25 Replies to “Take Me, Obama”

  1. Funny hearing the freaking MSM claiming to be victims of Obama fever and just now discovering how unqualified he is. The same MSM that sent crack teams of dumpster divers to Alaska and camped out waiting for the Palin emails. That’s rich guys. Go back to Obama swooning.

  2. “chose to ignore some disquieting aspects of his biography”
    Note to the NYT – You and the rest of the MSM ignored all of those aspects, not just some of them.

  3. That’s the problem with the left – they can’t just commit suicide or accidently drown like retarded kittens by themselves. They insist that they drag everyone else down with them!
    They are dependant, dependant & dependant, Losers every which way.

  4. I suspect it is mostly a ruse by the left.
    The far left commentators are complaining that Obama is too “centrist”, too “compromising”, or “listens to Republicans” too much. None of which is true. He is a rigid ideological socialist.
    They are trying to attract those independent voters who think: “if the extreme left complains, then Obama must be a moderate”.
    It is a common strategy that has been used effectively by our Federal Conservatives, although in a much more honest way (because they are centrist).

  5. A Light Comes On
    It was a dark a stormy night in Democratille. Dems were gleeful after having just destroyed the economy of the great United States of America, when suddenly without warning, a faint light flickered in the distance. What could it be?
    It was the first realization that their man Barry was….(wait for it)…..UNELECTABLE!!
    What could they do? What will they do?….

  6. Oh come on all you lefties out there – stick together, eh!
    ‘bama may be a bum, but he’s your bum.

  7. Sure liberals are very gently questioning their God King – but the sad fact is that no matter how dissapointed they are in Obama, they are still going to vote for him come November 2012. This guy may be around for another 4 years.

    Not to worry.
    The makers and breakers are the Independents, not the registered Dems or Repubs.
    Independents are not ideological, that’s why they’re Independents.
    They either vote for more of what works or against what doesn’t work, they are results oriented voters.
    The Independents will vote against Obama this time around because Obama has accomplished nothing good.

    I agree with you that independents are not ideological. What they are though, in general, is uninformed. That will lead to them “falling” for Obama just as they did in 2008.
    The media is unhappy with Obama not because they recognize that his polices have failed, but because they think he failed to properly implement his policies (i.e., he let the Republicans / Tea Party win). So, they tell independents that the entire mess the United States currently findes itself in is not a failure of liberal ideas (which Obama buys into completely), but because those nasty TEA Partiers did not allow Obama to put those ideas into place.
    Like a woman who goes back to her abusive boyfriend over and over again, Independents will take one more chance on Obama because, this time, it will be different.

    Of course he will be – He’s black!
    Do you see any other black candidates for them to pick from? No, there are not, so they will be forced by retarded consciousness and subconscious racism to pick the only one available.

    I would agree that the color of Obama’s skin was a large factor in getting him elected in 2008. Many Americans, battered by the past (slavery & civil rights), were anxious to “prove” that they weren’t racists and so voted for a man that, were he white, would never have been able to beat Hillary Clinton for the nomination.
    However, since his election, Obama and the Dems have played the race card so often that it has lost much of its power. Look how people are snickering at Al Sharpton’s latest on-air gaffe.
    I’m not saying that the 52% who voted for Obama in 2088 won’t vote for him again, I’m just saying that I think race has become much less of an issue than Obama would like it to be. After all, it’s always easier to scream “Racist” than it is to actually back up your decisions with facts.

  12. “chose to ignore some disquieting aspects of his biography”
    Note to the NYT – You and the rest of the MSM ignored all of those aspects, not just some of them.
    they buried rather than ignored, and anyone who chose not to ignore was gleefully labled racist.

  13. OT
    The same in-fighting is happening on the Canadian Left.
    I’ve spent the better part of the morning(@ G&M) enjoying Libs and Dips fighting-it-out about a fund-raising letter Dion penned commenting on the Dippers new leader.
    I’d say the “coalition” thingie is off.

  14. You gotta wonder how that warm tingley feeling that was running up Chris Mathew’s leg in 2008 is doin’ ?
    Probably cold and crusty by now !

  15. I agree with you that independents are not ideological. What they are though, in general, is uninformed. That will lead to them “falling” for Obama just as they did in 2008.
    ~rindlrad
    True, they are uninformed.
    I don’t think they’ll fall for ‘hoping’ Media-minted Superstar Obama will bring good ‘change’ though since his first term has been less than stellar.
    Many people voted for Obama because America had a pyschological guilt problem with the issue of race.
    As has been said, many voted for Obama to personally purge themselves of that stigma.
    That motive is now gone for many, the race card has since been grossly overplayed and I think most people are now largely desensitized.
    There are many polls that clearly show Obama has lost the Independents.

    Just search- Independents poll Obama losing -to see that he has lost their support.
    Obama was a clean slate in 2008, now he has a record to run on and that record isn’t good.

