Romney's 43%. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate in the race, while three percent (3%) are undecided.
Applying the same adjustments the race narrows to an Obama lead of no more than 51% to Romney’s 49% or a race that is within the margin of error.
Lastly in Florida, “Obama is essentially even with Santorum in the Sunshine State but leads Romney by three points. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Florida shows Obama earning 47% support to Santorum's 46%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) remain undecided. With adjustments made Santorum leads Obama 52%-48%. Obama and Romney are too close to call and in the margin of error.
If Obama is in trouble in these swing states with the Republican Candidates pounding on each other on a daily basis just think what will happen if we can just settle on a candidate. Above all, don't let the stupid polls get you down. Even the unbiased polls can be misleading.
Think about November,

Obama's Budget Is The Work of A Saboteur
Butch Jackson is doubling down on his claim that Barrack Hussein Obama is an anti-colonialist who has a diabolical plan to drain the strength of the United States of America and return it to those underprivileged folks that this country has robbed. Those underprivileged being both weak countries around the world and those he deems to be underprivileged classes of people inside this country.
Butch came roaring into the Hubbard City Cafe for coffee waiving the President's budget that was released last week in one hand and his ball cap in the other, "Numbers don't lie. Obama's budget is a detailed plan to destroy our country. The budget calls for adding $1.3 Trillion to the deficit this year and $11 Trillion over the next 10 years to go on top of the near $16 Trillion that is currently owed by our children and grandchildren."
"Obama's verbiage spews, 'A reduction in the deficit of $4 Trillion and a balanced approach of a fair tax on the rich and spending cuts. The truth is in the big picture numbers. In 2012 the budget calls for spending $3.8 Trillion with revenues of $2.5 Trillion for a huge deficit of $1.33 meaning for every $2 the government takes from taxpayer it will borrow another $1 to pay its bills. The liar in chief then claims that he will increase taxes by 16% in the name of fairness and the economy growth rate will more than double in 2013 to over 4% bringing the deficit down to ONLY $900 Billion. No way these projections are anything but BS."
"The details are a farce meaning the real deficit will be even higher, if you can imagine. Specifics worth noting is Obama wants to raise taxes on every tax payer over $200,000 knowing this would severely impact the nation's anemic growth rate if passed reducing tax collections (particularly from small business owners). He also knows Republicans will never agree to these increases, a fact he will use to blame them for the deficit. The only cuts in Medicare or Social Security is a $300 Billion cut to health 'providers' which is a form of rationing. Folks are saying 'don't worry this budget will not pass and is only a campaign document for his re-election'. There is extreme danger in taking this attitude. This will be the 4th year the Democratic Senate and the President have not passed a budget. Meanwhile they are completely destroying the nation by running up these huge deficits. The O-Bomber in chief IS DESTROYING THE COUNTRY BY SKILLFULLY CREATING A LEGISLATIVE IMPASSE AS DEFICITS CONTINUE TO GOBBLE AWAY AT OUR NATION'S ECONOMIC LEADERSHIP. If voters do not insist on a candidate that will reverse our spending addictions and get the economy growing at rates greater than 2% this nation is toast."
"Look at where he wants to spend more in 2012. It is all about more regulations to choke the economy. 60% more spending on pipeline safety. 20% more on regulating Securities and Exchange. 50% more spending on Futures Trading. Look at what he will cut: Defense, Homeland Security, NASA, and agriculture. The biggest cut? 70% cut by Holder at the Justice Department in reimbursing state and local law enforcement for jailing illegals which is the Fed's responsibility."
"Butch your work exposing his tactics and goals appear to be right on. I looked at health care. He painted two extremes. One is that, 'There are those who want to do nothing allowing costs to continue to rise and insurance companies to not offer coverage to sick people'. "Others want the government to take over health care with a single payer system'. He then lays out his Obamacare claims that will cover everyone while reducing every one's costs and force mean insurance companies to cover sick people. This is another of Obama's extreme compromises that gives the federal government control of the health care industry driving insurance companies out of business so the government can come to our rescue as it becomes a single payer in phase 2. This is right out of the Obama play book to destroy the greatest health care system in the world and weaken our nation."
