Lowest ever: Obama job approval sinks to 39%, as even Democrats' support melts away
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/…President Obama has passed the Big 4-0 -- going the wrong way.
Turns out voters were not simply satisfied to spank the Democrat and his party in the Nov. 2 midterm elections with historic losses in the House of Representatives.
Obama's job approval rating as calculated by the Zogby Poll has now sunk to 39%, a new low for his 22-month presidency that began with so much hope and excitement and poll numbers up around 70. As recently as Sept. 20, his job approval was 49%.
A whopping 60% now disapprove of his job, up from 51% disapproval Sept. 20.
Obama now trails in hypothetical 2012 matchups against Republicans Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and the next Bush, Jeb.
And, oh, my! Lookee here! Obama has even fallen into a statistical tie with none other than Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor.

Taliban Leader in Secret Talks Was an Impostor
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/2…“It’s not him,” said a Western diplomat in Kabul intimately involved in the discussions. “And we gave him a lot of money.”
American officials confirmed Monday that they had given up hope that the Afghan was Mr. Mansour, or even a member of the Taliban leadership.

What a fucking joke!
The alarm bells are ringing in Berlin. The German government could end up paying 17 billion euros or more of the expected 90-billion-euro Irish rescue package.

Ireland bailout reignites fears about the future of the euro
Some Irish voters would prefer a lynch to a loan
Germany has seen a number of its own currencies come and go: the deutschmark, the reichsmark and, before that, the mark. Now some analysts are grumbling that the euro may be on its way out too.

They are not even in Germany's league, get out if you can DE.

Interviewer: How would you handle a situation like the one that just developed in North Korea?
Palin: Well, North Korea, this is stemming from a greater problem, when we're all sitting around asking, 'Oh no, what are we going to do,' and we're not having a lot of faith that the White House is going to come out with a strong enough policy to sanction what it is that North Korea is going to do. So this speaks to a bigger picture that certainly scares me in terms of our national security policy. But obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies – we're bound to by treaty....
Interviewer: South Korean.
Palin: Yes, and we're also bound by prudence to stand with our South Korean allies, yes.

The Rot in the Republican Party
"Jurors deliberated for 19 hours before returning guilty verdicts against DeLay on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering. He faces up to life in prison on the money laundering charge. Prosecutors said DeLay, who once held the No. 2 job in the US House of Representatives and whose heavy-handed style earned him the nickname "the Hammer," used his political action committee to illegally channel $190,000 in corporate donations into 2002 Texas legislative races through a money swap."
And down goes the Bug Man.

^ And they just made a movie about Delay and his buddy Jack Abramoff.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1194…
Not officially out yet but there's a screener floating around on the web.
- Pretty entertaining movie. Kinda reminded me of American Psycho with less gore.ukit

"DeLay stepped aside as majority leader after his 2005 indictment on money laundering and conspiracy charges and resigned from Congress the following year. DeLay was under investigation for his ties to lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who pleaded guilty in 2006 to charges of fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy to bribe public officials. Two former DeLay aides who joined Abramoff's lobbying team after leaving Capitol Hill also pleaded guilty during the wide-ranging influence peddling investigation.
The Justice Department has declined to comment on the status of the Abramoff investigation, which also resulted in prison time for Ohio Republican Rep. Bob Ney and for Steven Griles, the No. 2 official in the Interior Department for much of the administration of President George W. Bush."
I missed all the Tea Bagger rage at the corruption in government back then. Can someone send me the links to current Tea Baggers and any blogs, forum posts, etc. they might have made about their anger at this malfeasance of government from that time? I mean they get in a tizzy about two black guys in berets corrupting the sanctity of government process, so they had to be absolutely out of their minds with this high level of corruption, right? Right?
