Tools & Spares for Roadside RepairsWritten by on August 1, 2000 Stuff You Really Need to Have With You if You're Going to be On the Road
We've all been there. We're tooling down the road in our vintage car, fat, dumb, and happy, when all of a sudden whatever thoughts or daydreams we were lost in are replaced with an unnerving sound. Whether it's the engine chugging as the car slows, a loud rhythmic rattle coming from the engine, or the engine is suddenly not making any noise at all, one thing's certain-you're not going anywhere unless it's on foot.
Roadside repairs are a fact of life for those of us in the collector car hobby. Whether your car has recently undergone a ground-up restoration or you just bought it from the original owner, the chances of it leaving you on the side of the road with the hood up aren't that remote. It's just the nature of the beasts. However, with a little advanced planning, it's really not much more than an annoyance. The fact is, most of the common failures that are going to put you on the shoulder can usually be repaired in an hour or so, provided you have the right tools and replacement parts. So, then the question becomes fix it now, or fix it at home? We prefer to work on our cars at home, in the comfort of our own garage with our roll-away tool box and all the other conveniences close at hand, but is that worth the tow bill to get it there? Not to mention blowing what had been a perfectly enjoyable cruise up until this point.
There are mechanical failures you won't be able to repair road-side, such as a blown motor, trans, or rearend. Otherwise, roadside failures are generally going to fall into a limited number of categories: fuel delivery, electrical, and cooling. Once you break down those categories, it's even less intimidating.
Electrical system components that will leave you on the side of the road are relatively few: alternator (or generator, for you pre-'61 guys), voltage regulator, ballast resistor, ECU for electronic ignitions, and the coil. If any one of these goes south, you're not going anywhere. However, each of these can be replaced in less than an hour. Other component failures could be the points, fouled plugs, or burned through and arcing plug wires, all also easily replaced. Fuses are obvious. The starter could also go bad, but these generally give you some warning before checking out. If you have a stick shift, push-starting will get you out of the parking lot and back toward home.
Fuel Delivery
There's really only three things here that could go bad: fuel pump, fuel filter, and trash in the carb. This is why we like the non-resto-correct glass inline fuel filters-it takes the guess work out of plugged fuel filters, and it's easily cleaned and reinstalled. It will also help diagnose whether the fuel pump is bad or if the problem lies at the carb. Again, if you've got the parts and the hand tools to service them, any of these will take you less than an hour.
This one's also fairly straight forward, and it's one of three culprits: either the radiator is bad, a hose blew, or the water pump died. if it's the radiator, call the auto club. Radiator leak stoppers will work, but we don't feel comfortable dropping that stuff in there: If it'll plug a hole in the radiator, then it'll also probably gum up other areas, too. We'd rather fix this one the right way by taking the radiator out and going to a shop.
A radiator hose is an easy fix, with the only obstacle being filling the radiator back up. A few bucks worth of bottled water at the gas station up the road will take care of that, if you don't have any in the trunk (we don't).
The final item here is the water pump. Mopars have it easy compared to the other brands-all we've got to do is change the impeller, with the housing still on the motor. It's easy, requires one gasket, and carrying a spare doesn't take up much room. Again, even with removing all the stuff from the front of the motor to gain access, it's not much more than an hour's worth of work. A blown heater core or dead thermostat could also come into play, but both are easily removed or bypassed.
Anything Else?
It's not exactly rare for a Mopar to have a push rod punch its way through the cup of a rocker arm. If this happens, you're not going to be driving far. However, Mopar enthusiasts are lucky here, as well. A couple of spare rocker arms and a valve cover gasket will get you back on your way. While we were putting this story together, we realized that we don't have any duct tape in our kit, which is particularly amazing. We know several people who believe that if it can't be fixed with duct tape, then it can't be fixed! A spare fan belt is a no-brainer.
How about if your brakes go out or lock up? Call the auto club, because generally any quick fix for the brakes isn't going to be safe. Which brings us to the most important item to have: an auto club membership. Because, even though most repairs will be quick and simple, there are going to be some that you just can't handle with a couple of tools and a flashlight.
Tools for the Road
The right tool for the job always makes things easier. Having a well thought out tool kit in your trunk is going to make any roadside repair a lot less traumatic. We've put together an assortment of basic tools that will get us back home, and we've had opportunities to use this kit more times than we care to admit.
While the kit is very complete, we have a lot less money invested than you would think-under $250. Now, that may at first sound like a lot for tools we may or may not use, but consider what we've got, and that sum isn't too much. Plus, it's cheap insurance.
Our kit consists of a 3-drawer box containing a full set of screwdrivers, a full set of pliers, two of every size wrench from 1/4-inch to ¾-inch, a multi-meter, utility knife, hammer, chisel, punch, small pry bar, mini hack saw, a single set of metric wrenches, a couple of adjustable wrenches, a mini Mag Light, and a bendable mini-light and socket light from Steelman. This may be overkill, but we'd rather have too many tools than not have the one we need. This set was put together over a couple of years, and cost about $150, including the 3-drawer box, by shopping Sears sales and swap meets. The screwdrivers, for instance, are Craftsman's cheapest, with the bright orange handles, that are often sold in the bargain boxes. We paid $.99 for each of the smaller ones, and $1.99 each for the bigger ones. We like brightly colored tools, as they're easier to see in the dark, and they won't get left behind when we're done.
We also have a full set of Craftsman sockets, standard and metric, in 1/4-, 3/8- and 1/2-inch drives. Their 100-pc Mechanics set is listed in the catalog for $79.99. The multi-meter is also a Craftsman unit, and besides being one of the least expensive meters in their line (about $39), it has a hard plastic case, making it ideal for a road box.
Other items include a portable floor jack we bought for $19.99, a fender cover, work jacket (to save our clothes and lay on the ground), WD40, clean rag, gloves, and a small container of orange hand soap with pumice. The soap even comes with a scrub brush! It's the only thing we've found that will get the smell of gas off our hands. Bug spray would be a good addition, too. Not shown but since added is duct tape and electrical tape. Finally, always have a fire extinguisher on hand.
The other nice thing about this kit is that with the possible exception of a good set of cable cutters, it's about the perfect junkyarding box. And you never know when that will come in handy!