"Speaking of oil, the Obama tactics are the same. 'Some would continue making us dependent on unreliable foreign sources of energy by buying oil from the Middle East and letting the Chinese develop tomorrow's sources of clean energy, solar and wind. Others would place all bets on solar and wind. I am for a balanced approach. Explore, produce, and manufacture fossil fuels in a well planned approach that doesn't pollute our world while making the INVESTMENTS in clean energy'. Sounds great doesn't it. But what are his actions? They are destructive and way extreme. He first banned off shore drilling at greater than 500 feet depths. When a judge over ruled this ridiculous regulation, Obama changed the ban to drilling from floating platforms. Meanwhile as he blocks every way possible our efforts to produce oil, gas, and coal to become self sufficient from foreign sources, Obama gives Brazil $2 Billion to finance off shore drilling with nothing in the deal to share in the production. And of course he blocks the pipeline from Canada knowing the oil will go to China. Same formula in presenting ridiculously extreme options that no sane person would agree with and offering as a compromise of an extreme solution that weakens our country and punishes our citizens. Meanwhile he privately rejoices as gasoline prices go up in his hopes if they get high enough his green energy might become economically feasible. He has worked to double gasoline prices since he has been in office. Treason doesn't get any worse than this. It has to be on purpose. No one could be this stupid."
Well, that is what happened on this day at the cafe. I don't agree with Billy Roy when he says no one could be this stupid. Obama voters are!! Rasmussen says on this very day this would include 49% of likely voters. What a shame. The underprivileged that Obama claims to help will suffer the most as this nation decays. They do in any socialist (or anti-colonial) takeover.
Think about it.

Obama Skunks USA in a 7-0 Route
The folks at the Cafe are big baseball fans probably because one of the greatest players of all time, Tris Speaker, comes from Hubbard. This love of baseball seems to make the guys want to keep score on almost everything. It appears nothing hurts our current President more than keeping score. He and the press have their little act down pat to explain away any kind of performance scoring. They send out messages like, "Everybody under-estimated just how bad George Bush's recession was and what a deep hole it put this nation in. Even though we have done a lot to stimulate recovery, there is a lot more to do (like re-electing Obama)."
Well it appears Butch Jackson has the goods on Obama no matter how much he and the media cook the books on recovery, "Our commander in chief not only wants to destroy the USA economically, but also as the international leader of the free world. Ever since WWII the USA has become the protector of freedom around the world, a task only made possible by backing this commitment with the strongest military in the world. WWII taught us diligence. Our troop strength went from a high during the big war of 12 million to 1.3 million at the time of the 911 attack in 2001. We then found that our troop strength was too small to fight two small wars (Afghanistan and Iraq). A big mistake that has cost American lives and treasure."
"Since the big war, we have been the protector of our allies who shared our principles of freedom and peace. We have not asked for land or treasures in exchange for this protection. Today, Obama clearly wants to, and in fact is, destroying our International leadership. In fact if you put it in baseball scores Obama sweeps every game of the series with SEVEN WINS to a big fat ZERO for the USA. We lose every game in the series to this little skinny little traitor who throws a baseball like a girl."
