Obama Has Aura But Doesn't Know How to Legislate
Real Clear Politics ^ | 07/30/2009 | Michael Barrone

Aura dazzles, but argument gets things done. Consider the debate on the Democrats' health care bill and the increasingly negative response to Barack Obama's performance. Democrats have the numbers to pass a health care bill -- 256 votes in the House, 38 more than the 218 majority; 60 votes in the Senate, enough to defeat a filibuster. But they haven't come up with the arguments, at least yet, to put those numbers on the board. It's something not many predicted that bright January inauguration morning.

ZERO is an actor, nothing more nothing less. And actors are a dime a dozen.

But the jive talk only gets you so far, as ZERO is finding out.

Satan probably has “aura” too. That does not make it a good thing...

Some see what they want to see. Aura? Not hardly - it’s hatred seething from him for anything good, anything white, anything American.

with such a huge majority in congress, he can’t even convince his own party to vote with him, how is he going to convince others his idea is better. No leadership skilsl at all

He can’t convince them because they know the majority of the American people are against Obamacare. They don’t want to sacrifice their political careers by following Obama over the cliff.

“I think he overestimates his ability to take people — particularly our colleagues on the Right — and sort of charm them into being nice. I know he talks about being post-partisan. But I’ve worked frankly with...”

—an opinion of Obama from Bawney Fwank, the first wide-open gay Representative, and also the only Representative censured by the House for helping an anal-penetrative boyfriend run a male-anal-penetrative prostitution ring out of an apartment they shared. Oh, and Bawney’s a Democrat. From Massachusetts.

The only aura that I see is that of an empty suit. The guy can’t even make a public speech without a teleprompter. Someone has to tell him what to say. It is only when he has to speak without his puppet masters that he gets in trouble, such as the “police acted stupidly.” If people wanted to dispel the image of a Black man as a “white man’s burden,” they elected the wrong Black man.
