This Is A Great Show: I Don't Know What It's Called But It's Got "Cannibal" In The Title

"President Barack Obama's treasury secretary said Sunday he cannot rule out higher taxes to help tame an exploding budget deficit, and his chief economic adviser would not dismiss raising them on middle-class Americans as part of a health care overhaul.

During his presidential campaign, Obama repeatedly vowed 'you will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime.' But the simple reality remains that his ambitious overhaul of how Americans receive health care -- promised without increasing the federal deficit -- must be paid for.

'If we want an economy that's going to grow in the future, people have to understand we have to bring those deficits down. And it's going to be difficult, hard for us to do. And the path to that is through health care reform,' [Treasury Secretary Timothy] Geithner said. 'We're not at the point yet where we're going to make a judgment about what it's going to take.'"


-- Philip Elliott, with the kind of news that makes this political-watcher stand up and applaud - Bravo! Bravo! Brilliant Performance! - because only the Democrats can get away with bringing the curtain down like this, with reviews by The Associated Press.



Yep, that's my boy!!!

This Is A Dog That Don't Hunt

"Barack Obama’s approval ratings have suffered major declines. The president’s overall job approval number fell from 61% in mid-June to 54% currently. His approval ratings for handling the economy and the federal budget deficit have also fallen sharply, tumbling to 38% and 32%, respectively. Majorities now say they disapprove of the way the president is handling these two issues. The new poll also finds significant declines over the last few months in the percentage of Americans giving Obama high marks for dealing with health care, foreign policy and tax policy."

-- The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press

Don't forget this article as you watch Obama's nose-dive, people:

It's a pre-election portrait of the "messiah" Americans hired to fix things - and our liberal media that chose not to better inform them.
