Warning Signs: The More He Talks, the Worse it Gets for Him

Barack Obama’s real problem, however, is that the more people hear him speak, the less inclined they are to buy his “audacity of hope” because, like most of us, there are some serious problems like the cost of filling the car’s gas tank. Blaming “Big Oil” is nowhere near an answer when the obvious one is to drill here in America for our own abundant oil reserves.

“Clean energy” is another one of those catch phrases that no longer resonates with people who have figured out that wind and solar won’t keep the lights on. If "global warming" is mentioned, you will be able to hear the snickers resonate from coast to coast.

NC Media Watch: And just how important is global warming to Californians (edited)

A thousand potential California voters were asked this open ended question: What are the main issues facing California.

Respondents said that the most pressing issues were:

• The state budget and budget deficit (18 percent)
• The economy in general (12 percent)
• Gasoline prices (9 percent)
• Education (9 percent)
• Illegal immigrants (9 percent)
• Unemployment (7 percent)
• Housing and the mortgage crisis (5 percent)
• High taxes (3 percent)
• Government spending (3 percent)
• Global warming or environment (2 percent)

The total does not add up to 100 percent due to the multiple other issues in the open ended question that did not score.
