- Obama believes he'd got the better of Romney as he walked off stage to the dismay of his aides, according to a Democrat close to the campaign - The President failed to prepare properly, opting instead to visit the Hoover Dam the day before the showdown - Democrat claims he was so disdainful of Romney that he didn't think he needed to even engage with him - Had one-liners on 47% prepared but chose not to use them watching his debate against Mitt Romney already knew it had been a disaster for him. But what nobody knew, until now,...

Many of President Obama’s fervent devotees are young enough not to have much memory of the political world before the arrival of The One. Coincidentally, Obama himself feels the same way—and the White House’s official website reflects that.

This is the ultimate in narcissism. Obama, commenting upon his sudden public approval of gay marriage, was just shown stating that he couldn't stand the idea of soldiers and sailors out there fighting on HIS behalf when they were not free to be in gay relationships. Forget the gay marriage issue. Our military is fighting on HIS behalf?

JAY CARNEY, WH Press Secretary: "They don't give a lick about the day and time: ED HENRY, FOX News: "Why doesn't he give a speech from the oval office tonight saying here's my plan?" CARNEY: "He wants to speak before Congress because he recognizes that while there are things he can do without Congress, and he will do them, there are actions that need to be taken with Congress that require legislation to grow the economy and create jobs. And he wants to go to Congress, speak directly to members of Congress, and layout his proposals."

CNBC just broke in and told the audience that the President has requested airtime and will speak to the nation at 1300hrs EST (12 noon central, 10 AM PST) on the US national debt downgrade.Developing...

Not long ago Barack Obama, for those who were spellbound by him, had the stylishness of JFK and the historic mission of FDR riding to the nation's rescue. Now it is to Lyndon B. Johnson's unhappy presidency that Democratic strategist Robert Shrum compares the stewardship of Mr. Obama. Johnson, wrote Mr. Shrum in the Week magazine last month, never "sustained an emotional link with the American people" and chose to escalate a war that "forced his abdication as president." A broken link with the public, and a war in Afghanistan he neither embraces and sells to his party nor abandons—this...

Obama gave a 70 minutes-long boring speech. The speech was about him: he mentioned the words "I," "me," and "my" more than 100 times. [President Bush said "I" only 21 times during his first State of the Union Address.] He talked about the "deficit of trust:" "We face a deficit of trust -– deep and corrosive doubts about how Washington works that have been growing for years. To close that credibility gap we have to take action on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue -- to end the outsized influence of lobbyists; to do our work openly; to give our people...

Further illustrating his own love affair with himself, consider how Obama managed to turn the Scott Brown Massachusetts victory into yet another precious “it’s all about me” moment. Before the election, Obama, in a statement reminiscent of his “bitter clingers” remark in San Francisco during the 2008 election, derided Brown’s use of his (government-owned GMC) truck during his campaign. “Forget the truck. Everybody can buy a truck!” (Have you seen those unemployment numbers, Barry?) Yes, Barry, Republican Scott Brown swept to victory on a tide of anger directed at George W. Bush, despite the fact that Bush has been out...

A good example of where President Obama's mind is focused can be shown by his recent "jobs", speech given on January 22. (SHORT VIDEO)

WASHINGTON — Around the United States, Americans are shaking furiously ahead of President Barack Obama's first State of the Union address Wednesday. But they're not trembling in fear, anger or anticipation: they're using cocktail shakers to get ready for the State of the Union drinking game. Invented in 2002 by Marc Mezler and Howard Deutsch when they were students at Princeton University, the basic rules of the game require players to down a shot or chug a beer when the president says certain words or phrases, or speaks the names of people or countries during the key speech. This year,...

Here is a video from Americans for Prosperity that counts the number of times President Obama mentioned himself in a recent "Jobs" Speech he delivered in Ohio. The number - 132 times! This despite the fact that in the speech, he actually said, "It's not about me." They also counted the number of times he mentioned "taxpayers" - 2; "Tax Cuts" - 2; "Small Business" - 8. . . . (VIDEO)

Whew. This dude needs a reality check - and it's coming: But the jaw-dropper is Berry's claim that President Obama personally dismissed any comparison between Democrats now and under Bill Clinton 16 years ago -- by saying his personal popularity would bail everybody out.

He already wanted to tax the banks for having the temerity to turn a profit with the bailout money (wasn't that the point, to get the banks into the black again?), so the new plan to break up the banks is not different in kind. What IS different is the atmospherics. The move, immediately after Obama's election defeat in Massachusetts, seems to have been very sudden, catching even his closest allies by surprise. With no warning, the previously "indispensable" Timmy-boy Geithner was cast aside in favor of the Depression-era nostrums of Paul Volker. Obama didn't even take the time to...

Populist or professor? Contrite or uncompromising? President Obama will have a chance Wednesday to reintroduce himself to the nation when he delivers his first official State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress. The prime-time speech, which will be aired on all major TV networks and cable stations, could hardly come at a more critical time for a president grappling with double-digit unemployment, sinking poll numbers and the possible collapse of his top domestic policy priority, an overhaul of the nation's health-care system. "As often as the president has spoken over the past year, critics on the...

Meet the Obama whiners. “They did it” is the new administration’s credo when things go wrong. Most often, the culprit for disappointment in Obama’s hope-and-change agenda remains George W. Bush — a sort of modern-day fallen angel Azael, whose wickedness is persistent and omnipresent. Nine months after his departure, the former president insidiously still has his hand in almost everything that seems to plague Barack Obama’s utopian plans. At other times “the Republicans,” “the far Right,” “conservatives,” or even the “mob” have kept America from getting the future it deserves. One would never guess that the Democrats have held the...

On "This Week," George Will says that the Obamas' trip to Copenhagen to try to land the Olympics for Chicago in 2016 was more about their ego than America. "The President and First Lady went to Copenhagen and gave speeches about themselves," Will said, breaking down the number of times they used the words "I" and "me" in their speeches. "It was all about them," he said, concluding that like "Honest Abe" and "Tricky Dick" before him, the President might go down in history as "Vain Barack."
