Even the Poor Are Abandoning Obama, According to Gallup Poll Data
(CNSNews.com) 
- In every week of his presidency until now, Barack Obama has enjoyed a majority approval rating in the Gallup Poll from people earning less than $2,000 per month. But that changed in the Gallup survey conducted from Aug. 2-8, when only 49 percent of Americans in that income bracket said they approve of the job Obama is doing. This marks the first time since Obama was inaugurated on January 20, 2009, when Americans in all four of the income brackets reported in Gallup’s weekly survey of presidential approval gave Obama less than 50 percent approval.

Gen. Michael Nagata told reporters in a conference call from Pakistan. Some conspiracy theories say that U.S. forces deployed in Pakistan could also be used against terrorists.

Sensitivities 
By Rich Galen
It seems that every time we turn around, America is being told that we have somehow run afoul of some precept or another of Muslim sensibilities and, because religious freedom is very important to us, we try to do better. It cannot be lost on the backers of this Mosque that it is, if not cheek-by-jowl to Ground Zero, it is close enough to be seen by many Americans - even those of good will toward Muslims - as mocking the attacks of 9/11. Manhattan is a big place. Put the Mosque somewhere else and quit insulting us by asking us to pretend that the proposed location is just happenstance.

How Obama Is Locking Up Our Land
By Michelle Malkin
Have you heard of the “Great Outdoors Initiative”? Chances are, you haven’t. But across the country, White House officials have been meeting quietly with environmental groups to map out government plans for acquiring untold millions of acres of both public and private land. It’s another stealthy power grab through executive order that promises to radically transform the American way of life.

Barack Obama’s Kool-Aid for America
It is increasingly evident with every passing day that Barack Obama is America’s Jim Jones, undermining the U.S. Constitution while urging Americans to drink his Kool-Aid lies. Need a reminder? Here are a few:
