Obama Featured in Deeds TV Ad: “Get Fired Up (Again),” Virginia

Please Virginia.
Send a strong and clear message to Obama.
His idea of change is not what we had in mind. High taxes, reckless spending, corporate welfare, government takeover and power grabs–tell them
No More!!

Posted by: millie
the american electorate in 2008 disagreed..you remember them, more commonly known as voters

Deeds might have better luck if he promises some “Obama Money” handouts from the stimulus.
The lure of Obama Money drew a pretty big crowd in Detroit.
When will the O-Bots wake up.

Yeah, I am thinking this will backfire.

Wonder if he looses will it bounce on them.

“Refundable Tax Credits” are not tax cuts and, as everyone now knows, they do nothing to benefit the economy. They are simply short-term transfer payments, and they have spent their force even as unemployment has climbed to 9.8%.
Men are dying in Afghanistan while this hapless tyro dithers. Now ther’s something we can all get fired up about.

Hi Jake,
I’m just curious why you think ABC & Fox News are not different… I find them very very very different (I watch ABC and try very hard never to stop on Fox.

Kim- did Jake say ABC and Fox are “not different”?

“Good. This is a referendum on Our President. Remember this election night when msm analysts insist it wasn’t.”

Are you including the NJ governor’s race in that and the upstate special election in a traditionally Republican district too? Or just cherry picking Virgina, which is strongly polling for a Republican win?

You mean the tax increases put in place under the Republican administration? Yeah, that’s all Obama’s fault I suppose.
And what is your explanation for the FACT that under the Republicans there were a number of tax cuts (taxes are lower than in almost a century now!) and we ended up with a quarter the job creation we had under Clinton’s modest tax increases, a banking collapse, a historic recession, and a MASSIVE increase in national debt handcuffing any efforts to deal with the recession. The national deficit was forecast by the CBO in January – before Obama took office and explicitly excluding any stimulus costs – to be $1.2 trillion (feel free to google it up, it’s documented reality). It’s amazing that it came in at only $1.4 even after $200 billion+ in tax relief and $500 billion in infrastructure and other spending in the stimulus.
Republicans can pass the buck all they want, but they are either responsible for the recession or incredibly incompetent to not prevent it.

====Ah, but did he acknowledge AT ALL that they were?==
Are you asking if he stopped beating his wife?
===He seems confused. But hey he can check out Media Matter’s “Jake Tapper can’t figure out how Fox News is different from ABC News?” which is chock full of links.
=============
Oh, so is Media Matters leading a campaign against Jake Tapper now? Do they have suggested talking points?

Deeds doesn’t deserve to be Virginia’s Governor.

MaoObama
Hee Heee Heee
That made my afternoon!
How dumb was it for Obama to send out a Maoist to try and shut down Fox News?
Mao didn’t like dissenters either.
In fact he executed them.
So either Obama/Dunn thought it was fine and normal for her to praise Mao in a speech to kids.
Or they thought no one would find out.
Sort of like Obama sitting in Wright’s church for 20 years.
Seemed fine until everyone found out.
MaoObama Heee Hee Heeeeee

Thanks for the lead MayBee . ..

????

Julie, Julie, Julie, Dunn did say they controlled the media, you really need to listen to what she says, not what Obama says she says. Glenn’s really on this one, maybe she will join Van Jones…….ya think? Don’t fool yourself, the real American people are onto Obama and his loser administration

Obama is going to make Deeds lose. He should have stayed out of it.

Obama….
The constant lying.
The staggering arrogance.
The dangerous narcissism.
The astounding incompetence.
Obama wants to put as much of the private economy under government control as possible to create his nanny state utopia where he is the boy king.
Let’s continue to stand strong against Obama in every way and get Congress out of the hands of Pelosi and Reid in 2010.
Obama is a smug, smirking con man. Nothing more

To Obama the good old days were when Independents bought his snakeoil.
I’m thinking many won’t do that again.
Hopefully enough to send MaObama back to Chicago in 2012.

“Dunn did say they controlled the media, you really need to listen to what she says, not what Obama says she says.”
____________________________________
I’ve listened to the quote and I’ve listened to Beck’s commentary – and Beck’s comments are close to meaningless . . .
I agree with MediaMatters’ take on the stituaion . . .
WorldNetDaily, followed by the Drudge Report and Fox Nation, falsely claimed that during a January 12 speech, White House communications director Anita Dunn boasted about the White House’s “control” over the media. In fact, Dunn was discussing the Obama campaign’s strategy for controlling the campaign’s message, not the media; moreover, her comments were made before Obama had taken office and before she became communications director.

“But the White House campaign appears to be backfiring. A number of mainstream journalists are reacting badly to the attempt to declare a journalistic organization off-limits. Why the negative reaction? Is it because of solidarity among reporters? A reflexive defense of freedom of the press? Secret sympathy for Fox?
None of the above. The real reason the White House campaign is backfiring is that it offends journalistic self-esteem.” (Don’t you think the folks at CNN just love being patted on the head by White House political operatives and told, “you’re a nice little news organization. Good boy!”)
Reminds me of Nixon and Agnew.

Thanks Julie nice try but we all have seen the video where Anita Dunn clearly explains how they controlled the media “without having to actually talk to reporters”. They want to get their message out without having to answer questions or explain themselves or be accountable to the American people and the slobbering media let them get away with it. Mao would be proud indeed.

So Julie is Mao one of your favorite philosophers too? Are you looking forward to the reeducation camps or the persecution of writers and educators etc.?

I’m from Chicago. We don’t want him back under ANY circumstances. The man is a disgrace.

I’m from Chicago too and you can stop talking like you represent a majority here. Let me guess, you got your tea party memo this morning that things aren’t really going you’re way so you decided to drop in and do the inflating numbers thing. Eyeroll.

