BloggeRhythms

On Fox News this morning, guests Melisa Francis of the Fox Business Network and Byron York of the Washington Examiner surprised host, Bill Hemmer, telling him that the incumbent’s approval ratings on health care and the economy are the highest of all performance ratings currently measured.
 
When Hemmer expressed his shock regarding the statistics, the two went on to explain that the reason for the two categories being the best was that all the others were so very low.
 
Looking up the data this morning, averaging most major polls, I found that roughly 26% of respondents think the nation’s heading in the right direction. Just 38% approve of national security efforts and 52% disapprove of overall job performance. At the same time, only 40% polled are satisfied with the economy, the same result as heath care. 
 
Therefore, what’s taking place isn’t a growing approval number at all, but instead all of the other categories measured are sinking to the extent that approximately 60% of those polled believe a miserable job’s being done across the board, regardless.
 
At the same a Fox Poll showed that “Fifty six percent of voters surveyed disapprove of Obama’s handling of the current border crisis, 31 percent approve. The poll’s respondents were more closely split on what should be done with the mostly juvenile migrants: 45 percent said they should be deported immediately, 40 percent said they should be allowed to stay.
 
One of the reasons for such low approval ratings can be seen by the way Democrats manipulate situations for political advantage, instead of trying to solve problems effectively and expeditiously. 
 
House Republican are currently pushing a $1.5 billion proposal to provide essential funding for border agencies and alter laws to enable quicker deportation of illegal juvenile migrants. 
 
Democrats, though, are daring Republicans to vote against a bigger $2.7 billion bill, which includes no changes to deportation restrictions. And then, they’ve also attached additional funds to help Israel replenish its Iron Dome anti-missile system. 
 
Thus, in this case they’ve tied Republican wishes for increased border safety to Israel's need for protection from missile attacks. Which plays right into the hands of the White House because the prospects for a deal on either issue, or both, before the clock runs out are looking increasingly slim. Exactly what the incumbent wants. 
 
Which brings us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife.
 
Rebecca Berg of the Washington Examiner writes that two books by right-leaning authors: Blood Feud: The Clintons vs. The Obamas by Ed Klein and Clinton, Inc.: The Audacious Rebuilding of a Political Machine by Daniel Halper, are both outselling Bill’s wife’s tome. What’s more, indications are that another, The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of Presidents by Ronald Kessler, to be released August 5th, will do the same.
 
As a result, and instead of realizing that the general public is making buying decisions that indicate other authors are producing material more preferable to them, the “Clinton’s allies are working to discredit Halper’s and Kessler’s books in a more aggressive fashion, as they have with Klein’s, dismissing their authors as “despicable” and agenda-driven.”
 
But, if you stop and think about it, if you searched the planet you couldn’t find any individuals more self-serving, agenda driven or money-seeking than the Clinton’s themselves. Which indicates another problem for them. Because other than collecting ransom from institutions hedging their bets by paying exorbitant fees for meaningless speaking engagements, no one else seems to have an interest in anything Bill’s wife says or writes about.  
 
Then, there was this comment following the article from one of the on-line readers, Mike120260 commiebasher, who wrote: “The only good thing about her winning the Presidency would be that we wouldn't have to pay her as much.”
 
And lastly, the Daily Caller notes: “[Dr. Ben Carson]’s ‘One Nation’ significantly outsold Clinton’s ‘Hard Choices’ for the week ending July 20. While Clinton’s book sold 10,000 copies, Carson’s sold 16,000.” A sales result that speaks for itself.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