"Don't believe me? Here are the box scores":
Obama Beats the USA in Iraq in 4 Innings
1. Declares Iraq the "bad" war
2. Withdraws troops leaving no residual force to protect a fragile democracy
3. Leaves Iraq to a coalition of Iran and militant Muslim Shiites
4. Demonstrates that our losses of lives and treasure are for nothing when we enter George Bush's "bad" wars
Obama Beats the USA in Afghanistan in 8 Innings
1. Declares Afghanistan the "good" war
2. Deploys a "mini-surge" while announcing a troop withdrawal schedule at the same time
3. Fires Gen. McChristle our military leader for telling the truth
4. Transfers Gen. Patraeus cover for "mini-surge" (Patraeus then is removed from the battlefield and stuck away in the CIA that Panetta has already neutered)
5. Brands Afghanistan leaders and USA allies as "corrupt"
6. Obama's "Generals" lie about our successes over the Taliban in an attempt to present "victory before the pull out"
7. Negotiates to give Afghanistan back to the Taliban (claims this week a big victory that Afghan leaders have joined the talks with the Taliban)
8. Will declare our defeat in Afghanistan is a lesson that we should never commit troops (just use drones) and that our losses of lives and treasure are for nothing even when we enter "a good war"
Obama Beats the USA in Easter Europe in 4 Innings
1. Negotiates a NEW START treaty with Russia that is so complicated it rivals Obamacare
2. Stiffs the Czechs and Poles by cancelling our missile defense commitments to them

4. Russia continues to block all US proposals (like Syria) in UN
Obama Beats USA in Asia in 6 Innings
1. Last summer Obama cuts military budget by $487 billion over 10 years
2. Obama uses a political trick involving a "super-congressional committee" to make massive cuts (another $500 billion) to defense
3. Obama announces plans to cut 100,000 troops from the Army and Marines while reducing the Navy fleet and the Air Force
4. Obama asks the Pentagon for a plan to cut our nuclear arsenal from 1,550 to as few as 300 (about the size of China who has the largest land army in the world)
5. In the same week as his request to the Pentagon is "leaked" Obama graciously welcomes China's next President to the White House (China who is dramatically increasing its Navy, Air Force, nuclear and missile technology)
6. Obama shows dramatic progress on his commitment to the world to eliminate our nuclear safety net for all nations and to uni-laterally disarm the military leader of the free world (who Obama despises)
Obama Beats the USA in Iran in 4 Innings
1. Obama chooses to have a dialogue with Iranian leaders instead of even verbally supporting one million protesters calling for regime change in the streets of Iran
2. Obama pulls out of Iraq giving Iran access to the third largest oil reserves in the world
3. Obama "cautiously" supports sanctions because "he doesn't want to increase the price of oil" which has doubled in the US since he came into office
4. Obama (his accomplice Leon Panetta who is now neutering the Defense Department) leaks Israeli plans to stop Iran from developing nukes in an attempt to block them from using force
Obama Beats the USA in the Middle East in 5 Innings
1. Obama praises the uprising in Egypt that overthrows our long time secular ally as "The Arab Spring"
2. Radical Egyptian Muslims threaten to gain control of Egypt and cancel Israeli peace agreement
3. Egyptian military hanging on to power by a string with no assistance from Obama
3. Obama "leads from behind" in placing US Military under NATO in Libya overthrowing another strong secular dictator in favor of tribal warfare that includes more power to radical Muslims
4. Libyan success touted as a model for the future that the USA should not act alone in "policing" the world
5. Obama has it set up for Iran and radical Muslims to overthrow the remaining Arab ally, the Saudis (rich royal families stealing from their own people like all of Obama's hated Colonialists do). This gives the bad guys 70% of the world's oil reserves
Obama Beats the USA in the Americas in 5 Innings
1. Obama takes measures to treat foreign terrorists as US Citizens who are innocent and lawyered up until proven guilty
2. Obama releases many captured terrorists from his hated GITMO to return to the battlefield
3. Obama allows illegal immigrants across unprotected southern borders and stops deportations under the guise of limited resources and deportation of dangerous criminals only
4. Obama sues any state who tries to protect themselves from illegal immigrants
5. Obama cow tows to Venezuela, Cuba, and any other Socialist leaning regimes in the Americas
Billy Roy summed up as usual, "Series over. We lose every game and go 0-7. We never even took Obama to the 9th inning! And I ain't sleeping a wink tonight."
So if Butch is even close to accurate on Obama's intent to destroy our leadership role in the world, you would think that real Americans would vote him out of office just on his foreign policies. Or will they believe him when he cooks the unemployment books to show that only 7.5-8% of Americans are out of work by November and believe that there is still more good things for him to stimulate? And, that this stimulation is more important than our children's safety in a hostile world, much of which joins Obama in his hatred for the Judeo Christian principles of the USA.
