The latest Gallup poll, conducted June 11-14, 2007, has Rudy Giuliani leading the Republicans at 28% (down 4 points since the last Gallup Poll) with Fred Thompson gaining 8 points to place second with 19%. McCain falls to third with 18% (down 1 point), Romney is at 7% (down 5) and Gingrich also is at 7% (down 1).
What's remarkable about that is that Fred Thompson hasn't spent any advertising money at all in getting to second place. He also hasn't appeared in any of the debates. That does not bode well for the other Republican primary candidates.
On the Democratic side, Hillary has gained 1 point from the last Gallup poll to hit the 33% mark. Obama has fallen 9 points to 21%. Rounding out the Democrats are Al Gore at 18% (up 1 point), John Edwards unchanged at 11%, and Bill Richardson at 5% (up 2).
These results must be disappointing for Barack Obama, who had climbed into a tie with Hillary in the last Gallup poll taken June 1st - 3rd, 2007.

1. About Barak Obama
(1) Between 1983 and 1985 Barak Obama spent a year working for Business International Corporation. You do not have to believe me it is in his biography on his web site and in his bio in Wikipedia.
Business International Corp. is a law firm that specializes in helping companies moving their manufacturing and product development overseas. Check out Business International Corp’s web site or their listing in Wikipedia. Someone whose only job in the private sector was shipping jobs overseas is not someone that should be in charge of the USA economy.
(2) The Presidency of the United States is an executive position. Barak Obama has never held an executive position of any type. No Governor, no Mayor, no CEO, not even the manager of a department store, or caption of a Swift boat. He did teach in a law school for 4 years.
(3) Barak Obama has only two years of experience in the federal government. Would anyone allow someone with only two years of experience in the aviation industry run an airline, or two years in retail run a department store, or two years of experience in a sport run a national franchise?
(4) The Presidency is an executive position that requires specific plans for solving problems. Check out Barak Obama’s web site where he states his positions in the broadest and vaguest possible terms; it contains no specific plans for anything.
(5) The best job Barak Obama has ever had is US Senate for two years for $157,000 per year. Yet he just purchased a house for $1,600,000. If he is not on the take his wife must have a valorously well paying job.
(6) Until a few days ago Barak Obama’s web site said he was educated in a Moslem school for at least 2 years while he lived in Indonesia from age 6 to age 12. His posting in Wikipedia still says that. Yet his supporters are claiming it is a smear even though it is the truth.
(7) Besides writing two auto-biographies and no legislation purposed, he has done not a thing.
(8) White canidate would be distroyed in one day if the church they went to had a doctrine aimed at ones race like Obama's church. Check out his churches web site.(i http://www.tucc.org/about.htm)
(9) In his 2006 Income Tax filing Obama donated $ 15,107 to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation and $ 5,000 to Muntu Dance Theater. How long would a White presidential candidate last if it was found that he donated $ 20,000 to Whites only organizations.

2. Gallup, Shamllup! What does a national poll reflect this early in the race-name recognition. We all know Hillary Clinton is running. What are the issues? Iraq-Will she go to war to get rid of one wild and crazy guy? Iraq- Can she be trusted to declare peace and kill anyone against it? Ethics- This is the Enabler of the Clinton Circus. Immigration- Anyone supporting the Bush surrender plan for anmenst need not apply. Scooter Libby- Pardon him and you may as well go home. Clinton's Impeachment- You can't get ahead getting even. Gallup, Shamallup! She's Bill's puppet. We don't know how the Black vote will break. Hillary is soft on 9-11 and wrong on war.

3. I will give up my home and car if the American voters elect a black man named Hussein Obama to the White House.
