Interesting read.
The president is taking a nosedive in the polls.
Averages from Pollster.com and RealClearPolitics.com illustrate a dramatic decline in his approval rating and and an increase in disapproval marks. Among independent voters, the two lines are converging. In Rasmussen and Zogby, the two trend lines for all voters already have crossed.
As Sam Youngman reported, the last month has been the worst of Obama’s presidency:
The Obama administration, which was flying high a month ago after pushing through a climate change bill in the House, has since been dealt a series of setbacks and is struggling to regain its footing.After the climate bill passed 219-212 on the afternoon of June 26, there was a feeling that the White House could get much of its agenda through Congress in 2009.A month later, there are doubts that President Obama will even achieve his number one priority of health care reform, much less cap and trade, immigration reform, and a regulatory revamp of the financial sector.There are two explanations — the economy or something more systemic. Ben Stein thinks it is the latter:
The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith. … Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.There is significant support for this theory. Polls show the public thinks Obama is spending too much and taking on too much power. It is not hard to conclude that Obama has been caught trying to pull off a bait and switch — he ran as a moderate and is governing as a left-winger. With ample evidence that they have been conned, the voters are now registering their disapproval.Klaatu barada nikto

The presses smoke screen covering Obama is wearing off. People are starting to see what they have been hiding.
Stand up for what is right, even if you have to stand alone.

Obama also had the luck of being blessed with good timing. A year before the election McCain's campaign was stalled and taking on water. For all intents and purposes, it was dead. Somehow it got resurected. I can't believe that the charismatic Barry Obambi ran against the charisma repellant campaign of McCain.

As I destroy another claim by the CU
My LINKS say a 3 cent tax is what is proposed.
The Senate Finance Committee today is hearing proposals on how to pay for President Obama's proposed universal health care plan, which is expected to cost more than $1 trillion. Among the proposals, as Consumer Affairs reports: A three-cent tax on sodas as well as other sugary drinks, including energy and sports drinks like Gatorade. Diet sodas would be exempt.

But hey, If Rush says 229% ...then he must be right.

Good to see the stench of communism is stronger than the perfume the media sprays all over this guy.
