Barack Obama’s approval rating drops and he’s taking fellow Democrats with him
How low will Barack Obama go? If you check out the latest poll by Rasmussen and follow the trends, it looks like the President’s downward spiral is continuing to pick up steam. The latest Presidential tracking poll shows that 25% of Americans strongly approve of the President’s performance, while 43% strongly disapprove. Overall, just 45% approve of the job Barack Obama is doing, while 54% disapprove.
The same poll found that nearly half of Americans believe GM will need another bailout, 61% believe Congress should drop healthcare reform, and 66% believe the country is heading in the wrong direction. It doesn’t look like American’s are fond of the Obama agenda. » read more

Great news! The U.S. will only lose $30 billion on the auto industry bailout
I have some great news for you today. Do you remember the $82 billion bailout of the auto industry? Well, the government was expecting to lose $44 billion, but revised figures show that the loss will only be $30 billion! Isn’t that awesome? Yeah, I don’t think so either.
Barack Obama and other socialist-leaning politicians thought the bailout was a great idea, and they still do. The best thing that could have happened would have been to let Chrysler file for bankruptcy, cancel all of their contracts, then reorganize without government assistance. More jobs would have been lost, unions would have been angry, and the companies would have been decimated, but I find that preferrable to the precedent that was set. » read more
