If I were Bill Daley, the new White House chief of staff, my first act would be to surgically attach a teleprompter to Chairman Obama. It's pretty obvious that our Dear Leader is helpless without one, since he's almost as gaffe-prone as Joe Bite Me. Every time Obama goes off 'prompter, another FUBAR moment occurs. (Like getting outed as a socialist by a plumber, calling cops stupid, calling Republicans hostage takers, just to name a few public relations disasters.) I'd call the Failed Messiah an empty suit, but that would be unfair to empty suits the world over. (They might even get 400 pseudo-rabbis to sign a letter condemning me if I'm not careful.)
I'll just keep calling Obama what I've called him since 2008: A blithering idiot.
Now, I know I'm not being civil. I know talk like that might be considered "hate" (Isn't that right, House MINORITY Leader Pelosi ?) and it could very well mean a one way trip to the Ministry of Love for "reeducation". Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. The truth is the truth, regardless of how ugly it is. Barack Obama is a blithering idiot.
Unlike the fired Keith Olbermann, I don't bloviate just to hear myself bloviate. Let's take a look at Chairman Obama's Super Bowl interview with Bill O'Reilly for a sterling example of His Chairmanship's lack of mental agility.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O’REILLY: Here’s what the Wall Street Journal said, I want you to react to this. Mr. Obama is a determined man of the left whose goal is to redistribute much larger levels of income across society. He may give tactical ground when he has to, as he did on taxes to avoid a middleclass tax increase, but he will resist to his last day any major changes to Obamacare and the other load-bearing walls of the entitlement state. This is The Wall Street Journal you know painting you as prettyleft-wing guy. Are you going to go along?
OBAMA: Well, the Wall Street Journal probably would paint you as a left-wing guy. I mean, if you’re talking about the Wall Street Journal editorial page…
O’REILLY: I’ve got to tell you, that’s what this is.
OBAMA: You know, that’s like quoting the New York Times editorial…
O’REILLY: Do you deny the assessment? Do you deny that you are a man who wants to redistribute wealth ?
OBAMA: Absolutely.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now of course, I could point out the obvious and bring up Chairman Obama's unfortunate (for him) encounter with Joe the Plumber, but that would be far too easy, like shooting paralyzed fish in a barrel. (Am I still allowed to say that ? Is that OK, CNN ?) Besides, that's soooo 2008. Several moments later, the Alinskyite Prime said this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O’REILLY: But the entitlements that you championed do redistribute wealth in the sense that they provide insurance coverage for 40 million people that don’t have it.
OBAMA: What is absolutely true is I think in this country, there’s no reason why, if you get sick you should go bankrupt. The notion that that’s a radical principle, I don’t think the majority of people would agree with you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Totally unrelated comment: That's twice Obama has said the word "absolutely" without its partner word "Nobama". A plug would be nice, Mr. President!]
Now call me crazy and off my meds, but isn't saying "What is absolutely true is I think in this country, there’s no reason why, if you get sick you should go bankrupt" a call for the redistribution of wealth ? Is that not what a "determined man of the left" would say ? Doesn't that little comment sound like this famous quote, from another "determined man of the left" ?

If the Republican party can't beat this dunce in 2012 they should just hang it up. I'm not joking.
God help us all.

Thank you! You are way too kind to my amateurish scribbling.
I don’t see any indication the Dems are ready to throw Obama under the bus or that they even fully understand the message Americans were sending at mid-terms.
If they did get it, the Obamacare repeal may not have made it through the Senate but more Dems would have voted for it.
No, the Dems believe they have enough control over the message Americans are hearing and have enough of their people in the judiciary to stop the States from nullification/10th amendment protections. They will go willingly go down with the ship but only if Americans send out the middle that ultimately sinks it.
Wow, sorry about the typos above. I meant

I met Allen West at a Tea Party. It was like meeting Captain America.
Perhaps the title should have been: Further Confirmation Obama is a Blithering Idiot. Strange to think that he might be re-elected.
Not necessarily. Obama could make the case that what he meant was that proper "restructuring" and management of health care could lower the overall cost to the consumer. Nowhere in that statement does he state or even imply that in order to lower costs, there must be redistribution of wealth. The fact is that costs could be lower, but only by removing government involvement, not by adding it, as ObamaCare would.
Yeah. Like I said earlier, I was fighting writer’s block when I came up with the title.
That’s not what Obama meant. He’s a socialist, plain and simple.
