POLL: MORE AMERICANS BLAME REPUBLICANS FOR FISCAL CLIFF IMPASSE

A new poll from CNN/ORC shows that President Obama remains Teflon despite the fact that he designed the upcoming fiscal cliff to speculation. Even though Obama insisted on massive defense cuts and huge tax increases as the two alternative parts of the fiscal cliff, the American public will apparently blame Republicans if the fiscal cliff isn’t stopped. A full 45% of respondents said they would blame Congressional Republicans – even though the Democrats control the Senate – while just 34% would blame President Obama.

The public, by and large, sees Republicans as obstructionist. That's due to a combination of messaging failure on the part of the GOP -- nothing new, in that they seem incapable of explaining the simple fact that low tax rates, particularly on job creators, spur economic growth and thereby raise tax revenues -- and a media concerned only with saving its flailing president. The Republicans' mixed messaging on the fiscal cliff has been astounding to watch. They signed off on the sequester, which put a fiscal gun to their heads, forcing them to choose between raising taxes partially or watching tax rates skyrocket and defense get slashed. Then they turned around and complained about the gun being put to their heads. Now, they're standing for the principle that we need more tax revenue, but it can't be raised by raising rates. No wonder the public is confused.

    No, the main reason obammy got re-elected is because of the computer program 'they' ran to steal votes, insert more votes than there was population and other neat little tricks.

    Things will remain relatively calm until after Jan. 2013 when the imposter is sworn in...AGAIN!

  10. Obama OWNS it. He built it. He is not experienced or smart enough to get us out. He only gets us deeper in debt.

  11. Obama submitted budgets to congress but no one voted in favor of them because they were a joke. His regime was crafty enough to get the ignorant Americans who don't do their homework before voting to get reelected. We're in BIG trouble!
