Collins Report

By Fritz Wenzel

In the latest Wenzel Strategies poll, just 36% of American likely voters said they think the country is headed on the right direction. This is down from a significant majority who said the same thing early last year. But that’s not really news, since every poll number associated with President Obama has plummeted over the past 13 months, starting almost immediately after he took office.

Part of this is reflective of the times – the economic doldrums continue unabated. Part of this is a natural outgrowth of the way in which Obama campaigned for the presidency in 2008, and the way in which the national news media covered him. Seldom did reporters on the campaign trail demand specifics about Obama or his policy proposals, and he offered them even less often.

In the end, we always find out what our Presidents really believe, as they roll out their agenda in Washington. It turns out the country doesn’t like Obama the President anywhere near as much as they liked Obama the candidate. The terrible “right direction/wrong track” poll numbers demonstrate that.

This week, President Obama marked the first anniversary of his stimulus bill by claiming it has saved or produced two million jobs. The claim came after several reports that other Obama Administration declarations of jobs saved or created by the stimulus bill were wildly exaggerated.

Here’s the problem. When your poll numbers are in the basement, it is a clear indication that voters don’t trust you. The correct reaction is to hew closer to the truth, not veer farther from it. American voters decide what is truthful by comparing a political leader’s statements with what they see around them in everyday life, and there is little evidence for Obama’s job claims here in the real world.

Using polling to stop a fall

Falling poll numbers are always difficult to repair. And the repair process is usually very expensive – in terms of time, money, or both. In the political realm, President Clinton was probably the most successful in the modern era at recovering from a plummet he took in his first two years in office. He spent a great deal of time and treasure remaking his image, largely with the wise guiding counsel of strategist Dick Morris. He first did extensive polling to determine what the American public was thinking, and then he moved toward them.

Not only is Obama not moving to where the American people are philosophically, his public statements give the distinct impression that he does not understand the real reasons Americans are so against his proposals. After Republican Scott Brown campaigned against Obama’s health care reform bill and won the U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts, Obama said he thought the Brown victory occurred because his administration had not done a good job of getting its “message” out. The reality was exactly the opposite.
Using truth to rebound

In another realm, Tiger Woods this week is to go public with an apology for his wild private life. The apology will work wonders for him, and he will be back on the PGA Tour again soon. His reputation will always carry a scar, but he will make a nice recovery – because he will finally deal with this issue very publicly and very directly. He will be honest with the American people, who rightly feel betrayed. Americans love to forgive their public figures – but they have to honestly seek forgiveness first.

This is a lesson Obama has apparently not yet learned. Instead, he is treating the American public much the way the prototypical Ugly American deals with nationals while traveling in a foreign country: if he finds they don’t understand English, he just speaks louder.

Democrats are in full panic mode.

Evan Bayh won’t be the last to jump and run. They’ll throw Barack Obama overboard trying to save their reelection chances, so forget about him being a one term president, Obama was a one year president.

Bayh is gasoline splashed on the smoldering coals of Obama’s faux presidency. It will ignite a consuming roaring fire that will burn Obama and his Party beyond recognition.

Losing everywhere

Recently New York Republicans won a special Assembly election in a 2 to 1 Democrat district. In Rhode Island Patrick Kennedy has been chased out. In Massachusetts a Republican won the “Kennedy seat” and another Democrat is about to quit. Obama is toxic and putting everything up for grabs this year.

This make believe presidency never really had a chance because it was built on lies told by people who knew they were lying to people who were either too stupid or too “thrilled” to demand answers about a man nobody knew a thing about. Obama’s puppet masters proved they knew how to get an empty suit elected, but don’t know the first thing to tell their puppet about actually running a country.
Having never held an actual job he brought no experience except voting “present” to the most important job in the world. Obama never was anything more than “Chance The Gardener” Peter Seller’s character in “Being There” the 1979 movie flaying the political world. Chance was an affable but mentally challenged man who was discovered and promoted by powerful political king makers. They were impressed by his ability to speak and seemly make sense although he was a babbling idiot.

The Democrats’ problem and America’s problem is that “Chance” is now the president but things will only get better for America and worse for Democrats.

Instrumental leadership; Administrative leadership

Instrumental leaders lead the charge up the hill and take the fort. Administrative leaders manage the everyday workings of the “fort” after it has been taken.

George Washington was that rare leader who was both an Instrumental leader and an Administrative leader. They don’t come around very often. Newt Gingrich was a great Instrumental leader but a failure as an Administrative leader.