Aside from fuses, this is pretty much the entire electrical system of your Mopar. Most of these parts are take-offs from other projects that worked, but were replaced for one reason or another. They don't take up much room. The most overkill spare component is the distributor. Though we've never had one outright fail, components inside them can (points, wire to the electronic pick-up breaks, etc.). Sometimes just replacing the entire unit is quicker than trying to rebuild the top of it while it's in the car.Water pump and rocker arm failures aren't uncommon. Throw spares in the trunk, and the necessary gaskets, and an otherwise day-ending failure could be turned into an hour-long pause in the action!To make any distributor work a lot easier, our spare cap has the firing order/cylinder numbers painted on with a paint pen (magic marker will rub off), and all the plug wires on the engine have these wire numbers from MSD installed. This cuts your replacement time way down.A spare fuel pump (that we know to be good), and spare cartridges for the filter are our back-ups for the fuel system. Not shown is a carb rebuild kit with fresh gaskets, in case trash gets in the needles and seats. Though the filter isn't resto-correct, it's hard to beat for diagnosing where any fuel system problems might lie.We started our trunk tool kit with this new Craftsman 3-drawer tool box. An orderly tool box is going to make any roadside repair go smoother, so we chose one with drawers to keep the tools separated. We settled on this particular model because of the plastic storage bins on the top, which we use for electrical supplies (fuses not shown). Prior to this box, we had a separate box for electrical parts that rode loose in the trunk and popped open several times. We also have a length of wire and spare fuel filter cartridges. We've used the electrical components more than we'd have thought.We have two of each size wrench (one for the bolt, one for the nut on the back) from 1/4-inch through 3/4-inch. The wrench organizer makes sure we don't lose any, and the box wrenches for duplicate sizes keeps the number of tools (weight) to a minimum.The top of our tool box has a wire storage separator we got at the dollar store and trimmed to fit. The wire brushes also came from the dollar store and are handy for cleaning electrical contacts and spark plug tips. Mag Lights have a spare bulb in the tail, which is handy when you drop the flashlight, breaking the bulb. It's much easier to find a red flashlight on the ground after dropping it than it is to find a black flashlight. We also have a multi-meter, flexible mini-light from Steelman, a telescoping retreival magnet, a chisel, an alignment tool, and a spark plug gap tool and multi-tip screwdriver. We added the drawer divider ourselves to keep the pliers and screwdrivers separated. All of the pliers came from swap meets and garage sales, while the 14 screwdrivers are from Craftsman's bargain bin and cost about 12 bucks for all of them. Line each drawer in the toolbox to keep noise down while it rides in the trunk.

We had a Blast in Iron Fist
What to do on a Saturday sunny afternoon? I had some Iron Fist clothes and a junkyard at my disposal, so I wisely decided to gather a bunch of friends and go take some pictures! Do you recognize some of the clothes in the pictures? Yes, right! Some of them were featured in this giveaway!
We are wearing: Them Bones Pencil Skirt – Peeper Creeper Blouse – Give yourself to the night Muscle Tank – Monster in My Pocket Sneakers – Faded Kitty Sweater – Grave Dancer Fugly Boots . Check the rest of the collection at Iron Fist Ladies !
Photos by Marta Ulisse – Styling by Burcin Yetim – Special guests: Annalisa (blonde model) and Andrea V (who happened to be our production designer and photographer assistant for a day) from Scenario Studios
Did you guess right about the third prize of the Iron Fist giveaway? I'll give you an hint: I'm wearing it in these pictures, and the girl is doing something I quit almost an year ago… Got it? 😀 Thanks to Iron Fist for all these amazing clothes they provided, and I'd like to invite you to read the new styleBizarre's page about Sustainable Fashion: Iron Fist is a big star in it!
I'd also like to introduce you to my new friends, The Green Clip Extensions! I absolutely love them and I spent a fair amount of time buying+dyeing them. I bought them in a light blonde and then I dyed them in Stargazer Tropical Green. Rinsed them, blowdried them and then dyed them again in Royal Blue. The result? This nice petrol green! I love it! I used the Stargazer Semi-Permanent Conditioning Hair Dye I've got from Body Jewellery Shop. It's the first time I've ever used a Stargazer hairdye buy as far as I can see it's good enough to be tried in other colors! I'll never know how long it lasts tho because I only colored the extensions so I won't wash it as often as I would with my real hair!
What is your favorite item? Would you wear these clothes to the supermarket? And what about the lovely green hair? (which I call my little seaweed XD)

