Rasmussen Reports: Has its latest daily tracking poll on President Obama, today Obama has a 53% Disapproval rating, while 46% of likely voters approve of the job performance of President Obama. The latest unemployment figures were a disaster for the Oval, the rate has gone up from 9.1% to 9.2%. If you include those in part time work and those in jobs well below their qualifications the rate of unemployment is between 16% -20%. The one silver lining for the Oval is that the Presidential Election is a year away, thus if Obama is going to change his economic polices this is the time. In 1984 Ronald Reagan had just below 7.3% unemployment but won with 59% of the vote, 49 States and 525 Electoral votes, but this was due to the perception that the US was in the boom years, this is not the perception in the US NOW, Obama has to become a Reagan Democrat or face being a Carter Democrat, the Oval does not have much time, does Obama want a second term, or cant he admit he was wrong.

Ex - First Lady Betty Ford has Died
BBC News: The wife of the late President Ford, Betty Ford died on Friday. Of course Mrs Ford gave her name to the Betty Ford Centre and supported her husband through his political career, in 1976 President Ford faced a challenge for the Republican nomination from then ex Governor Ronald Reagan. The Ford Campaign won the nomination but lost to Jimmy Carter in 1976. In 1980 Ronald Reagan wanted ex President Ford to be his running mate against Jimmy Carter, but in effect Ford asked for a Co- Presidency, this was a no go with the Reagan’s, the demand was on live TV. The modern Republican Party is more Reagan’s than Ford’s.
