Dateline: Copenhagen, Denmark; December 14, 2009

Tony Blair, the ex-Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the aspiring first President of the European Union said today at the, now notorious, Copenhagen Conference.

“We must take action on the issue of climate change even if the science is not correct.”.

Now his opponents in the UK will not be surprised with this revelation but maybe you will. And this was in the wake of the disappearance of the University of East Anglia’s web site and the resignation of the illustrious head of their “Climate Research” facility and the destruction of all their raw data. But yet, politicians can strut out and lie through their teeth?

Is it any wonder then, that the polls in this country reflect these truths and Obama is no longer immune.

Today Rasmussen reports that the margin of likely voters who favor Obama is at a minus 18%. And, for those from Lake Havasu City, that means that while only 44% “Strongly Approve, there's a helluva' lot more that don't and that gap keeps on widening. Now, also keep in mind that we're talking about likely voters here because, in the cold light of day, the rest don’t really matter.. Brutal perhaps but it’s politics and it is life,.

Either lead or follow or get the heck out of the way.

I love numbers. So, here’s a few more!

Now most of them track with the statistic detailed above and you can make up your own mind anyway about those and the ones that follow.

For a start, 40% of Americans describe themselves as conservative, 36% as independents and only 20% as liberal. The strange thing is that only one quarter of the latter describe themselves as such. It seems they would much prefer to be known as “Progressives”. Odd that liberals want to run away from their flag while conservatives are proud to display ours,

Old Glory!!

But I digress, because I have yet to mention the Gallop Generic poll which gives the edge to Republicans over Democrats by 18 points. Amazing how that tracks with this weeks Rasmussen isn’t it?

And, were I the type to drive in the knife, I would also point out that, even in the post-George Bush era, as of this weekend, only 50% like the idea of Obama in the Oval Office while 44% would prefer Bush.. Do you remember how reviled he was? And as for the missing 6%, they're waiting for Elvis to return.

Is that an indictment or what?

Finally, I do not personally endorse this, but 20% of independents support the idea of impeaching Obama. Then ,of course, they always will until Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich is sworn in.

I’ll will leave you today with a this thought:-

Obama was on Wall Street today. Or perhaps Wall Street was summoned unto the” Great One”. Anyway, as we saw on the Sunday talk shows, he is angry with the “Fat Cats”