Get Used to It: 28% of Americans Support the Tea Party
Tired of hearing about the hate-mongering Tea Partiers? Well, you're about to get more tired of it. An astounding Gallup poll released today shows that a whopping 28 percent of Americans support the Tea Party movement. Yep, that's right. More than 1 in 4 Americans thinks the Party of Sarah Palin is the way to go. It gets worse, though. Americans who consider themselves opponents of the Tea Party are less than those who support it, coming in at 26 percent. Of course, 38 percent said they neither opposed nor supported the Tea Party, but I can't say that political apathy makes me feel much better. And besides, even more people -- 37 percent -- said they view the Tea Party favorably. Most of the demographic breakdowns of Tea Party supporters were unsurprising. For example, Tea Partiers mostly identify as Republicans (49 percent), and they skew slightly male (55 percent). But here's the part I find most sad: Tea Partiers are really mainstream. In other words, their educational attainment, employment status, and racial background are pretty representative of the American population at large. And if they are representative of the American population at large, well, it tells a sad story about the American public. There are, however, two things that may indicate that the Tea Party isn't the ferocious force this poll suggests. One is that a conservative outfit released a poll last week which showed Tea Party support at only 17 percent, which deviates greatly from Gallup's 28 percent. The other one is to compare a similar poll about Americans' views on socialism. If you look at a Gallup poll from February, it shows that 36 percent of Americans viewed socialism favorably -- which is pretty close to the 37 percent who say they view the Tea Party favorably. As the folks at Think Progress put it: "You can find roughly 4 in 10 Americans who will give a positive rating to just about anything in politics that they know little about." I don't presume to compare apples to oranges here -- socialism is an actual ideology, while the Tea Party movement is a hodge-podge of hateful talking points -- but you get the bigger picture: most people don't really know or care about politics. Yet herein lies the problem. The Tea Party is what you get when a bunch of people who don't understand or care about politics decide to get into politics.

Melville a Poet on Conflict, Too; but Such Sea Stories as 'Moby Dick' His Greatest Achievements
Byline: Peter Cliffe, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Herman Melville played no part in the war, either as a civilian or a soldier, but shortly after it ended, he wrote a book of poems devoted entirely to Civil War incidents or personalities. They were the work of a highly individual man whose life had followed an erratic course.
Born in New York City on Aug. 1, 1819, of Dutch and Scottish descent, he was the third of eight children. His mother was the former Maria Gansevoort; his father, Allan, a fur and felt importer who went bankrupt in 1830 and died two years later. The family then relocated to Albany, where Herman attended the Classic School.
Melville became incurably restless. Having been a bank clerk and a schoolteacher, he then signed on as cabin boy, sailing in 1839 aboard a vessel bound for Liverpool, England. The sea was to influence both his life and his artistic creativity.
Despite poor eyesight, he became a writer. His voyage to Liverpool inspired his novel "Redburn" (1849), which did well. His books seem either to have been highly successful or total failures.
In January 1841, he left Fairhaven, Mass., on the Acushnet, a whaler going to the South Seas, but he jumped ship in the Marquesas Islands, where he spent some weeks with friendly cannibals. One hopes he confined himself to a vegetarian diet.
He was rescued by another whaler, the Lucy Ann out of Australia, but the ungrateful Melville took part in a mutiny and was dumped in Tahiti along with other troublemakers. His exploits and misdeeds inspired his novels "Typee" (1846) and "Omoo" (1847). In 1844, having worked his passage as a seaman aboard the ship United States, he finally came home.
Already earning good money from his books, he became a full-time writer and in 1847 married Elizabeth Shaw. After living initially in New York, they purchased Arrowhead Farm outside Pittsfield, Mass. Nathaniel Hawthorne was a near neighbor. The two men became good friends, and Hawthorne encouraged Melville to write "Moby Dick." This strange but compelling novel appeared in 1851, at first meeting an unenthusiastic reception.
After a trip to Europe in 1856, Melville wrote "The Confidence Man" (1857), the last novel to be published in his lifetime. He toured as a lecturer before spending 35 years working for the New York Customs House. He had not entirely abandoned writing, however. "Clarel" (1876), "John Marr" (1888) and "Timoleon" (1891) were books of verse, but who turns to them now?
"Piazza Tales" (1856) was a collection of well-written short stories, and "Billy Budd" has been described as "a brilliant novelette." Completed in April 1891, it was not published until 1924, when it was recognized as a superb tragedy of the sea. In 1950, the famous English composer Benjamin Britten transformed it into an acclaimed opera. …

ROCK ISLAND, Ill. (KWQC) – Survey results are in that may provide a new vision for the Quad Cities. In February and March this year, people across the region answered questions about life in the area. And one city is already making strides towards a better Q-C.
Downtown revitalization was one topic a Quad Cities Chamber survey showed needs to be a focus to attract young professionals to the area. Rock Island residents said they believe their city is on the right track.
Morgan Milmer and his family moved to Rock Island just a couple of years ago. They said it's a great place to live.
"Really liked the look and feel of downtown, found a great place we liked so decided to stay," Milmer said.
But he said there could be a little more hustle and bustle in the area.
"You've got great restaurants and then the festivities, but sometimes just for lunch and right after work you'll be walking around and it doesn't have a kind of hopping feel," Milmer said.
Rita Coine who grew up in Rock Island agrees.
"Used to be a lot of shopping, a lot of retail and there isn't now, so that's a big difference," Coine said.
The survey facilitated by the Quad Cities Chamber reflects that. The top three things young professionals are looking for: more shopping and restaurants, a variety of housing options and downtown revival. Rock Island residents said they're seeing all of these things.
"Well there's a lot activity now in the downtown areas," Coine said. "I think they're all trying to get more restaurants and eating establishments."
"They're doing very well with getting new housing down here," Rock Island resident Charles Knudsen said. "It's really nice housing. I have to say they're doing really good about getting new businesses down here. We've had just about 25 new business just within the last year move in."
"You have art, you have culture, you've got a minor league sports, so there really is quite a bit going on and yeah I think any activity to improve the downtown areas would only be icing on the cake," Milmer said.
Co-chair of the Quad Cities Chamber's Regional Vision Committee, Joe Slavens, said the next step is for the entire region to build a stronger whole from their individual strengths.
"Rock Island's not any different than any the communities is viewing themselves as a part of a greater whole," Slavens said. "And that that really provides us strength to build from as opposed to being each individual city we are sort of like burrows within one larger region."
The Chamber said they will use information from the survey to drive their plans for the future, while continuing to look for community input.