Obama has surrounded himself with excellent Instrumental leaders. They were able to find dozens of Democrats willing to lie about being conservative in order to get elected in conservative congressional districts, but now “their chickens are coming home to roost” as Rev Wright would screech.

What did you do to be worthy of your American freedoms yesterday? What will you do today and what do you plan to do tomorrow?

When pressed to finally become an adult, Peter Pan answered: “I shall never grow up. Make believe is much too fun.”
These lines come to mind with the news that Barack Obama is establishing a new federal agency to support the sagging Climate Change hoax.

According to the AP, Gary Locke the Commerce Secretary and Jane Lubcheno of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, “planned to announce [yesterday] that NOAA will set up the new Climate Service to operate in tandem with NOAA’s National Weather Service and National Ocean Service.”

Considering that this is the same National Weather Service and National Ocean Service that couldn’t settle on predicting whether Washington DC would get 12 inches or 24 inches of snow just twenty four hours before hand, having these people takeover even more of our lives is not a comforting thought.

“The question is settled”

The damage this bunch will likely do grows still larger considering that NOAA is using flawed data to insist that the last two decades were the “hottest on record.”

The AP had no curiosity about how much this new agency would cost, but it’s a sure bet it will be millions and a better bet our tax money will be wasted on this foolishness.

What this agency might do to refurbish the discredited arguments of Al Gore the United Nations is anyone’s guess. Nevertheless, the intrepid Obama soldiers on.

Mounting evidence proving man made climate change is a hoax means nothing to these frauds that we’re told to believe. Obama has joined them digging in his heels and insisting all of these lies are true.

Obama doesn’t want to ever grow up because he lives in his own Never Land where the Green Meanies despoil the environment with their SUVs and backyard bar b ques.

Two desperate sides coming together, a lying media and a dying administration

The general “puff piece” approach to this story from the AP: no embarrassing questions about justification for a new agency in the face of a $14 Trillion debt or the evidence disproving “climate change” suggests there might have been a quid pro quo between a compliant news outlet and an administration desperate for good press.

Let’s hope this can be stopped by frightened Democrats trying to save their jobs. It is a totally unnecessary expense at a time that we really don’t need another “mouth to feed.”

The Pinocchio administration, led by their ultra narcissistic President, is flooding the airways with their lies – a coordinated PR spin effort claiming that they have saved millions of jobs –mythical figures based on hot air and nurtured by political expediency (even counting phantoms, robots and politically appointed government workers they are several million short of their fallacious projections).

Excessive fabrication of falsehoods is a hallmark of the Obama team and is utilized to cover the lack of a sound economic policy. In reality, they are the most anti-business administration in recent history. All of their convoluted attempts at job creation have, in fact, become job killers.

The costly stimulus package was virtually a complete waste of taxpayer’s dollars. It was a partisan bill designed to pay off election contributors, appease the left wing radicals and reward his political cronies. There is little evidence of significant job creation results – as indicated by recent jobless numbers.
The current “punish the banks” attitude is another potential job killer. This vindictive jawboning will only cause banks to shackle lending and stifle credit lines small business so desperately needs to expand and hire. A friendly reminder to Obama, Solomon slew a thousand Philistines with the jawbone of an ass: jobs can be killed the same way.

The “cash for clunkers” program was a policy clunker. It did not create jobs, wasted more taxpayer dollars and contributed to huge sales increases for Japanese carmakers. It was a poorly run and is a prime example of why government should not intervene in the private sector.

My evaluation of Obama’s first year in office differs somewhat from his gratuitous grading. I believe he is an embarrassment as a world leader, inept as a President and presents an imminent danger to our national security.

He is, however, a World-Class Prevaricator, completely out-of-touch with the mood of the country and is deviously influenced by his radical czars/advisors.

Voters Unite. Support your common-sense candidates. Let’s put a stop to Obama’s wild spending proposals, replace his anti-free market capitalism attitude and eliminate his pro-terrorist behavior.

What did you do to defend American freedoms yesterday? What will you do today and what do you plan to do tomorrow?

There are really only two data points political insiders always want to know when they learn a new poll has come out of the field: What are the job approval numbers and what do voters say about whether the city/county/state/country is headed in the right direction or is off on the wrong track.

Oh, the other stuff is important. But the data from these questions is the very foundation of an officeholder’s existence. The first data point is an officeholder’s job performance rating. Everyone talks about that one.

