A new poll out today looked at how Obama is doing against each of the Republicans in the "swing states" that were very closely divided in 2008.
The states are Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Florida and Virginia.
Obama is ahead.

What struck me as interesting is that the poll was done by Fox News.

And the only reason the Moslems knew about it was that they took the material (and the library) from the Greeks of Byzantium. Moreover the Islamic flowering was confined th the rile of the Umyyads in the West and the persians in the East. The rest were (except for a brief period in Andalusia) intolerant book burners.

Oh, you mean they were just like the Christians.

Reality is about to set upon Obama's followers...

Obama's popularity could take a hit if gas prices continue to spike

oh, I don't think we need to worry about that, because the electorate REALLY dislikes the Republican candidates:

@MontereyJack,


You may not be worried, but Obama sure is and he and his ilk should be.

Of course Republicans aren't worried, they're panicking.

@MontereyJack,


No panic present on the right, but justified widespread panic is prevalent on the left.

When gas hit $3 under Bush, Matt Lauer blamed Republicans.

When gas hit $3.75 under Obama, Matt Lauer blames Republicans.

What Obama didn't tell you about his budget

By Neal Boortz

Here’s something that appeared in Obama’s budget that he hasn’t mentioned. On page 1,318 of Obama’s budget, he quietly puts an end to the infamous DC voucher program.

For those of you who don’t remember, this was a program established in 2004 which awarded vouchers to children in DC to attend private schools. The results were remarkable. According to the Heritage Foundation, student academic achievement surpassed their peers in government schools and graduation rates increased significantly: “While graduation rates in D.C. Public Schools hover around 55 percent, students who used a voucher to attend private school had a 91 percent graduation rate.” Not to mention the fact that this private education ($8,000) cost less than half of what it costs to educate a child at DC government schools ($18,000)!

There was a problem though. Teacher’s unions didn’t like the voucher program … not one little bit. They got to work and defeated the DC mayor who initiated it, then went to work on Obama. It worked. Now Obama’s budget calls for the end of the program, instead funneling $36 million to DC government schools. According to ObamaNomics, this will save us $20 million. For a man who has played the class warfare card, saying that we need more money to invest in education for our children … it seems that he only means investment in government institutions, run by government bureaucrats and staffed by union members. This has NOTHING to do with the quality of education and everything to do with his re-election and with power.

By the way … Obama’s children go to a private school in Washington, not to one of he government schools to which he has sentenced other DC children.

@H2O MAN,
What BOORTZ didn't tell you about page 1318 of Obama's budget!!

http://bookstore.gpo.gov/collections/budget.jsp

It seems page 1318 doesn't exist in the budget since the printed budget is 255 pages long.

@H2O MAN,
But when you read 1318 of the APPENDIX it states this..

Quote:
The Budget does not provide
new funds for the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship program, a
private school voucher program re-authorized in 2011. Based on
the amount of available program funding carried forward from
prior fiscal years, the program has sufficient funds to provide
private school vouchers to currently enrolled students through
the 2013–2014 school year as well as to make new awards to re-
place a significant portion of spaces that become available through
attrition during that timeframe.

So BOORTZ is his usual lying self. The school voucher program has funds for the next 2 years so no money was allocated this budget. No one is ending the program in this budget.

Boortz is a liar!!

@H2O MAN,
Perhaps you can link to the part of the budget that eliminates the program.

Oh.. you can't because I already posted what the budget says about it.