Holland America, one of the last holdouts in levying service surcharges for dining in alternative restaurants, has launched a test program: passengers who dine at Zaandam's Marco Polo, will, through August, pay $10 apiece. The cruise line will evaluate the program at month's end and decide whether to spread it to other ships in the fleet with alternative eateries (such as Amsterdam and Rotterdam)...or not. So far, a spokesman says that Zaandam passengers have not robustly objected to paying the new service charge.
Beyond Holland America, Renaissance is the only big-ship (or, rather, medium-to-big-ship) line that doesn't charge a fee for eating in its boutique restaurants. Otherwise, a'la carte service fees range from Crystal's low of $6 to Celebrity's $25 high.

Well, those of you that are anti-car may not want to hear this (and this may be moved), but:
I totalled my truck last Thursday night on my way to work. For a long time now, work is really the only place I've been driving, and I've toyed with the idea that MAYBE when my truck konks out on me I'd just ride my bike. However, my truck being pretty new and in good condition still, I thought that this'd be years in the future. Now I'm faced with it, though. At the very least, I'll be commuting by bike for the next few days/weeks...
Anyone else have a similar story? (I'm sure)
I don't know why I'm posting this, just talkin' I guess. Figures I also got bumped on my bike by a motorist last week, also.
I live about 12 miles from work, 3rd shift. I'm glad it'll be only in the low 20's I guess.
Honestly, I'm kinda nervous about this riding to work and home in the middle of the night through some questionable neighborhoods...I wonder if going stealth and doing backroads would be better?
Thanks guys, and be careful out there. Not to sound like your mom or anything.

PLF chief Abbas to be buried in Syria
The late Palestinian Liberation Front chief Abu Abbas is due to buried in Syria after Israel said it would not permit him to be laid to rest in the West Bank, a leader of the faction said.
"After Israel refused that the martyr Abu Abbas be buried in Ramallah we have been in touch with several Arab countries," Wasel Abu Yussef, leader of the PLF in the West Bank, tolf AFP Monday.
"Syria agreed ten minutes ago that his body be transferred to Damascus and buried in the martyrs' cemetery at Yarmuk.
"According to the Red Cross the transfer is expected within hours," he further said.
Abbas, whose real name was Mohammed Abbas, died last Monday in a US military prison in Iraq.
An autopsy carried out by a US Navy pathologist confirmed he died of a "heart attack", but his widow and the PLO have called for an independent investigation into his death. (Albawaba.com)

Emotional Competence in Children With Externalizing and Internalizing Disorders
Rita J. Caseye Wayne State University
Children who manifest psychopathology are commonly spoken of as having "emotional problems" or as being "emotionally disturbed." Theoretical work linking psychopathology to emotion processes as well as clinical observation of expressive behavior also suggest that emotion has an important role in childhood psychopathology. For example, anger, resentment, sadness, and fear can be diagnostic markers of different psychiatric disorders ( American Psychiatric Association, 1994). Nevertheless, little clinical research has explicitly focused on emotional characteristics of children with psychiatric disorders, or on how emotional aspects of development are involved in childhood psychopathology. Perhaps this is because some clinicians believe that the emotions expressed by children who have psychiatric disorders are not central to their difficulties, or that there are no discernible patterns in emotion processes that would provide insight into the children's psychopathology. Others suggest that the role of emotion goes well beyond being an expressive sign of difficulty (e.g., Cicchetti & Schneider-Rosen, 1984; Cole, Michel, & Teti, 1994; Gray, 1987). Rather, they see emotion processes as fundamental aspects of certain kinds of psychopathology.
Outside the arena of clinical research, particularly in the study of human and infrahuman development, there has arisen a rich literature examining individual differences as well as normal characteristics of emotional development. This body of work may have clear implications for clinical research, even though developmental researchers do not typically focus on clinical populations. To cite just one example, Eisenberg's empirical and theoretical

Residents of Meridian and Lauderdale County get to make their voices heard Monday night on an issue that has stirred some strong emotions, the proposed closing of a local road.
A public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. at South Volunteer Fire Department on closing the portion of Valley Road that runs in front of Atlas Roofing.
Local economic development officials want to close it, because they say it will be safer for Atlas employees, and give the company room to expand.
Many residents in the area have opposed the idea.

