Colby King, also a columnist for The Washington Post, protested Krauthammer’s analysis and said it was inspired by a “dislike for Obama.”

Surely, Colby should not mince words and call Krauthammer a RACIST, even though Charles seems to frustratingly, occasionally say good things about Obama.

Personally, I've never understood why conservatives have been so enamored with Dr. Krauthammer. Krauthammer is not and never has been a conservative. At best, he's a RINO with all caps. At worst, he's a Donkey that talks nice but empty platitudes and obvious comparisons.

The comparison of Dr. K to the character “Dr. Strangelove” in Stanley Kubrick's movie of the same name is appropriate. Dr. K is a really creepy dude.

Problem being the Repubs will give him a pass. They point out nothing. they blame the MSM but do nothing to help themselves. They should have hammered him in 2006 and forward. Instead everyone wanted to have the first black president. You mean to tell me that with W as POTUS they couldn’t get this guys records? BS. Roberts gave two oaths of office? Passes given on Black Panthers, ACORN, Fast & Furiuos, black farmers settlement, etc...
We have to get more guts and shut this POS down along with the entire Dem party. Now is as good of a time as any!

The problem with President Obama is his inability to comprehend, basic math, Econ 101, and human nature. Obama strongly believed that when he rained money down on America in the form of Stimulus I, it would create an orgy of spending, confidence in the government would follow, and the economy would in turn rebound. Such thoughts always make so much sense after a few drinks at the late-night inauguration party.

While in theory this plan should work, it is ultimately flawed because it does not take into account the emotional element of that amorphous known as, ‘the economy.’ Before anyone spends one dime of their money (Stimulus or not) they first and foremost must feel confident in both tomorrow and themselves. By this I mean, people must believe the government is in control of its fiscal house.

By borrowing like a drunken navy, Obama killed any confidence the Stimulus might have given us from the get-go. We all skipped the economic orgy and went directly to the morning after regret. We didn’t celebrate the introduction of Stimulus I as much as we lamented the strain it put on Americas bank account. This regret tightened all of our wallets up, sucked the fun out of electing Obama last night, and made us all put our heads down in economic shame.

And now to make matters orse, President Obama is pushing for seconds (in the form of Thursday’s speech) when we’re trying to sneak out the back door unnoticed. How trashy does Obama want us to feel ourselves?

We are never getting out of this mess until we get leadership that can run a calculator. Even if spending is reduced and entitlements are reformed, any money sucked out of the system will be more than made up for by an emergence of confidence in our national psyche. Fiscal responsibility will put that stimulus orgy behind us and we can then start being proud of ourselves again! That, and if we also reform our tax code...we may be even be willing to get a little silly again at the next work party.

No, Charles, many of us knew this long before he was elected.

Speak for yourself.

Obama could be attempting to mimic former President Harry Truman’s 1948 campaign against a “do-nothing Congress.”

Go for it, Barry. Government has done enough in the short 3 1/2 decades you've been in office.

We want Congress to do nothing.

Except get the hell out of our lives.

Well Mr. Krauthammer, when do we bring back jimmah cattah’s misery index? The markets took a beating after bamster’s job speech, fuel prices are still high, unemployment is still going up. Nothing different than when the peanut farmer was in the WH.

Of course the black guy on the panel has to personally attack someone else for calling Obama for what he is. No doubt that guy had no hesitation calling GWB dumb...

"With Jimmy Carter we developed malaise, which is a feeling of general discomfort or uneasiness, often the first indication of a disease. With Obama we now have the disease." Which was deliberately injected into the bloodstream with a hypodermic needle named "Stimulus."

WAKE UP AMERICA!!

OBAMA is no different than the 911 HIGHJACKERS.....he's a MUSLIM TERRORIST who has Highjacked the government and is flying the FIFTH AIRPLANE into our economy.

DOWN WITH OBAMA NOW!!

#1 MUSLIM TERRORIST!!

Did you forget the /s after, "That's an insult to Muslim Terrorists?" Or are you apologizing for rag heads?

Furthermore, I don't take back what I posted!
