Poor Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Is Too Stupid to Know Which Minority Obama Is

To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, "Well, there she goes again!" Sheila Jackson Lee, the woman who, every day tries to show that Barbara Boxer is only the second dumbest person in Congress,  made another really dumb comment.  This time she says that the GOP is only pushing this debt ceiling debate because Barak Obama is different.  She says that people in the minority community wonder what makes this President so different. Uh-oh, that's what I mean, the Congresswoman from Texas, knows that the GOP-caused debt limit debate has nothing to do with the fact that our country is over $14.5 trillion dollars in debt and the economy is in the toilet, no it is all caused by the fact that the President is a minority.


See the video below (if you can't see video click here).



Poor Congresswoman Jackson Lee, she knows that Obama is different, part of a minority, but doesn't know what makes him different.  In fact, she believes that the entire minority community doesn't know why President Obama different.

Allow me to suggest that as good Americans, we should help the Congresswoman out. We should try and figure out what makes Obama different. We shouldn't be taxing her poor undersized brain like that.

Hey, maybe she thinks he is different because the two are in the same minority!

Lets see what minority could they could be in together:

Well...there was the time she stood on the floor of the house  discussing how North and South Vietnam are living peacefully side by side, even though there hasn't been both a North and South Vietnam since Gerald Ford was President.

Wait! Jackson Lee likes to blurt out the most stupid thing at the most inopportune time. Maybe that's the minority...No it can't be that. Gaffes are the SHMOTUS, Joe Biden's job in the administration, not the POTUS

Maybe the President is in the minority of people who are too stupid to understand recent world history? Nah, President Obama is a lot of things, stupid is  not one of them.

Then there was the time Jackson Lee told the House Judiciary Committee that the “penalty” in the health-care law enacted last year by Congress imposes on individuals who do not buy health insurance is not in fact a penalty.

The law itself states: “If an applicable individual fails to meet the requirement of subsection (a) [having a government-approved health-insurance policy]… there is hereby imposed a penalty with respect to the individual.”

Elsewhere, in a section entitled “Payment of Penalty,” it says that individuals failing to carry a government-approved health insurance policy must pay a maximum penalty of $750

But in Sheila Jackson-Lee's twisted logic, a penalty is not a penalty even when it's called a penalty.

“I would make the argument, one, that instead it is an incentive to do right--that it is not penalizing because penalty is punishment,” Jackson-Lee told the Judiciary Committee.

The President cannot be part of the minority of people who doesn't understand what a penalty is, after all ever since he was inaugurated he has been penalizing successful people.

So what is the mysterious minority?  Sheila Jackson Lee cannot be implying that the GOP is trying to get President  Obama to start cutting the overblown budget, just because he is half-white?  That does make him different.  It also makes him a minority.  But that can't be it also, we have had Presidents who were not only half-white, but entirely caucasian and he isn't being treated any different. To be honest, when you look at the Media, this President cannot do any wrong. Maybe the President is in a different minority than Jackson Lee.

Wait ! I figured it out, the minority that Jackson Lee  is talking about must be Presidents who ran up the deficit in 2 years more than any other chief executive in history ran up the deficit in their entire term? Or the only President in history, who by the end of his (first)  term will have run up a deficit equal to the US deficit created during the first 230 years of its history.

 That has to be it, because the only other choice would be that the Congresswoman believes the GOP is pushing the budget debate only because Barack Obama is African American (well half).  And that would be too stupid even for Sheila Jackson Lee, whose brain bill is years over-due.

Since we are not sure what Congresswoman Jackson Lee means, and we shouldn't really should tax her brain (it may explode) please help us help her out.  Please vote for the for the minority Sheila Jackson Lee is talking about.  In a week or so, we will send the results to the reason-challenged Congresswoman so her brain could return to its normal idle state.

Why Gallup's Analysis of Jewish Voters is Dishonest

There it was in bold Gallup-type headlines.

Solid Majority of Jewish Americans Still Approve of Obama Changes in approval among Jews continues to reflect broader U.S. patterns.

The problem with the headline is that it is Dishonest.

Assuming  the overall Jewish American approval numbers are correct, they gave President Barack Obama a 60% job approval rating in June, down from 68% in May, but statistically unchanged from 64% in April and drastically below the 83% at the beginning of 2009, but its the comparison to the general population that is disingenuous.

Gallup's monthly trend in Jewish approval of Obama continues to roughly follow the path of all Americans' approval of the president, more generally, as it has since Obama took office in January 2009. The 14-percentage-point difference in the two groups' approval ratings in June -- 60% among U.S. Jews vs. 46% among all U.S. adults -- is identical to the average gap seen over the past two and a half years. However, the monthly graph is somewhat variable due to the lower monthly sample size of Jewish respondents (around 350).

The problem with the comparison is that Jews can't be compared with the total US Population, they are far more liberal-Democratic than the average voter.  According to Gallup US Party affiliation as of May, broke down as follows:

But the latest Gallup figure I could find for Jewish party affiliation (Sept 2009) shows that American Jews are almost 50% more likely to be Democrats than the average American.