Think about it,

Obama Voters Are Dumb And Obama Donors Are Dumber
Butch and Billy Roy think Obama is an anti-colonialist who wants to weaken and destroy America both economically and internationally. Others think he is a crony capitalistic version of a socialist who wants to control every element of our society either through a huge socialist government or using his business partners or a combination. If Butch and Billy Roy are right, the only people dumber than Obama voters are Obama's financial backers who provide his hundreds of millions of campaign dollars only to insure their own destruction. How does this work?
First let's identify who these big campaign doners are. We only have to look at his PROPOSED budget to find them. First come the unions. A good part of his $1.3 Trillion deficit spending budget goes to yet another round of not-so-shovel-ready construction projects and government "investments" totaling $178 billion. Spending includes the president's favored road, bridge, and school construction projects, but then they go alarmingly beyond the usual 'infrastructure' arguments to fund teachers' pay. In other words, unions representing the construction site and the classroom win big in the Obama PROPOSED budget.
Other winners in the president's PROPOSED budget are those who fit into the Administration's vision of a green economy that is propelled not by the market's demand, but by Obama's whim (and of course Algore, Solyndra, and Doerr's greed). The 2013 budget proposes to spend $310 million to make solar energy cost-competitive without subsidies by 2020, $290 million to expand R&D on energy efficient manufacturing techniques, and $421 million in fossil energy research and development. Obama's budget rejects the notion of a market-based energy industry and wastes taxpayer dollars at a time when we desperately need to curtail out-of-control spending. Also all this green spending will make the country even more dependent on foreign sources of real energy (that being oil, gas, and coal).
There's no clearer example of just how ridiculous Obama's PROPOSED crazy spending would be than his decision to increase subsidies for electric vehicles like the $41,000 Chevy Volt while ending funding for the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program (DCOSP), which gives low-income children in the nation's capital a chance to escape underperforming schools. According to the Heritage Foundation the White House intends to increase taxpayer-funded subsidies for those who purchase new-technology vehicles to $10,000 per buyer, up from $7,500. Keep in mind that the average income of a Volt buyer is $175,000 per year. That means that middle-class taxpayers are helping the rich buy pricy, politically correct cars.
With his other hand, President Obama is taking from the poor. The DCOSP provides $8,000 vouchers to 1,600 low-income children in the District of Columbia, empowering them to attend a school that they choose. The program has been a stunning success -- though it has drawn criticism from the president's teachers union allies. If the president gets his way, those children will pay the price.
Heritage goes further into the big picture, "They won't be the only ones in their generation, though, who will suffer under the president's budget. From a big picture perspective, the president's budget rises from $3.8 trillion to $5.8 trillion in 2022. Putting that into context, that means outlays above 22 percent of gross domestic product -- more than twice the New Deal's share of the economy in its peak years. In constant dollars, outlays are more than three times the peak of World War II. With all that spending, someone will have to pay for it. Whose names will be on the bill? Those under 30 -- America's debt-paying generation. Their entire lives will be dominated by paying down today's mountains of debt. And some of them are waking up to that fact."
"It will be my generation, rather than the retiring baby boomers, that will be paying off the national debt through higher income taxes," says Amanda Winkler, 24, a Master's Student at American University. Shaun Rabenius, 26, is a part-time construction worker and student. He says, "I have never followed politics much, except for when I vote. But in looking at the last decade, the presidencies, and the debt they have accumulated, I am scared out of my mind."
So how is Obama screwing his donors with all these goodies in his budget. The dummies will be impressed that he had the guts to put their ridiculous pay offs in his budget. HOWEVER, THE TRUTH IS OBAMA'S BUDGET WILL NEVER PASS THE CONGRESS. HIS LAST BUDGET WAS DEFEATED BY A VOTE OF 97-0. AND OBAMA KNOWS IT. He can continue to destroy the nation economically and internationally while paying for his re-election campaigns with goodies to his donors that he can not deliver. Bottom line: OBAMA IS CONNING EVERYONE INCLUDING HIS BIG MONEY DONORS. He makes big promises, and they will get only scraps as long as there are enough Republicans in Congress to block the Obama budgets.
Are Obama supporters this dumb or is Obama just that much smarter?

