Washington (CNN) – Only four out of 10 Americans believe President Barack Obama can manage the federal government effectively, according to a new national poll.
And a CNN/ORC International survey released Monday morning also indicates that 53% of Americans now believe that Obama is not honest and trustworthy, the first time that a clear majority in CNN polling has felt that way.
(Via Politico) Democratic leaders claim the bungled launch of Obamacare is just the latest news sensation — a media-stirred tempest that looks in the heat of the moment like it could upend the midterm election, but ends up fizzling well before voters head to the polls.
Some party strategists say they’re in denial.
And that perceived gap between party spin and facts on the ground is fueling worries that the White House and Democratic higher-ups aren’t taking the possible electoral blowback seriously enough or doing enough to shield their candidates. Democratic contenders in the toughest races are distinctly less convinced that Obamacare will fade as an election-year issue — and they can’t afford to just cross their fingers that things get ironed out or that Republicans revert to political hara-kiri.

Updated – Denis McDonough is known within the DC circuit as “the fixer”.
A ‘fixer’ is the term given to a person who walks into a crisis and spearheads the clean up. McDonough’s the guy who formulated the U-tube video strategy for the Benghazi distractions; his appearance and influence are visible in all crisis situations. His reward for the Benghazi fix was his appointment to the Chief of Staff position.
The Benghazi crisis threatened to derail a re-election bid. The current crisis is Obama’s dismal credibility as the Obamacare fraud unravels and begins to destroy his presidency.
Last night, prior to POTUS going on Television to explain the Iranian nuclear deal, the White House released the following picture:
The White House controls all of the images around the president with extreme prejudice. To the exclusion of all other photographers being allowed access to customary presidential events.
This has led to media complaints highlighted recently.

How do you know this is immediate state run media propaganda? Well, setting aside the fact it’s Clinton’s White House Communications Director -who became Senior Democrat Advisor For Policy and Strategy- George Stephanopoulos doing the interview, the first sentence reveals structure and propaganda.
“I spoke to John Kerry earlier this morning right after he sealed the deal”.
“this morning” as in Europe time.
Kerry held his presser at 4:45am to 5:30am Euro time. [As in 10:45 to 11:30pm DC time]. So this interview was actually done Saturday night (midnight-ish) for airing today.
Follow.The.Bouncing.Ball…… So this interview was previously arranged/coordinated between the White House (Administration McDonough) and ABC (Pravda).
George Will: “Iran will now definitely get the [atomic] bomb” !
NRO has a detailed explanation which is 100% in-line with all the research and prior considerations we have assembled. The only point of contention I would lay over the well written article would be to remind readers it is not a construct of just Barack Obama per se’. He is, after all, merely a willing participant in the scheme. The actual architecture comes from a league of people, the circle of influence, in and around him.
( Via NRO) […] The point of showing that Obama is carrying out a massive scheme to defraud — one that certainly would be prosecuted if committed in the private sector — is not to agitate for a prosecution that is never going to happen. It is to demonstrate that there is logic to the lies. There is an objective that the fraud aims to achieve. The scheme is the framework within which the myriad deceptions are peddled. Once you understand the scheme, once you can put the lies in a rational context, you understand why fraud was the president’s only option — and why “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan” barely scratches the surface of Obamacare’s deceit.
In 2003, when he was an ambitious Illinois state senator from a hyper-statist district, Obama declared: (more…)
Twelve hours after President Obama announces a John Kerry brokered deal with Iran the international community responds.
6th Grade students given a rather concerning political identification assignment they are only allowed to do “in class”, along with an instruction “not to tell your parents about it”. Of course one of the Rebel Alliance members snuck the assignment sheet out of class and specifically told their mom/dad. Hence, you are now getting to review it. “Are You A Democrat Or Republican”?
(Tupelo Mississippi) While it is unclear if this is explicitly a Common Core assignment or not, a group of students today in Tupelo, MS had quite an interesting assignment. The sixth graders at Milam Elementary were given an assignment to do in class, and they were not to discuss this assignment with their parents.
[…] students are asked a battery of questions (Abortion, Gun Control, Healthcare, Taxes, Military, Death Penalty, Prayer In Schools, Gay Marriage, Pollution, Flag burning) each answer contains a (D) or an (R) next to it. Ultimately students have their answers tallied up by the teacher and are graded as either (D) or (R). Click Here For Hi-res Image
Naturally, telling a group of kids between the ages of ten and eleven to not tell their parents about an assignment is probably the surest way for them to tell their parents. In fact, it is typically a way to ensure a student sneaks a copy home. (more…)
No doubt Denis McDonough and Valerie Jarrett are putting the final touches and approvals together for POTUS to obfuscate in a propaganda speech. They, along with the Cintons and Samantha Powers, will need to construct the verbiage carefully to hide their intention of undermining the Progressive Fabian arch-nemesis, Israel. Choosing to announce at 10:30 on football night lets them slip in a few s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s !
GENEVA — Iran and six major powers agreed early Sunday on an historic deal that freezes key parts of Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for temporary relief on some economic sanctions, diplomats confirmed.