CNN Poll Redux: If Rematch of 2012 Presidental Election Were Held Today … Mitt Romney Beats Barack Obama 53% to 44%
According to a recent CNN poll, if a 2012 presidential election rematch was held today, Mitt Romney would defeat Barack Obama 53% to 44%. It would appear the the American voters are having buyer's remorse and if they had the opportunity to redo the 2012 presidential election, they would vote much differently. In 2012 Obama won the popular vote, 51% to 47%; however, after American voters learned of Obama's lies with regards to Obamacare, the IRS-targeting scandals of conservative non-profit groups, a continued poor economic recovery, one Obama foreign policy disaster after another and an electorate that has grown weary of this scandal ridden, apathetic, golf playing and fund-raising President … Obama now loses to Romney, 44% to 54%.
Suppose that for some reason a presidential election were being held today and you had to choose between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Who would you be more likely to vote for?
If a rematch of the 2012 presidential election were held today, GOP nominee Mitt Romney would top President Barack Obama in the popular vote, according to a new national survey.
But a CNN/ORC International poll also indicates that if Romney changes his mind and runs again for the White House, Hillary Clinton would best him by double digits in a hypothetical showdown.
According to the poll, if the 2012 election were somehow held again, Romney would capture 53% of the popular vote, with the President at 44%. Obama beat Romney 51%-47% in the popular vote in the 2012 contest. And he won the all-important Electoral College by a wider margin, 332 electoral votes to Romney's 206.
Last November, an ABC News/Washington Post survey indicated that if the 2012 election were held again, Romney would have had a 49%-45% edge over Obama in the popular vote.
Nice try by CNN to add that Hillary Clinton beats Romney 55% to 42% and make the comparison that it is some how the same as the Obama-Romney redo. Leave it to the liberal media to compare apples to oranges. The Clinton/Romney poll is simply a popularity contest of a hypothetical election that will never take place. However, the Romney/Obama poll numbers are from a knowing public that has seen the Obama promises, political lies and scandals for themselves. There is nothing hypothetical about the facts that Barack Obama is a failed president, who is considered the worst president since WWII and many, if they had the chance would change their vote and never have reelected him.
CNN Poll: Barack Obama Now as Unpopular as Former President George W. Bush
Guess what, Barack Obama was not "The One" that we had been waiting for …
In a recent CNN poll, Barack Obama is now as unpopular as former president George W. Bush. Both Obama and Bush now have a 51% unfavorable rating. Obama's approval rating has dropped to 47%. However, that most likely is not the low that this president will see before he leaves office, and none too soon. With scandals abound like IRS-gate, Fast & Furious, Benghazi-gate and most recently the VA scandal and the release of 5 Taliban, GITMO detainees for an alleged deserter. Not to mention a continued poor economy, a jobless recovery, a disastrous foreign policy and last but certainly not least, Obamacare. As commented on by Hot Air, a Fox News poll out this week shows continued sharp disapproval of President Obama's signature domestic "accomplishment," with a sizable majority expressing the opinion that they wish the 2010 healthcare law had never passed.
Who is laughing now Barack?
In January 2009, as President George W. Bush was days away from leaving the White House, the unpopular President's favorable rating stood at 35% in a CNN/ORC International survey. The man who was succeeding him, Barack Obama, was fresh from his historic 2008 presidential election victory and had a 78% favorable rating among Americans.
But a new CNN/ORC International poll released Thursday indicates a milestone of sorts: Obama is now as unpopular as Bush. Fifty-one percent have an unfavorable view of Bush; 51% feel the same way about Obama. Obama's favorable rating is now at 47% – a new low for him, and virtually identical to Bush's 46% favorable rating, a significant improvement over his 2009 numbers.
Obama started out strong, but as many predicted, the public's love affair with Obama faded as reality set in. Obama dealt with the severe recession plaguing the nation and pushed for controversial proposals such as the federal stimulus and health care reform. By 2010, the President's favorable rating had dropped by double digits, although his numbers generally remained in the mid-50s throughout the 2012 presidential campaign.
EXIT QUESTION: Will Barack Obama's favorable and unfavorable ratings be worse than GWB's by the end of his presidency … Magic 8-Ball says, "Signs point to Yes".

CNN Poll: 58% Disapprove of Barack Obama's Handling of the VA Scandal, As Some How 37% Approve
According to a recent CNN poll, Barack Obama get's extremely poor scores on his handling of the Veterans Administration scandal. The poll shows that a whopping 58% disapprove of Obama's handing of the VA scandal, while only 37% approve. It is just the latest scandal during the Obama presidency as they are adding up more than the number of Americans gaining jobs. However, the VA scandal is just one of many important issues where Obama is failing Americans. Obama fails on the economy, 61% disapprove – 38% approve. Obama fails on healthcare 63% disapprove – 36% approve. Obama fails on foreign affairs 57% disapprove – 40% approve. Obama fails on the federal budget deficit 67% disapproval – 31% approval.
Nearly six in ten Americans give President Barack Obama a thumbs-down on how he is handling the Veterans Affairs controversy, according to a new national poll.
But a CNN/ORC International survey released Tuesday indicates that the scandal at VA hospitals doesn't seem to be affecting the President's overall approval rating, which remains at 43%, identical to the last CNN poll conducted a month ago. The survey also indicates that Obama scores some of his highest numbers on the environment and terrorism, two other issues in the spotlight this week.
According to the poll, 58% say they disapprove of how the President's handling the VA scandal, with 37% saying they approve of Obama's actions.
The Veterans Affairs controversy has mushroomed since CNN first reported last November on allegations of alarming shortcomings within the VA medical care system that potentially have had deadly consequences in dozens of cases.
Real Clear Politics: Poll: Majority Unhappy With Obama's Handling of VA Woes.
Obama accepted VA Secretary Eric Shinseki's resignation "with considerable regret" last week after a report by the VA inspector general found a longstanding pattern or wrongdoing by agency personnel.
Just 22 percent of those surveyed believe Shinseki should have remained in office, while 68 percent say he should have resigned.
Wait until America voices their opinion with Barack Obama on the release of alleged deserter Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl for 5 Taliban detainees in GITMO.

