Polls Currently Reveal Obama Will Not Be Reelected

Let's Look At The Reasons Why This Is Happening

Barack Obama

Based on published reports this week, U.S. President Barack Obama's poll numbers, have dropped to an all time low, exposing the fact the American people are not happy with his time in office. This coupled with numbers from polls concerning Americans' views on the upcoming election reveal, Obama is firmly on his way to becoming a one term president.

Articles published this week in mainstream newspapers and on the blogs, are comparing his presidency to that of Jimmy Carter, while others retain an even more unfavorable view, stating his has become the most unsuccessful in U.S. history.

The past two-and-a-half years of Obama's presidency have been consumed by excessive spending and a tremendous attention to PR, rather than deficit reduction, budget cuts and job creation. This does not a successful presidency make, as it led to unprecedented economic lows and an S&P downgrade of an historic nature.

Journalists and bloggers have also complained of Obama using his authority in the White House to punish outspoken critics, which was unwise of him, as this translated into even more bad press and reduced public support.

Publicly getting into a war of words with journalists and bloggers, as seen with the Boston Herald and numerous writers in the blogosphere, who later publicly complained, did him no favors with voters. This lack of restraint by the Obama Administration in attacking outspoken critics, cost him much in the way of support from newspaper and blogosphere readers, which equates to many millions of people.

The correlation became apparent to anyone following newspaper sites and the blogosphere, that each time the Obama Administration made a move against outspoken critics, exercising their right to free press and free speech, they in turn wrote extensive exposés on him, causing his poll numbers to take big nosedives.

But somehow the White House did not and has not, made the obvious connection and continues to persecute its outspoken critics in conduct that is undemocratic and unconstitutional. It also betrays a great lack of self-control, to risk one's presidency in retaliating against outspoken critics.

It has all the ingredients for disaster, as the polls have confirmed once again. The public does not want to see such conduct from any administration, as it goes against America's core values, such as free speech and free press.

With Republican candidates gaining in the polls, it really was not a wise time for the President to become so fixated with what journalists and bloggers wrote, rather than paying attention to the economy and job creation. 14,000,000 Americans are unemployed and suffering. This should be the President's main focus - not having his cabinet getting even with critics, as has been shown in well documented and publicized cases.

You have lost control of your presidency and it is evident you are not thinking clearly. You can't win against the internet. If you attempt to shut it down to silence your critics, you will be labeled an undemocratic dictator damaging democracy.

New announcements have been made by the Post Office, a number of banks and airlines, among others, that they are collectively going to shed hundreds of thousands of jobs, which could well add up to upwards of an additional 1,000,000 people being unemployed in the near future.

It is time for Obama to focus on the task at hand, the economy, as his presidency is slipping away from him, in the pursuit of PR and programs that have damaged the economy, due to their hefty price tags, underwritten by taxpayers.

In the final analysis, history will not as its main focus, rhetorically ask of the president, "Did he get even with his outspoken critics while in office." The question history will ask and answer is, "Did he save the U.S. economy." Right now, the answer to that question would be a resounding "No." President Obama has very little time left before the 2012 election to try to change that and has no time to waste, focusing his energies on what journalists and bloggers lawfully write. Ironically, his administration does not see it that way.

If you spend your time engaging in negativity it will plague your endeavors. If you concentrate on doing what is honorable, just and right, success will follow you. It's that simple. Think about that next time you think about persecuting critics for exercising their right to free speech and free press, rather than constructively finding ways to create jobs, as it is clearly affecting your position with the populace and in turn, your poll numbers. Cause and effect.

The FBI And Ethics



FBI Director Robert S. Mueller has invaded the public's privacy far more than his notorious predecessor J. Edgar Hoover

A number of legal cases by unrelated litigants, filed all over the country and subsequently carried by many mainstream press outlets, reveals a pattern of abuse at the FBI, betraying a serious lack of ethics on the agency's part. It's to be expected that criminals will be investigated, but what happens when the FBI resorts to very underhanded and illegal tactics in doing so - and even worse - when these terrible practices are used against innocent people, falsely branded criminals.

What happens when innocent people's lives are irreparably destroyed, as seen in the Steven Hatfill case and many others. Hatfill is a scientist the FBI took the gloves off with, investigating him in an illegal and unethical manner, completely destroying his business and personal life and that of his family. He was later exonerated and sued the FBI for their abhorrent conduct, winning a multi-million dollar judgment.

