Class Warfare Blowback: Majority Of Americans Want Obama Out

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The ever-eloquent populist-in-chief has just turned an important corner.  It seems that the clear class warfare escapades he has been engaging in recently have backfired as, according to a poll by Associated Press-GfK, a majority of adults, 52 percent, said Obama should be voted out of office while 43 percent said he deserves another term. This confirms the report from the previous Gallup poll, that our President heads into election year with a significant problem: "Heading into his re-election campaign, the president faces a conflicted public. It does not support his steering of the economy, the most dominant issue for Americans, or his overhaul of health care, one of his signature accomplishments..." While understandably the party preferences bias for and against, it is the Independents that must be the greater concern as "The president's standing among independents is worse: Thirty-eight percent approve while 59 percent disapprove." Given the fact that its-the-economy-stupid, we wonder just how long the entirely independent and sacrosanct Federal Reserve will remain on the sidelines, or is QE3 coming Jan 1st?

 

From TIME magazine article: Poll: Obama Re-Election Odds About 50-50

 

The economy remains a source of pessimism, though the poll suggests the first positive movement in public opinion on the economy in months. One in five said the economy improved in the last month, double the share saying so in October. Still most expect it to stay the same or get worse.

 

"I suppose you could make some sort of argument that it's getting better, but I'm not sure I even see that," said independent voter John Bailey, a 61-year-old education consultant from East Jordan, Mich. "I think it's bad and it's gotten worse under (Obama's) policies. At best, it's going to stay bad."

 

Despite the high rate of joblessness, the poll found some optimism on the economy. Although 80 percent described the economy as "poor," respondents describing it "very poor" fell from 43 percent in October to 34 percent in the latest poll, the lowest since May. Twenty percent said the economy got better in the past month while 37 percent said they expected the economy to improve next year.

 

Yet plenty of warning signs remain for Obama. Only 26 percent said the United States is headed in the right direction while 70 percent said the country was moving in the wrong direction.

 

The president won a substantial number of female voters in 2008 yet there does not appear to be a significant tilt toward Obama among women now. The poll found 44 percent of women say Obama deserves a second term, down from 51 percent in October, while 43 percent of men say the president should be re-elected.

 

About two-thirds of white voters without college degrees say Obama should be a one-term president, while 33 percent of those voters say he should get another four years. Among white voters with a college degree, 57 percent said Obama should be voted out of office.

 

The poll found unpopularity for last year's health care overhaul. About half of the respondents oppose the health care law and support for it dipped to 29 percent from 36 percent in June. Just 15 percent said the federal government should have the power to require all Americans to buy health insurance.

 

Even among Democrats, the health care law has tepid support. Fifty percent of Democrats supported the health care law, compared with 59 percent of Democrats last June. Only about a quarter of independents back the law.

Who is president matters not (sorry, I like RP but this stuff is structural and a "democracy" won't choose to discipline itself)...Time will come soon for a knock down, drag out kerfuffle over who owns this country, it's resources, it's money, it's justice system, it's government.  AR's highly recommended (the more who have them lowers the likelihood they'll ever be needed).

BTW - I voted for big O as couldn't imagine a bigger prick than Bush 2 (big O is now my worst nightmare)...vote was pre-awakening that party politics are all diversion for the real thieves

I see you put on the sunglasses and can now see.

I did the same thing a few years back after voting for this loser while holding my nose. Although, I doubt much would be any better, and perhaps even worse, with John McCain (National Defense Authorization Act sponsor) and Clueless Palin in office in his place.

I'm betting on nothing changing without this entire political/economic bus crashing into the wall or flying over the cliff. Then we can rebuild, but I see nothing to indicate it will change under its own accord.

I will also confess to voting for hope and change.  Bad move.  Went for intelligence over the douche/ignorance ticket.  RP is really my only viable option now, although I am a little concerned about an attempt to make a 180 degree turn with this behemoth.  Willing to give it a try, however...

All of you are fucking idiots and should not be allowed to vote ever again.

Muhcane WAS the better choice.

why, you ask...Trav, I thought u told the truth, I thought you said that wooden indian motherfuckin Hanoi John was a complete loser?

Well, yes, he is...but had Muhcane been in there, the MSM would have relentlessly hounded the wars as part of their partisan politics, like they did with Busch.  When NeO was killing civilians at 10:1 to "insurgents," they fell completely silent.  They just went along with it.  There was no difference in bailouts or anything else between the two candidates, only in the treatment of their actions by the MSM. 

