I am still waiting for the liberal hypocrites to start bitching about obama and the Gas Prices. Of course, they won't because they are in love with Obama. The hypocrites will start screaming when there is a republican president is in office. You watch, the tides will turn really quick.

AP Poll says Obama benefitting:

"Thirty percent in the poll describe the economy as "good," a 15-point increase since December and the highest level since the AP-GfK poll first asked the question in 2009. Roughly the same share say the economy got better in the past month, while 18 percent said it got worse, the most positive read in over a year.
Looking ahead, four in 10 said they expect the economy to get better in the next year and a third said they think the number of unemployed people in the U.S. will decrease, the highest share on either question since last spring. A quarter of those surveyed said they expect the economy to get worse over the next 12 months, while 31 percent said it would stay the same, the poll found.
As optimism has risen, Obama has received a corresponding bump in his approval rating for handling the economy. Forty-eight percent now say they approve of how he's handling it, up 9 points from December."

Michigan goes to Obama, thanks to successful auto-industry bailout:

"Obama still owns a commanding lead in Michigan. According to the latest polls in the state, Obama stands comfortably ahead of Republican front-runners Mitt Romney, by an average of 14 percentage points, and Rick Santorum, by almost 25 points. "
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/michig ... 2012-02-27

Obama is ahead of Romney (and rest of GOP field) in one of the mmajor swing-states:

"Obama wins the support of 47 percent of registered voters surveyed to Romney's 43, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll.
The survey marks a turnaround for the president. A Dec. 21 poll by Quinnipiac showed Romney edging Obama 44 percent to 42.
'For the first time since Quinnipiac University began polling Virginia voters on the race, President Barack Obama holds a razor-thin lead over Gov. Mitt Romney," said Quinnipiac University Polling Institute Assistant Director Peter A. Brown in a release.'"

The UK Telegraph says Obama stands 6 points ahead of all GOP rivals:

"The US president now stands at least six percentage points clear of each man who may be his opponent in November's election, according to the New York Times/CBS News poll. A month ago he was tied with Mr Romney, the Republican front-runner.
The proportion of voters who approve of Mr Obama's performance has meanwhile climbed to 50 per cent for the first time since May 2010 – excluding a brief spike after the killing of Osama bin Laden last May – in a development that will greatly encourage the White House."

Ron Pauls struggles In Georgia, a state he must win... in the whopping single-digits:

"The same enthusiasm for Paul was there in 2008, when Paul also ran for president, yet he finished a distant fourth in the Georgia primary. This year, he again trails — polls show him in single digits — in the race for Georgia’s March 6 primary, but his supporters hope their influence in the state won’t end March 6. "
"As of today, Paul has won 18 delegates nationally, compared with 105 for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, 71 for former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum and 29 for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich."
http://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-politic ... 64339.html

Politico says Obama currently tops all GOP contenders:

"President Barack Obama’s approval rating is 53 percent, up 9 percentage points in four months. Matched up against his Republican opponents, he leads Mitt Romney by 10 points (53-43) and Rick Santorum by 11 (53-42). Even against a generic, unnamed Republican untarnished by attacks, Obama is up 5 percentage points. In November, he was tied."
"Rick Santorum, who is essentially the new kid on the block, has a favorable image with a plurality of the electorate (39% favorable to 36% unfavorable), but the other three Republican candidates are “upside down” with their unfavorable image exceeding their favorable image with the overall electorate. The candidates who have been in the national spotlight longer – Gingrich (26% favorable to 62% unfavorable) and Romney (38% favorable to 51% unfavorable) – have actually reached a majority unfavorable rating while Ron Paul (30% favorable to 46% unfavorable) holds a plurality unfavorable rating. The bottom line being, this is a trend that must be reversed before the general election if Republicans expect to be truly competitive in the fall in the Presidential election"

This guy has a pretty good handle on RoPaul. It's an opinion piece, but that's pretty much all joe posts anymore:

"
His hostile anti-government libertarian philosophy appeals to millions of voters, because it appears ostensibly to empower the individual.

“Once a government embarks on this notion that they can protect you from yourself, then there is no liberty left,” Paul said during his speech on campus Saturday.
On the contrary, Paul has penned legislation every bit as directive and dangerous as the tyrannical federal government he purports to fight. There is a name for Paul’s less conventional tyranny. It’s called court-stripping.
By emasculating the federal court system up to and including the Supreme Court, Paul’s strategy allows for individual state governments to restrict civil liberties at will and without federal remedy. Rather than protecting civil liberties, Paul’s court-stripping subjects them to the whims of fervently partisan legislators and to the tyranny of the majority in the polling booth."
http://www.cm-life.com/2012/02/27/colum ... dangerous/

Yep. Pretty much dead-on. Doesn't matter, though. RoPaul's candidacy is little more than a sliver of the population's buy-in to the notion that each of them is ruler of all of them. It's nothing more than a curiousity, and politically serves only to further split the conservative vote. Thanks, Ron!

