Harry Reid: "Obama is Like A Trapped Chilean Miner"

This might surprise you, but I agree with Harry Ried that Obama is like a trapped miner — both are in dangerously over their heads and begging for cigarettes:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has compared President Barack Obama to a trapped Chilean miner.

In a speech to supporters in Las Vegas on Sunday night, Reid said that when Obama replaced George W. Bush in the White House he found himself in a “hole so deep that he couldn’t see the outside world.

“It was like the Chilean miners, but he, being the man he is, rolled up his sleeves and said ‘I am going to get us out of this hole,’” Reid said at an “Early Vote GOTV” event.

It’s worth noting for Harry that the leader in saving the Chilean miners was a conservative.

From Spuddser in comments: “I guess that would be an apt comparison if the Chilean miners had all grabbed their shovels and started digging downward to get out of the hole.”

Conservative Referendum on RHINO'S

In New York Congressional District 23 with Doug Hoffman the Conservative movement has proven to the political elite in America that we are still a well oiled machine compared to the RNC. The RNC and RHINOS showed complete contempt for Conservatives when the endorsed Dede Scozzafava for Congress who is a pro abortionist, pro gay rights and pro-card check candidate for Congress in a Conservative district in upstate New York. This tactical move by Conservatives to support Doug Hoffman will make a lasting impression on the RNC in the 2010 mid-term election and 2012 Presidential election. The liberal media will say that the Republican Party is moving to hard right not the so-called moderate center. The Republican Party only win elections when they go back to there grassroots base which is Conservatism.The last Presidential election has proven us right when the Republican Party nominated a RHINO Sen. John McCain and we got crushed in the General election by a socialist liberal President Obama. The Republican Party does not need to be re-branded themselves but, go back to those basic principals that President Reagan and Contract For American stood for and we will win 2010 and 2012 election in a landslide. The Republican Party candidate Scozzafava now is supporting Bill Owens the Democratic Candidate in NY23 because, she does not like the Conservative agenda. Scozzafava would have probably switched parties if she was elected to Congress and embarrassed the RNC. Scozzafava is now doing Robo Calls the for the Democrat Bill Owens and this is a slap in the face to Newt Gingrich and Michael Steele who spent almost a million dollars supporting this Benedict Arnold who was camouflaged as Republican. The RHINO'S have been trying to convince Conservatives that the Reagan era is over and we must make a tactical move to the left to secure votes. I am not willing to sell out my Conservative principals for RHINO'S like Dede Scozzafava who will openly flaunt her liberal socialist views while representing the Republican Party in the Congress. Finally, what the RNC has to understand is that we are Conservatives before we are Republicans and there is not enough money or votes that sway our opinions when it comes to the major issues that will save our "Republic" form a certain downfall.

Blue And Red State Unemployment Rates

The unemployment rate in so-called Blue States are still extremely high in America. These are states that President Obama won by a large margin in last year Presidential election. The unemployment rates in blue states are 20% higher than red states that Sen. McCain won in last year Presidential election. The unemployment rate nationally is 8.9% but if the number don't start improving soon the Democratic Party may face the prospect of 2010 mid-term election losses in both Governor and congressional races. The Republican and Democratic Party are vying at 40% to 39% for leadership in the Rasmussen conducted generic poll. Rasmussen says that Democratic support has dropped for a high of 50% and Republican support has risen from a low of 34%. Democrats began the year with a seven point lead over Republicans for the first several weeks of 2009 Rasmussen Said, that began to slip and the Republicans actually took a two point lead in the middle of March. Since then, the range has been dead even to a four point lead for Democrats until the Republicans regained the lead. The key to the mid-term elections is the President approval rating matters more than economy and Congress itself in determining the outcome of mid-term election results. The President will need to have a 65% approval rating to avoid losing ground in Congress in the 2010 mid-term elections. President Obama average approval rating is 60% the same a President Jimmy Carter at the same time in history. There is a big risk that states that voted for President Obama might be disappointed by his economic results so far. The state of Michigan has been hit hard by the failures of Chrysler and General Motors failure despite spending billions of taxpayers dollars. The state of California is on the the verge of economic collapse and has a 11% unemployment rate in March and April and Governor has threatened to fire 5,000 state workers to reduce expenses is face of a 21 billion dollar shortfall. This is why today in a forum Treasury Secretary Geithner was reducing expectations when it comes to a economic recovery. Geinther said that unemployment rate will not drop and the economic recovery will not be felt by the Average American for a long period of time.
