Polls

A new NYT/CBS poll about Obama's Healthcare scheme was done by polling twice as many Obama voters than McCain voters. A NYT's editor's comment about it?

I apppreciate your question about the measure on the poll of respondents' vote in the last presidential election. Historically, our polls and others have found that respondents do not always accurately recall who they voted for in the past and much depends on the popularity of whoever is living in the White House. There was quite a good discussion of this phenomenon on Slate recently, which you might want to take a look at. We use the question for purposes of internal analysis but do not rely on it in any substantive way. We are more likley to rely on poll respondents' self reported party identification or political ideology when it comes to looking at differences between political groups. Thank you for being such a careful reader of The New York Times and for your interest in The New York Times/CBS News Poll.

Sincerely,

Obama breaks the law again

Obama help to craft legislation about how Inspector Generals are terminated. Now he has decided that the law does not apply to him. Recently he fired 3 inspector generals without following the law which says he has to give 30 days notice and give congress and explanation as to why they were fired. Obama did neither. Senator Claire McCaskill, a democrat, had to explain to Obama how the law worked. I suppose he is not smart enough to know himself.

All 3 IG's were or had investigated people who are friends and/or fund raisers for Obama for his presidency.

Obama did not go to church after all

Richard Wolffe, an MSNBC contributor, has revealed that the reason Obama did not know what Rev. Wright said in church was because, gasp, he didn't go to church! The few times he did go to church, he continued, was to garner support for his campaign for whatever office he was after at the time. I wonder if anyone will bother covering this in the MSM?

The Transparent One

During the Bush terms, he was criticized in not making public the list of White House visitors. Democrats came unglued about it. Obama comes in, says he's going to make government transparent, signs a pork laden bill behind closed doors with no cameras, and now, refuses to release the list of White House visitors, just as Bush did. MSNBC requested a list of all visitors from Jan. 20 to now, and the Secret Service, through Obama, said "no."

I am really surprised that MSNBC reported it on their webpage.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31373407/ns/politics-white_house/

After the Bush admin. denied giving out the list, someone sued to get it release, and there were two rulings by a federal judge that the records are public. So Obama is Bush.

Obama critisizes Bush for appointing donors to Ambassadorships, and then does it himself

Yes it's hard to believe isn't it? The Messiah, Allah-bama's appointments to ambassadorships are filled with donors to his campaign, rather than people with foreign policy experience. Gibbs, the White House spokesman explained about the appointment of former Citigroup exec Louis Susman for the U.K. ambassador, that he speaks English. So now we see what Allah-bama looks for in qualifications for appointments.

Carrie Prejean out as Miss CA

Hardly surprising, the Miss California 'company' finally was able to rid themselves of the terrible Carrie Prejean, who did a bad, bad thing, and told a fag that to herself, marriage is between a man and a woman. I'm sure she had given up on the whole thing, and wasn't fulfilling her duties, and that's why they got rid of her. I bet she did it to force the Miss California 'company' to fire her.

So anyway, the first runner-up takes over, Tami Ferrell, has a different idea. No wait! No she doesn't. When asked about gay marriage by Fox News host Neil Cavuto, "[Prejean] went out and said that a marriage is between a man and a woman. Do you share that view?"

Farrell responded in the affirmative with a simple, "Uh huh."

"You do, OK," said Cavuto.

HORROR!

Once again Networks plunge

Liberal news networks continue their plunge into non-existence. CBS News' ratings are the lowest ever since Nielsen's started keeping rating records. There is one way to turn this around: Stop kissing their Messiah's butt! However I believe they are willing to drive themselves out of business before they'd ever chance it. Other liberal paper news organizations have or are going out of business. This list is getting long. Obama's is trying to bail them out by allowing them supposedly unfettered access as NBC recently got to go to "Obama's place" to see how he works day to day.

NBC 7,960,000
ABC 7,150,000
CBS 5,180,000
