Obama warns GOP: 'I politic pretty good'

Speaking in Texas, President Obama today continued to ramp up his political rhetoric while also explaining what is seen as a new strategy based on attacking his predecessor -- and the state's former governor -- George W. Bush.

Without naming Bush specifically, Obama said at an Austin fundraiser that he's drawing attention to the previous administration "because the other side isn't offering anything new."

"They are trotting out the exact same ideas that got us into this mess in the first place," he said. "Their big economic plan is to renew the tax cuts that helped to turn the surplus into a deficit ... and once you get past that they don't have another new idea."

Obama accused Republicans of a "fundamental lack of seriousness" in the past year and a half, only politicking while Democrats have been making tough decisions to save the nation's economy. But now, Obama said he was ready to engage in the campaign with them.

"We've got three months to go, so we figure we can politic for three months. They've forgotten I politic pretty good," he said. "I'm happy to have this debate over the next several months about what their vision of the future is, because they don't have one."

I think slick Willie was a better liar; however, the Messiah has lying built into his religion.

The difference is that Slick Willy did not believe his own lies as 0bama does.

This is the difference between a pathological liar and a Malignant Narcissist.

When you get so good at telling lies, you believe them yourself, the potential for true evil is limited only by the power you are allowed to have.

And 0 has way too much power and the evil is only beginning.

I fear the real evil will show it's head soon.

“I politic pretty good.”

No. He doesn’t.

The weird thing to me is that Obama probably still thinks it matters what he says. Anyone with a lick of sense who may have paid attention to what he said during the first few months in office immediately realized that everything he said was either a total lie, partisan BS, or both, and has therefore subsequently tuned him out altogether. People like me, for example.

So I suppose he can blather on in a lackluster fashion with all of his partisan election rhetoric, desperately pretending like he’s trying to help the Rats out of the mess he deliberately lead them into in the first place by attacking the Pubs, etc., but quite frankly, it’s all just so much Sturm und Drang.

And the worst part about it is he isn’t even entertaining. Obama doesn’t seem to have a clue about how to put on a decent Dog and Pony Show, which is kind of weird, because the press built up his pre-election speeches as if he was some kind of latter day messiah that could sway the masses with his charisma, and cause loaves and fishes to flow forth.

Perhaps his handlers are no longer allowing him such a large dose of performance enhancing substances as before, or maybe his spring is just winding down and no one has bothered to wind him back up.

I'm sure the leftists will make the 2012 election a referendum on the war. /sarc

Seriously, he doesn't need to "politic" -- he's got the entire "news" media working 24-7 to promote him and his agenda. Of course, after he has become president for life, he'll have no further need of them, and it'll be off to the camps with the lot of them.

A bunch of RINOs in Congress were real hot to compromise with him. He's the one who wasn't serious about it.
