Fox News gets accused by the far to the socialist left in the United States for being too far to the right; but perhaps sometimes, especially of late, and long since Rupert Murdoch has climbed into bed with the Saudis, it definitely appears that the once staunch conservative network is scratching backs at the other end.
On Friday, May 20, 2011, a story on FoxNews.com by Dana Blanton titled, "Fox News Poll: Voters Say Country in Worse Shape, Still Expect Obama Will Prevail in 2012" made a lot of heads turn saying, "Huh?"
It seems to me that the only ones who are not affected by the outrageous conditions and actions of this Administration are those who are so indebted to Obama for his giveaway programs that their support is an automatic given. This bloc represents about one fourth of our voting population; mainly blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, welfare rolls, non-educated, and dichotomously, the academia pinheads along with a sprinkling of seniors.
Large numbers of individuals in these cliques could see their Obama giveaways dissipate should politics swing in an opposite direction.
Many of these dependents on the largesse of the Administration are at risk of becoming too closely identified with Obama and his profligacy with taxpayers' dollars and could be on the short end of things should a massive reversal of political fortunes occur at any given time.
Enormous numbers of voters are taxpayers who have begun to feel the sting of Obama's costly programs through increased taxes or cuts in areas that his Administration has pared back in services. With this in mind it is why I wonder if the FoxNews.com poll may have been heavily concentrated in the Detroit or Washington, DC area where the numbers of Obama supporters are draconian and extreme, to use two descriptive words oh so familiar to liberal Democrats.
If a poll was conducted with an aim of tilting it in a certain direction there are different ways of doing the canvassing for opinion votes. To get a favorable opinion vote for a particular individual, greater emphasis would be made in areas where that particular individual was overly popular and favored. Conversely, the opposite results would occur if the poll was conducted in these same areas should his opponent be the subject of the polling.
And there are other ways of "fudging" polls to make a certain point, mainly in the art of language deflection or favorably using certain flattering word descriptions in the poll question or interrogation; or confusing the subject matter of the question to where it is too difficult to intelligently respond.
But with all the negatives that Obama has created with his performances primarily in foreign lands where he has decried and denigrated the country that made him an instant rags to riches millionaire, while lauding radical Islam and its people who provide and represent the greatest source of militant enemies to our people, how could any true American honestly vote to return this man to the office of the presidency?
And the still not definitely answered question of his eligibility to even hold that office is a detriment that should give any intellectually minded person second thoughts for such an important position. His constant actions and words reflect an undermining of our positions in world affairs along with surrendering many of our rights to the corrupt and greedy United Nations, who overwhelmingly out vote us in that chamber.
His cavalier and often denigrating treatment to some of our most loyal and persevering foreign nation friends such as Israel and Great Britain only help to cause strained and restive relations with these steadfast partners.
Obama jokes about the efforts of what his people sneeringly call the "birthers", a title meant to imply a laughable and derisive element to honest seekers of the truth of his heavily secretive and secluded personal facts and data all under deep seated lock and key and covered by millions of dollars to remain that way.
JUST WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF AND HIDING, MR. OBAMA? WHY CAN'T YOU BE OPEN AND HONEST INSTEAD OF STEALTHILY PILING ON OBSTACLES TO SECURE YOUR DIRTY SECRETS?
This FoxNews.com poll commented on by Dana Blanton is among early signs of Fox News' slippage to the left and support for Obama. Ms. Blanton herself leads her coverage with an oxymoronic note saying, "Despite a majority believing the country is in worse shape than it was four years ago, American voters -- by a wide margin -- think President Barack Obama will be re-elected in 2012"
Pardon me for my cynicism, but I rather doubt that with a majority believing the country is in worse shape than four years ago would vote to re-elect the culprit most responsible for that condition. I just flat out reject that notion. We do have a lot of stupid people in this country; that was proven in 2008 when 70 million voted for Obama; but surely, at least HALF of those have come to realize that we are in suicide mode by thinking Obama reelection in 2012.
I just conducted a poll of one and it stated: "No Obama in 2012."
