Here is video in two parts of Donald Trump appearing on with Bill O’Reilly tonight where they covered a wide range of issues – from health care to illegal immigration to Obama’s Birth Certificate.
Trump said he favors private insurance solutions and allowing people to buy coverage across state lines.
On the border, Trump said he would put troops on the border with Mexico to stop the flow of illegal immigrants and the flow of narcotics. “You either have a country or you don’t.” On what to do with the millions of illegals already here – Trump said they should be dealt with on a case by case basis depending on how productive they have been here.
On Obama’s Birth Certificate, Trump held firm to his call for Obama to show his Birth Certificate. O’Reilly disagreed with him, saying the birth announcements in the Honolulu newspapers sealed the deal for him that Obama was born in Hawaii. Trump was insistent that he does not think that settles the deal.
When asked if there is a “Muslim problem in the world” – Trump said, “Absolutely, absolutely. I mean, I don’t notice Swedish people knocking down the World Trade Center.”
Trump also says he is pro-Life, and that he opposes gay marriage.
NOTE: O’Reilly teased the rest of the interview to air tomorrow by saying Trump says something about what he would do in Iraq if elected President that will “make you head snap back.”
New York Senator Chuck Schumer was caught on tape Tuesday instructing his Democratic colleagues on how to spin the media with regard to “extreme” Republicans and their budget cuts. “I always use extreme…That is what the caucus instructed me to use,” Schumer blurted.
The liberal senator was apparently unaware his comments were being recorded (The remarks were made moments before a conference call with reporters began.)
Here is video of Rush Limbaugh today giving a strong indictment of The Democrat Party for what they have done to the United States since taking control of the House of Representatives in 2006. Between Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama, he describes a litany of disasters they have brought on the nation with their big Government, left-wing ideology and agenda. Limbaugh says flatly that “the Democrats have driven this nation to the brink of bankruptcy and instability.” He also said they are the greatest danger to the future of the country and the next generation.
Here is a video posted by Donald Trump on YouTube today. It’s titled, “From the Desk of Donald Trump.” Trump says Bill O’Reilly called and wants him to do his show. He indicates he will be on with O’Reilly tonight.
Trump said his main issues are “China, OPEC” and all the other people who are taking advantage of the United States – which he says will stop if he runs for President and wins.
He also mentions the “Birther issue,” which he said is important because a person who is not born in the United States can’t be President.
“The ‘birther issue’ really has resonated – it’s all over the place now. He doesn’t have a Birth Certificate. . . . There’s something fishy going on here.”
Quinnipiac is out with a new poll that has to be extremely concerning to President Obama and his team. It finds that 42% of those surveyed approve of the job he is doing as President, while 48% disapprove.
Even more worrying has to be the answer to whether Obama deserves to be re-elected in 2012. Right now, only 41% of those surveyed say he deserves to be re-elected, while 50% say he does not. Among Independents, 37% say he deserves re-election, while 52% say he does not.
On the key issue of the Budget Deficit, Obama has completely tanked. Only 30% of all those surveyed approve of his handling of the Budget Deficit issue, while 64% disapprove. Just 23% of Independents approve, with a whopping 71% disapproving!
If Republicans can field a halfway strong candidate, Obama is in trouble. It will be much harder for Obama to move these numbers in his favor because he is now a known quantity. Voters know what his agenda is, and in general – they do not like it. Any GOP candidate is likely to begin with lower numbers versus Obama – but there will be much more potential upside, particularly if it is someone not as well-known to people.
Obviously, these numbers can change based on events. But these are not good signs for an incumbent President a year and a half out from an election. To not be anywhere near 50% approval is not where they want to be.
Here is a video report this morning from Rick Leventhal in Libya. He reports from Ajdabiya that Libyan Rebels have been pushed back by forces of Moammar Gadhafi. The oil ports of Ras Lanuf and Brega – recaptured by Rebels over the weekend – are now very much in doubt. Despite NATO Air Strikes, Gadhafi’s forces have regained the offensive and are moving East.