Obama's budget rejects the notion of a market-based energy industry and wastes taxpayer dollars at a time when we desperately need to curtail out-of-control spending. Also all this green spending will make the country even more dependent on foreign sources of real energy (that being oil, gas, and coal).
There's no clearer example of just how ridiculous Obama's PROPOSED crazy spending would be than his decision to increase subsidies for electric vehicles like the $41,000 Chevy Volt while ending funding for the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program (DCOSP), which gives low-income children in the nation's capital a chance to escape underperforming schools. According to the Heritage Foundation the White House intends to increase taxpayer-funded subsidies for those who purchase new-technology vehicles to $10,000 per buyer, up from $7,500. Keep in mind that the average income of a Volt buyer is $175,000 per year. That means that middle-class taxpayers are helping the rich buy pricy, politically correct cars.
With his other hand, President Obama is taking from the poor. The DCOSP provides $8,000 vouchers to 1,600 low-income children in the District of Columbia, empowering them to attend a school that they choose. The program has been a stunning success -- though it has drawn criticism from the president's teachers union allies. If the president gets his way, those children will pay the price.
Heritage goes further into the big picture, "They won't be the only ones in their generation, though, who will suffer under the president's budget. From a big picture perspective, the president's budget rises from $3.8 trillion to $5.8 trillion in 2022. Putting that into context, that means outlays above 22 percent of gross domestic product -- more than twice the New Deal's share of the economy in its peak years. In constant dollars, outlays are more than three times the peak of World War II. With all that spending, someone will have to pay for it. Whose names will be on the bill? Those under 30 -- America's debt-paying generation. Their entire lives will be dominated by paying down today's mountains of debt. And some of them are waking up to that fact."
"It will be my generation, rather than the retiring baby boomers, that will be paying off the national debt through higher income taxes," says Amanda Winkler, 24, a Master's Student at American University. Shaun Rabenius, 26, is a part-time construction worker and student. He says, "I have never followed politics much, except for when I vote. But in looking at the last decade, the presidencies, and the debt they have accumulated, I am scared out of my mind."
So how is Obama screwing his donors with all these goodies in his budget. The dummies will be impressed that he had the guts to put their ridiculous pay offs in his budget. HOWEVER, THE TRUTH IS OBAMA'S BUDGET WILL NEVER PASS THE CONGRESS. HIS LAST BUDGET WAS DEFEATED BY A VOTE OF 97-0. AND OBAMA KNOWS IT. He can continue to destroy the nation economically and internationally while paying for his re-election campaigns with goodies to his donors that he can not deliver. Bottom line: OBAMA IS CONNING EVERYONE INCLUDING HIS BIG MONEY DONORS. He makes big promises, and they will get only scraps as long as there are enough Republicans in Congress to block the Obama budgets.
Are Obama supporters this dumb or is Obama just that much smarter?
Think about it,

O-Bombing The Free World
Butch Jackson has spent much of the past 3 years studying, even reading books, to better understand what makes Barrack Hussein Obama II tick. In fact, Butch has made this activity second only to football in the use of his spare time, which is most of the time. He roared in to the Hubbard City Cafe with his conclusions just this past week.
"Obama's mind is warped. We have all known that for some time. I know why. It is all in his book, a book that most people call 'Dreams of My Father' which isn't the real name. The real name is 'Dreams from My Father'. In other words, Obama got his dreams FROM his father. Forget the pesky little facts that Obama's father was a revolutionary bigamist who was an alcoholic. Obama, Sr. was also a dedicated anti-colonialist who hated the rich Europeans and Americans who he felt gained their wealth from robbing poor nations. His dreams were to make strong nations weaker and weak nations stronger by redistributing wealth. Got it?"
"Obama, Jr. comes along as a Presidential candidate who looks Black and acts White. White Americans who feel guilty about this country's racial past flock to Obama to ease their guilt, not to mention defeating the sleazy Clintons who even the Democrats were fed up with. Once elected, Obama has launched an unyielding attack to weaken this country and further his father's dreams on a scale never dreamed of even by his father."