You may have heard much less about the data from the second question, the “right direction/wrong track question. This data tells us how people feel about things in general – are we headed in the right direction or on the wrong track? Do people feel good about their situation and the situation around them, or not? Are people optimistic about the future, or not? The job performance data tells us whether and how much people blame or credit a particular officeholder for the way things are. This is why these questions are asked together.

Right track/wrong track

The “right direction/wrong track” question can be useful in forecasting political events. It also helps to look at similar data points from the past to see what happened then. For instance, in my most recent Wenzel Strategies polling, just 36% said they think the country is on the right track. The same percentage – 36% – said “right track” about the direction of the country in late October, 2006. A week later voters nationwide tossed Republicans from Congress en masse, ending 12 years of GOP rule in Washington.
I’m not making a prediction here – simply noting the historical record: a political atmosphere very much like this 4 years ago gave us a Washington sea change.

Driving off a cliff

Are we headed for a similar result this year? No one knows for sure – Election Day is nine months away. But with every passing week when there is no noticeable improvement in the economy and no moderation of Democratic proposals in Congress, a massive change becomes more possible. This becomes still more possible when you consider that a modern President’s second year poll numbers are seldom better than those of his first in term with the terrorist attacks of 2001 being a notable exception.
Considering Obama’s political wounds – which started showing up in slumping poll numbers not long after his inauguration – have all been self–inflicted, there is little reason for confidence he can or will change his ways to move the poll numbers higher. He said as much in his recent State of the Union message: “I won’t quit.”
That being true, neither will the plummeting of his poll numbers.

What did you do to defend American freedoms yesterday? What will you do today and what do you plan to do tomorrow?

If today was Election Day 2012 Barack Obama would lose in a major landslide according to the very latest state by state polling numbers. With nine months for his fortunes to get worse and every indication that he’ll do exactly the things that have caused his plunging poll numbers thus far Obama is shaping up to be a millstone around Democrats necks this November and in 2012.
In several states Obama won in 2008, worth 155 Electoral College votes, his approval numbers indicate he would lose. With Obama’s winning percentage over John McCain listed first those states are:
Colorado: 54/45 approve/disapprove 47/52 worth 9 Electoral Votes

Florida: 51/48 approve/disapprove 42/58 worth 27 Electoral Votes

Indiana: 49.8/48.8 approve/disapprove 43/56 worth 11 Electoral Votes

Iowa: 54/44 approve/disapprove 44/54 worth 7 Electoral Votes

Michigan: 57/41 approve/disapprove 48/50 worth 17 Electoral Votes

Nevada: 55/43 approve/disapprove 45/50 worth 5 Electoral Votes

North Carolina: 49.7/49.4 approve/disapprove 48/52 worth 15 Electoral Votes

Ohio: 51/47 approve/disapprove 46/54 worth 20 Electoral Votes

Pennsylvania: 54/44 approve/disapprove 46/53 worth 21 Electoral Votes

Virginia: 53/46 approve/disapprove 44/54 worth 13 Electoral Votes

Wisconsin: 56/42 approve/disapprove 46/54 worth 10 Electoral Votes

Obama even loses to “unnamed” on a ballot

This doesn’t guarantee disenchanted Obama votes would vote for McCain, but it comes pretty close to it.

A recent Wenzel poll found just 44% of voters would vote for Obama if given a chance for a “do over” while another 45% would vote for an unnamed opponent.

The spread becomes still larger when population shifts that will be factored into the Electoral vote values are considered in Obama column. Since states that are currently trending against Obama will grow in this zero sum contest, he’ll lose 9 more votes. Obama’s loss in a hypothetical match against even an unnamed Republican increases to 201/ 337.

The threat is as real as it gets

There is light in the tunnel, a bright light for sure, but we have to keep the pressure up. Plan on joining every demonstration every call for Emails and phone calls to show you wouldn’t take what these Marxist Democrats are serving up.

Join your local Republican County Committee and get active. Don’t just fill a line on a page. Let the Party bosses know you’re watching them as well. This is no time to sit and wish for the best. These people are trying to destroy our country and children’s and grand children’s lives. This is serious and we need everyone fighting to save America.

What did you do to defend American freedoms yesterday? What will you do today and what do you plan to do tomorrow?

It’s like trying to lose weight by eating Snickers bars or trying to save gas by driving out of your way.

