I am starting to disagree with this meme. I really think that this idiot has totally destroyed any good will he may have had. Even if we get a bump in the economy, which I think is impossible, people will be tired of his BS. I can't tell you how many people I run into in business who generally only talk about sports feel compelled to say something derogatory about this dope.
I just wish that we could do this Kabuki dance one more time before the election. Just look how Obummers numbers bottomed out on this. It would be a good thing.
I'm starting to think that this same Kabuki dance won't be done the same way if this deal being reported is the ral one because it looks like Hussein is deserting his left-wing base (except for demogoguing the gay issue which he will continue to do).
I'm starting to think he's going to go for the middle more now (the Triangulation MO a la Clinton) because he knows he can't get tax hikes, wildly increased spending, etc. any more. His only hope is to veer toward the center...completely contrary to his ideology but his only hope for re-election.
I agree.. The repubs picked a fighting point that Zero insisted upon, and was that this debt ceiling increase would take us through 2012...The main thing our side won,, and it was a HUGE win, was NO tax increases. In the meantime, Zero has done huge damage to his brand... the Obama dream brand... he is so over.. everyone including dems are sick to death of the guy.
Unless we see a miracle happen in the next year, he is toast.
The other thing to remember is the blasting cap called the Middle East. Iran gets closer to “The Bomb” and, thanks to our “friend” Outin, they have a reactor capable of large scale plutonium manufacture and a delivery system...so the trigger can be pulled at any time before Sept 11th (which I think will be the day to watch) which may make this all a very expensive moot point...