"Look at Obama's tactics. On any issue, Obama first, paints two ridiculous extremes. Take taxes, he says, 'There are those who would have the rich pay no capital gains taxes and minimum rates as low as 15% on their income. There are others who would tax only the rich and make them pay rates of 80-90%. I am for fair tax rates with everyone doing paying their fair share of the tax burden.' Obama then proposes an extreme tax plan of taxing the successful and re-distributing to the unsuccessful. He wants to raise capital gains from 15-28%, and he would love to get rates of those making over $200,000 to as high as 40-50%. The tax increases on the successful would meet Obama's dream of weakening dramatically the American economy by stopping investments in large and small businesses. While screwing the producers and re-distributing to the moochers, Obama rhetoric is aimed at the middle class. Why? Because he needs their votes. He preaches class warfare in that the rich are not sharing the burden and are pushing the burden to the middle class. This is an idiot pitch pure and simple."
Billy Roy Mitchum, local renown country and western star, who will be recognized as "Citizen of the Year" by none other than the Hubbard Chamber of Commerce next month, hitched his jeans up and waded in with both size 12 Tony Lamas, "Butch, this may be your best research since you convinced Mack Brown that he should fire his offensive coordinator. As you went through this I applied your findings to the housing crisis which created the recession that has brought this country to its knees. Clearly the housing collapse was caused by the federal government. They not only gave the banks cheap money, they said if the loans went bad they would have Freddie and Fannie back them up and make the loans good. They pressured the banks to make loans to people who could not afford them. They even supported demonstrations by community organizers like ACORN (remember Obama's previous employer). There were marches on banks that were not making enough bad loans to poor people with claims of racism. So what did Obama do when the market collapsed? He blames the big successful banks, the Wall Street fat cats, for taking advantage of poor home owners, He has his accomplices, Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, pass legislation to protect Main Street from the fat cats'. The fine print of the legislation makes it difficult for the banks to make money and gives the government control of the banking industry to go along with health care, autos, energy, insurance, etc. Bottom line, Obama has weakened the country's housing market and brought the successful financial industry to its knees and placing it under Obama's control. If you want to weaken a country weaken their financial system. If you want todestroy a business, let the government run it."
BM was just getting started, "Look at the current issues with Catholic Hospitals and Schools having to provide contraceptives, sterilization, and morning after abortion pills. Obama paints his untrue and ridiculous estremes, 'There are those who want to ban contraception. Others want to make religious organizations go against their beliefs. I am for a solution that satisfies both sides.' These are good words but his claimed compromise solution is once again very, very extreme. He O-Bombs the insurance companies by making them provide these services FREE (Liberals believe anything is free that they don't have to pay for). Obacare tells insurance companies what they must cover and what they can charge their policyholders. He O-Bombs religious organizations by making their insurance plans cover policyholders for services that are considered by many as sinful and counter to their religious beliefs. The federal government is banned by the Constitution from dictating to businesses and religious organizations (remember at one time Obama was alleged to have taught Constitutional Law). Once again, Obama's 'down the middle compromise' is way more extreme than our founder's would have ever dreamed could happen. Again Obama weakens two of America's greatest assets, our free enterprise system and our religious freedoms, and in doing so, he makes the strong much weaker."
Well, with that BM adjourned this coffee break. Looks like the guys are on to something. I will try applying other issues like defense and energy to see if the shoe fits with Obama's anti-colonialism. Something tells me it will. We have a President in the White House who wants to weaken our country, our European allies, and Israel on the world's stage. Inside the United States this President wants to weaken our free enterprise business structures, our investors, our religious institutions, our educational institutions, our immigration policies, our national defense, etc., etc. In each case my bet is he is selling his extremist and destructive actions as moderate compromises between two entirely unrealistic extremes.
Are we this stupid? Think about it.

