Brutal NYT/CBS Poll for Obama

[slukasiewski]

Okay sweetie.

Taking sig bets.

You in?

I am thinking Obama wins in 2012.

Wins what, dumbass? Another Nobel Peace Prize?
The only place he might get elected is France

Other things that his opponents forget is all the tax incentives he gave to keep small businesses afloat, mortgages intact, foreclosure relief, and unemployment extensions. Of course that all cost money, but the economy and unemployment would have been much much worse without those temporary injections.

What "tax incentives" did he give to small business? Keeping "mortgages afloat" means giving handouts to deadbeats. If they took out a mortgage they can't afford, the bank should foreclose on them and sell the property to someone who can afford it. That's the only way this country will ever return to a sound economy.

Seventeen Small Business Tax Cuts and Counting | The White House

Here's the list of 17 small business tax cuts that President Obama has signed into law --

From the Recovery Act, HIRE Acts, and Affordable Care Act:

1. A New Small Business Health Care Tax Credit

2. A New Tax Credit for Hiring Unemployed Workers

3. Bonus Depreciation Tax Incentives to Support New Investment

4. 75% Exclusion of Small Business Capital Gains

5. Expansion of Limits on Small Business Expensing

6. Five-Year Carryback of Net Operating Losses

7. Reduction of the Built-In Gains Holding Period for Small Businesses from 10 to 7 Years to Allow Small Business Greater Flexibility in Their Investments

8. Temporary Small Business Estimated Tax Payment Relief to Allow Small Businesses to Keep Needed Cash on Hand

From the Small Business Jobs Act:

9. Zero Capital Gains Taxes on Key Investments in Small Businesses

10. The Highest Small Business Expensing Limit Ever– Up to $500,000

11. An Extension of 50% Bonus Depreciation

12. A New Deduction for Health Care Expenses for the Self-Employed

13. Tax Relief and Simplification for Cell Phone Deductions

14. An Increase in The Deduction for Entrepreneurs’ Start-Up Expenses

15. A Five-Year Carryback Of General Business Credits

16. Limitations on Penalties for Errors in Tax Reporting That Disproportionately Affect Small Business

And from the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act:

17. 100 Percent Expensing

Some of those expire at the end of 2012, but you'll have to look at each (which of course you won't anyway).

As for mortgage assistance on foreclosures, it's a waste of time to even go there, since you obviously don't have a clue about that either.

this can't be true.

.The New York Times is burrying the lead on their latest poll. The numbers are just brutal for the White House:

•70% of Americans feel things in this country are seriously off on the wrong track. That is the highest number since the 79% registered in 1/11/09 when President Bush was still in office.
•80% rate the national economy as bad (44% fairly/36% very). Only 19% rate it as good (2% very/17% fairly).
•39% think the economy is getting worse, only 23% say it is getting better. Last month those numbers were even at 26. In February they were flipped at 32% better, 22% worse.
•57% disapprove of Obama’s handling of the economy. That is the highest disapproval measured by the CBS/NYT poll. His 38% approval is matched only once by a pre-Democractic election wipe out October poll.
•59% disapprove of Obama’s handling of the federal budget. Also the highest CBS/NYT has ever measured that number.
•Obama’s Libya approval numbers have completely flipped from 50/29 approve in March to 45/39 disapprove today.
•46% disapprove of the way Obama is handling foreign policy. That is the highest number ever for Obama in a CBS/NYT poll. His 39% approval on FP is also his lowest score ever.
•55% tell NYT/CBS they would rather have a smaller government providing fewer services. Only 33% want a bigger government with more services.
•When asked “Do you think Barack Obama has the same priorities for the country as you have, or doesn’t he?” 53% said no and 43% said yes. When Obama was inaugurated those numbers were 65% and 28% no.

Shocker! The economy is bad, and people are mad. Regardless of party, they blame the man in the WH for not waving a magic wand to make everything all better.

Reagan's numbers reflected the same sentiments in '82. And Bush 41 lost his reelection bid in 92 for the same reason, or doesn't anybody remember Clinton's campaign mantra that "It's the economy, stupid."

If the economy doesn't start to show signs of improvement, Obama's reelection chances are problematic. But, in order to win, the Republicans better field a damn good candidate as opposed to some of the lightweights, nuts, and self-promoters who seem to be dominating an otherwise lackluster field. Face it, most Americans would not vote for Trump, or Palin, or Bachmann, or Gingrich. They're poloarizing and they've got a LOT of baggage. Mitch Daniels would be a good choice. But the increasingly conservative GOP base just HATES moderates and pragmatist and seems hell bent on nominating an extremist of one sort or another. If that happens, it's like the character, Hudson, said in the movie, "Aliens."

"Game over, man! Game over!!!

Good Post Mustang.

Couldn't agree more.

If the jobs situation improves dramatically and the economy takes a big upturn then OL'BO will be re-elected.

If not. No way will he make a second term.

I agree about Daniels also. I really like this guy and think he would make a great Prez.

I also agree about the GOP and the base of the party. The need to back a moderate and not an extreme right winger. One can only hope they have the smarts to realize this especially if they want the WH.

Aliens. Great movie.

Mitch Daniels and Chris Christie would be a Republican dream team. Christie has said he will no way run for President, but if he was asked to run on a Daniels-Christie ticket, would he? Although they're both still a little too conservative for my taste, I could learn to live with any common sense approach to our mutual problems by a Republican team.

I am thinking Obama wins in 2012.

I bet he wins too. Over 50% of the population is fucking retarded, like you. You people will vote for him again. Even if you're broke, jobless, out of gas, hungry, and surrounded by illegal aliens and jihadis. Thats how fucking mentally screwed up you lefties are.

I just moved into a luxury duplex and that's after renovating my manhattan co-op which I am renting out. My bonus this year was double what it was last year (but still half of what it was at it's peak).

How you doin'?

lol,Talks cheap liberal.Your GOD obama is a stinking fascist,socialist,racist.I hate him,despise him,loath him.And I DONT know where that evil pig was born!!
The only reason I dont call him a traitor is that he was NEVER a true American.

I'm doing fine. And you're lying. Retarded liberals always respond with "I'm so rich" when you attack them. You probably work at McDonalds. But whatever. You're still retarded enough to vote for Obama again.

(But for the record, I own a home in a suburb. Doing fine. And my dog is cooler than yours, dickwad.)

Notice..I didn't insult you.

And my dog is the best. He's strong, he doesn't start shit, but if shit comes to him he kicks ass.

Like his owner.

Fuck off you retarded liberal.I think your a broke punk living off us working people.

Totally with ya on this one Mags.

Daniels and Christie would be a dream team for sure.

Christies commited to NJ for his term though and who knows if he will be interested enough in 2016?? I don't know if Daniels is interested at all.

I sometimes think these two have to much common sense to run for POTUS.

To bad more politicians don't have that same common sense. Hell. If they did we might have been spared a few of the losers we've had in the past. LOL
