Obama's confidence factor rising

Nice try Silva. People are more confident about Obama (myself included) because he has chosen to surround himself with the best people from the Clinton Administration.

"Obama's confidence factor rising"

Countdown to a condesending, arrogant anti-Obama coment from MJ
5...4...3..2..1...Ding Ding Ding!

This is the kind of story that makes the Wingnuts heads explode.

The "Limbaugh/Hannity Republicans" have consumed and repeated so much disinformation that they have no idea how kooky they sound.

As long as the Republican Party continues to be dominated by Limbaugh /Hannity Republicans, we're bound to see more efforts to interfere with the healing and unity that Obama is trying to bring to the Nation.

A bullet train system---right down the center median of the interstate highway system is the ticket.
Massive windpwoer project in midwest corridor and solar panels and get back all the electric cars that GM et al killed.

The 2009 Swamp: More polls, less actual news.

Well I know that I can't wait. Faster than a speeding ellipsoid, more powerful than a locomotive, a great speechmaker too. Joe Montana lost to the Vikings in the playoffs on one ocassion and to the Giants on another. Sandy Koufax never struck out more than 19 in a single game, but here is a guy that can do everything. How can anyone wait. Is he there yet. Please tell me when he is there. Love, peace and understanding, everybody's "healed", everybody gets along, the magic bus taking you everywhere you ever wanna go. I can't wait.

Still don't have any confidence in Obama, seems he dosen't wan't to come clean on controversal subjects and this will probably worsen after he gets sworn in.

The poll the poll-loving Mark Silva won't mention: the CNN poll of Dec. 22 showing that the American people believe Team Obama was involved in Blago's seat-selling schemes. See http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/12/22/poll.obama.blagojevich/index.html.

In the Swamp, polls are publicized only when they "advance the narrative" of Obama's greatness.

". . . get back all the electric cars that GM et al killed."

GM is only one car company. If electrics are such a great idea, where are the Toyota electrics? Where are the Nissan electrics? Where are the Honda electrics? After all, those companies make money, and supposedly have great product planning, so what they do must be right, right?

GM had the guts to try to build an electric car. They concluded that there wasn't sufficient market for an electric that they could make money on it. Its problems (high cost, limited range, especially in cold weather, suitability only as a second car) were too great for wide public acceptance. So they tried, and decided that it was a failure. And for that, for having tried, people like "Jobs for EVERYONE, etc." and others who get their facts from movies continually excoriate them.

What were you expecting, Bemused; a cabinet of Jesse Jackson, Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright, and Keith Olberman? This cabinet and staff was to be expected--if you were paying attention.

Here is other news the Corrupt Chicago Tribune and it's Ultra-Corrupt Washington Obama PR Bureau will never report about: Obama's affiliations with the disgraced Norman Hsu:

DECEMBER 31--As if being linked to one high-profile criminal case weren't enough, President-elect Barack Obama's name may soon pop up in another federal prosecution, this one involving a massive Ponzi scheme (no, the other massive Ponzi scheme). In addition to the Rod Blagojevich pay-for-play probe, Obama could figure in the upcoming fraud trial of Norman Hsu, the disgraced Democratic fundraiser who was charged last year with operating a $60 million pyramid scheme. According to investigators, Hsu, a major Hillary Clinton fundraiser, pressured investors to donate money to political candidates with whom he was aligned. In a letter last week to U.S. District Court Judge Victor Marrero, Hsu's lawyer, Martin Cohen, requested a 60-day delay in the start of Hsu's trial, scheduled to open January 12 (Cohen cited the "extraordinary level of negative publicity" generated by the recent arrest of alleged Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff). In his December 22 letter, a copy of which you'll find below, Cohen also noted that Hsu was already "notorious for his political activities" and that it was "inevitable" that his client's "connections" to Bill and Hillary Clinton "and other democratic notables--including perhaps the president-elect--will be introduced at trial." Before becoming a key fundraiser for Hillary Clinton's presidential bid, Hsu co-hosted a 2005 California fundraiser for Obama's political action committee and introduced the Illinois Democrat to Marc Gorenberg, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist who later joined the Obama campaign's national finance committee. Prosecutors allege that Hsu directed his investors to donate money to specific candidates, and then reimbursed them in violation of federal campaign laws. Unswayed by Cohen's argument, Marrero declined to delay the trial, which will begin a week before Obama's inauguration.

Silva, here is a news flashy for you: Most people have a sense of optimism with any new president, it comes with the territory. What I'd like to know is why is Obama's $1 trillion stimulus package considered good, but any stimulus package put forth by Bush was always bad and only tacked on to the deficit? Funny that we hear squat about the deficit with Obama's incredibly huge stimulus package.

Let's hope giving the Secretary of Labor job to David Bonier's American Rights at Work propaganda machine is the end of the payback to the organized labor lobby. Employee-Free Choice Act would divide and damage our economy - at the expense of legitimate free employee choice in matters of workplace relations representation - as nothing has for over 50 years.

Johnny D.

Please furnish the source for your story.

Also, please tell ALL of us about Bush's so-called stimulus package? When was that?? And no, tax cuts to the rich do not count as a "stimulus".

Remember the "Wizard of Oz"....Dorothy, Scarecow, Lion, Tinman...followed that yellow brick road to the land of Oz...all their hopes, dreams...sorta like the Obama-maniacs couldn't you say. Sweet dreams.

John D-- there is a difference between a feel good 'send everyone a $300 check' stimulus, a la Bush, and a program aimed at creating jobs and repairing our crappy infrastructure.

Krugman hits another one out.

The whining Repubs need to take a time out and reconsider their entire 30 year political debacle.

Why do the Republicans hate America?

mort,
Right you are. And besides, $300 won't even get you a new muffler system anymore.

The reason I hate polls is because I have never been asked to participate and have never known anybody either that got the call. Not only that but 1 week the people like you, the next they don't. Obama better get ready for wild swings in public opinion. The big problem is that rarely does the public know what is really going on and so they can answer based on feelings not fact.

The real “real America,” a country that is more diverse, more tolerant, and more demanding of effective government than is dreamt of in the political philosophy of the organized labor lobby of authoritarian tin generals like John Sweeney, their lackeys and their propaganda machines like American Rights at Work, would not destroy the government protection of secret-ballot elections conducted by neutral agents of the National Labor Relations Board and replace it with self-interested, private-organization (union) control over the process of demonstrating employee choice under the Employee-Free Choice Act.

Hmmm, he's going to need the confidence of the American people when this Richardson and Norman Hsu stuff hits the fan.

Assuming of course that, 1. The MSM doesn't just bury/spin it all away, and 2. That the average American isn't already immune to scandals involving presidents, especially after 8 years of the Clintons.
