Judge it!Wow, are you ever not paying attention to Tim Pawlenty. He's got his fundraising instrument all set up, and he's been banging every drum he can find to get name recognition out there. There's no doubt he's testing the water; he's got his foot so far in he's practically treading it at this point.Pawlenty isn't even running for President in 2012. Is the Obama camp so hard up for any good news about Obama that they're willing to make it up? Why would someone even conduct a poll about Running for President that includes someone that isn't even running? I know Obama hasn't accomplished anything but, to make up this silliness and then endorse it as if it mattered is downright desperate. What's next? Are they going to say that the Obama family dog does more tricks than some random politician's iguana?
This is all just silly rhetoric invented by some sheep to draw attention away from the horrible job that Obama is doing as President. We all know that he has managed to accomplish nothing. So, what beeter way to make him look good than to pick a random politician to pit him against in a poll about an election that the politician isn't even going to be in?
Silly, just silly.

I'm from Massachusetts. Why would I pay attention the Governor of Minnesota? Have the people of Minnesota been watching random governors across the country? Apparently, he's banging the wrong drums. I know, let's put Obama against the Governor of California, he's not even a natural born citizen and doesn't even qualify for POTUS. But, hey, that doesn't matter does it? As long as the numbers are in Obama's favor, the details don't matter. Maybe we can open up a phone book from Alta, UT (Population 370), close our eyes and point at a name to put him against in a poll. As long as we can keep the numbers favorable for Obama and keep the many dismal failures of his administration out of the news, we're all set. At the end of the day, this poll means absolutely nothing. Obama's current Approval rating for today is 46%. That is a -13 index, yes Negative Thirteen. With that said, he is beating an unpopular governor in a poll that the polling company calls a "hypothetical contest." It's right in the story, read it. So, hypothetically, the POTUS is more popular than an unknown Governor? It's pretty sad when you have to say that a President may hypothetically have an accomplishment when put up against an unpopular politician from Minnesota. Where are the real accomplishments? Oh, they don't "actually" exist? Well, then let's create some "hypothetical" ones. |

1 Unless you are one of the 60% of American viewers that tune in and watch it while the other networks split the remaining 40%. They must be doing something right. |

1 Yes, and like Dancing With The Stars, Survivor, American Idol, and the Bachelorette it has nothing to do with news. And that is perfectly OK, just don't believe that it really is the news and we'll all be fine. |

1 Exactly! Then we can make up some hypothetical people to poll Obama against in hypothetical contests. All the while, we will be diverting attention away from the real issues. Hypothetically, we could make up some hypothetical numbers and get news rags all over the nation to print the hypothetical results. Hypothetical readers can hypothetically read it and hypothetically, they'll believe it. Hypothetically, I think that we could pull this off. At least in the State of Minnesota, it's already been hypothetically proven to work there. We'll just use Minnesota's "Hypothetical Model." Hypothetically, of course. |

Yes, it is the first step. So polling to see who would win vs. a relitive unknow (as a poll lost week showed 50% of the people asked had no idea who Pawlenty was) is just dumb. As far as the other Republican front runners fairing better, well they all campained just a year and some change ago. I doubt people have forgoten Rommney or Huckabee after such a short time. |

Not after taxpayers find out about this Democratic entitlement program.
And we wonder about our democratic politicians! Trillion dollar+ budget deficit for the fiscal year 2009 and the money keeps flowing! Must be ultra income redistribution! I couldn't believe this, so I went to the web site and learned that about half of the states offer these Obama phones. I had a former employee call me earlier today inquiring about a job, and at the end of the conversation he gave me his phone number. I asked the former employee if this was a new cell phone number and he told me yes this was his "Obama phone." I asked him what an "Obama phone" was and he went on to say that welfare recipients are now eligible to receive (1) a FREE new phone and (2) approx 70 minutes of FREE minutes every month. I was a little skeptical so I Googled it and low and behold he was telling the truth. TAX PAYER MONEY IS BEING REDISTRIBUTED TO WELFARE RECIPIENTS FOR FREE CELL PHONES. This program was started earlier this year. Check it out! Absolutely Wonderful! https://www.safelinkwireless.com/EnrollmentPu ... |

1 I Googled it, too, and it's only partially correct (BTW, I don't believe you got a call from a "former employee" yourself. You don't say so, but your post is copied from an e-mail that's been circulating around the country). The program was authorized by Congress in 1997, before President Obama was elected. The law actually calls for subsidized basic cellphone service to low-income people, not just welfare recipients. Starting in 2008 (before Pressident Obama was elected) SafeLink on its own started to provide free phones, but carriers are not required to do so. You people will believe anything won't you? |

Aaaaand, if you're reading this story, it's about that very fact. Pawlenty's trying to get your attention because he clearly *is* running for President. And when you say he's not, I observe that you must not be following the story.... To which your rejoinder is that you're not following the story? ;-) |

T-Paw has not put his name in yet.....Duh!
Obama also has a huge lead over Charlie Brown, Bugs Bunny, and Garfield. But I bet that Mickey Mouse could kick obama in the --- if he put his name in! |
||||
ACORN could help him with that..... |

Daily Horoscope for December 10
Pisces
You should have a lucky break today when fate steps in and takes a hand. For instance, a situation may seem to be heading for disaster when you're suddenly bailed out in ways you would never have imagined. However, this doesn't mean you can take foolish risks in the hope that things will work out all right because there's no guaranteeing that they'll do so automatically.