“Are you looking forward to the reeducation camps or the persecution of writers and educators etc.?”

Again, the same fear and smear tactics from the repressive right – do you not have anything else to offer?

If the United States needed an enema Chicago is where they’d stick the hose. I’m shocked anyone would even admit they are from Chicago. Chicago is so corrupt there is a whole musical about how corrupt they are. I’m still baffled why we elected a politician from there when Illinois and Chicago is so screwed up. Maobama and all of his Chicago crook cronies are going to do for America exactly what they have done for Illinois and Chicago. Drugs, gangs, murder corruption and the worst schools in the nation.

Yeah LOL you have no answer to the clear video where Anita Dunn is caught RED handed like ACORN or BO in his own words that he cant or never intended to live up to. So cute…

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -13.
It was +30 a mere nine months ago. My goodness, what a disappointment he’s been. Now barely a quarte of the electorate–yokels and serfs, one and all–strongly suppot him.

“According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Tuesday the president’s approval rating remains in the healthy mid-50s.
“And two-thirds of Americans say he has the personal qualities a president should have.”
So much for your ‘yokels and serfs’ insult.

“And when obama didn’t like Joe The Plumber, he directed his henchmen/women to find out about his back taxes.”
What utter bs.
But not surprisingly you would say so.
Right wingers did not react well to finding out their hero was a complete fraud.

Ignore all this ACORN hysteria. It was totally fabricated by that discredited partisan news organization Fox News. And if any of you other news outlets try to pick up on this blasphemous story, then the Obama White House and government agencies will start targeting you with daily smears as well!
Listen only to news sources who receive the Robert Gibbs seal of approval. Accept no substitutes, Comrades.

Ah. Another alien from an alternate plane of reality who watches movies about Al Capone and a couple Faux News clips and thinks he knows where’s it at. The United States needed an enema and we inserted the hose at the GOP. Hence, the feeling of urgency of your ilk, and the ongoing, ahem, emptying of the lower intestinal tract.
But bygones. I love Chicago. It’s beautiful, fun and diverse. I love it– although I do intend to retire to a warmer climate in a few decades.

I’m fired up alright but it ain’t for Deeds or Democrats!

…Fascist Hyena still cites a study by some polisci TA that has the “final” results of the 2008 as 52% to 46% therefore making Rasmussen the “most accurate” pollster even though Pew had the same result.
Of course the results were actually 53 to 46…
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hi Ryan. Check out who actually did the best.
Since the Rasmussen results (and Fascist) deal with the ‘spread’ let’s see how they did in the 2008 election.
Obama / McCain / Spread – Poll
52.9 / 45.6 / 7.3 – Final Results
53 / 46 / 7 – CNN/Opinion Research
53 / 46 / 7 – Ipsos/McClatchy
50 / 43 / 7 – FOX News
52 / 46 / 6 – Pew Research
52 / 46 / 6 – Rasmussen Reports
It looks like Rasmussen came in 5th place. Interestingly, they were behind FOX news. And, CNN and Ipsos nailed the ‘final results’…and the ‘spread’.

“Fascist Hyena still cites a study by some polisci TA…”
I am not aware of any study by a poli sci teaching assistant. Here is the person whose study I cite:
Dr. Costas Panagopoulos is Assistant Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for Electoral Politics and Democracy and the graduate program in Elections and Campaign Management at Fordham University. He is also research associate at the Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale University, where he completed a postdoctoral fellowship in 2006. Dr. Panagopoulos previously founded and directed the Master’s Program in Political Campaign Management in the Department of Politics at New York University. Dr. Panagopoulos, a leading expert on campaigns and elections, voting behavior, public opinion, and campaign finance, was part of the Decision Desk team at NBC News during the 2006 election cycle. A former candidate for the Massachusetts State Legislature in 1992, Dr. Panagopoulos also offers courses on campaign management and strategy, message development, and political communication.

“Dr. Costas Panagopoulos is Assistant Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for Electoral Politics and Democracy and the graduate program in Elections and Campaign Management at Fordham University.”
ROFLMAO!
All those “qualifications” yet he used bogus numbers for his “analysis” which Rasmussen links to as evidence of their accuracy.
So you have an incompetent professor but that doesn’t matter to Rasmussen because his work is useful for marketing.

…according to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Tuesday. A majority, 51 percent, disagree…

Very Impressive Fascist! Consider this the 1st step in your 12 step program towards recovery as a right-wing-aholic. Normally, the 1st step would be to actually admit that you are one, but that is an unrealistic goal at this point in your rehabilitation.
So, now that we’re looking at one of the most reliable polling sources, what do you say about the CNN/Opinion Research Corp. ‘President Job Approval’ numbers, and how they compare to the ‘issues important to them’ poll.
It is 55% approve and 43% disapprove.
What do you think is going on there?

For my first step, I shall elect to quote once more, verbatim, from CNN:
“For the first time since Obama took office, fewer than half of Americans agree with the president on issues important to them, according to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Tuesday. A majority, 51 percent, disagree — a jump of 10 percentage points since April.”
I realize that it pains the yokels to read such undisputed facts, but got educational purposes I shall continue to present them. Learn to deal with the pain; it will make you stronger.

Yes, I understood that, and I agree with the choice of pollster and pool.
What I am wondering, is why we seem to have a contradiction in the CNN/Opinion Research Corp. polls.
This is because in an Oct 16 to Oct 18 poll of 1,038 Adults, 55% vs 43% approve of the job the President is doing.
So the question is this: What does it mean when?…
1) 51% “disagree with the President on issues important to them”, but
2) 55% ‘approve of the job he is doing’, and
3) 45% ‘disagree with the job he is doing’.
Do you have a hunch what this means?
