Obama's Approval Rating Is Tanking

President Barack Obama's approval rating in Gallup's rolling survey has plunged 6 percentage points in two weeks, a troubling sign that puts him on shaky historical ground for re-election.

Obama's approval rating is down to just 46 percent, down from a high of 52 percent after the Democratic National Convention. His disapproval rating, meanwhile, now stands at 48 percent, up from 42 percent after the DNC. Altogether, that's a 12-point swing in two weeks.

The President continues to offer up apologies....When tolerance becomes a one way street it leads to cultural suicide....
By Congressman Allen West on Tuesday, September 25, 2012 at 9:48am

In his speech today to the United Nations, President Obama stated six times that the attacks across the Islamic world are attributed to a silly video. Furthermore, he refused to use the words terrorist attack in referring to what occurred in Benghazi Libya at our US Consulate on the 11th anniversary of 9-11. He continues to offer up apologies instead of defending our hard earned First Amendment right to freedom of speech and expression. There is no message to this silly video trailer, and it is beneath the dignity and esteem of the Office of the President of the United States to mention it at all. When tolerance becomes a one way street it leads to cultural suicide. I shall not be tolerant of the intolerant. I know about the UN Resolution 1618 which would make any statement deemed by the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) “offensive’ to Islam a crime…..NOT ON MY WATCH FELLAS!

My statement to the United Nations would have been, “The future does not belong to those who attack our Embassies and Consulates and kill our Ambassadors. The Angel of Death in the form of an American Bald Eagle will visit you and wreak havoc and destruction upon your existence”

In his United Nations speech on Tuesday, President Obama talked about the September 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya and declared that "there should be no doubt that we will be relentless in tracking down the killers and bringing them to justice." What he didn't say is how relentless he'll be in tracking down the security lapses and intelligence failures that contributed to the murders. Let's say there's some doubt about that.

Morning Bell: Obama and Congress Are Choosing to Cause a Recession
Amy Payne, September 27, 2012

President Obama recently said, “The most important lesson I’ve learned is you can’t change Washington from the inside.” That’s demoralizing to hear when a recession is bearing down on the economy—and it’s an inside job.

The Congressional Budget Office has forecasted a fresh recession to hit next year if Taxmageddon, a nearly $500 billion tax increase, hits the nation and Congress and the President drive us off the “fiscal cliff.” President Obama has done nothing but ignore this warning.

...What makes this recession different, and predictable, is that the disruptive force is Washington policies and, even more, Washington behaviors—policies and behaviors for which the nation can thank the Congress and especially President Obama. The policy is Taxmageddon. The behavior is intentional, insistent inaction. The consequence is recession. The response should and will be outrage.

...Economists talk a lot about “uncertainty.” Why is uncertainty such a big deal?

Business owners are looking at next year’s taxes already and thinking they can’t afford to hire. Investors are holding back from expansions and new ventures. This massive uncertainty is holding back all growth and keeping unemployment stubbornly above 8 percent, while millions have dropped out of the labor force because they are so discouraged.

Uncertainty affects your personal finances, too. Think about this: If you’re a middle-class American family, Taxmageddon means that your taxes are going up about $4,100 next year. How does that affect your thinking about traveling for Thanksgiving in a couple of months? Buying Christmas presents? What about saving for retirement or your children’s education?

It starts to hit home that you have to come up with that $4,100 somehow. You’re going to have to make cuts in your lifestyle to be able to pay this tax increase.

The best the economy has to offer right now is a holding pattern. Holding onto our money and holding our breath, waiting for the gigantic shoe of Taxmageddon to drop on top of us.

...Visit Heritage’s Taxmageddon page to learn more, see how it will impact you, and see Taxmageddon’s impact on your state.

Quick Hits:
•Businesses have dropped their outlook for the third quarter, “lowering projections for sales, capital spending and hiring,” reports The Washington Times.
•Second-quarter U.S. economic growth was just revised downward.
•Yesterday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton became the highest-ranking Obama Administration official to link the Libya consulate attack to al-Qaeda. Heritage’s Jim Phillips reported on the possible connection September 13.
•In his recent interview with 60 Minutes, President Obama described U.S. relations with the Middle East as having “bumps in the road.” Check out our new timeline of Middle Eastern relations since Obama took office.

