Obama is a colossal confluence of bad circumstances: 1) the first seemingly-so reasonable 'black candidate' who talked the right talk coupled with, 2) an MSM-fueled hatred and revenge-inspired vendetta against George Bush, and 3) a downright honest human desire to support the 'minority' in a pure guilt trip response. The only true cause is number 2. He is a fricking disaster and his legacy will ensure the American people don't make this frickin mistake ever again. That is, if he hasn't so totally consolidated his reign that he dispenses with elections alltogether.

You have it analyzed quite well.

I agree with your 2 and 3, but on your point 1, he must have been (or his campaign team) telling Wall Street one thing, because what he was saying on the campaign trail was, “We gotta take from some to help the rest,” or words to that effect.

In fact, part of the dismay Obama is having is that HE TOLD EVERYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN THAT HE WAS GOING TO DO ALL THAT HE HAS SO FAR. I’m sure he can’t figure that out. I’m sure he’s pissed at the left, because nobody’s ever gone that far left in his position before, and shouldn’t he get some credit for that?

The right he truly doesn’t care about. We’re not his people. He won.

That’s what’s so stupid about the premise of using the budget process to hammer the right leading up to the elections. Republicans are completely out of power. 50 votes in the Senate will do nicely, and they have that plus 9. They have plenty in the House too.

If I were McConnell, I’d tell the R’s ‘Vote your conscience on the budget’, knowing full well that Snowe and Collins are going to do whatever they want anyway. Brown’s an empty suit, which is sad in the same way Obama’s sad.

Brown is the right’s Obama. Finally put a Republican in that seat, and he’s not up to the job now that he’s there.

Too bad, really.
