Yes, that's the smart thing to do. You can hear the propaganda from Obama so you know what the current liberal lies are, then get the truth from Levin.

I'm not sure he can make it any worse than it already is....... and he refuses to tackle the big issues like food stamp/welfare/Medicaid reform because his welfare base won't allow him to.....he demonizes businesses that are actually making profits in this Obama economy......... so what's the point?

What could he possibly say or do to shore up the economy before the end of his term?

Five years is plenty of time to build economic credibility. I don't know of anyone who seriously considers this President an economic policy powerhouse. I'm thinking he should shut up and do what he does best: Lead from the back of the pack.
Oh but he created 7 million jobs! And saved Detroit. lol

85 percent of incumbents will be re-elected in the house with an approval rate of what, 10 percent?

I dont want to hear you guys talking about not voting for the incumbent R or D when you will just go and vote for the R or the D in the end.

Funny how with liberals, as long as you get filthy rich in Hollywood, you're a good rich. If you get rich building a business and employing people, you're a bad rich.

Michelle Obama: White House Concerts for 'Rich' and 'Fancy' People - Washington Whispers (usnews.com)

The Obamas have taken great pride in starting the White House concert series, "In Performance at the White House." But first lady Michelle Obama was also fairly frank about who gets to sit in the audience.

Talking to a group of local students Monday morning at the White House, she broke down the demographics: "Whenever we have musicians or artists or movie stars come here to perform -- which these folks will be doing this evening for a bunch of rich people and fancy people and all of that, right -- the most fun is when we invite young people like all of you here during the day so that you get a chance to talk to these folks and learn from them."

If this is a direct quote, she's dumber than we've been led to believe. Who uses the expression "fancy people", and what exactly are "fancy people"?

I do! I do! I do! Good laughs are not easy to come by today!

The biggest laugh comes every month when they report the meaningless, long-antiquated unemployment rate! The few people around that still take that rate seriously are the ones that still believe that Nixon is still alive!

I agree with your overall idea, but you are using that number incorrectly.

Congress as a WHOLE (all of the House and all of the Senate) have an approval rating of 10%.

BUT WHEN YOU ASK PEOPLE IF THEY LIKE THEIR INDIVIDUAL REP OR SENATOR they approve. Individuals in congress tend to have approval ratings above 50%.

The problem is, that most people don't realize that Obama is part of the problem AND that their congress member is also part of the problem.