Muhcane would have wanted to assassinate American Citizens as well but the MSM would have called ANYTHING HE DID out as detestable because he is in the GOP.  And so there's likely odds some of this would have stopped or never have happened or at least been delayed or KNOWN by the average person who has no fucking clue what the fuck is going on.

Yeah right. The MSM gave Bush an absolute free ride because they didn't want to look like bullies picking on the retarded kid. It would have been the same with McLame. They'd have given him a free ride because he was a POW and he's old and getting senile.

Maybe you shouldn't vote again as your own analysis isn't as good as you think it is.

Still, I dont regret my vote for obammy for one second when I start tripping out on the bizzaro fantasy that McAge might have died in office, and then we would have had palin in the Office of the President.

*That* is what allows me to forgive myself for my barack vote.  No matter what, I could not let that brain-dead lady near the Oval Office.

No, Obama isn't brain-dead. He's cautious and coming from the Senate he wanted to be a consensus builder. As laid out, the ARRA act (aka the stimulus act) was actually a very good first step, even though it was too cautious, and by the time it came out of Congress, it had become too much of a porkbarrel project. TARP, in its initial form, was a necessary evil, but he them made the mistake of assuming that Geithner and Bernanke actually understood what needed to be done. That's about the time that Obama became captured. He embarked on health care reform at a bad time, politically and economically, and that mistake cost him the House and significantly weakened the Dems in the Senate.

Since then, he's been politically neutered. The global economy has been circling around a drain, and ironically his whole existence right now is in trying to keep the status quo intact, because the alternative is economic collapse. The reality is that the economy needs to collapse, and likely will collapse next year, because there's simply too many stressors acting on it, too much bad policy and too much risk in the system, and that system is now transitioning (relatively smoothly) to a lower energy state.

Had McCain become president, he would be dead from a heart attack within a year, Sarah Palin would have become president, and we would be on the brink of war with most of the rest of the world by now (assuming that the Pentagon didn't stage a coup prior to that, which I actually would have bet on).

I'm not trying to defend Obama here - I think he made some bad judgments in his attempt to do what was popular vs. what was right, and some of those disturb me because Obama isn't brain dead.  I am saying that until you find yourself in the position of having to make those same decisions, declaring some one else a moron is far easier than living with the consequences of those decisions.

Agreed- the result w/ McCain or Big O was really going to be all the same...just optics and social issues utilized to pretend there is a difference.

Voting now is a joke.  I'll vote for RP, donate to RP but the reality is his chance of getting the nomination is ever so slight, his chance of winning the general is ever so slight, his chance of enacting changes in government through congress to even begin fixing the country, economy...almost astronomical.

Real change will come when we no longer agree to be governed by an illegitimate "democratically" elected government run of the few, by the few, for the few.  We must enter this negotiation from a point of strength...AR's highly recommended.

It does matter, because the president can steer the direction of the collapse. When it call goes "boom," would you rather have a president say "ok, this is a disaster, it's in the hands of you, your neighbors, your town gov't and the local sheriff" or "this happened because the 50% of the country who are working are terrorists stealing from you poor folks that can't find a job. As of today, I am dissolving congress and implementing my nationalization plan to get your money back from the terrorists, and ordering the immediate arrest and assignment to reducation camps of all owners of non-sanctioned businesses."

Frankly I want RP to toss the keys back to our local governments, I'll take my chances with someone I can actually talk to.

I am a voluntaryist with low time preference.

First we restore the Constitution with the help of Ron Paul. Then we educate folks as to why it is never appropriate to force another person to do anything against his own interest and his own will. We educate people to understand that safety and security can be provided more effectively through a voluntary market rather than through giving an elite class the right to use violence against the rest of us.

Eventually we can achieve true liberty at least in some parts of the nation and the world. Those who want to continue under the whip of the elites and live under government will still have that opportunity and those who wish to live freely will final be availed of that right.

I can agree with much of that, but I doubt those with wealth and power will agree with it as easily, nor would they allow it. If people start to move in that direction you can bet those vested interests who have wealth and power due to this system will move to stop it.

That's when people will get scared when they realize they have to make it on their own since the entirety of the power structure, both public AND private have spend countless hours, money and resources ensuring the populace stays scared and dependent upon them. We may be close to seeing such things happen in the world soon enough.

I dont like obama but I am glad to see one dissenting opinion.

I am not sure if obama got his way that things would be better. Most of the stimulus went into things that would have no long term stimulatory effect so i certainly dont want more of that.

