GOP knows that Obama will win a gain in 2012! GOP have gone chicken and knows that the battle is al (805)

President Obama is taking a beating on the his approvals since the debt events of this last week. He has dropped 3 points in one poll to 40%
It a recent Gallup, he is at 41%. In both they have 50% disapproving of his handling of the debt crisis. Sure Congress is getting clobbered as well. But in 2012, the Congress does not run against the President.

Drop five more point, and the US will see a new President in 2012.

Also this. In 10 states that the President narrowly one in 2008. 6 of them have him with disapprovals of 50% or more. Most of the 10 states have unemployment of over 8%. This really has the DEM 2012 re-election committee stumbling. They have to find more battle ground states to make up for these were he is running behind.

So we are starting to see a red and blue state map that does not favor the President.

I would replace "exposing" with "being"

This is a 101 lecture for liberals. It will explain "life". I would have typed the transcript but I knew there would be a challenge for ya'll since he does use words beyond 4 letters.

Enjoy.

Hoosiers don't consider Evensville a part of Indiana. We let Ky. have it.

Explain that political gain.

Though construction generally is the best-paying work for undocumented immigrants, the state's agriculture industry has depended on these workers also. Now, more are heading back to Mexico where opportunities are improving.

There are fewer undocumented immigrants in California – and the Sacramento region – because many are now finding the American dream south of the border.

"It's now easier to buy homes on credit, find a job and access higher education in Mexico," Sacramento's Mexican consul general, Carlos González Gutiérrez, said Wednesday. "We have become a middle-class country."

Mexico's unemployment rate is now 4.9 percent, compared with 9.4 percent joblessness in the United States.
An estimated 300,000 undocumented immigrants have left California since 2008, though the remaining 2.6 million still make up 7 percent of the population and 9 percent of the labor force, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.

Among metropolitan areas with more than 1 million residents, Sacramento County ranks among the lowest, with an unauthorized population of 4.6 percent of its 1.4 million residents in 2008, according to Laura Hill, a demographer with the PPIC.

The Sacramento region, suffering from 12.3 percent unemployment and the construction bust, may have triggered a large exodus of undocumented immigrants, González Gutiérrez said.

The best-paid jobs for undocumented migrants are in the building industry, "and because of the severe crisis in the construction business here, their first response has been to move into the service industry," González Gutiérrez said. "But that has its limits. Then, they move to other areas in the U.S. to find better jobs – or back to Mexico."Hill said it's hard to know whether the benefit of having fewer undocumented migrants outweighs the cost to employers and taxpayers.

California may have to provide less free education to the children of undocumented immigrants and less emergency medical care, she said, but it will also get less tax revenue.

In 2008, at least 836,100 undocumented immigrants filed U.S. tax returns in California using individual tax identification numbers known as ITINS, said Hill, who conducted the tax survey.

Based on those tax returns, the study found there were 65,000 undocumented immigrants in Sacramento County that year, far fewer than in many other big counties.

Sacramento's undocumented population ranked 10th in the state that year, behind Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Santa Clara, San Bernardino, Riverside, Alameda, Contra Costa and Ventura.

There were an estimated 12,000 undocumented immigrants in Yolo County; 9,000 in the Sutter-Yuba area; and 8,000 in Placer County.

An analysis of local ZIP codes showed that Sacramento (95815, 95823, 95824), West Sacramento (95605), Clarksburg (95612), Esparto (95627), Guinda (95637), Knights Landing (95645), Winters (95694) and Woodland (95776) each had an undocumented population of 10 percent to 15 percent.

Yolo County relies heavily on migrant workers to grow and harvest crops

Think of the ramifications:

Obama can say he helped address the "illegal" problem. He made things so bad in the US that they all went home.

Obama will lose the illegal vote in california.

There will be more abandon housing

Global warming will be reduced w/less people polluting the nasty california environment.

California will lose another H of R seat.

JV will be able to get a good job operating a weedeater!

After the Senate rejection of the House budget bill.....who did you say the party of NO was?

By the way.....the Boehener bill has balanced budget admendment in it that is pretty cute. It works this way. The debt ceiling is a two step increase. So before they go to the second step.....both House ad Senate have to make a balance budget admendment for the Constitution.....and taken it to the states for approval.

Now it takes 60% in both the House and Senate to pass a Constitutional admendement. Something in this lifetime very unlikely to occur. So basically that second debt step is out of reach. A final cap on the debt limit untill a balanced budget admendment is in the Constitution.

If the Senate does not come back with a balanced budget admendment in their revised bill, it ain't going to pass in the house. This country will default. The House REP are serious. There are no more blank checks in Washington.