A Plea From Netanyahu's Former Chief of Staff To The Hubbard City Cafe
The Hubbard City Cafe recently received the following message and video from Dick Morris. Billy Roy and the cafe crew encourage you to view the video and pass it along to your contacts. While Obama will make every effort to "cook the economic books" to show "improvement", his handling of foreign affairs alone will surely be enough to turn voters against him. Obama is dedicated to weakening the U.S. and our allies in favor of any nation that challenges our leadership. Obama considers historically strong nations, such as ours, as evil colonial empires. His mission in life is to destroy us. This election will be determined by our ability to inform the electorate which will be no easy task. Here is Morris' email:
Dear Friends,
Over the weekend, I got an e-mail from my friend Naftali Bennett who served as Netanyahu’s Chief of Staff. It is a chilling warning about Iranian nuclear ambitions and a plea for action by Americans to save Israel from Iran and from the Obama Administration’s neglect.
He has given me permission to share his e-mail below with you:
Take his warning to heart!
Dick
This is Naftali Bennett’s email to Eileen and I:
Dear Eileen & Dick,
I hope all is well with you two. As you may recall, I served as Netanyahu’s Chief of Staff a few years back — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naftali_Bennett — I love reading your daily columns and watching the great vids!
I’m writing to you because Israelis are more concerned now than ever about Iran’s race to acquire a nuclear bomb, and Obama’s lack of resolve in stopping it from happening. It’s become clear that America won’t stop Iran, but the real concern is that Obama is doing everything to prevent Israel from protecting itself.
Last week’s NYT editorial represents Obama’s thinking, and I know our government is in a very tough spot. So, what am I asking of you: please help step up the pressure on President Obama in any way possible. We’re nearing the last moment.
Israel’s request is simple: if President Obama isn’t going to stop Iran, he must let Israel do the job!
I’ve made a short video that makes this very case:
It’s something I know Netanyahu would like to say, but he can’t for obvious reasons. I, however, am free to speak up. It’s not filmed in high quality etc. I just got in front of a home camera and did it (I guess I learned it from you…). If you’d like, I could get into a studio and do it better. Otherwise, you can use it as-is. It hasn’t been distributed (not searchable on YouTube). Let me know if you’d like to make use of it.
Thanks in advance.
Naftali Bennett

Smoke Is Coming From Obama's Kitchen As He Cooks Unemployment Numbs
Seems like many folks (Gingrich, Rush, even Good Morning America) are communicating how Obama is cooking the books on unemployment rates as his Labor Department reported this week unemployment “continued to improve from 8.5% to 8.3%”. As we have blogged they are dropping people from the work force and the unemployed rolls to get the desired unemployment rate.
If Obama was using the Bush Administration's participation rate of 65.7 (percentage of population in the work force) instead of this months 63.7% the national unemployment rate would be 9.7% instead of the reported 8.3%. Obama went from a participation rate this month of 64% to 63.7%. Why? Because at 64%, his unemployment number would have gone from 8.5% to 8.55%. By reducing it with no rhyme or reason to 63.7% he got his desired improvement to 8.3% and a bounce in the polls.
Unless there is a public outcry Obama can falsify the unemployment number to be anything he wishes to support his deceit of the electorate and his re-election.
If you factor in part time workers who can’t find full time jobs the true 9.7 rate goes to around 16-17%.
I hate to keep bugging you guys on this but it is important. Rasmussen shows the spread of voters who strongly disapprove of Obama has gone from 18% to 10% in the last few weeks. This is more than likely based on claims that the economy is improving and headed in the right direction.
Rasmussen also states the Congressional Budget Office is dramatically misleading the public regarding our deficits. Current estimates are that in 2012 we will ONLY increase our deficit by $1.1 Trillion. The CBO does not include the annual doctor fix (making up for underpayments in Medicare) of $300 Billion nor do they include any extension of the Bush Tax Cuts which is another $600 Billion or so starting in 2013.
The last little oversight of the CBO is it never includes entitlement commitments (Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security). These little pesky items will add another $3 Trillion to the Federal Government's debt in 2012 for a whopping total of over $4 Trillion.
To be fair this deceit is not only Obama's. It has been perpetrated on taxpayers and citizens for a long, long time. Our national true deficit is closer to $150 Trillion than the published $15 Trillion according to Rasmussen.
When you think about it "REAL HOPE AND CHANGE" in Washington is a must. With Obama it is not what he says but what he does.
Vote the crooks out starting with Barry,
