The truth about Poll #’s
I just read an article on-line published by none other than Newsweek about Obama’s poll numbers. (Now I typically don’t read anything from Newsweek given their extreme liberal slant), but it was right there on my homepage just a click away so I did it…I clicked.
The article was titled Honeymoon In Hell” and rambled on about how Obama has had the worst “honeymoon” period of any president since FDR but through it all his poll numbers are still favorable.
Now tell me when haven’t his poll numbers been favorable? He had a 73% approval rating 2 months prior to even becoming president due to the “slobbering love-fest” created by the media. What wer
e they measuring? His choice of ties each morning, his shooting % during his daily basketball pick-up game or how he craftily snuck smoke breaks in between interviews?
What??? All I know is that we hear about poll #’s and are expected to believe that everything will be alright just because some arbitrary # is flashed before us & they say it is a high #; and oh by the way they polled 1200 people out of 260mm and they were representative of how the nation feels. I guess if these 1200 think all is ok then by golly I should too!
Nonsense, what do these numbers really mean? The media and in this case Newsweek can pick whatever numbers they want to make their point. Does anybody ever really give the details of how all of this data was really obtained and who these 1200 people were? Considering the source and their affinity for the liberal point of view why should we believe anything they say. You see this is coming from a group that on a regular basis makes it a habit to ignore real facts of history when it does not put them or their beliefs in a favorable light and shed all accountability only to place blame on anyone or anything else! (Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, et al).
Look #’s are just that #’s, kind of like speeches…just words…they’re not measurable actions that really translate into sustainable results and recently we’ve had a lot of both. (#’s & speeches) and little results. The truth is we have seen record losses of personal wealth in this country like never before and spending by the Gov’t at unfathomable levels.
This administration has attacked successful companies for being just that successful and has
done all they can to have the general public make these companies feel guilty for doing so. They have called out certain companies who in their eyes have a disproportionate base of privilege between management and workers. Because after all the workers should have an equal share! Now you have heard me condemn those who have failed and then reaped huge payouts, but for successful companies to be brought down is ludicrous. How will this administration ever have success in growing jobs for “Mainstreet” workers if all they do is tear at the very fiber of corporate success that provides such jobs? I just don’t get it???
One industry that has been hit hard by this is the hotel & hospitality industry. They have seen severe declines in business meeting bookings across all fronts because even companies that can afford to have training or reward meetings for their employees are canceling or not booking travel because they don’t want to feel the scorn of the Obama administration or be inappropriately singled out as the greedy evil empire. The end result is that the hotels have to cut staffs since their business & revenue levels can’t accommodate the overhead. There are fewer rooms to clean or fewer meals to prepare and fewer cars to park. So who did Obama really hurt? It wasn’t the high level executive but the hourly employee who he claims to so vehemently fight for! Now you tell me if practices like this are what this country needs to pick itself up?
Oh by the way, there was one bright spot at the very end of the Newsweek article about poll #’s that was worth mentioning. It was about how Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have less than favorable poll #’s even amongst democrats for how they go about their business. People felt that they are more concerned with their own agendas rather than getting things done. Since it was in Newsweek I guess it must be true…
And based on this author’s polling numbers…he thinks that they’re both BONEHEADS!
