Poll: 53% of Americans Think Obama Is Not Honest
It’s a majority for the first time:
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.
But it makes you wonder: who are these people who think he is honest?
I’ll tell you who: the 47%: “There are 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what … who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims.”
I guess they also think Barack Obama is honest.
Message to Amerikkka and all that is Good and Just:

gary gulrud (dd7d4e) — 11/26/2013 @ 7:22 amOf the 47%, well over half of them lied when they said they thought Obama was honest. Just tkaing a cue from leadership.
Jim (c3fc83) — 11/26/2013 @ 7:24 amLet’s don’t put all the blame on Obama. Wouldn’t it be good if there was a profession or trade of people that asked questions of people in power?
AZ Bob (ade845) — 11/26/2013 @ 7:24 amThe good news buried in the thoroughly bad is that by 2016 many among the 47% will know in their bones..

And not just this nation, but so many nations throughout the world in general. That’s why I’m both cynical and skeptical when contemplating where the US is headed.
Again, when I observe what’s going to our south, to our neighbor across the border, I shudder because I suspect that what’s true there will increasingly be true here (if it’s not already true in various ways).
Mark (58ea35) — 11/26/2013 @ 7:56 amTo believe that Obama is honest, one must be very good at lying to oneself successfully.
This explains the phenomenon, I believe.

Idiot caltard Barbara Neff is celebrating the fact that president food stamp jacked up her insurance premiums by $288 per year.
no, silly caltard, that is not how much you should be paying for a mammogram in Los Angeles

Thanks National Soros Radio and idiot caltard Barbara Neff for broadcasting to all the other idiot caltards that $450 is a reasonable price to pay for a mammogram. This type of market-distorting misinformation will help ALL of us get the preventive care we need for our boobies.

Like with the ACA, when they find out that he’s not lying for THEIR benefit, they’ll change their tune.
What’s happening now to the middle class (that voted for Obama) is that they’re getting what they voted for. They just didn’t think THAT’S what they voted for. Now they know.
When the Blacks and others begin to understand that they too will be getting the shaft by Obama, for whatever reason, they too will start to show their anger. It will take longer with the blacks as they are notorious for not seeing and acting in their own best self interest and they are blind to just about anything except skin color.
When/if Amnesty passes and Hispanics get jumped to the head of line and start taking what few jobs blacks now have, then, THEN we’ll hear the screams and wails.
Me, being part of the white privileged patriarchy, say; “more fool you for putting your faith in a lying con man because his skin color was the same as yours”.
jakee308 (e940d5) — 11/26/2013 @ 9:52 amThe media bathed in chin stroking, navel gazing self analysis after WMD stockpiles weren’t found in Iraq. Despite the fact that every Western intelligence agency thought the same thing as Bush. They did the same in the midst of the shutdown, questioning why they couldn’t just say it was all the Republicans fault, no matter that it was the other party that refused to negotiate.
But on Obamacare NOBODY in the MSM is going back to their 2009 and 2010 writings and apologizing to the people they deceived at the time by taking Democratic talking points THAT MADE NO SENSE and repeating them as facts. I take great joy in knowing that they also screwed themselves, as they will pay far more for their own healthcare. Fools, they were too stupid to realize that they were the ultimate rubes as they didn’t realize they were part of the very group they targeted – the general public. While I’m sad for what’s happened, I am thankful that I can still laugh at the media’s clown show Can you just see the face that Brokaw made when he opened up his health insurance cancellation notice? Or Chrissie Matthews? Imagine how much denial you must bath in to do what they have had to do in the aftermath? They are brave soldiers. Brave idiot soldiers but soldiers none the less. Carry on, Gungha Din.

For the same reason that Mitt Romney said that he had 47% locked in; Mr Romney’s problem was that, since 47% weren’t available in the slightest, he had to win 96% or the available 53% of the voters . . . and he won only 88% of them.
Edwin Edwards once said that the only way he could lose a particular election was if he was caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl; Barack Hussein Obama would still have the support of the 47%ers even if he was caught in bed with a live boy — and there’s a not-so-small segment who would praise him for that — or a dead girl, while smoking crack.

Some may be, that’s inevitable, but I think many Americans are busy leading their lives and don’t have the time to investigate beyond the headlines. If most Americans are stupid, the polls wouldn’t change because Americans wouldn’t be changing their opinions — but they are. So does that mean they were stupid but now they’re suddenly smart?

Re: people, particularly less-intelligent people, changing their opinions.
What actually happens is community thought-leaders change their minds and as a critical mass is reached, opinions can change quickly. Most people don’t reach their opinions on most issues through reason and evidence.
Former Conservative (6e026c) — 11/26/2013 @ 1:27 pmAs for Americans being stupid, that’s an ill-defined term and probably not a good way to look at it.
50% of people are above average intelligence, and 50% are below average intelligence. There’s no way of getting away from that.
Former Conservative (6e026c) — 11/26/2013 @ 1:33 pmI still say if a person believes Obama is honest, they’re probably stupid.

He just couldn’t quite say his ideological leaning doesn’t lend itself to real journalism. What does he care? It’s not like he’ll be held to any journalistic standard, if such a thing exists anymore with regard to objectivity.

Huitzilincuatec (f7d5ba) — 11/26/2013 @ 2:38 pmIn late 2006, Mark Halperin appeared on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show, and literally went bonkers when Hewitt suggested that Halperin is “very liberal.”
Halperin told Hewitt that there’s no evidence to back up an assertion that he’s “very liberal”, yet at the same time refused to answer any of Hugh’s questions about his positions.
Anyhow, Halperin came back the next day for round two, and here’s the transcript;
Elephant Stone (6a6f37) — 11/26/2013 @ 2:55 pmhttp://www.hughhewitt.com/mark-halperin-the-encore/

Comanche Voter (caea51) — 11/26/2013 @ 4:47 pmNot really. There are a lot of very bright people in Iran, unfortunately repressed by Khomeini’s insane reinterpretation of Shia Islam.

So when the left tries to pretend to make an excuse of respecting the Presidency, I just have to assume they do not remember what they started. And I no longer care.
The left got what it wanted and now it has to live with it.

I think it’s incorrect in general terms to say that people are smart or stupid based upon their ideological biases. The problem with many Americans is they deem a do-gooder — whether he (or she) truly does good for mankind — as deserving a lot of forgiveness and benefit of the doubt. So even if such a person is a big, lying, incompetent weasel, as long as he’s perceived as being compassionate and touchy-feely — again, whether that truly does or doesn’t apply to the person in question — he’ll get kisses and pats on the back from various Americans.
However, I guess it can also be said that liberalism can make a person so willfully blind — so purposefully foolish — that he or she, in effect, becomes stupid.