This is america and it was never supposed to be a high tax cradle to grave welfare state. And I fear his supreme court nominees are all believers in government solutions and flexible constitutions, giving more authority for the government to regulate our lives.

He wont do anything about regulatory overkill harming economic productivity except to say republicans want people to drink dirty water.

Obamas wife " for the first time" was proud of america, told the french presidents wife she hates being first lady, and they are both so far from mainstream american values it is easy to understand why people think he is a foreigner.

Obama is a nice guy. I love it that he has said americans are lazy and entitled, but his marxist leanings wont allow him to draw the logical pilicy responses from his statement about lazy entitled americans.

The republicans may not be good for much, but at least they will practice slash and burn methods to the federal budget. I believe the tea party, for all its faults, can slash the government and entitlements.

I will vote for anybody but obama

You helped elect a fucking egomaniac who can't string two sentences together without his teleprompter and can't walk by a mirror without looking at himself. A "constitutional law professor" who blubbers on about "negative rights". Thnk about that concept. What and who's rights is/was he talking about?

He's talking about being a statist. And how the Constitution and the Bill of Rights restricts government action. Not the peoples.

I'm coloring you clueless & "Hopeless".

I told my son three years ago...the time will come when those who voted for O'Bama will go through the five stages of grief.

Most here are smart enough and got to stage five way before the masses. Sometime last year by my recollection.

The problem is always the choices given to us. This can be overcome at the grassroots level and takes time. One party can be taken over or both parties can have sizeable portions shaved off to form a new party to realign the two old parties. The option of a third party is off the table (for me) for this cycle.

This puke has to go. He is directionless, alternating between monarch-in-chief and pacifist...between Chicago crony capitalist and Santa Claus. He is what was presented by the old line media if you think about it...a complete blank slate. Everyone could write or think what they wanted of him. But with that, he is also bereft of ideas or any emotion for the country. He is only for himself.

You should understand, I'm not "native" to the GOP. In fact the opposite considering my lineage. But it is the one most closely aligned with my principles, if not in past deeds, in the words. I know there are those in the other party who have the same principles. They are sickened by a Bwaney Fwank as much as I am of a Hank Paulson.

Accountability, responsibility and truth is whats lacking. And everyone with eyes sees it now.

Its a good day ;-)

Gun rights & taxation is what made me change alliance. I have no use for a group of people (a party) who think they alone have the wisdom of Solomon.

On guns, they made a decision (as a group) to demonize an inanimate object. The people who used the object for evil are excused by them for thier actions. They had a bad childhood. Or the "man" did this to them, somehow made them do it. An entire cottage industry of lies & deciet grows up around this concept of a thing, composed of wood & metal, as evil and therefore cannot serve a useful purpose.

But the knife and baseball bat are exempt. I would point out there was never a proposed waiting period on cars or highly flammable liquids either. All potentially lethal. All can be used for good or evil.

On taxation, a decision was made that the state is the best dispenser of earnings. Not the individual. How could it not be otherwise when the citizen is subjected to a barrage of emotional appeals to allow the state to steal more of an individuals labor? Even with the track record of nations down through the centuries of mismanagement, incompetence, graft and corruption at the highest levels as a backdrop, somehow this idea of the angelic statist utopia lives on among the learned upper crust.

They construct tax law that largely exempts themselves. They "earn" their wages through capital gains, stock options & dividends while saying others are not paying their "fair share". The falsity of this particular emotional appeal finally manifested itself to all with the ridiculous admonition that 250k at the individual level is rich. Thats how out of touch they have become. They don't even understand the spider web of a tax code they have created for everyone else to try and follow.

Meanwhile, the "law givers", exempt themselves from insider trading and then pass the law that they front run the market on for their own profit. Then to add insult to injury, they vote themselves a raise for a job well done. They try to convince the untalented, who has zero passion and drive, that a four year degree in art will translate into untold riches. They lock up the ponzi-man for doing the very thing they themseves do. Apparently, for practicing a ponzi without a license.

This is the statist utopia.

As if CHANGING out Obama for the next bought and paid for shill from the Rethuglican party (Paul excluded) will matter.

The system has become corrupted at its core and changing the CEO will not matter. The mob will be tired of the kid a few months into 2012 unless drastic changes are made. The bankers and owners will not allow their minions to make those changes. Also, they will not allow someone to be elected who isn't owned by them.

Sorry folks, the sheep will actually have to make these changes themselves without throwing all of the responsibility on the president. Don't expect the slave owners to give up easily either, they didn't in the 1860's.

