O'Donnell wasn't talking about the public, she was referring to the Tea Party.


this is where folks call apples oranges right from the beginning.....THERE IS NO TEA PARTY.....it's NOT a party.....it's a movement......NO FAIR SHAKES.....JUST SHAKE DOWNS......


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The Tea Party MOVEMENT was ALWAYS about shakedowns........

tea party movement
1. language is used
2. knowledge/research
3. doesn't want other peoples $$

occupy wallstreet movement
1. taking up space
2. no research
3. want's others to hand it over

collectively they can do something,,,,,but choice B alone could have a Rome Effect......once Rome opened the 'store houses' to quell the masses there was nothing left for them to do....they never fixed the system and Rome just withered...

Obama raises money for re-election bid   
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama has met with a small number of donors at a Washington fundraiser to benefit his re-election bid.

Democratic Party officials say about 20 people attended the fundraiser at The Jefferson hotel in downtown Washington. Tickets cost $35,800 a person, with the money going to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising account by the Democratic Party and Obama's re-election campaign.

The White House says the event was closed to the media because the president wasn't making formal remarks.

Obama has raised more than $150 million through the end of September for his campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Looks like Obama is collecting his "fair share" from those "fat cats".

Brownstein's analysis:

In 2008, he carried 52% of those college-educated white women, but attracted much smaller shares among college-educated white men (42%), white women without a college degree, the so-called waitress moms (41%), and the non-college white men (just 39%).

The new survey shows that with all four groups his approval rating is appreciably lower than his 2008 performance. He's fallen to 42% of the college-educated white women, 37% among the college-plus white men, just 34% among the non-college white men and all the way down to 30% with the waitress moms.

Looking at whites by age underlines the picture of broad-based weakness. In 2008, Obama carried a 54% majority of whites under 30; but in the new poll his approval rating with them has tumbled to 39%.

His standing with white seniors now is almost identical: in 2008, he won only 40% of them, and his approval rating with them now is 41%. His numbers are lowest with whites in the prime working years: just 29% of whites (age) 30-44, and 35 % of whites (age) 45-64 say they approve of his performance. In 2008, he won 41% of the former and 42% of the latter.

Among all whites, now just 35% approve of his performance and 58% disapprove. That's virtually identical to the results in the 2010 congressional election, when whites gave 60% of their votes to Republicans and just 37% to Democrats, according to the National Election Pool exit poll conducted by Edison Research. ...

In eight Heartland Monitor polls since January 2010, Obama's approval rating among whites has exceeded 40% just once.

When the winner gets 25%, and there are only three choices, means the vast majority oppose him... 75%, or they have no preference at all.

How about when you get NO CHOICES?  Looks like the vast majority oppose him or have no opinion at all.

In the first example, people are offered a multiple choice... pick one ( or none)
In your second example, people are asked if they approve or disapprove...
One doesn't necessarily project the other:

Those who disapprove of Obama's performance (58%) still might vote for Obama over the other options.
(BTW, I'm one of the 58%)

Barack Obama and Bill Clinton EULOGIZE high ranking democrat and former KKK member Robert Byrd, and Box is trying to paint Paul like a racist for the words of a ghost writer.  TOO FUNNY!!!

YUP!
Byrd, at least early in his career, was a racist.
Byrd later denied or minimized much of his racism... much like Ron Paul does today.