It just doesn’t work.

When President Barack Obama said the recent “Massachusetts Massacre,” where Republican Scott Brown won election in a heavily Democratic state, was the result of a White House failure to “get our message out,” he spoke in contradiction to what national polling suggests.

A recent Wenzel Strategies survey showed that, if given the chance for an election “do–over,” just 44% would vote for Obama for President today. Another 45% said they would vote for an unnamed opponent. However, what is more telling about this data point is that among two key demographic groups – independents and men – Obama performs much worse.

Among independent voters, who are critical to Obama’s success, just 37% said they would vote for him today. Just 40% of men said the same.

This isn’t because no one knows what Obama’s doing. Rather, it’s because they know too well what he’s doing. The statistics tell the story: Obama has conducted more interviews and appearances in his first year than any other President in modern history.

When the Food Network broadcasts from the White House, it’s a sure sign of over–exposure. But, as last night’s State of the Union message demonstrates, the sick patient doesn’t agree with the diagnosis or the remedy. The best way to lose weight is to eat less. You save gas by driving less. You cure media over–exposure by staying away from your teleprompter and the cameras. Tumbling poll numbers are whispering to Obama that less is more. If nothing changes, later this year, they will be shouting a harsher message.

By now you probably know of the plunge in Obama’s job approval rating from 69% the day after his inauguration to 46% now, a steeper and faster slide than any President in modern history. What these poll numbers say, in large part, is that the public has lost confidence in the President. Confidence, or trust, is only rebuilt when there are tangible results that correspond to the words being spoken.

Just not trustworthy

We have plenty of words from the White House, but nothing tangible to prove the words are trustworthy. In fact, some of what comes out of the Obama administration is downright counter–intuitive. The White House says we will save money with health care reform, but the bill will cost almost $1 trillion dollars. The White House says the economy is improving, but unemployment and economic growth continues to be unexpectedly weak.

The proof is in the polling

There was great criticism that the mainline American press corps did little to challenge the Obama administration during its first year. In fact, the news coverage was almost fawning all the way through his entire presidential campaign. Like an undisciplined child who doesn’t want to grow up, the Obama administration has soaked up all this favorable coverage, never preparing for the day when the coverage might turn against it, and it might have to fight to keep its place in a changing world. Now that coverage is turning sour, it is understandable that their child–like reaction would be to offer more of the cuddly Obama that proved so adorable just one short year ago. But, like a kindergartner who behaves like a baby, it’s not so attractive anymore. The proof is in the polling.

The ubiquitous yellow jugs joined to the hips of Florida pool owners are different icons in Afghanistan. They’re the carriers of fertilizer and diesel fuel terrorists use to blow up our boys with roadside bombs called IED’s. Question: “Was it our general and not our President doing the dithering in the 90 days of contemplation before Obama released 30,000 more of our boys to be fed into the maw of a war we refuse to win?”

In a recent NPR interview Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman (just returned from being “in country,”) told hostess Renee Montagne he observed our Marines tracking “guys” trailing wire under water and another guy carrying a yellow jug at a locale in the Helmand River Valley in southern Afghanistan. Bowman said while watching “live while guys were digging a hole for a roadside bomb. . .there was a guy swimming across a canal with this wire, and the wires are used to detonate the bomb.” This took place near where an IED went off the other day.

When, according to Bowman, our helicopter came in over the activity, its pilot didn’t fire and flew off, guns still cold. Our Marines walked out of their surveillance shack very frustrated after seeing the jug guy toss it into a haystack and merely disappear into the crowd of villagers. Why? Because our new very stringent Rules of Engagement laid down by General McCrystal would not permit our side to take out the potential roadside bombers because of the villagers.

Was McCrystal the hesitant one knowing he’d have to enact these impossible new ROE’s in exchange for more of our boys in a blood for blather contract? In other words, did Obama “give” Afghanistan more troops in exchange for ROE’s more compatible with his far left political base?