If the process is;

1.  Ignore him

2.  Make fun of him (and supporters)

3.  Fight him

4.  RP wins

It would seem that step 1 got a lot of play.  

Step 3 seems to be going full throttle now...what happened to step 2?  

I only saw a few whimpers of step 2.  At step 4 it would be entertaining to shovel all that stuff from step 2 backward.  

Ok, it would be entertaining but it would'nt really be productive.  Too much other really serious stuff going on.  But it was fun to think about.

I do believe RP's prescription begins to attack the system and believe in his intentions...I just don't believe he'll be allowed to walk in and begin reconstructing America's economy, tax system, credit/money creation.  This takes a mighty strong mandate to attempt.

Of course tax cuts create jobs. Not only that but they create free sector jobs which produce desired goods and services. The government levies taxes because no one would willingly pay for the "services" it offers.

I've about had it with this bit of Keynesian nonsense.

"Republicans can't say tax cuts create jobs in the US."

Reducing a cash flow operation...which is what O'Bama Social Security tax cuts does...does not create jobs. Why does he want to do it that way? Why not Federal Taxation instead of FICA?

Do you dispute that the government is broke and that the "trust fund" is in a cash flow position supplemented by debt issuance? The "savings" it claims are in the form of non-marketable intra-government bonds. There is no "savings". There can't be if the government is broke. (This was proven, by Geithner, in the last budget "crisis". Without more debt issuance everything defaults).

Thus, by O'Bama decreasing the cash flow into the "trust fund" he is driving toward a goal.

Now what could that possibly be?

You want to abolish those recent freedom destroying laws fine, you want to do a greatclean up, fine and good.

The solution to our national problem has to begin at the municipal level of government.  We will never build a cohesive voting base that will elevate the capable(fiscally, and constitutionally responsible) to higher office until we educate a majority of local voters who understand the problem in the first place.  Every politician that runs for office promises to bring home the bacon, myself excluded.  I knew my state(Illinois) is bankrupt and pledged to solve the problems that I could control without federal and state funding.  You know,  the neighbor that has the loud parties, disrespectful children,  trashy yard, etc.  My state representative and state senator have been all about bringing home that bacon, whether the local request is frivolous or not.  These people usually run for higher office after successfully bringing home said bacon.  What is wrong with that picture?  I think you know,  but never realized the error in your thinking.  You need not look any further than your own congressman or senator's political history to figure that out.

Fix things?  What am I?  Santa Claus's returns department? 

As my father taught me when I was 4; "Sometimes if you mistreat things badly enough, they break, and stay that way."

The founders made it very clear, the freedom plan only works with an involved, informed citizenry.  Well, that citizenry obviously is staring into a water trough, and doesn't want to drink.

The closest thing I can come to a suggestion to fixing things is electing Ron Paul, but the point of my initial post is that clearly the majority is so throughly domesticated into idiocracy that even if Paul somehow got elected, its still pushing agaisnt the tide.

Hence my roads comment.  OR to quote the dolphins

I could go on and on about trust, layers of trust, and the need to define trust for oneself, standards of trust. . .

but I'll just say, your "trust no man, trust no number produced by man" is a great start, to which I would add "trust no system devised by man, particularly one based on the need to believe in that which is not apparent, or even real". . .

removing all trust in the systems proffered, all trust, leaves your integrity intact, allows for strength in person and mind - until people begin with that, the systems will continue to exist simply because they are believed in.

integrity (uncountable)

  1. Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code.
  2. The state of being wholesome; unimpaired
  3. The quality or condition of being complete; pure

that run up into the 1800's was fun to watch, but i knew the repercussions would be bad......and so they have been. but as yamada has said, we are overdue for some back filling and strengthening and preperation for the next big move ........maybe over 2000 next time, before the correction. who knows....

I picked up more physical at the 1560 level myself, and I had planned to buy periodically all the way to the bottom. But it looks like that 1560 level may be the floor.

are you absolutely sure you want ron paul.   let me be blunt.  if we get a guy like ron paul, you will get a guy who will never sugar coat anything. it is against his nature. therefore a vote for ron paul will cause massive and i do mean massive losses in the markets and a world wide deflationary collapse ........yep , i promise you the banks , like they did with hoover, will cause a major finanical collapse.......and then blame it on ron paul.........but , it has to happen one way or the other. i just hope people realize, they are not just voting for a nice man, a honest man. no they are voting for a sudden and violent financial collapse and if we can handle that , then fine, but it doesn't really matter does it?  it will happen with whoever is in office.  ?  will the lazy amerikans understand all of this and reason it all out?   not yet ......but nevertheless is is hip to say i want ron paul. it is stylish.  i really don't think most of the leftist and anarchist and many of the people who fall in line with the ron paul bandwagon have any idea what it means by libertarian politics......:)

there are many many things that are covered in the words you speak.   most amerikans will not like it nor want it and will do anything and everything they can to avoid it.  

