Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

POLL DISASTER FOR OBAMA

By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN

Published in the New York Post on September 2, 2009


This week's polls are a disaster for President Obama. The Rasmussen poll has his approval dropping to 45 percent, after several weeks at 49 percent. The Zogby poll has it even lower -- at 42 percent.

Worse yet, he's losing his political base:


* People under 30 -- long a key element of his support -- give him no better than break-even ratings, with 41 percent approving and 41 percent disapproving of the job he's doing, according to Zogby.

* Only 75 percent of Democrats, who formerly have supported Obama strongly, now approve of his performance in office. Zogby reports that this represents a slide of more than 10 points over the summer.

* Even among blacks, only 74 percent approve of the job he's doing (also a drop of more than 10 points).

* Hispanics, who voted for him by a margin of more than 40 points, now break even (36-36) when rating his performance.

Independents, the key swing group in our politics, now deliver a sharply negative 37-50 verdict on Obama's job performance. The elderly also give him negative ratings by 42-51.

This poll-implosion leaves Obama with few good options.

He obviously can't get 60 votes in the Senate for his health-care proposals in their current form. No Republican will support them, and moderate Democrats aren't likely to vote with him.

If he tries to pass it with 50 votes, using so-called reconciliation procedures, he may also fail -- because he'd also lose the votes of less-moderate Democrats who'd quail at using parliamentary tricks to pass such a radical, unpopular program.

If Obama waters down his proposals to attract moderate support, he'd lose votes on the left -- perhaps more than he'd gain, at this point.

Yet the longer he takes to resolve this political problem, the more his ratings will slip -- diminishing his power to achieve anything. No president with support in the 30s would be able to push through a program like his health-care agenda.

It now looks like health-care reform will cripple the Obama presidency, as it did Bill Clinton's in 1993.

Of course, Clinton was able to move to the center and secure re-election in 1996. But can a true believer like Obama do the same? He's shown a willingness to move to the center on foreign policy, leaving troops in Iraq and adding them in Afghanistan. But on the domestic front, the only aread where he's been willing to embrace centrist positions is education.

At best, Obama will be months if not years recovering from this disaster. In the short term, he's likely to finish September wishing he'd stayed in Martha's Vineyard.

I was at a Flying J in Barstow,CA a few weeks ago and I heard a female truck driver telling another driver in the TV room that all Obama's campaign money came from Saudi Arabia. We have to stop the BS and judge the man on his merits and not prejudice. Give him a second to clean up the mess that Bush made. By the way, one of the first meetings the president had were with reps from OOIDA. Bet Bush never did that..

Not ALL of his money but there is a large portion of his money that came from shady and questionable sources.
Thats been reported on more than once.

He was given a chance, and in less than 9 months royally screwed that chance up. He and you can no longer blame Bush. The blame rests squarely on the shoulders of the liar in chief and the dem party. The liar in chief has bought the blame for the whole mess with your and my tax money, out spending ALL of the previous presidents COMBINED.
He had his chance and he blew it. Thems the FACTS jack.

No body is prejudiced against oblahblah because of his race. Except the left wingers that will not allow the rest of us to forget that he is black, and must keep reminding the world that he is black and if you don't like him then you are a racist. I could forget that he is half black except I am constantly reminded by folks that think I'm blind.
My dislike of him has nothing, make that less than nothing to do with his skin color. I oppose him because of his very anti USA policies and goals for our formerly great country.
Oh and he lies constantly. Thats not good for building confidence in the American voter that you know what the hell you are doing.

He's cleaning it up by pouring gasoline on the fire.

So what he met with OOIDA whoopie do. He probably just wanted to see if he could squeeze the piss out of the trucking industry.

Shack I live in IL. When the SHEEP of the Idiots of the USA elected him to the Presdient of the USA I knew he was going to be a FREAKING Disater that would make Hoover and Carter look like a FART IN THE WIND. Why am I saying this he is a Chicago Crook and did less than NOTHIN AS A State Senator or a US SENATOR he also is done nothing as an Adult before he became a Politican. He lied in his Books more than he LIES IN HIS SPEECHES.