Calling it as it is

To me, an English teacher who only has held a gun once, these ROE’s are just plain nuts! Over and over, guys tell me don’t buy yourself a gun for self defense if you won’t fire it! Hello, don’t bring a heavily armed copter to a haystack fight if you won’t fire it! Don’t send our boys into a war that our politicians game for political gain. Don’t let these new cruel ROE’s kill our precious blood!
One source tells me an F 16 pilot routinely is given targets yet told, “If something happens, it’s your fault.” Huh? Another source tells of his son recently returned from a second Iraq tour of duty after having his vehicle hit by a bomb. While this squad leader wasn’t hurt, he and another soldier kept one of their own from bleeding to death while at the same time by following the ROE’s, prevented another innocent Iraqi from being shot. Is this called something like letting our enemy determine the field of battle? I began my college teaching career in front of classrooms of returning Viet Nam vets so stressed and so drugged out they barely could sit still for 50 minutes, let alone read a book. I watched from another classroom window while a war protesting fool streaked buck naked down our commons. If we won’t demand an immediate cease and desist order for these new articles of death, may we, at least, consider demanding a stop to sending an expensive U.S. helicopter piloted by a most highly trained U.S. airman on a fly over in an exercise in futility? Will we let our blood continue to be the first spilled?
Speak out!
What did you do to protect American freedoms yesterday; what will you do tomorrow?

It’s taken Newsweek less than nine months, but it now admits Obama is an empty suit.

Howard Fineman’s liberal credentials are impeccable. He’s a reliable parrot of liberalism at the leftwing Newsweek. Howie’s the real liberal deal of liberal propaganda.

That’ why it was so “knock me down with a feather” surprising when Newsweek carried Fineman’s bombshell piece on how Barack Obama is turning out to be an empty suit. Fineman and Newsweek realize “There is no there there,” when it comes to Barack Obama’s constant speeches.

It’s “Obama here”, “Obama there”, “Obama everywhere” and Americans have grown tired of his Big Brother act.

Worse still we don’t believe much of what he says except when he announces some new spending plan.

Obama’s incessant use of personal pronouns to explain and define every situation is projecting the kind of “woe is me” we find very unbecoming in a Commander in Chief.

Clearly Obama’s teleprompter has got to sit him down and explain that he has worn out our patience for the phrase “It’s Bush’s fault.”

For many Americans last week’s groveling bootlicking degradation and humiliation of America during his sophomoric speech at the United Nations was the last straw.

In between the torrent of “I” and “me” we heard Obama declare America to be morally and culturally equal and interchangeable with countries unfamiliar with toilet paper.

Media starts admitting it

When the media starts edging toward the front of the crowd of angry torch carriers, as they are beginning to do, things will only get worse for Obama and by sad extension America. We can expect Obama to offer even more socialism. He knows nothing else.

Jon Stewart too?

Even light weight Jon Stewart jokes about Obama’s coming fund raiser scandal. When the laughter starts it’s usually politically fatal.

Now many on the Left and within his own party are beginning to believe Obama should start doing more and talking less. He has “produced” nothing but misery in the view of a steadily growing majority of Americans. Many Democrats are wondering just who they elected last November, and they are worried that Obama will destroy them come next November.

The first seven months in office have unmasked the real Obama – a far left radical bent on destroying free market capitalism, a man who exhibits a distinct anti-business bias which is a major contributing factor to accelerating job losses, and a president determined to expand government to every sector of American life.

Barack Obama has a ruthless ambition for power with designs on becoming Emperor of the World while creating a Czarist system of governing in the USA.

Obama is trying to accomplish his leftist goals with a constant stream of verbosity. Words, words and more words erupting like an active volcano spewing his radical ideas, like a choking ash, throughout the globe. His talks are filled with false promises, inaccuracies and a missionary zeal to rush irresponsible spending programs through Congress. LOOK BEHIND HIS WORDS and you will see Obama – “The Eloquent Prevaricator”.

The President’s words are omnipresent (always in a campaign mode) utilizing all available media to express denials, counter attack, to deride opponents and their ideas or comment on current events. Mr. Obama is smart, quick, forceful, and cool. He is a world-class manipulator of words and has a unique way of implying agreement with your position but planning the opposite. PENETRATE THIS FOG OF RHETORIC and you will recognize Obama – “Cleverly deceptive”.

Barack is also the master at creating a straw man in his never ending monologues. He’s quite inventive in designing problems of his own perception and then offering solutions. The straw man is often used to distort, deceive and deflect attention from the real problem. ANALYZE HIS PREMISES and you get Obama – “Intellectually dishonest”.

The “Ship of State” with Obama at the rudder, is listing heavily to the portside. Please beware of what is happening. Let your voice be heard. Demand the truth.

Press for accountability from your elected representatives. Free market capitalism is truly the best path to prosperity. Job creation should be the top priority for the Obama administration.
