Republican tax-cut fetishists

Yes, those people who want to allow us to keep the money we make while DC throws money into the wind. What weirdos!

(Yes, that’s the same Taliban that was allowed to regenerate by bumbling Republican leaders.)

The New York Times never gave Bush any credit for destroying the Taliban in the first place, so how could they have regenerated?

“I don’t mind you driving the bus over me, but I don’t appreciate your backing it up and running over me again and again.”

So, this explains her brain damage. I'm sorry to her about this horrible accident, accident and accident.

What does this article mean in the scope of things? It seems weird that she would already start bashing Obama.

Isn’t Dowd a fan of both Clintons? It’s interesting that even a leftist liberal such as she can see how pork-laden Obama’s Honeymoon-killer Bill is.

Bottom line of the article: Obama is too emotionally weak to handle the challenges of the office (let alone be a skilled and perceptive leader). He will tank.

I forsee a breakdown as his critics become more numerous than the numbers of adoring press writers he had in his pocket during the campaign. Obama is a man of no substance. He might have been able to be crafty when protected by those who blessed his every word. Like the bully gang leader. But in the "aloneness" of the office while the world watches every move he makes, Obama will be unable to function without his daily dose of the narcissistic supply sources that fed his ego and protected him from being exposed while campaigning.

I think he will come to find the WH a prison and his role as POTUS as a burden he cannot endure. He will try to evoke pity for himself first, telling the world what a "hard job" he has, etc. Hoping that his legions of followers who once adored him will continue to give him a pass. But, his lack of quality, honor, dignity, and mostly strength of character will become so obvious to those who expect more from a POTUS than someone who has the weaknesses of an ordinary man, I predict, will cause him to be one of the lonliest and most unsuccessful Presidents in history.

Without having a daily dose of hearing that he is "the hope we have been waiting for," Obama will suffer withdrawl symptoms. He is the president who was addicted to adoration...not one who loved his country and wanted to serve it and protect it. When the drug of adoration he depended on is gone, and his power to excite the masses has dwindled, Obama will be forced to face the truth about his ineptness. And like all narcissists who rely on spoofing and frauding those he brings into the fog of his world, he just "can't handle the truth," that he isn't what others made this pretender out to be.
