Washington Post: Clinton More Popular Than O'Malley In Maryland

A poll released this weekend shows mixed results for the two-term Democratic governor who is widely believed to be a presidential candidate in 2016.

Hillary Clinton is more popular in Maryland than Gov. Martin O'Malley.

So says a Washington Post poll released over the weekend.

"And while O’Malley is widely touted by pundits as a potential 2016 presidential contender, the poll shows that Hillary Rodham Clinton is wildly more popular in his state," according to a March 2 Post story.

The poll found that the two-term Democrat maintains a 49-percent approval rating–a five point drop compared to a statewide poll released Jan. 23 by Annapolis-based Gonzales Research.

The poll raises questions about the future success of O'Malley's much-rumored 2016 presidential campaign.

The governor is widely considered to be interested in running for president in four years and recently created a federal campaign account called the "O Say Can You See Committee."

O'Malley has roughly a year left in his second and final term as Maryland governor.

Thank you Steve, I think you left out many veterans programs as well. But we kept the corporate welfare.

GE, Pfizer, Microsoft, Apple And Other Major US Corporations Are Parking More Cash Abroad To Avoid Paying Taxes.

AG Holder will not prosecute. Welcome to ObamaNation. ' And even more people think that the Federal government has their own money. Apparently to those with their hands out. Wanting a free phone. The tipping point of those in the wagon and those pulling it is near.

Pick people for the Cabinet because of skin color not because they are the best for the job.
Where are we going? 180 degree turn. Merit be damned, skin color be supreme. http://cdn.rollcall.com/news/cbcs_fudge_escalates_push_for_obama_cabinet_diversity-223009-1.html?popular=true&pos=hln&cdn_load=true&zkPrintable=1&nopagination=1

And this is the best line form the CBC's Fudge.
"Fudge adds that CBC members’ offices have received phone calls from angry constituents questioning why Obama hasn’t nominated anyone with the ability “to speak." Courtesy NBC News Translation Services.

How big a bus does Obama have? He throws everyone he is done with under that damn bus. It started even before he was elected the first time! Watch out Obama supporters still in the wagon. YOU ARE next!

$4.30 per day per person.? Does that include the admin and overhead cost or is that just for the food itself?
Steve March 11, 2013 at 10:14 pm
The free phone program was signed into law by George Bush and it isn't funded by taxes.

"Why is this subject always avoided by people who bang up on little people without money"
No one is doing that. Or I hope not. It is the nanny government that keeps them dependent. A job is far more rewarding to most people than not. But to far too many it is not. The more that work at a job, any job, the more taxes they collect. The more on food stamps, now a record, costs those few left working more. I blame government for the continuing generational dependency. There is no reason or excuse in the world why some of 4 generations are continually dependent on government. Those "little people without money" have succumbed to the nanny state.

Who cares who put a waste of money bill into play, cut it is not worth the money just another entitlement we can't afford.

Everybody involved at that level with MF Global was a sophisticated investor working the derivatives market. Corzine was a highly successful trader long before he was a politician.
Bad investments, bad judgments. Crime? Greed is not a crime. Oh, I forgot. You are the people and Federal funds are your money. JoeBlob.
Buzz Beeler March 11, 2013 at 10:48 pm
This is the way it's funded. It is done by adding on fees to the ones who pay the bills as per this quote from the site that explains how it is done. To make it simple the phone companies pass on the costs to the consumers in the form of added fees.
Her is the quote: "The companies often charge customers to fund their contributions in the form of a universal service fee you might see on your monthly phone bill. The fund is then parceled out to companies, such as América Móvil, that create programs, such as SafeLink, to provide telecommunications service to rural areas and low-income households." Again the middle class consumers pick up the tab.
Buzz Beeler March 11, 2013 at 10:53 pm
How can you argue for entitlements and then turn around and say the "market sets the rates"?
If that were the case that market you speak of would not be anxious at potential tax increases. Why are some many of those so called market companies bowing out of Obama care?

On Steve's topic the drone issue is a little more complicated. http://www.academia.edu/392756/Legality_of_Targeted_Killings_by_Drone_Attacks_in_Pakistan On the spending issue.

This "free" phone deal is should be called a BOHICA (bend over here it comes again) phone. Honest, hardworking tax payers get screwed by picking up the tab with phony phone bill charges . Uncle Sugar at its best once again! Of course we, the hard working citizens are paying for the "free" phones, isn't that the way it's supposed to be?

So there is some truth on both sides. On the one hand some programs were eliminated like even start, that was found to not meet objectives, and DC vouchers (big shock there). But the total amount of cuts was less than the increase in the budget.
Chris W March 12, 2013 at 12:33 am
Oh I see, it's only possible to defraud poor people? I guess rich people are "asking for it"

Steve, You finally made a factually accurate comment. It is correct that President Bush (43) signed & even supported the free cell phone program in its original format. The intent for the free cell phone program was to provide free refurbished cell phones to women in battered women's shelters, domestic abuse victims, low income single mothers & disaster victims through FEMA. They were set up with a very limited number of minutes of talk time & unlimited 911 service. While it was not initially funded with tax payer dollars through the federal budget, it was funded directly by fees (taxes) added onto cell phone & land line phone bills for every phone in the country & thus completely paid for by tax payers.
The free phone program was expanded by the Obama administration & is an abomination compared to the original program. The phones being given out now are not just refurbished but also new phones including high end smart phones & practically anyone can get one of these phones with very little screening. There are even ads on Craigslist for them by the companies that provide the phones because they get paid $ for each phone they give out. They have unlimited talk time as well as text and internet access on many of the phones & the cost overrun from the massive abuse of this program not covered by the original fees on our bills is now being covered with real tax dollars or just added to the national debt. Either way this is not President Bush's free phone plan anymore.

RTB ... NO Sir ... the beauty of Capitalism is that anyone can make a success out of themselves drive, determination, and dedication. The only thing that can keep a person from succeeding in life is a lack of desire to live by those three virtues and instead just make excuses for why this or that did not happen for them. Dr. Ben Carson could have just dropped out of school like so many other kids he grew up around but he had the desire to make the best of his opportunities and ignore people like you who say there are "wildly unequal outcomes that can exacerbate racial divisions."
I guess you would be like the idiot on ESPN (who does not even deserve to have his name repeated) that would label a man like Dr. Carson, Colin Powell, Bill Cosby, or Robert Griffin III as Uncle Toms or Oreos because they are just not black enough or not "down with the cause." All this time I thought the "cause" was like the NAACP acronym says, "for the advancement of colored people." You have to take your own steps forward to advance.

Have you ever read the Safe Harbor statements or the Risk Factors described in minute detail in a Form 10-K?
The possibility of reward exists in direct proportion to risk. It's hard to make a buck.
Buzz Beeler March 12, 2013 at 01:17 am
1ke, while that is true a majority of small businesses fail. For most middle class people the stock market is a losing venture.
There is noting in the constitution that provides entitlements for anyone.

And that's why they were under investigation? They mixed customer funds with their operating funds. Then because Corzine is well connected, the investigation slowed. Tell me with a straight face that if there was a firm with republicans controlling it, we would not have been watching a civil trial by now.
1ke March 12, 2013 at 11:21 am
I did not know that MF Global was a bank and I haven't noticed anyone being prosecuted for anything. Oh yeah, except for Doug Decinces and Bernie Madoff.
Chris W March 12, 2013 at 11:49 am
That's the whole bloody point. Thy we're allowed to defraud. As the company was tanking, they moved customer funds (They had a duty to invest) into their operating accounts.
How is that not fraud? Just because Corzine was a Democrat? And who said they were a bank.
