just 34 per cent on health care and 40 per cent on Iran

• Obama's support among young voters has disappeared, with 49 per cent now saying they disapprove of his job performance
• Hispanics' historic preference for the president shows signs of evaporating, with 43 per cent opposing him
• 52 per cent of the voting public now says Obama is not 'honest and trustworthy' and 51 per cent say he lacks 'strong leadership qualities'
• Americans who want Republicans to control both houses of Congress now outnumber those who fear one-party control

Barack Obama is facing poll numbers that are now in the same territory as President George W. Bush's following Hurricane Katrina.  The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute released numbers on Tuesday showing that just 38 per cent of registered voters approve of the job Obama is doing as president, with a whopping 56 per cent saying they disapprove.

The president has lost his landslide electoral edge among young voters, too, with a negative 41–49 per cent rating among 18- to 29-year-old voters. His once formidable support among Hispanics has also evaporated: They now support him by an historically small 50–43 per cent margin.

I laugh that Speaker Boner cried that his party foes opposed a budget "before they ever saw it."  How funny that this comes from the Chamber whose former Speaker said (of Obamacare) that "we have to pass the bill so that we can find out what is in the bill."  Mister Boner and Ms Pelosi, do you not understand why taxpaying Americans have no (ZERO) trust in CAREER POLITICIANS like the two of you? - Dale

(CNSNews.com) - House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday took a swipe at conservative groups that "came out and opposed" a bipartisan budget deal "before they ever saw it." "They're using our members, and they're using the American people for their own goals. This is ridiculous," he said at a Republican news conference. "Listen, if you're for more deficit reduction, you're for this agreement," he snapped. The Heritage Foundation said the budget deal "thoroughly disappoints," and the conservative group offers "three key facts on the sour deal":  It busts through supposed spending caps; it taxes and spends; and it spends now and delays savings until later.

Although Sen. Marco Rubio hasn't seen the House-Senate budget package agreed upon Tuesday, the Florida Republican slammed it nonetheless.

Rubio issued a statement via his official Web site, which reads, "We need a government with less debt and an economy with more good paying jobs, and this budget fails to accomplish both goals, making it harder for more Americans to achieve the American Dream. Instead, this budget continues Washington's irresponsible budgeting decisions by spending more money than the government takes in and placing additional financial burdens on everyday Americans."

The statement continues, "In the short run, this budget also cancels earlier spending reductions instead of making some tough decisions about how to tackle our long-term fiscal challenges caused by runaway Washington spending. I voted against sequestration because of its effect on key programs, including the defense budget, but higher spending and more revenue are not the appropriate ways to address that problem."

Rubio also conducted a radio interview Tuesday with Fox News' Sean Hannity to speak out against the deal reached by Democratic Sen. Patty Murray and Republican Rep. Paul Ryan.

"And my sense, from what I've read, is that this budget is going to fail to accomplish those goals," Rubio said.

I applaud James Dobson and encourage any visitor to On Target News to go to the Dobson website (http://www.drjamesdobson.org/) and scroll down to the 'Take Action' section where you will find a "Contact Us" option.  Contact him and let him know that you appreciate what he is doing. If you are a person of faith, let him know that you will pray for him. He is standing up against this government mandate from the pits of hell, and it is time for those who believe in the value of all lives and who oppose the murdering of any human life to tell our government -- "NO." - Dale

'Big Brother' tells us to: 'Comply and abandon your religious freedom, or resist and be fined for your faith'   Well, 'to hell' with 'Big Brother'! 
 

Dr. James Dobson, the longtime family values advocate who now reaches millions through his Family Talk ministry, has filed a lawsuit against Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius over the Obamacare abortion mandate.  “We believe that every human life, from the moment of conception, is sacred and a gift from God, and we cannot cooperate with this immoral mandate without violating our most deeply held religious beliefs,” Dobson said.

The case against Sebelius, the pro-abortion former Kansas governor who held parties for late-term abortionists, was brought by the Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of Dobson and Family Talk in U.S. District Court in Denver.  The Obama administration is demanding that Family Talk’s third-party insurance administrator provide abortion-inducing drugs and devices to Family Talk employees.  Whether the employees want the products is irrelevant under the Obamacare mandate, which requires the provision regardless of the beliefs of the employer and employees.

Top Secrets documents and high-level insiders in the Pentagon and CIA reveal that Obama, using doctored Syrian army communications, framed Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad for the August 21, 2013 chemical weapons attack.

According to Pulitzer Prize-winning author Seymour Hersh, it was actually the al-Qaeda-linked Syrian rebel group al-Nusra—funded by Obama—trained by none other than our own CIA—and not al-Assad—who was behind the attack.  Shockingly, this was known by Obama hours after the attack.  But it gets worse.

Chew on THIS reality, Mister President: Those you most detest -- those "greedy 'rich' people," -- are paying for your whorish lifestyle and programs designed to prostitute the most needy in our nation -- by keeping them  'slaves' on your government 'dependency' PLANTATION. - Dale

(CNSNews.com) - The top 40 percent of households by before-tax income actually paid 106.2 percent of the nation’s net income taxes in 2010, according to a new study by the Congressional Budget Office.