CNN/ORC International Poll: Sen. Rand Paul (KY-R) Rising to the Top in the GOP Field for 2016 Presidential Race
It is obviously way too early, but Sen. Rand Paul (KY-R) is trending upward and leading the pack for the 2016 Republican presidential race.
According to the most recent CNN poll, the Republican Kentucky Senator top the list of potential Republican presidential candidates for 2016 in a national poll. It is early in the game and one would think these polls are more about name recognition than what a candidate may actually stand for or be against. However, Paul's surge to the top may have more to do with his libertarian and Tea Party, anti-establishment roots, rather his popularity. One thing is for certain, Rand Paul is on a roll as he recently topped a Republican N.H. poll and overwhelmingly won the straw poll at CPAC. Could we please nominate a GOP candidate who actually believes in the US Constitution, the rule of law and making America that shining city on the hill, rather than just being concerned about their power?
Rand Paul has done something his father never did – top the list of potential Republican presidential candidates in a national poll.
According to a new CNN/ORC International survey, 16% of Republicans and independents who lean toward the GOP say they would be likely to support the senator from Kentucky for the 2016 nomination.
Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee, garnered 15%, with longtime Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who's considering another bid for the White House, at 11%.
One thing is for certain, there will be no candidate that we will agree with on 100%; however, it is so important to pick the most conservative and electable of the bunch as this country cannot afford another 4 years of this Democrat insanity as president. Something has to be done to reverse what has transpired during the past 6 years of Obama, before it is too late. Actually, it can begin by voting in non-establishment House and Senate Republicans this Fall in the 2014 midterm elections.

Charles Krauthammer Says Hillary Clinton Will Be "Relatively Weak" Presidential Candidate & Republicans Going to Have "a Really Good Shot at the White House"
Krauthammer Says Hillary Clinton Will Be "Relatively Weak" Presidential Candidate …
Yesterday, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer has some interesting things to say regarding Hillary Clinton as a Democrat nominee for 2016 and how she would fare in the general election. Much like a recent CNN poll and many others, Krauthammer believes that, should she ran and he believes she will, Hillary Clinton will have a cake walk thru the Democrat primaries. Krauthammer stated that the status that Hillary has with Democrats is semi-devine, the primaries are "not going to be a coronation, it is going to be a worship service." And we all know how that worked out with the Obamamessiah. There will be no serious challenger against her in the Democrat primaries. But where Charles differs from many is that he believes that that in the general election … Hillary will be "a relatively weak opponent. And, Republicans are going to have a really good shot at the White House."
"I think she's going to be a rather weak, if she decides to run which she likely is, a relatively weak opponent. And, Republicans are going to have a really good shot at the White House."
As it is, in a hypothetical match-up between NJ Gov. Chris Christie and Hillary Clinton, Hillary trails. It is not a draw as the Politico headline says, Christie leads 48-46. So even with all the popularity and exposure of a Hillary Clinton without even delving into the real Hillary, she is behind.
Hmm, I am not sure if I would call her a weak candidate; however, I will say that she will be weakened by many factors that did not even exist when she was stunned by Barack Obama in the 2008 Democrat primaries.
- Hillary Clinton is going to have to defend Benghazi and why she did nothing to protect Americans where individuals begged for extra security in the run up to the anniversary of 9-11.
- How is the black vote going to rally when Clinton most likely is going to have to distance herself from a toxic Obama?
- What accomplishments did she ever do as a US Senator or Secretary of State … Hillary is not Bill Clinton.
- How is she a change from the policies of Barack Obama?
- Obamacare! … Can you say Hillary Healthcare?
- Her husband campaigned and said that no one could have fixed the economy, so why should anyone think Hillary could?
- A shift in the electorate against Democrats due to Obama fatigue.
- Trying to defend the comments, "What Difference Does it Make!"
- Duck Dynasty voters
- Did we say Obama and Obama scandal fatigue?

