Aimless Obama walks alone
The New York Post ^ | 10/09/2011 | Michael Goodwin

The reports are not good, disturbing even. I have heard basically the same story four times in the last 10 days, and the people doing the talking are in New York and Washington and are spread across the political spectrum. The gist is this: President Obama has become a lone wolf, a stranger to his own government. He talks mostly, and sometimes only, to friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett and to David Axelrod, his political strategist. Everybody else, including members of his Cabinet, have little face time with him except for brief meetings that serve as photo ops.

Still, we don't know who he converses with on his Blackberry. It must be someone influential to him because he fought like hell to get the lawyers to let him keep it private. And he refuses any requests for records of communications on it.

“Obama is walking the halls of the White House late at night, talking to the portraits of former presidents...”

Please Obama, if you are going to channel a former President.....make it Reagan.

Mostly his puppet master Soros, or his ex-boyfriend Rahm.

Yes. Notice the long-awaited comparison to Richard Nixon in the depths of Watergate. This is just what they were saying about him then.

“Harvey Golub, former chairman of American Express, called the “jobs” bill an incoherent mess. Writing in The Wall Street Journal, he said that among other flaws, the bill includes an unheard of retroactive tax hike on the holders of municipal bonds.”

Priceless and perfectly illustrates the insanity of a Marxist ideologue named Barack Obama.

I was just going to say “another bunker UTUBE, but this one you won’t have to change the original dialogue much”. Keep pistols and cyanide away from the Fraudster.
