Forty-six percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends).

New Obama Plans: 'Spend Our Way Out' Of Downturn...

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama outlined new multibillion-dollar stimulus and jobs proposals Tuesday, saying the nation must continue to "spend our way out of this recession" until more Americans are back at work.

Without giving a price tag, Obama proposed a package of new spending for highway, bridge and other infrastructure projects, deeper tax breaksfor small businesses and tax incentives to encourage people to make their homes more energy efficient.

Obama's Afghan Speech

Besides the utter hypocrisy in giving a speech that I think Bush or John McCain gave, I really have to give Obama high marks for his speech. I liked it. I have several problems with some of the details, but I think he walked a fine line and walked it well.

I think someone on the radio summed it up best: Obama pissed off the ultra-left and ultra-right and if you can do that you are probably doing something right. Amen.

War-Monger: Obama doubles Afghan War

President Obama will outline Tuesday his intention to send an additional 34,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan, according to U.S. officials and diplomatic sources briefed Monday as Obama began informing allies of his plan.

The new deployments, along with 22,000 troops he authorized early this year, would bring the total U.S. force in Afghanistan to more than 100,000, more than half of which will have been sent to the war zone by Obama.

-------------------------------------

Of all the broken campaign promises this seems to be the most dangerous.

Let's face the facts people: The Iraq War troop surge of 2007 added approx 24,000 troops.

(In 2007 Bush ordered the deployment of more than 20,000 soldiers into Iraq, five additional brigades, and sent the majority of them into Baghdad.^[2] He also extended the tour of 4,000 Marines already in the Anbar Province area.)

In 10 months Obama will have ordered 56,000 troops into a war zone.

Not only has Obama double the size of the Afghan War, but he more than doubled The Bush Iraq Surge!!!