CNN Poll: Reversal of Fortune … Republicans Lead Democrats in Generic Ballot 49% to 44%, a 13 Point Swing Since October, 2013
Houston Democrats, you have a problem … Obamacare and Barack Obama are toxic.
In a recent CNN poll, the GOP has captured the lead over Democrats in the Generic ballot by a 49% to 44% margin. This is a 13 point swing from poll results just two months ago in October where Dems had a 50% to 42% lead. My how the mighty have fallen and the Obamacare house of cards and lies have fallen. The remarkable turnaround is a direct result of the Obamacare roll-out and the American people learning that all the promises made bt President Obama and Democrats that you could keep your healthcare if you liked it, that you could keep your doctor and healthcare costs would be reduced, were all lies. Worse yet and infuriating We the People, Obama and Democrats knew it in advance. Making matters worse for Democrats if possible, only 22% polled are enthusiastic about the 2014 midterm elections. A low turnout by an exhausted and disappointed Democrat electorate is hardly good news for their chances to win back the House and possibly losing the Senate.
Democrats have lost their advantage and Republicans now have a slight edge in the battle for control of Congress, according to a new national poll.
A CNN/ORC International survey released Thursday also indicates that President Barack Obama may be dragging down Democratic congressional candidates, and that the 2014 midterm elections are shaping up to be a low-turnout event, with only three in 10 registered voters extremely or very enthusiastic about voting next year.
Two months ago, Democrats held a 50%-42% advantage among registered voters in a generic ballot, which asked respondents to choose between a Democrat or Republican in their congressional district without identifying the candidates. That result came after congressional Republicans appeared to overplay their hand in the bitter fight over the federal government shutdown and the debt ceiling.
But the Democratic lead evaporated, and a CNN poll a month ago indicated the GOP holding a 49%-47% lead. The new survey, conducted in mid-December, indicates Republicans with a 49%-44% edge over the Democrats.
According to Powerline, upon learning of the news of the devastating poll what was the first thing that Democrats did … "Within a few hours after the CNN poll came out, the Democrats' "Rapid Response" team was emailing the party's faithful, asking for money." Because it is never about Democrats taking responsibility for poor policy and a rejection of the American people. It is always about smearing the GOP, blaming the GOP and begging for money. Get ready for a nasty, smear-fest from Democrats because they have nothing left to run on.

John — The latest Republican assault on Obamacare has proven to be dangerously effective. If we don't respond to Republican smears with the facts right now, the damage to the Affordable Care Act AND our chances in 2014 could be irreversible.
If this trend remains the same heading into the 2014 midterms … it will be utter carnage for Democrats.
OBAMACARE: CNN Poll Shows Barack Obama Is Losing His Own Base, Especially Woman & Americans Hardly Think the Affordable Care Act is Affordable
Barack Obama and Democrats are in dire straights …
According to the recent CNN poll, the support for Obamacare has dropped to all time lows as only 35% now support the law and 62% oppose Barack Obama's signature piece of legislation. Obamacare has never had support with the American people as Democrats rammed it down the throats of Americans in a partisan vote, but now it is reaching epic lows as even Obama's own base is turning against the ACA.
CNN's national correspondent John King provides some analysis on the new CNN poll and none of it good for Barack Obama or Democrats. King says, "you see the ditch that the administration has dug for itself". Ditch? A 27% negative gap is not a ditch, it is a canyon and soon will be a sink hole swallowing up all the Democrat politicians who voted for it. King goes on to say, "that this was a law that divided us anyways, but then you have the rollout drive a lot of the president's supporters away." Actually, it is not just the technical failures of the web site roll out that has forced his own base to question Obamacare, it is the fact that they found out that Barack Obama lied regarding Obamacare in that you could keep your healthcare coverage and doctor if you liked them and the claim that costs would be reduced.
John King discusses the continuing trouble for the president is that he is losing his own base. King said, "he is losing part of his own base. Sixty percent of woman now oppose Obamacare, that is up 6 points in just one month." Imagine if a Republican president passed such a law where woman polled against it like this, Democrats and the liberal MSM would be touting it as a "War on Women".
And it gets even worse and pretty much comical for Obama and Obamacare and no one is laughing. When CNN asked, "the amount that you pay under the new health care law will … " 63% said they think their medical bills will increase, while only 7% said they will decrease. This prompted the CNN host to say, "when the laws name is the Affordable Care Act, you got to say that is a problem."
EXIT QUESTION: Imagine if the liberal MSM did their job and was this critical and questioned Barack Obama and Obamacare when much of what ultimately happened was being predicted by Conservatives?
CNN Poll: Obamacare Support Drops To An All-Time Low … The New War on Woman, Opposition to Obamacare Rose 6 Points Among Women to 60% from 54% in November
Welcome to the new 'War on Woman' … No wonder Barack Obama couldn't get away to Hawaii fast enough.
According to the most recent CNN poll, support for Obamacare has reached an all-time low as only 62% oppose Barack Obama's signature piece of legislation, while just 35% are in favor of it. OUCH!!! The numbers are getting so bad for Obamacare that this is no longer just a problem for Obama and Democrats, but instead a toxic disaster. Making matters even worse for Obama and Democrats, if possible, "opposition to Obamacare rose six points in December among women, from 54% in November to 60%". It appears that 15% of socialists think that Obamacare is not liberal enough. To those we say, there is always Cuba to live in.
62% opposition is not only a rejection of the implementation of Obamacare, it is a rejection of the product, compounded by the fact that Barack Obama lied to the American People.
Talk about a great ad for Southwest Air … Obamacare failure … 'Wanna Get Away'?
Only 35% of those questioned in the poll say they support the health care law, a 5-point drop in less than a month. Sixty-two percent say they oppose the law, up four points from November.
Nearly all of the newfound opposition is coming from women.
"Opposition to Obamacare rose six points among women, from 54% in November to 60% now, while opinion of the new law remained virtually unchanged among men," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said. "That's bad news for an administration that is reaching out to moms across the country in an effort to make Obamacare a success."

