NN just had a new poll released, and guess what? Obama's up 50% approval. Shazam, how about that. ABC/Washington Post, Obama up 50%. Here's CNN: "President Barack Obama's approval rating, a crucial indicator of his re-election chances, is on the rise, according to a new national survey."
CNN claims that this uptick is mostly due to the bickering over the payroll tax deal. They say, "The data suggest that the debate over the payroll tax is helping Obama's efforts to portray himself as the defender of the middle class."
Okay, so who are we to believe, Obama or our own eyes? Obama's not defending 'em. Obama is running against the middle class. That's the whole point of my first hour, working white class voters, Obama doesn't care. Obama can't win with 'em, his own people are saying so. And yet, here he is, defending the middle class with the payroll tax cut debate. This is exactly why they want a two-month deal so they could bring the argument back up again in two months next year during an election year because they think it is largely responsible to get Obama's approval numbers up. That's why they're happy for this.
You will not see this poll in the Drive-By Media. It's a Rasmussen poll: "60% Favor Building Keystone XL Pipeline." Here it is, I have it in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. "Most voters support the building of the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to Texas and believe it can be built without harming the environment." Of course it can. We have 625,000 miles of pipeline in this country, 625,000 miles. As I pointed out yesterday, the earth is just under 25,000 miles around at the equator. So 625,000 miles of pipeline and it doesn't leak and you know, folks, you people in New York, I'll bet you don't even know this.
You people that live in Jamaica, you know, out near the airport, JFK, do you ever see fuel trucks driving in and out of JFK? You don't. I mean you might see an occasional gasoline tanker to fuel gas stations nearby, but do you know that the jet fuel that fuels the jets, that powers the jets, do you know that the jet fuel is not trucked to JFK? Do you know that that's underground pipelines? That jet fuel, highly flammable jet A, kerosene, if you will, is just feet beneath your home, perhaps? Yeah, and other petroleum products. In order to get it in the quantities they need, they couldn't possibly truck it there, so it's in a constant pipeline. Jet fuel, underground in Queens. And when's the last time that there has been a rupture in that pipeline?
He perhaps shouldn't have mentioned that. Underground pipeline...just right for some environmentalist wacko to go after it!
The thing about the 2 month extension is that its ludicrous. Someone else...I forget who... was saying that it would take two months just to implement the changes needed in the extension...by the time the changes were implemented the extension would be over, and then what?