Obama's Plan To Seize Control Of Our Economy And Our Lives
By Jim Powell, 04/29/2012

President Obama has made clear that he’s determined to continue pushing his “progressive” agenda, regardless of constitutional limitations on his power. He aims to have his way by issuing more and more executive orders.

The most ominous sign of possible things to come appeared on March 16, 2012, when President Obama signed executive order 13603 about “National Defense Resources Preparedness.”

This 10-page document is a blueprint for a federal takeover of the economy that would dwarf the looming Obamacare takeover of the health insurance business. Specifically, Obama’s plan involves seizing control of:

* “All commodities and products that are capable of being ingested by either human beings or animals”

* “All forms of energy”

* “All forms of civil transportation”

* “All usable water from all sources”

* “Health resources – drugs, biological products, medical devices, materials, facilities, health supplies, services and equipment”

* Forced labor (or “induction” as the executive order delicately refers to military conscription)

Obama signed, on March 22, 2012, Executive Order 13603 ("National Defense Resources Preparedness"). It claims powers in peacetime and in times of national emergency to take control of the U.S. economy for the "national defense," and to control the distribution of any material "in the civilian market." The problem here is that arms are distributed in the civilian market. Executive Order 13603 makes "it easier for law enforcement agencies ... to seize the lawful weapons of US citizens without arresting the weapon's owner or offering them any semblance of due process." Has Obama ever heard of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, or that "the Supreme Court held that the president does not have authority to seize private property in the absence of either specifically enumerated authority under Article Two of the Constitution or statutory authority conferred on him by Congress"? Does his signing of Executive Order 13603 have anything to do with the government's "accidental order" of millions of rounds of ammunition?

Obama signed Executive Order 13618 ("Assignment of National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions") on July 6, 2012, giving him control, through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), over private communications in the event of a "national emergency." The problem is that nowhere in Executive Order 13618 is the term "national emergency" ever defined, either succinctly or abstractly. The closest thing to a definition can be found in Section 2.2 (b): "... advise the President on the prioritization of radio spectrum and wired communications that support NS/EP [National Security and Emergency Preparedness] functions."

By Executive Order 13618, DHS has the power to "prioritize" (whatever that means -- not defined either) "government communications over privately owned telephone and Internet systems in emergencies." The "Electronic Privacy Information Center [EPIC] warn[s] that it ['prioritize'] really means 'seize'." EPIC lawyer Amie Stephanovich said:


The previous orders did not give DHS those authorities over private and commercial networks. ... That's a new authority. This should have been done by Congress, so there could have been proper debate about it. This is not authority that should be granted by executive order.

Under Executive Order 13618, Obama can say that any news not favorable to him is subversive, that it provokes the peace achieved by his declaration of a national emergency, and have it removed. So much for the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. But that's what the U.S. Constitution says, not what Executive Order 13618 says. Where is the Supreme Court when we need it?

Obama has extended the "national emergency" declaration annually, most recently on July 24, 2011, through Executive Order 13581. Obama said (emphasis added):

On July 24, 2011, by Executive Order 13581, I declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy and economy of the United States constituted by the activities of significant transnational criminal organizations.

Executive Order 13617 ("Blocking Property of the Government of the Russian Federation Relating to the Disposition of Highly Enriched Uranium Extracted From Nuclear Weapons"), signed June 27, 2012, says, "... the Russian Federation continues to constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat."

Obama signed, on March 22, 2012, Executive Order 13603 ("National Defense Resources Preparedness"). It claims powers in peacetime and in times of national emergency to take control of the U.S. economy for the "national defense," and to control the distribution of any material "in the civilian market." The problem here is that arms are distributed in the civilian market. Executive Order 13603 makes "it easier for law enforcement agencies ... to seize the lawful weapons of US citizens without arresting the weapon's owner or offering them any semblance of due process." Has Obama ever heard of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, or that "the Supreme Court held that the president does not have authority to seize private property in the absence of either specifically enumerated authority under Article Two of the Constitution or statutory authority conferred on him by Congress"? Does his signing of Executive Order 13603 have anything to do with the government's "accidental order" of millions of rounds of ammunition?