If the FBI stuck to universally accepted investigative guidelines that do not violate human rights, such things would never happen. The accepted standard all over the world, when investigating suspected criminals, is to engage wiretaps and request personal and business files on the subject via a court order, utilize digital and paper forensics and conduct physical surveillance, in building a case. To do so, one must have proper probable cause to not only investigate, but bring charges.

However, the FBI has taken investigations to sick, unconscionable extremes. The FBI routinely gets very personal and very nasty when investigation people, via getting into their family life, among other things. The agency tries to turn people’s spouses, children and friends against them in very psychologically disturbing ways - issuing threats if they do not cooperate. There is something very insidious about law enforcement trying to mentally destroy people by sowing discord and division amongst spouses, their children and friends, in a sick game of divide and conquer.

It is unprofessional and sick and has nothing to do with good law enforcement procedures. This is compounded by the fact, many of the people being targeted have committed no crime, yet permanent damage is being inflicted on their lives, relationships and careers.

Many of these cases have to do with the FBI, White House or a member of Congress, attempting to settle a personal score with innocent citizens that LAWFULLY said or wrote something they did not like. Others have to do with the FBI trying to pin crimes on innocent people, seeking pansies to take the fall, in aiding the agency to fill arrest quotas, in order to look productive to Congress, in bids at extracting more of your tax dollars, which they often waste.

As legal documents have shown, the FBI also routinely ropes in other government agencies, such as the IRS and Social Security, among others, in abusing innocent people they investigate. It is an abuse of public office. Any individual that participates in such criminality against innocent people, which clearly violates the constitution, must be exposed to be public, fired, severely sued and imprisoned. Taxpayers do not pay your salaries for you to turn around and abuse innocent people. Public office should never be used to settle personal vendettas.

Recently, another case surfaced where the FBI and CIA, illegally investigated an American university professor, for writing a lawful article, questioning the legality of former president George W. Bush's policies. He simply exercised his constitutional right to free press and free speech, writing nothing unlawful or threatening and was abusively investigated by a power mad administration, for doing so.

A presidency is not meant for such abuses. It is petty, pathetic, unethical and financially costly (the nation cannot afford such wasteful expenditures). It was also a great waste of taxpayer money, but there are many cases like his and disgracefully so and the financial toll is devastating, via wasted resources and man-hours investigating innocent people. The professor is now suing.

The White House and U.S. Congress have allowed the 8-billion-dollar-a-year FBI to do the unthinkable, in conduct that not only affects American citizens, but people in other nations, when the invasive surveillance and abuses secretly reaches their shores, in violation of international law and is later exposed.

Nothing useful comes of this criminal misconduct on the FBI's part that is only adding an enormous amounts of unjustifiable debt to the national deficit. FBI Director, Robert S. Mueller, has turned the FBI into a private police force, single-handedly adding billions to the national deficit with illegal investigations and wasteful programs that didn't amount to a hill of beans, yet Capitol Hill allowed it, to the detriment of the nation.

Mark Halperin Calling Obama A "Di*k" On Television Revealed The Limits On Free Speech

Barack Obama's office made a call to MSNBC about Mark Halperin, who was suspended shortly after

Yesterday, Time magazine editor and television political pundit, Mark Halperin, called U.S. President, Barack Obama, a "di*k" on national television. MSNBC suspended him, after receiving a call from President Obama's representative at the White House, complaining about the comment that made it onto the air, due to a MSNBC technician pressing the wrong button in the control booth (smooth). Halperin is being punished for exercising his right to free speech, revealing the limits being placed on the Constitution.

President Obama's office did what he instructed them to, as he does not take criticism well. Obama has even employed an individual on the taxpayers' dime, Jesse Lee, to argue with people on Twitter, when they write unflattering stories about him. Journalists and bloggers have publicly complained of President Obama, having blogs and other websites, penalized or shutdown for writing unflattering pieces about him.

Mark Halperin: Uh oh!

Many have rightly labeled this conduct censorship and a violation of free speech, as prescribed by the Constitution. The Judiciary Report has experienced this firsthand and can attest, the President is actively trying to shape his press via censorship, by pulling strings at companies such as Google, to punish those that freely publish the truth.

Under the law, it is the President's job to, "Preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" - not impede, thwart, violate or destroy it out of self-interest, when one does not like what is being said or written.
