President Obama’s NLRB & Their Summer Assault On American Jobs
From the Workforce Fairness Institute.
The Workforce Fairness Institute today unveiled a new web video spotlighting President Obama’s National Labor Relations Board and their summer assault on American jobs. Highlighting his recent speech before a joint session of Congress, President Obama said “in the face of an ongoing national crisis, we can stop the political circus, and actually do something to help the economy.”
Unfortunately, the Obama board delivered an onslaught of rulings and regulations in August that will cost American jobs and force more workers into unions.
Political circus?
The Obama Administration’s style of governance (Far Left, redistributionist ideology) has hindered American jobs and it is no laughing matter.

Texas Governor Rick Perry and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney
According to the latest War Room Logistics (R) Poll.
The Republican race for president is a two-man tie in Florida, but voters think that Mitt Romney has a slightly better chance of becoming president. Romney and Rick Perry are virtually dead even, garnering 25 percent each of the Republican vote, with Newt Gingrich a distant third at 9 percent, according to the survey by War Room Logistics, a Gainesville firm that polls and consults for Republicans
But in a general election match-up, only Romney matches Obama, pulling in 45 percent of the vote to the presidents 44 percent – a lead that’s well within the overall error margin of the poll that sampled 1,400 self-described likely Florida voters.
“It appears that Romney has cross over-appeal in this early stage, especially with the fickle Independent vote,” pollster Alex Patton noted in an email. Only Romney bests Obama among independents, 45-39. Obama would beat Perry right now, 48-40 percent.
Mitt Romney will use the electability issue and Social Security to pound away at Rick Perry in tomorrow night’s Florida debate, sponsored by Fox News, and Google.
Stay tuned for Quinnipiac’s Florida poll which will be released tomorrow or later today.
Game on……

Day By Day by Chris Muir
Sarah Palin was “destroyed” by the Lamestream media and the Far Left in 2008 because she was a threat. She continues as a threat to them today with not only with a potential candidacy but also her ability to frame issues and communicate them.
Will she be a candidate for the Presidency in 2012?
Perhaps. The key will be whether she has the ability or popularilty in the polls to beat President Obama in the key battleground states.
On October 1 when the Republican National Committee finalizes GOP Primary election/caucus dates, we will have a better idea as to what Sarah will do.
Just a week or so to go. Tags: Day By Day, Sarah Palin

According to the latest McClatchy-Marist Poll.
A new McClatchy-Marist poll finds that Obama looks increasingly vulnerable in next year’s election, with a majority of voters believing he’ll lose to any Republican, a solid plurality saying they’ll definitely vote against him and most potential Republican challengers gaining on him.
Even in potential matchups where he leads, Obama in most cases has lost ground to the Republican.
The biggest gain came for Palin, the former Alaska governor who hasn’t yet announced whether she’ll jump into the fast-changing race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
After trailing Obama by more than 20 percentage points in polls all year, the new national survey, taken Sept. 13-14, found Palin trailing the president by just 5 points, 49-44 percent. The key reason: She now leads Obama among independents, a sharp turnaround.
The LEFT doesn’t know who to go after: Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Mitt Romney or now, Sarah Palin.
We will know about Sarah and/or Chris Christie soon – probably a little prior to October 1, when state GOP Parties must tell the Republican National Committee when they will hold their primary elections/caucuses.
By a margin of 49 percent to 36 percent, voters said they definitely plan to vote against Obama, according to the poll. Independents by 53 percent to 28 percent said they definitely plan to vote against him.
With that sentiment permeating the electorate a little more than a year before the general election, most Americans think Obama won’t win a second term.
By 52 percent to 38 percent, voters think he’ll lose to the Republican nominee, whoever that is. Even among Democrats, 31 percent think the Republican nominee will win.

According to the latest Gallup Poll.
Americans generally favor raising taxes on higher-income Americans and eliminating tax deductions for some corporations as ways of paying for President Obama’s proposed jobs plan.
Slightly more than half of rank-and-file Republicans and Republican-leaning independents favor the idea of eliminating certain corporate tax deductions as a way to pay for a jobs creation bill. Forty-one percent of Republicans favor raising taxes on higher-income Americans. Democrats strongly favor both proposals for paying for the cost of the jobs bill.
Not really a surprise because nobody considers themselves rich. But, how can anyone possibly think this will lead to job creation?
Americans Favor Almost All Proposals in Obama’s Jobs Plan
Americans agree with a number of the job-creation proposals included in Obama’s jobs plan — specifically including the ideas of providing tax cuts to small businesses; providing additional funds for hiring teachers, police officers, and firefighters; and giving tax breaks to corporations for hiring the long-term unemployed. Slightly less than half favor reducing Social Security taxes for workers and employers.
The chart:
So, what does this all mean?
This is the second Gallup survey conducted in the last two weeks showing that the American public broadly supports Obama’s jobs plan. A majority of Americans interviewed this past weekend believe the plan would help at least a little to create jobs and improve the economy.
Many of the proposals embedded in the plan receive majority support, and Americans strongly endorse the idea of paying for the plan by raising taxes on higher-income individual taxpayers and by eliminating tax deductions for some corporations. While Republicans are considerably less positive about the potential efficacy of the plan than are Democrats, a majority of the former favor a number of Obama’s proposals, and also favor eliminating tax deductions for corporations to help fund the plan.
But, the real question is whether these proposals work? Will any jobs be created?
Popularity may win you votes, but not necessarily produce an improving economy. Tags: American Economy, Barack Obama, Polling