 

i was at the dollar store today to get some stuff and the clerk was complaining about shoplifting.  i said you wait as time goes by, it will only get worse.  i am not sure how many stores will be able to stay in business.  i told her, can you just imagine . every smore store and every supermarket will have loss prevention specialist watching monitors in the back and chasing fat mexicans out in the parking lot , because they stole something without paying for it?  man the shit is going to get real bad soon...........and that is just the start. to wit, the amount of poor people in this country now and we are still at about supposedly about 90 percent employment.  God help us.......

HPD, it's true that Ron Paul's way, if implemented, will mean almost immediate pain. But at least, to some extent, the pain will be controlled. The thing is, the pain is inevitable, no matter who is elected next. A serious global cataclysm is already guaranteed. Bank on that. But, if it doesn't happen before the next election, and RP is elected, he'll take the blame. That's what sucks. We're going through the collapse no matter what. The bond markets will see to that sooner than later. But with RP at least we control the timing, and perhaps mitigate the destruction. Otherwise, the market determines the timing and in the meantime, the fools in charge will continue to multiply the damage.

Damned if we do, damned if we don't, but if I go down, I'd at least like to go down swinging.

Ron Paul 2012

i think ron paul is such a viable candidate mainly because the other candidates suck so badly...........and besides the left , right paradigm is beginning to wear thin, not to mention now, the blogs , and alternative news sources on the web.....all of these things help a guy like ron paul. he is correct. he has been the same for 30 years. but to play the devil's advocate here what has he done for the last 30 years? can anyone name one bill he has authored and gotten passed during all of that time , about anything remotely resembling his libertarian belief systems?

and let us not forget. libertarianism was started by one world order , european jews as discussed by kapner in the above link...........now having said that, one must always understand, that as lenin said one time. in order to control a argument, you must be on both sides of the argument. a long and never ending jewish method to control the idiots..........perhaps ron paul has many jews in his organization. if he does, and i am sure that he does, i promise you, his entire program is already and completely infiltrated and i assure you, this does not help you or i or any thinking american , one damn bit.........

 

his son, is already bought and paid for by the jewish lobby.......ron paul has stated that if he loses this race any and all monies he has acccumulated will immediately go to the reelection campaign of his son, a traitor to these american states........

uh...why do people think the 50s were the way they were...that whites just hate people with tans?

No, they didn't want thefts and crime.

African cabbies who are fresh off the boat figure this out quickly in places like NYC or DC.  They can eliminate nearly ALL of their risk of getting murdered by effectively putting "whites and asians only" on their cabs.

So the answer is you tell them "you're not wanted here, go shop elsewhere."  It sucks that the half of black men who aren't on probation, parole, or in prison have to suffer for the actions of the other half, but perhaps they should point the finger of blame at those who are responsible instead of those who are just trying to make their way through life without trouble.

These silly fantasies we have about equality are tenable only in times of plenty.  Abundance is when you can indulge wasteful things like this.  When scarcity comes, you don't let your brat kid not finish his plate.  Things which you could afford in times of plenty get squelched right quickly.  Tolerating the intransigence and antisociality of colored minorities is one of the things that will most quickly go by the wayside.

but but but, we were told that integration to achieve racial diversity was a good thing. but throwing races together never works and it has not worked this time either.  the excuse was, well we shall put all of the black students with the white students and therefore this will help the black students to be better achievers. but the exact opposite thing took place. what happened was that the white students suffered and their scholastic performances suffered greatedly because of this madness.  and whose idea was all of this?  well it sure wasn't people with last names like smith and jones...... seperation was always a better thing for so many reasons.......all of this garbage started not long after i got out of high school in 1969........now my high school is totally ghetto and is insafe to be around even in the day time......right in my own damn neighborhood in houston where i grew up and i lived most of my life.........and all of this..........because diversity makes us stronger..........bullshit it does.......

You're both completely wrong.  Want to know why your former high school is ghetto now?  Destruction of the social fabric by the 1%.  Communities and responsibility have been destroyed by economic warfare and you are staring at the remains.  Not to mention the gutting of the public school system by the government.  Nothing to do with the race of the people in attendance, how ignorant of you both...
