Obama, Policies Failing

Morning Bell. EPA admits cap and tax won't materially fix global warming. Oh, and the CBO analysis merely is an accounting of the bill, not an economic analysis of the damage to the economy and the cost to the American family:

When the economic costs of Waxman-Markey are included, the harm to American families skyrockets. According to Heritage’s Center for Data Analysis Waxman-Markey will decrease GDP in 2020 by $161 billion (2009 dollars). For a family of four, that is $1,870 that the CBO simply ignores.

For a while his popularity was unaffected by the profligate spending (for no jobs) and radical liberal agenda he shares with the Dem-run Congress, but that's changing, as we've seen in recent polling. Obama's job approval is slipping, (no wonder) among a key group. Politico:

But a source of the shift appears to be independent voters, who seem to be responding to Republican complaints of excessive spending and government control.

“This is a huge sea change that is playing itself out in American politics,” said Democratic pollster Doug Schoen. “Independents who had become effectively operational Democrats in 2006 and 2008 are now up for grabs and are trending Republican.

“They’re saying, ‘Costing too much, no results, see the downside, not sure of the upside,’” he said.

The Tea Party movement and many in the GOP are running against the power of the center--Obama and his Chicago Way Crony [Illinois still managed to screw it up] Big Government. As President Obama once at least paid lip service to, Americans want a government that works. And Americans want a country that prospers--a government that's part of the problem needs to get out of the way, or we'll throw them out of office. Roll back the planned big government spending, cut debt, cut taxes to put money back in people's pockets and get America moving again.

P.S. And that's why many of us were so upset with Rep. Mark Kirk on cap and tax--he went for a massive tax increase, skyrocketing energy costs and a huge expansion of government--with a bogus (based on questionable science) bill that will not work to reduce the emissions he claims to care about.

More polling on independents around the country.