Here is a very interesting 11-page article about Executive Order 13603 by Jim Powell entitled "Obama's Plan To Seize Control Of Our Economy And Our Lives." Powell says, "He [Obama] aims to have his way by issuing more and more executive orders." Powell also states that "executive orders arise from 'implied constitutional and statutory authority'." He continues, "There isn't anything in the Constitution that authorizes an executive order[.]"

Now we discover that there is a proposed executive order to "work with the National Institute of Standards and Technology to establish the cybersecurity standards" to supposedly protect the "U.S. power grid from electronic attacks." The problem is that the power grid is not under attack. Is this yet another attempt by Obama to control every aspect of our lives?

Look for a "national emergency" to occur on November 7, 2012, because Obama was not re-elected on November 6. Alternatively, by signing Executive Order 13603, Obama has given himself martial law powers and can cancel the election. So if polls are not going his way (despite desperate MSM efforts), he may just declare a national emergency before November 6 and dispense with the election altogether.

Jake Tapper Reports On Obama Administration Misleading On Benghazi Attack
Posted by The Right Scoop on September 27th, 2012

A great report by Jake Tapper on the fact that the White House knew the Benghazi attack wasn’t caused by the [redacted] video, yet went with that anyway:

According to the Washington Examiner, Democrats are now joining Republicans to find out what’s really going on here:

quote:

Senate Democrats joined Republicans Thursday in questioning the Obama administration’s handling of the fatal Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya and why the administration refused for days to acknowledge that it was a terrorist attack linked to al Qaeda.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, chaired by Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., circulated a bipartisan letter addressed to Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Nides, asking for an “accounting of the attacks against U.S. missions in Egypt, Libya and Yemen,” according to a copy obtained by The Washington Examiner.

The lawmakers are also demanding to know whether the administration had any advance warnings of the Libyan attack and, if so, whether it had shared that information with U.S. personnel on the ground.

Giuliani: Absolutely Frightening That Obama Says Still Room For Diplomacy With Iran. Where’s He Living, On Mars?
Posted by The Right Scoop on September 27th, 2012

A great interview with Rudy Giuliani who charges that the Obama administration is covering up what happened in Benghazi because it destroys their political narrative that they have won the war on terror. He also says that at this point we don’t even have a president any more, we have a candidate, noting Obama’s absence on the world scene with the Middle East in turmoil.

Regarding Netanyahu’s speech on Iran, Giuliani says that, politics aside, that it’s absolutely frightening that Obama believes there is still room for diplomacy with Iran, especially considering the words of Netanyahu today. He asks if Obama is living on Mars?

Obama's Sequestration: Imperiling Us at Home and Weakening Us Abroad
By Elise Cooper, Sep 27, 2012

Muslim nations are imploding against the looming backdrop of sequestration, the trillion-dollar budget cuts mandated by the Budget Control Act, passed by Congress last year. As of January 1, 2013, half of those cuts must come from defense, which amounts to about $600 billion over a period of ten years. American Thinker interviewed experts to get their opinions on how the Obama administration is gutting America's national security.

President Obama unveiled his sequestration plan, which calls for cutting discretionary defense appropriations by 9.4%, a $55-billion hit. Among the projected cuts: spending for weapons procurement and shipbuilding, money spent on the war in Afghanistan, a reduction of readiness for many non-deployed units, delays in investments for new equipment and facilities, and cutbacks in military research and equipment repairs.

On the one hand is President Obama embracing these defense cuts, and on the other hand is Mitt Romney, who stated, "We can always find places to end waste. But we cannot cancel program after program, we cannot jeopardize critical missions, and we cannot cut corners in the quality of the equipment and training we provide."