  16. Not quite what I was looking for, but not bad:

  17. Oz-
    I don’t disagree that Obama now has a record which makes it impossible for him to run on “hope and change.” I also acknowledge that current polling seems to indicate that independents have a serious case of buyer’s remorse.
    My point is that independents may be swayed in the coming months by the MSM and Dems repeating over and over that liberal policies (and thus Obama’s policies) have not failed; rather Republicans and TEA Partiers would not allow the Chosen One to fully implement his policies that caused the failure.
    In other words, I don’t trust independents to make choices based on actual facts and outcomes, rather than what they are spoon-fed by the media. Come November 2012, Obama may be able to convince them that he is still the one they have been waiting for.
    However, all that said, Obama is so petulant, unserious, and lazy that perhaps he won’t be able to convince independents that he’s still Prince Charming. One can only hope.

    November 2010 election results would indicate the trend toward the Republicans is real and I’m sure that the Independents who made it happen are well aware that Obama had the Dem majority House and Dem majority Senate to work his miracles for the first 2 failed years.
    Another 3rd of the U.S. Senate is up for election in 2012 and it will probably lean Republican too.
    Come November 2012, Obama may be able to convince them that he is still the one they have been waiting for.
    ~rindlrad
    I disagree, since Obama has arrived (and without solutions too) so basically they’re still waiting for someone else.

  19. 46 percent of registered voters, told The Post they definitely will not vote for Obama’s reelection. Only 20 percent of respondents said they definitely will vote for Obama in 2012. Thirty percent said they would consider it.

    46% Definitely NOT voting for Obama.
    The way things are trending economically, the Republicans could run a warm corpse for President in 2012 and beat Obama.

  20. Oz-
    Independents can be a squirrelly bunch; however, I certainly hope your analysis of the situation proves to be correct.

  21. Republicans could run a warm corpse for President in 2012 and beat Obama.
    Oz at August 11, 2011
    That is the worrisome thing isn’t it?
    That the Reps. do run someone who may be questionable.
    America, (and inversely us/Canada) can ill afford an ineffectual ‘on job training’ potus like this last one.
    The stakes are too high(to lose) and the present potus is plainly too challenged for the job,(should he win re-election).
    The States needs a superman at this time or at the least someone who has a grasp on the problem and the smarts to act…and the ability to get past the BS and GET ELECTED.

  22. The US doesn’t need a “superman” for president, what it needs is a president who’s decisive, flexible, and who appoints the best people to cabinet positions, not ideologues. Ronald Reagan is considered to be one of the best presidents in recent history and he made hard decisions when necessary, but also had some very talented people in cabinet positions. Obozo has appointed people he thinks are his intellectual inferiors or yes-men to cabinet posts and the result has been things like operations to arm the Mexican drug gangs and a determined attempt to destroy the US economy.
    Considering that Obozo’s university transcripts are one of the most closely held secrets by this administration, my guess is that he’s an affirmative action student with an IQ one standard deviation above the US black mean. Intelligence is just one of the things that a good president needs but indecisiveness is definitely a character flaw in a president as is failure to adapt to unexpected circumstances. Clinton, for all his flaws, showed adaptability. Maybe post-Obozo there will be a new restriction on who can run for president which bars people with narcissistic personality disorders from attaining that post.

  23. rindirad has a strong point; don’t ignore Obama’s teflon capacity.
    Obama ran in 2008 as The Saviour, who was not only Not Bush but also, appeared as the embodiment of the amorphous future-oriented images of Hope and Change.
    You, the listener, viewer…filled in the particulars of what you considered ‘Hope and Change’.
    Now, in 2012, Obama is going to run, yet again, on amorphous images. That’s not only because Obama, who is clinically pathological, can’t relate directly to reality; it’s because his real record of the past 3 years is disastrous.
    So, Obama is going to run as The Victim. He remains pure; he remains noble; he remains The Saviour. BUT – he can’t accomplish these noble endeavours because he’s a Victim. Of the petty squabbles of The Peasants. Congress.
    Watch him; he’s going to portray Himself more and more as paralyzed within the dirt and mess of the lower echelons of humanity – the people. In Congress.
    Of course, such an image totally ignores that Obama’s Democrats controlled the House, the Senate and the Executive and could, and did, get through any legislation they wanted. That includes the increase in the debt ceiling which Obama could have dealt with a year ago – but didn’t because of the 2010 election..and..because he wanted to blame the GOP for its problems.
    It ignores that when Congress rejected Obama’s Will, ..such as refusing to pass Cap and Trade..Obama ignored Congress. And set up his unelected Committee of EPA..to do the same things that bill would have..and smother US business.
    The GOP are going to have to counter this massive campaign of Obama-as-Victim by facts and dates..etc.
    That’s a basic reason why Ryan refused to be on yet-another-committee, the Gang of 12. The GOP know that Obama will have his side with their lines in the sand..but Obama will blame the GOP side for any and all deadlocks.
    Oh, and at that same time, Obama will have ‘his’ movie released, showing him as Saviour, overseeing the killing of Bin Laden.
