Obama Voters Suffer Most Under Obama Economy

September 6, 2013 by Bob Livingston

The cynic might say that President Barack Obama is pushing to make war on Syria to distract Americans from the myriad scandals swirling around his Administration and/or his failed efforts at economic recovery. But while there are deeper issues behind the push to war (which we have been and will continue to explore elsewhere), war talk has served to push big issues to the back pages.

For instance, recovery summer never materialized — not in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 or 2013 — despite predictions by Obama and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. And guess who’s hurt the most by Obama’s policies. It’s Obama’s core demographic.

Obama received 51 percent of the vote in 2012. The five demographic groups he carried and the percentage that voted for him were youths (60 percent), single women (67 percent), blacks (93 percent), Hispanics (71 percent), and those without a high school diploma (64 percent).

According to a report by Sentier Research, since recovery summer was announced in 2009, households headed by single women have seen their incomes fall by 7 percent, and those under age 25 have seen their incomes drop 9.6 percent.

The incomes for black heads-of-household have dropped by 10.9 percent, and Hispanic heads-of-household have seen theirs drop 4.5 percent. For those with a high school diploma or less, incomes dropped 8 percent. (Incomes fell 6.9 percent for those with less than a high school diploma and 9.3 percent for those with one.)

In dollar terms, female heads of household saw their annual salaries drop by $2,300. Black-led households saw their annual salaries drop by more than $4,000, and Hispanic-led households saw their annual salaries drop $2,000.

Gallup released its monthly Payroll-to-Population survey yesterday. It showed that only 43.7 percent of the eligible population is employed, and it pegged unemployment at 8.7 percent. In 2012, those numbers were 45.3 percent and 8.1 percent.

So much for hope and change.

I’d say Sarah Palin has a right to strut a little on this. The liberal attacks on her were so vicious, and so formulaic, when all she did was state an obvious truth: Government health care will inevitably lead to rationing, and that will mean some people face denial of care.

Ergo: Death panels.

How is that even controversial? It only became that way because ObamaCare apologists turned it into a debate over technicalities. Why, I can’t find anything in the bill that establishes death panels!

Of course you can’t, knuckleheads. No piece of legislation would say such a thing. The death panels don’t result from the letter of the law. They result from the predictable impacts of the law. Even Howard Dean sees it coming. Sarah Murnaghan sadly became one of the first real-life examples. It is really a testament to the dishonesty of the mainstream media that Palin’s vindication isn’t known far and wide by every person in this country.

So yeah, Palin deserved the chance to release this video, and to thoroughly enjoy it. You should too:

Andy and Leora Nowicki are in the process of being evicted from Cedar Village, their apartment in Newington's senior housing complex. The reason: Andy, a decorated war veteran, who is 89 (until Sept. 4) and missing part of his leg from a war wound, was smoking too close to the building in violation of rules. They are photographed at their apartment close to where he had his eventful cigarette. (Rick Hartford, Hartford Courant) http://articles.courant.com/2013-08-23/community/hc-newington-evict...

The housing authority of Newington, CT is proceeding with the eviction of 90 year old, WWII vet Andy Nowicki for violating the community’s smoking policy.

The authority allows smoking outside and away from windows, but Nowicki has extreme trouble moving due to war injuries and his advanced age. On top of that, his wife of the same age has advances Alzheimer’s.

“I’m appalled and disgusted that someone would do this to another human being,” said their daughter, Janet. “She (her mother) thinks she’s going to jail. If they’re supposed to serve somebody it’s supposed to be me.”

A hearing is set for the Purple Heart recipient on Sept. 17th.

Change of subject. Here are some interesting facts I have learned.

  • Did you know that there are chemicals such as Formaldehyde, Phenol, Benzene, Toluene, and Xylene found in common household cleaners? Just about everything you use for cleaning house, bathing, even for dental care contains toxic substances. Toxins that cause ADHD/ODD, developmental delays, chronic fatigue syndrome, and other health problems.
  • Are you aware that the indoor air quality of your home is more toxic than outdoors? There are over 2200 products people use in their homes that contain toxic chemicals. Chemicals that can be causing your children to be sick, causing you to be tired, and so much more.
  • The EPA reports that toxic chemicals found in cleaning and personal care products are three times more likely to cause cancer than outside pollutants. Products such as laundry detergent, aerosol sprays, toothpaste, bleach and even makeup have toxic ingredients . These toxic ingredients can be absorbed into your skin. In addition, The President’s toxic Substances Strategy Committee warns that 90% of all cancers are triggered by toxic chemicals in our homes. Toxins in the home are posing real dangers to you and your family unknowingly on a daily basis.
  • The latest article about organic teas can be found here http://www.naturalnews.com/040972_Celestial_Seasonings_pesticides_tea.html
  • http://wakeupcallnews.blogspot.com/2013/07/top-childrens-vitamins-full-of.html Learn what's in your children's vitamins. Yuck. Glad I use organic. After I read the ingredients that were in these vitamins I compared them with the ones that I give my son, and I saw how much less was put into my son's vitamin compared to the ones in this link
