I just think that the talking heads, all of them, that they just do see it yet. They are all asking themselves if Obama has heard the message sent to him from this election. They are waiting for him to get it. Only they don't get it themselves. Some are asking if he is an ideologue.
Here is what they are missing in all this. I decided to help them by creating the news right here in this forum. It's needed because they just don't get it yet. They have forgotten that Obama is a true student of Saul Alinski. Obama is just acting out of the original plan. All he is doing is dancing around the "push-back." He's expected a reaction to his push toward his progressive changes. He thinks that we are idiots that need to be herded like cattle. It was expected all along that he would need to continue on his goal transform America. He can't see the American people's reaction to his transformation other than an expected push-back.
Now if you are in the media, wrap your head around that and say something. It's you that needs to see what all this means.
Obama is just acting out of the original plan.A guy in germany did that once didn’t pan out for anybody.
Would it not be easier to list the things that the Obamaloon does get?
That shortens things to a list consisting of the null set.
I hope what I’m about to post isn’t too far off the subject of your thread but I just heard Larry Kudlow on ABC news and normally I like him but he was just so daft and so stupid on what Palin said regarding Reagan and “Bedtime for Bonzo” in response to a question put to her regarding Rove calling her “reality show” a disqualifier for her presidential ambitions.
It was very clear what Palin meant when she said what she said, and a couple of callers called up and very clearly explained to Kudlow what Palin very clearly meant... and he still didn’t get it.
He said he would wait for further “expansion of the remarks” or something like that, from Palin.
Kudlow, normally bright, was suddenly the dumbest dork on the planet.
What happens to these schmucks? Sometimes they just don’t WANT to get it!
That’s ABC Talk Radio... not ABC News. I mistyped.
good post
Democrats are the party of I Don’t Get It.
I learned years ago that liberals think emotionally and not linearly, so each defeat angers them and they make hasty wrong conclusions. They also choose to live in their liberal bubble and so they don’t know any conservatives. When a lib loses some power, they can’t even fathom that THEY might have slipped up or over-reached. It’s like trying to reason with fifth graders.
I don’t think either party feels the pulse of the nation...or maybe the people don’t get it...i’m not sure...i know i am always right! ;)
I think that Obama doesn’t get it, because in his mind, it’s so obvious that Obamacare and socialism are what is needed to cure all of the ills of society. And in his mind, anyone who doesn’t agree is not thinking straight, or not thinking clearly due to fear about the future, or clinging to a gun or religion due to their fears.
In the liberal mind, their policies are the only reasonable possible solution to society’s problems. Anyone who doesn’t get it is either uneducated, in which case the liberal feels pity for him/her, or else opponents are just not thinking through the issues properly to come to the conclusion that liberalism is the answer to all problems.

I think its time for all of us to face the fact...obama and the Deomcrats hate the USA. No other explaination needed.
The “lamestream media” has no chance of getting it, that Obama is a pragmatic progressive trained in the community organizing tactics and the Saul Alinksy style. But I do expect those of the new media to get with it sometime soon. They should at least be looking for the next possible move.
The idea is to feed off the responsible productive individuals of our society, and drain them dry. And this can include a wide constituency, from public unions, to illegal immigrants, to lying politicians, to corrupt corporations, to just plain selfish lazy citizens.
The Soviet Union, like any Communistic entity, collapsed from a totally parasitic citizenry. Think Goldman-Sachs, Maddoff, etc.
Not that the establishment Republican Party will ever declare it. Thus the Tea Party.

I’ve been wondering for two years now if the media libs have been deceiving themselves or are mostly true believers who know what he’s doing and want him to take down the country?
When Jonah Goldberg published his masterpiece: “Liberal Fascism” he noted that very few liberals know the long, intertwined history of fascism/marxism/communism and its American offshoot of progressivism/liberalism/leftism; and what the real objectives and motivations of the puppet masters and their hardcore followers really are.
Most libs are raised and trained to believe a vague stew of warm, fuzzy precepts and fashionable prejudices and worship a few trendy causes. Almost none of them ever take the time to think through or seriously study the history of “the movement” and its ultimate objectives and what that would mean to all Americans if the real radicals got their way.
I don’t think most of them wanted to think in their heart of hearts that Obama really means to demolish this country and beggar us all. They keep thinking that he’s a conventional politician who will adapt to the changing circumstances. The worse things get the more libs realize they don’t live on another planet after all. In Obama’s ideal America there’s no place for independent journalists, unions, NGO’s, charities, lawyers or an entertainment industry.
Quite a few have already found out that their professions are not “recession-proof” after all. Recall actor Michael Douglas revealing in an interview for the new “Wall Street” movie that he had lost about 40% of the value of his investment portfolio? Already, a whole slew of fashionably leftist CEOs have found out the hard way that they cannot buy immunity from their hip, cool president and that buying a “seat at the table” does not prevent them from becoming an entree.
“I think its time for all of us to face the fact...obama and the Deomcrats hate the USA. No other explaination needed.”
I disagree with that. They would love to transform America. It’s just like Michelle Obama said: “For the First Time in My Adult Lifetime, I’m Really Proud of My Country”
They just don’t like it the way it is. They will love it if they can change it into a progressive utopia.
In their mind it is okay to commit any wrong as long as you did so by error.
This way of thinking opens the door to all kinds of willful abuse and then later claim the defense of a bungling idiot.
Obama is currently using this as a historic defense for destroying America through bad economic policy.
Obama hates America and wants to bring her down. But once having done that Obama will never brag about it or admit it.
“Not that the establishment Republican Party will ever declare it. Thus the Tea Party.”
Just remember this. The Tea Party loves what Ronald Reagan did. Reagan was the head of the establishment Republican Party. We are molding the true conservatives to act like a responsible solution, where “government is the problem.” The new Republicans are the answer to the “yes we can” crowds.
Spot on “Almost none of them ever take the time to think”
That is why so many of them try to talk over you when they get questioned about their ideas with no proof.
You too? I thought I was the only one!
“In their mind it is okay to commit any wrong as long as you did so by error.”
Nothing stops them from believing in their sacred Keynesian philosophy.
I just saw and heard Edward G. Rendell say that we need to spend more on more stimulus spending efforts. He believes that it failed because we didn’t spend enough. He actually believes it too. Why do Republicans only get to fix the mistakes of these harebrained thinkers? We never get to get them off our backs. They always push their progressive agenda during prosperity. We always end up holding the bag. When will we go far enough to end their Utopian plans? When will America gain a basic understanding of these Utopian plans?
