Obama's Poll Numbers Tumble For many years, it has felt as though Barack Obama has been cloaked in impenetrable body armor – From his likability to the lapdog media, Obama's failures and missteps rarely seemed to affect his poll numbers. It was as if he could do no wrong. Well after weeks and weeks of scandals, cracks in his armor are finally starting to show. According to a brand new CNN/ORC poll, Obama's approval rating has dropped eight points in the last month. His approval rating stands at its lowest point in eighteen months at just 45%. Obama's disapproval rating is now at 54%. On the issue of trust, Obama's ratings have tanked by 9 points, hitting the lowest level of his presidency with just 49% of Americans believing he is honest. Why the loss of confidence in Obama? Because into the empty-vessel of the relatively unknown Barack Obama, millions of Americans once poured their hopes and desires of what our government could be and what politicians could aspire to become. Obama is not a leader he is a salesman; He's the greatest salesman who convinced Americans that he would be different and that he would change the course of this country. Instead, we've come to learn that Obama isn't much different than previous admin istrations in many ways. For more on this, check out Hannity.com. She's Back She’s back! Governor Sarah Palin has returned and I just love it. She’s back just in time. Governor Palin left us the single greatest piece of advice for the situation in Syria. “We should sit back and let Allah work it out,” was the advice Governor Palin gave us this past weekend. You know why I liked it? It was a refreshing line because there is truth to it in that is that there are radical extremists who believe in the total destruction of America. We ought not be involved here and Governor Palin doesn’t care about political correctness, she spoke plainly about the reality that this situation won’t end well for America either way because we have two radicals from two different extremes who’re battling out. If we send in American troops, well they hate us anyway, and we just don’t need to be involved. Period. End of sentence. America cannot force the democratization of the Middle East until radical Islam ha s been controlled. For more on Governor Palin's return, check out this article on The Washington Post.

NSA Scandal Continues Keeping up with all of the scandals surrounding the Obama administration has turned into a full-time job in-and-of-itself. Be sure to visit Hannity.com for some of the latest developments in the NSA scandal. Yesterday on “State of the Union,” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers similarly declared: “The NSA is not listening to Americans’ phone calls, and it is not monitoring their emails. If it did, it’s illegal. It’s breaking the law.” Interestingly, the perpetrator of the NSA scandal, Eric Snowden, has made headlines with his recent on-the-run antics. Snowden's father, Lonnie Snowden, gave an exclusive interview to Fox News' Eric Bolling where he urged his son to return home and not commit any acts of treason.
