Yep he taught America that the Kenya way is for dummies.
The most amusing political intervention of last week was from former president Jimmy Carter, who indignantly rejected the increasingly common charge that Obama is "as bad as Carter".
On only one occasion since 1896 has a party lost the White House after just four years. That was when Carter was defeated by Ronald Reagan in 1980.
With ACORN, “stimulous” money to throw around, redistricting and the census the boobOTUS could ALSO be a 2 termer or longer. At the rate he’s going in regard to blowing his nose on the constitution, I wouldn’t be surprised if he went 4 terms like FDR.
We the People are working hard to make it so. We want our country back.
Especially since he doesn't deserve to be there in the first place
This Brit is on target. That health care meeting was set up to make Obama look like the teacher and the others his underling students.
Haha, that's one way of putting it. Another way would be, "Even the most mind-numbed, red-diaper liberals are starting to realize that there's absolutely nothing behind the kenyan's slick eloquence, and that they were hoodwinked into voting for a corrupt, incompetent, neophyte marxist who lacks even basic social skills."

I have to disagree. Hundreds of millions of people have spent their adult lives in these places yet do not manifest anything close to his pathological narcissism. There is more to this than the cities where he lived, or even his three years at Havaaaaaaaaaaaard.
How different this is from the Joe Klein piece yesterday. Did they see the same meeting???
I think it’s a given that he’s a one-term president.
The real question is if he’s going to make it through his current term.
I’m predicting he’s gone after November. If the Dems are smart, they’ll find some way of getting rid of him BEFORE November.
I was struck by him deriding the Pubs showing the bill itself as a “prop”, and any objections to what was in it were “talking points”, that people are supposededly tired of hearing. Which was clearly a talking point he planned in advance to use as soon as any objections were raised. He had no problem though when the RATS filibusted with sob stories talking points about constitutents wearing their dead sisters’ dentures.
He had the chutzpah to tell the pubs that they should only talk about things they agree on, not what they disagree about, and that his time didn’t count towards equal time, cause he won the election for president. Finally, he called all the Pubs by their first names like children.
Newt Gingrich said the day before that the Pubs should demanded that there be equal time at the beginning, and if Obama said no, walk out en masse. He was right. They should not have put up with his smug power plays.
“...underlined the reality that Obama is not a leader or even really a politician – he is a professor.”
No. He is none of those things.
He is nothing more than a useful idiot, a communist rabble-rouser.
He is good only at exploiting the compassionate part of the system to destroy the entire system, bit by bit.
At best, he is like most other professors in this capacity.
America and the rest of the world better hope Obamao is only a one term president, providing he doesn’t try to turn it into a career dictatorship.
ZERO shows much more comfort with ignorant students teaching them the idiots guide to Alinsky.
More from it:
Again and again, he put Republicans down with sarcastic asides, berating them like naughty schoolboys for bringing in a copy of the 2,400-page Senate health bill as a "prop" and informing them of the need to "get our facts straight".
Typical Alinsky "Rules for Radicals" tactics, utilizing Rules 5 and 11
Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.
Professor Obama is convinced of his own intellectual superiority. When his pupils fail to realise that he knows what is good for them, he simply repeats himself in the expectation that the simpletons will eventually understand.
Although Obama graced the health-care summit with his characteristic silky eloquence, the event was both a sham and a failure. A sham because it wasn't a genuine stab at brokering a compromise between Democrats and Republicans but an attempt to portray Republicans as the block to "progress". A failure because Republicans defied expectations by presenting measured philosophical objections to the bill and outlining sensible alternative approaches.
Many of us warned the Republicans to boycott this sham:
Health Care Summit Rope-A-Dope
The Republican's did well and took the high road, while Obama and the Dems slivered like snakes through the dirt.
Final comment: Why do we have to seek out honest commentary such as this from the Brits? This is yet another example of the US MSM being in the tank for Obama!
We have to rely on Britain for the truth about our own friggin’ “summit!” Amazing.
I’m not confident he’ll be a single termer. When I listened to the CPAC meeting, I didn’t hear any of the speakers articulate a vision for the nation other than they don’t like Obama, Pelosi and Reid.
