There may be only one question left to answer - and we'll have to leave that for the historians: Who will go down as the worst President in US history - Jimmy Carter or Barack Obama? I think the answer will depend in part on whether Obama misbehaves and interjects himself into national affairs once he's out of office in the shameful way that Carter has done. If he does, he'll probably edge Carter out as the worst President in history. ...

I think it was about 10 days ago or so that I predicted a 7-point popular vote win for Romney and a 30-vote win in the electoral college. If he's up by 7 points now, he might win by more since late-deciders usually vote against the incumbent. ...

Well...who doesn't rip off the government, anyway? I try not to put too much stock in polls, but I did think Gallup was alright. ...

As much as business leaders, more than Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernacke, more than dems in Congress, more than pubs in Congress, more than tea party leaders (what leaders), more than Tim Geitner and more than labor union leaders (the last three being in a statistical dead heat for last place)? O-B-A-M-A. Oh, now would ya look at that? After all that witchin' and moanin and carrying on. Go O ! Find those pretty numbers here: http://www.gallup.com/p ...

Looks like Obama's lies didn't work on the critical thinkers out there. Thanks! ...

President Barack Obama, who campaigned on a promise to unify America, instead has become the most polarizing president in modern history.A Gallup Poll finds that the gap in Obama's approval rating in his sixth year in office between those who like him, Democrats, and those who do not, Republicans, has held steady at 70 percent, with 79 percent of Democrats voicing approval and only 9 percent of Republicans doing likewise. Since the days of President Dwight Eisenhower, in 1953, onl ...

The federal government ranks dead last in a new Gallup poll measuring Americans' views of U.S. business and industry sectors. More than half of the public -- 55 percent -- said their view of the federal government was either "very negative" or "somewhat negative." Seventeen percent expressed a "neutral" view of the federal government, and only 28 percent viewed the federal government as "very positive" or "somewhat positive." Of the five worst-rated U.S. business sectors, the federal ...

If you live in a red state and are unable to afford health insurance or find the costs to be outrageous, you have no one to blame but your elected officials. It is a shame, but you can change it by voting the bums out in the next election. I am fortunate enough to live in a very blue state and have reaped the benefits of affordable healthcare. ...

The below link is to an article that has a map showing the temperature changes by state since 1970. This is not necessarily a political issue in itself, but our response to it is. I live in one of the states that is showing the most change. Due to my way of life, I have been very conscious of the weather changes in my lifetime. I first started noticing thunderstorms in January. We should only be having blizzards in January--it was kinda fun. Then we started having tornadoes in September an ...

perhaps we should look at the state budget and if the state exceeds that budget...the governor should pay the difference out of his own pocket. I bet that would make them run their states a heck of a lot better. ...

The GOP's campaign for strict voter ID laws is affecting another voting bloc. —By Dana Liebelson | Tue Oct. 29, 2013 3:00 AM PDT 3 Kheel Center/Flickr Women have been allowed to vote in the United States since 1920, after the passage of the 19th Amendment. But fast-forward to 2013, and plenty of states' laws have a provision that makes it harder for women who are married or divorced to cast a ballot. When Americans all over the country ...

Imagine that....some states actually care about the people who live there. What a concept.

Why shouldn't ALL tests be given in English only? After all, you're not in your native country anymore kiddo....you're in the good old U.S. of A!!

Do you ever wonder why it seems we’re always having the same fights over public policy? Why is it that after we get off our butts, stand in line for hours at the polls, cast our ballots, and are told we “won,” nothing seems to get resolved? Aren’t elections supposed to have consequences? What happened to “We the People”?Americans grow up believing they live in a democracy, indeed the world’s greatest democracy. Too bad that’s a lie.Consider gun con ...

A bipartisan proposal to expand background checks for gun sales failed in part due to Republicans' desire to prevent President Barack Obama from winning a victory on a major policy initiative, the gun proposal's chief GOP proponent said Wednesday. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., who crafted a proposal with Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., to extend background checks to firearms purchased at gun shows and online, said the measure failed to win the 60 votes it needed to win passage due to Republican ...

I like the article (link below) and think it has merit. Let the residents who so dislike the Affordable Care Act continue with the current system of full insurance company control and denial and exclusions and ridiulously unaffordable premiums and strain on emergency rooms, etc. They can have it! Talk about death panels! Try getting coverage for pre-existing illnesses, especially if you've been laid off or have switched companies! My state would really like the single-payer option ...