Jammie Wearing Fool reminds us that today us Happy Healthcare Day and the deadline to sign up for Obamacare to have coverage for January 1, 2014. Then again as they say, what difference does it make as Obama will just arbitrarily and illegally change the rules anyhow. Yes he will.
CNN/ORC International Poll: Barack Obama Ends 2013 With All-Time Job Approval of 41% Approve, 56% Disapprove
No wonder Barack Obama wants to get away …
The latest CNN ORC International poll has President Barack Obama at an all-time low job approval rating at year end. Obama's job approval is at a dismal 41% approval and 56% disapproval. This polling numbers a disaster across the board as he has lost women, independents, moderates, every age demographic, including millennials, and those polled had or did not have a college education. What else though would one expect from a president who has been caught in several scandals and even worse, lied to the American public. Heading into 2014, Obama is damaged goods and nothing more than toxic as the American people know they can no longer trust Obama as he has shown on more than one occasion be dishonest. However, the lie of being able to keep one's healthcare plan if they liked it, period was a lie too far.
The 2014 midterm election look to be another Democrat shellacking, if the establishment, RINO Republicans don't manage to mess it up.
Full polling data HERE.
In the afterglow of his 2012 re-election victory, Obama's rating stood at 55% in CNN polling in January. That number ranged from the upper 40s to the low 50s through May in CNN and most other national polling, but steadily declined in the following months as Obama dealt with one controversy after another, from NSA surveillance and IRS targeting of political groups to the disastrous startup of HealthCare.gov and the controversy over millions of Americans being told they would lose their current insurance plans because they didn't meet stands mandated by the new health care law.
According to the poll, which was released Friday, 40% say they disapprove of the President because they say his policies and actions have been too liberal, with 12% saying they disapprove because he hasn't been liberal enough.
"The growth in negative views of the President comes almost equally from the left and the right," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said. "Not surprisingly, the number of Americans who disapprove of him because he is too liberal is up six points since the start of the year. But the number of Americans who disapprove of him because he has not been liberal enough is up almost as much since January, indicating that his slide is due as much to disappointment as it is anger."

CNN Poll: What Obama Job Revovery … Only 24% Believe That an Economic Recovery is Under Way
Remember when President Barack Obama spoke of the job recovery that was under way … Neither do most Americans!
During Barack Obama first State of the Union Address in 2009 he stated the following: "It's an agenda that begins with jobs. As soon… As soon as I took office." Instead he focused 100% on passing Obamacare against the will of the people.
According to the most recent CNN poll, not only is Barack Obama struggling with low job approval numbers and trust issues on Onamacare, with regards to the #1 issue facing Americas today, the economy, 59% things are going badly, only a mere 24% believe the economic recovery is under way. Exactly how long has Obama been making that promise? And instead of making jobs the number one issue, he goes out of his way to destroy jobs with over-regulation and his healthcare and energy agenda. Obamacare has caused business to fire individuals or reduce the jobs from full-time to part-time. An his energy policies are doing their best to destroy the coal industry in the United States.
Americans views on the state of the nation are turning increasingly sour, according to a new national poll.
And a CNN/ORC International survey released Friday also indicates that less than a quarter of the public says that economic conditions are improving, while nearly four in ten say the nation's economy is getting worse.
Forty-one percent of those questioned in the poll say things are going well in the country today, down nine percentage points from April, and the lowest that number has been in CNN polling since February 2012.Fifty-nine percent say things are going badly, up nine points from April.
Besides an obvious partisan divide, which contributes to a urban-rural gap, the survey also indicates a difference of opinion between younger and older Americans.
So its not just Obamacare that Americans are dissatisfied with Barack Obama. It is coming from all directions and at some point it will reach the point of no return, if it already hasn't.
Yea, imagine if we actually did what Obama promised and did oil exploration in the US and made dependency on Middle East oil a thing of the past. Imagine if we regulated less and allowed the American industrial machine to take off. Imagine if we allowed for increases in nuclear, clean coal, oil, natural gas and the dreaded fracking
Imagine what we could accomplish if we followed their example. Think about the America within our reach: A country that leads the world in educating its people. An America that attracts a new generation of high-tech manufacturing and high-paying jobs. A future where we're in control of our own energy, and our security and prosperity aren't so tied to unstable parts of the world. An economy built to last, where hard work pays off, and responsibility is rewarded.
The very small business jobs that Obama is touting are the very one's that Obamacare is destroying.
But we have never measured progress by these yardsticks alone. We measure progress by the success of our people. By the jobs they can find and the quality of life those jobs offer. By the prospects of a small business owner who dreams of turning a good idea into a thriving enterprise. By the opportunities for a better life that we pass on to our children.
This recession has also compounded the burdens that America's families have been dealing with for decades – the burden of working harder and longer for less; of being unable to save enough to retire or help kids with college. [Save enough? How are Americans supposed to save with the increase in energy costs, the price at the pump and high premium costs of Obamacare? Let along college ids can't get jobs.]
The plan that has made all of this possible, from the tax cuts to the jobs, is the Recovery Act. That's right – the Recovery Act, also known as the Stimulus Bill. Economists on the left and the right say that this bill has helped saved jobs and avert disaster. But you don't have to take their word for it. [Yea, how did that "Hopey-Changey" stimulus waste of tax payers money work out for you America?]
That is why jobs must be our number one focus in 2010, and that is why I am calling for a new jobs bill tonight.[What was his #1 focus, jobs or Obamacare?]
You don't need to hear another list of statistics to know that our economy is in crisis, because you live it every day. It's the worry you wake up with and the source of sleepless nights. It's the job you thought you'd retire from but now have lost, the business you built your dreams upon that's now hanging by a thread, the college acceptance letter your child had to put back in the envelope.
The impact of this recession is real, and it is everywhere. [Hmm, doesn't it sound like Barack is talking about the affects of Obamacare on families and businesses?]
