Tailspin: Obama’s numbers on economy reach new low in NBC/WSJ poll

It’s all about the narrative baby. And don’t think for a moment that Obama and his “posse” aren’t planning to ride this narrative all the way to a second term. Look at where the polling was before OBL was taken out—Obama’s domestic policies are a disaster, his foreign policies, a disaster with the middle east in more turmoil that at any other time. The facts are, this nation is still economically heading towards a fiscal breakdown with fuel and food prices soaring and millions still unemployed. Three quarters of the states are drowning in debt. Obama needed to change the national narrative that even his fawning liberal media had begun to use against him—a failing Presidency—and he was beginning to even lose some of his most trusted liberal base.

And the liberal media will play this narrative right up to election day, of this great change only Obama could have brought about. But, the death of Osama will not lower the price of gas consumers are fuming about, or the rising food prices, or find some one in this nation a job. It’s still the economy, stupid. And no media narrative will change that.

Obama has exhausted his theatrics and is incapable of solving the country’s real problems.

Solving? Was shutting down 90% of the coal, petroleum, and natural gas industries supposed to “solve” anything?

Does vilifying four billion in subsidies provided to small oil companies so they can remain competitive with “the big guys” “solve” anything while the media fails to point out flushing down the toilet $25 billion in government subsidies provided to ethanol, windmill and solar technology, (programs that will produce almost nothing for the next hundred years)

Did Obama and the Democrat’s dream legislation to provide national health care with sweetheart deals (bribes, payoffs, and money laundering) to pharmas, insurance companies, and lawyers “solve” anything with a thousand perpetual waivers? Any guess where these companies will send their campaign checks next year?

Did Obama and Pelosi’s $900 billion dollar stimulus/porkulus provided to every public sector/union entity, (more bribes, payoffs, and money laundering), “solve” anything other than a larger taxpayer debt? Did the private sector, (small businesses), receive their fair share? Any idea how much of this $900 billion will, or has already funneled into Democratic campaign coffers?

Did Obama’s “credit-card flaw” during his 2008 campaign end up transferring millions into his account, (more bribes, payoffs, and money laundering), “solve” Obama’s promise of transparency, or an honest and open campaign?

I would submit that the only thing Obama has “solved” is the question of whether a complicit media will continue painting this Marxist/Socialist egotistical community organizer as second coming of Christ. I would also submit that Obama never intended to “solve” any of the nation’s ills. Instead, he has only capitalized on every disaster, (be it economic or natural), by leading this nation further and further from a free market system and into permanent government bondage—every liberal democrat’s dream come true.

Every piece of legislation Obama has signed, every Czar he’s appointed, every executive order he’s submitted has been by “capable” design to promote his own personal agenda to extract billions from the middle class, (under the guise of soaking the rich), only to enrich the liberal democrat ideology of a pure socialist system where we are all 100% dependent on a government run by liberals, under the direction of liberals, and with the sole intention to bring about the total destruction of the free market principles that made this the greatest nation on the planet.

Only when Obama is defeated in 2012 will this country begin to reverse the destructive policies that have driven this nation into economic Armageddon. And only then will the problem begin to be “solved”.
