Midknight Review -- new and revised: Politico makes a mountain out of a mole hill while Obama's thin skin gets thinner.

Midknight Review's editorial notes: here we go again ---- the thin skinned Obama and company not being able to handle the fact that they cannot control everyone in their little world of governmental take-over.

In the accompanying article, the libs go after Rasmussen Reports for presenting consistently low numbers on Mr. Obama. They want you to forget that Gallup has the Novice in our White House below or at 50%. Ditto for the CNN/Gallup pole; then there is Quinnipiac University Polling which scored the Novice at 44% no and 46% yes on Dec 9. While they are criticizing Rasmussen, they are also publicly ridiculing Gallup (link ) and hoping you will not remember a Politico story in June noting the Freshman Senator's falling numbers. No one screamed 'bias" with the reporting of that story.

Politico reports "that Democrats are turning their fire on Scott Rasmussen, the prolific independent pollster whose surveys on elections, President Obama’s popularity and a host of other issues are surfacing in the media with increasing frequency. The pointed attacks reflect a hardening conventional wisdom among prominent liberal bloggers and many Democrats that Rasmussen Reports polls are, at best, the result of a flawed polling model and, at worst, designed to undermine Democratic politicians and the party’s national agenda." What is wrong with this picture is the fact that Rasmussen Reports has been one of the most accurate polling entities for predicting election outcomes over the last decade - finishing in the top 3 on a regular basis. Last November, Rasmussen was the second most accurate pollster and second by only a fraction of a percentage point.

This is a non-story. For years, Rasmussen ran numbers showing the bi-weekly Generic Ballot in the favor of the Marxists/Libs and showing that to be the case for several consecutive years without a break for the GOP. Even now, Rasmussen polls show less confidence in the GOP than for the Dems -- both are at record lows, however. So, were the libs crying foul about these numbers? Of course not.

There is simply no truth to this story at all and Politico should apologize for its boorish effort at journalistic objectivity. All conservative bloggers know that Politico is a good but left-leaning news service, along with Memeorandum and the far far left Huffington Post.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