Only a member of the "Obama gives me shivers up my leg" crowd would even try to gloat about a bunch of poll ratings that are below 50%.

You will vote for Santorum in the primary and then be first in line to vote for Obama. I bet you voted for Jimmy Carter both times as well.

Yes, that's exactly the plan. No kidding. I learned it from Rush Limbaugh in 2008 Dem primaries. I want the most whacked-out guy I can get to go up against Obama. Obama beats Santorum by a country mile in an election.

I was too young to vote for Carter.

Gas prices are high, nobody's denying that. Fox News and the radio shows are all about it, that's for sure... because they have little else to use as a weapon. Prices just haven't hit record highs, yet.
Your media is hurting... they're pushing 40 yr old issues like birth control to try and excite the Religious Right, and it's failing miserably. The Trans-Vaginal Ultrasound Law was a perfect example. You can't go around claiming government over-reach and then write a law that forces women to get something shoved up their hoo-hah. We're looking at the last flailings of the Tea Party, they're all but finished, and so is talkshow conservatism. All they ever accomplished was inaction and gridlock in D.C., and the obvious dilution of the conservative vote. Thanks, TP-ers!
BTW, if you keep posting Newsbusters blogs, I get to post HuffPo and MoJo. Fair is fair.

That's because it's the truth. The "ranting troll" has been keeping you on a very short leash. You're nearly unable to rant and/or troll lately.
You're welcome, Rockpage.

I'm not a fan of our President, but there's nothing he can do about gas prices. The high prices in 08 weren't Bush's fault, and the current high prices aren't Obama's fault.

Home prices are now devalued to levels in 2002.

But the delusional paranoid ranting troll will still tell you the economy is doing great and Obomunism deserves another 4 years of terror.

That would be fine with me, but gloating over that is also something that only a member of the "Obama gives me shivers up my leg" crowd would do.

The only part of your body that might be feeling a bit weird from striking something would be your arm from patting yourself on the back.

I think I deserve that pat on the back. The Braintrust is against the ropes, and all you can do is sputter in futility, and post a few blogs.
I don't mind you calling someone "the Obama gives me shivers up my leg crowd." It's only seems derogatory to other wing-nuts... to the majority of folks, it's just sour grapes and impotent anger. Don't cry, Emo-wolf. There's always 2016.

Funny, I am not even in a ring; however, if there was to be a battle of brains between us, you would be unarmed.

All I am bothering to do is illustrate that, despite your amusing denials, you are nothing but a member of the "Obama gives me shivers up my leg." crowd.

...oh, an "Obama gives me shivers up my leg" delusional ranting troll at that!

It doesn't excuse the fact that your media, MSNBC, and the like, had 4 times more stories about gas prices for Bush than for Obama. Why is that? They are covering up for him. Face facts, your media, MSNBC and the like, are biased and are covering up for Obama. I can guarantee that if there was a Republican President in office, you would be seeing the witch hunts and cries for his head big time.

Where are your sources that the conservative media, not my media, (you don't know what my media is) is hurting? Show me proof, and it better not be MSNBC, your main source of information. Unlike you, I am a true independent, and like to see facts and more than one source of information to form my own opinion. And not a conservative or liberal in sheeps clothing. You are a liberal in sheeps clothing.

I know, it is quite humerous. lol.

On another note: I am watching MSNBC and they, Al Sharpton, are referring to Mitt Romney as Willard Romney. That is his real name, but they are using it as a means of disrespect. I bet they would be thinking different if someone was doing that to Obama.

My main complaint about the media is how childish they are. There is no fair play in any of it anymore. It is nothing but stupid people doing and saying stupid things. Saying something for one, but the other. Rallying for one and not the other. Covering up for one, but not the other. No wonder less people are watching the news and reading newspapers.

You don't want to vote for Romney because you know he has a chance of beating Obam. You are scared to death of Obama losing. You know it. You got the idea to vote for Santorum from MSNBC. They been broadcasting it for days now. They too are afraid of Romney.

As for Carter, you probably begged your parents to vote for him.

Mit Romney won both Arizona and Michigan last night. I bet Johnny is very afraid now. He is getting closer to being the nominee, and closer to beating Obama. Johnny better run and hide in his closet, or better yet, under his bed.

I didn't watch the MSNBC commentary on it last night. I wish I would have though, I could have used a good laugh. Did anyone see it? If so, how much crying were they doing? They been pushing Santorum. Not because they want him to win, but because they claim he is the one who has the least likely chance of beating Obama.