At the same time, households in the bottom 40 percent took in an average of $18,950 in what the CBO called “government transfers” in 2010.

Taxpayers in the top 40 percent of households were able to pay more than 100 percent of net federal income taxes in 2010 because Americans in the bottom 40 percent actually paid negative income taxes, according to the CBO study entitled, “The Distribution of Household Income and Federal Taxes, 2010.”{jcomments off}

Whether it is Paul Ryan, Harry Reid, or Barack Obama mouthing the words, why do I no longer trust ANY of them to be looking out for US?  This (millions, billions, trillions) financial mumbo-jumbo just sounds like more of the empty promises that have, over the years (and for partisan political gain)  gotten us into this financial budget "shell game" that  both parties have been playing at the expense of America and our remaining taxpayers! - Dale

Congressional negotiators reached a modest budget agreement Tuesday to restore about $63 billion in automatic spending cuts from programs ranging from parks to the Pentagon, with votes expected in both houses in the next several days.   Officials said the increases would be offset by a variety of spending reductions and increased fees elsewhere in the budget totaling about $85 billion over a decade, leaving enough for a largely symbolic cut of more than $20 billion in the nation's $17 trillion debt.

The deal "reduces the deficit by $23 billion and it does not raise taxes. It cuts spending in a smarter way" than the ones in effect, said Rep. Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican who chairs the House Budget Committee and was his party's negotiator in several weeks of secretive talks.

Silicon Valley is escalating pressure on President Barack Obama to curb the U.S. government surveillance programs that vacuum personal information off the Internet and threaten the technology industry's financial livelihood.  A coalition that includes Google, Apple, Yahoo, Facebook and Microsoft lashed out in an open letter printed Monday in major newspapers and a new website, reformgovernmentsurveillance.com. The crusade united eight companies that often compete fiercely against each other, but now find themselves banding together to limit the potential damage from revelations about the National Security Agency's snooping on Web surfers.

Twitter Inc., LinkedIn Corp. and AOL Inc. joined Google Inc., Apple Inc., Yahoo Inc., Facebook Inc. and Microsoft Corp. in the push for tighter controls over electronic espionage. The group is immersed in the lives of just about everyone who uses the Internet or a computing device.

Sen. Lindsey Graham says he'll enroll in the Affordable Care Act and skip a taxpayer subsidy available to members of Congress even though his premium will skyrocket, The State newspaper reports.

In a press release Monday, the South Carolina Republican and longtime critic of President Barack Obama's signature healthcare plan, said, "I don’t think members of Congress should get a special deal.  "Obamacare is being pushed on the American people and we should live under it just like everyone else.”  Graham could have taken advantage of a taxpayer subsidy that would have footed the bill for about 75 percent of his insurance premium.

Barack Obama not only misled Americans when he said his healthcare law would not affect existing insurance plans, he guaranteed patients could retain their current doctors, too.

As with countless prior promises, this statement has now been proven false for a number of reasons. Primarily, at least in the leftist bastion of California, many residents will not be able to keep their physicians because such professionals are racing to distance themselves from the unpopular law.  California Medical Association President Dr. Richard Thorp said it isn’t surprising “that there’s a high rate of nonparticipation,” noting that ObamaCare would force doctors to take steep cuts in income.  “We need some recognition that we’re doing a service to the community,” he conceded. “But we can’t do it for free; and, we can’t do it at a loss.”

After spending years honing their craft in medical school and as a resident, doctors rely on the opportunity to earn a stable salary. In addition to repaying student loans and protecting themselves against malpractice claims, doctors quite frankly deserve compensation for their dedication and expertise.

The days of finding out what’s in Obamacare, you know Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., promised that would happen after it became law, have arrived, and Americans are discovering their plans, their doctors and their hospitals soon may be off-limits..... And their medicines.

Shocking statistics surfacing about record busting, low water levels in America’s Great Lakes make no mention of the sale of fresh water supplies by private companies to China, or of President Obama’s executive order and the legal loophole allowing these sales.  “Two of the Great Lakes have hit their lowest water levels EVER RECORDED,” the US Army Corps of Engineers reported early this year. Corps measurements taken in January of 2013 “show Lake Huron and Lake Michigan have reached their lowest ebb since record keeping began in 1918.”  The chief watershed hydrology expert warns Americans that “We’re in an extreme situation.”  Keith Kompoltowicz heads up the corps district office in Detroit as hand wringing, citizen angst, and shippers’ economic losses pile up.

“Plunging water levels are beyond anyone’s control,” says another expert, James Weakley. But in one of our most popular posts, last year we warned, “Lake Michigan water is being shipped by boat loads over to China!  By using a little known loophole in the 2006 Great Lakes Compact, Obama minions are allowing Nestle Company to export precious fresh water out of Lake Michigan to the tune of an estimated $500,000 to $1.8 million per day profit.” Recent heavy rains and snowfall may mitigate low Lake Michigan water levels somewhat, but this trend must be stopped NOW.
