Someone who says, “I tremble when I remember that God is just” does not have a “blind spot” about slavery.

You DO realize, of course, that a reference to fluffing is something of a double-entendre in this context…lol.

Actually, it may be quite accurate considering how the MSM has whored itself out so desperately for Obonga!

Priceless! Spoiled children, indeed!!!!

If you had only listened to that canadian dropout, and no other source of information, you too would have been flabbergasted at just how bad a trouncing the democrats took that evening.

Another good example would be Dan Rather:

Dan’s Distorted Poll Reporting: “The President calls the tax cut necessary. Democrats call it a campaign for the wealthy. So far, it’s a problematic sell for the President. In a CBS News/New York Times poll out tonight, less than half the respondents thought the Bush tax cut would actually help the economy.”

– May 13, 2003 CBS Evening News. Rather failed to report that the poll he cited showed twice as many said tax cuts would help the economy (41 percent) than said new tax cuts would hurt (19 percent).

As a result of such obvious bias over the decades, I’ve been figuring in a personal correction factor for years whenever the MSM rolls out a new “poll” on anything….

Odd isn’t it, that now all the polls are more or less showing what Rasmussen showed months ago, while Rasmussen has been consistent. see Real Clear Politics-polls.

I suspect the MSM just polled people around their office water coolers in upper west side Manhattan, or weighed them heavier the flyover country results.

Europe would benefit from an appointment with a hangman, without a US presence.

Actually we confuse Europe with west Europe. I suspect those closest to Russia have a deeper appreciation of the US and O’s character.

Adj. 1. oleaginous – unpleasantly and excessively suave or ingratiating in manner or speech; “buttery praise”; “gave him a fulsome introduction”; “an oily sycophantic press agent”; “oleaginous hypocrisy”; “smarmy self-importance”; ; “soapy compliments”
buttery, fulsome, smarmy, unctuous, soapy, oily
insincere – lacking sincerity; “a charming but thoroughly insincere woman”; “their praise was extravagant and insincere”
2. oleaginous – containing an unusual amount of grease or oil; “greasy hamburgers”;
fatty, fat – containing or composed of fat; “fatty food”; “fat tissue”

For similar reasons, I can’t help but think that Obonga’s poll numbers are being…ah, fluffed…a bit.

…

So, in comparisons between Reagan and Obambi, my gut feeling is that Reagan’s numbers are low-balled and Obambi’s numbers are high-balled.

Now would leftists do that? /sarc

I would bet my life that they have/have had their thumbs on the scale all along.

Re European free-riding, I draw the analogy to children. They don’t work, or deal with a lot of unpleasantness, and they do just fine. Are children showing us the way? Europeans and liberals must think so.

Europe’s enthusiasm for Obama is proof positive that the continent is infested with idiots. If they had any brains at all, they’d want a George Bush-type “cowboy” as President. Then they can strike poses about their tolerance and understanding, knowing they won’t have to actually do anything.

As it is, they plumped for Pee Wee Herman as their bodyguard. Think Obama will step up for Europe, should another Balkans-type crisis erupt? Think again. He’ll read some oleaginous words of the teleprompter. For a model, see his reaction to the Falklands problem, and expect more of the same.

Here’s a place you can review and compare presidential polling numbers:

However – keep in mind that Reagan was continuously represented in polling as being far less popular than he actually was, which in turn led to certain liberal leaders developing ulcers as they found they couldn’t simply undermine him as they thought they could.

Even during the 1980’s (or perhaps especially during the 1980’s) pollsters were not above shenanigans.

He also had that “malaise” problem from the Carter administration to deal with, and had to do so with a hostile democrat controlled congress, a military that was seen as having been defeated and was a paper tiger, and inflation that was a total bitch.

So he probably did have low polling numbers early in his presidency, but he took positive steps to correct the problems the country faced and in the long run people rallied around his administration as they saw the positive results of his efforts.

I’d feel comfortable bumping Reagan’s numbers above what they are represented as having been at the time, but alas, I’m no statistician so would have no tangible proof to base such a revision upon.

For similar reasons, I can’t help but think that Obonga’s poll numbers are being…ah, fluffed…a bit.

I can’t for the life of me see why a percentage of the population anywhere near 40% still agree with this dunce.

So, in comparisons between Reagan and Obambi, my gut feeling is that Reagan’s numbers are low-balled and Obambi’s numbers are high-balled.

At any rate, the link does provide at least some basis of comparison, and leaves me wondering just how much lower in reality Obongo’s true polling numbers are.