Why is this important? Because Obama's approval rating has not fallen  of as much for Democrats as it has for Republicans.  Using numbers from April 2009 and May 2011 Gallup reports we find that the Democrat approval fall off is less than a third of the total US figures.

The Chart below is for illustrative purposes only, and not does not necessarily reflect the actual Gallup numbers which at this point are not available.  If one were to adjust the total US numbers to reflect a party split similar to that of the Jewish voters above (66% Dem, 27% GOP, 7% Independents) and compare that number to the fall off of the Jewish vote we find:

Using the May numbers (which are available but different than the ones Gallup reported today) we find that the adjusted fall off of Obama approval is much less than that of the "total US figures (21% to 34%).  We also find that the fall off of Jewish approval of President Obama is more than twice that of adjusted numbers. While I wouldn't use the exact numbers I am confident in saying that the fall off of the President's approval, is much larger than that of the equivalent general population. In other words, Gallup's main proposition is wrong.

With a major organization such as Gallup when there is a "bogus" survey, it usually is in the sample mix (i.e. weighted to heavy toward one group), or the analysis.

Without having the sample mix for Gallup, I cannot comment on that,  but the entire set-up of the analysis is misleading at best, intentionally dishonest at worst. First of all, taking a look at the approval point spread  difference as Gallup does at the start of its analysis doesn't make sense because the  Total US and Jewish Vote fall offs are working off of different bases. Ten percentage points off of 60% is a bigger hit than 10% off of 80% something that Gallup does not acknowledge.

More important is the fact that comparing President Obama's loss of approval in the Jewish community, which is 66% Democratic,  to the loss of approval of the entire population which is only 43% Democratic is not an honest comparison because the President has maintained his approval much better amongst Democratic voters.

The old proverb says there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics. Today Gallup's Jewish vote survey has proved that proverb very true.

Rasmussen Reports...Obama's Approval "Falls Off The Cliff"

Between Debbie Wassserman Schultz' claim that the economy was turning around, and Obama's joke about shovel ready projects, if the President, and the progressive Democratic party leadership has proven anything over the past few days, it is that they are out of touch with the American people. And the American people are beginning to understand the progressive's distance from the voters.

There is a wealth of polling data coming from Rasmussen over the past few days, that signal problems for the President.  For example the chart below reflects the President's overall approval/disapproval ratings since his Bin Laden announcement.

You will notice that right after the announcement the President's approval (Blue line) took a bump up, but that advantage was quickly dissipated. For the next month, the approval/disapproval numbers remained close until the bad economic data and comments such as the ones described above began to take their toll. Today there is a nine percent spread between those who disapprove (54%) and those who approve (45%) of the President's performance.

What should be particularly troubling for the President is that 62% of independent voters disapprove of Obama's performance (37% approve).  Independents are likely to be the difference in the 2012.


Obama's approval index shows the same pattern. Approval index is the difference between those who strongly approve and strongly disapprove of the president's performance. This number is important because a voter with a strong opinion regarding a president's performance is more likely to work for or against the reelection of that president. Obama's approval index was at a -11 at the time if the Bin Laden mission.


It remained approximately in the same place until late last week when it fell to -19.  Just like the overall approval numbers, the independent voters show a strong negative feeling about Obama's performance with a -29 approval index.

Approval numbers are not the only statistic indicating voter frustration with President Obama.

• Almost two thirds of voters (65%) feel the country is going in the wrong direction

• 44% of voters blame the lousy economy on Obama (vs 49% who blame Bush). Last month it was only 39% blaming Obama, and 54% Bush.  Just as important is the fact that more independents (45%) blame Obama than Bush (44%).

• Only 28% of all voters and 23% of independents trust Obama on the economy more than they trust themselves.

• The President is seen as very liberal. 42% of voters see Obama as very liberal, 24% as somewhat liberal. Only 25% see him as a moderate. Independents generally agree, 39% see him as very liberal, 28% see him as somewhat liberal and only 23% see him as a moderate.  As US voters tend to be center-right, those very liberal numbers should be a concern for Obama's reelection team.

Putting it all together it is all bad news for the President. The only  good news (for him) is that there is a very long time between now and November 2012.  Over the next 17 months the Republicans need to keep pounding on the Presidential poor economic performance to ensure that America can elect a new president and turn itself around.

Top Black Democrat Declares Opposition to Obama Based on Race

On Wednesday, the Commerce Department announced that durable goods orders dropped 3.6 percent, worse than economists’ expectations for a 2.2 percent fall. They also announced that driven by the lack of buyers, the price of new homes continued to deflate. Thursday, it was announced that weekly first-time unemployment claims rose to 424,000 (in February that number was 375,000 — lower, but still very high).

If you believe Congressman James Clyburn (D-SC), corporations stopped buying durable goods, home buyers put their plans on hold, and people quit their jobs on purpose — all to make the president look bad. Why would they want to do that?

Racism of course.

Clyburn didn’t say it directly, but he certainly implied as much in this interview with McClatchy Newspapers. The House minority whip declared the cause of President Obama’s problems is racism.
