Those in Congress know that if they support this President, they will most likely lose their jobs. That’s one reason you don’t hear from them much concerning the election.
Only Nixon was ever more alone in the Oval Office than this Current Occupant. And it all began for Nixon with leaving out some important information he should have shared with the public much, much earlier on.
The Won has failed to share all kinds of information with the nation, his party, and even his close confidants in his immediate circle. A loose cannon that has broken free of its restraints, and now has swung around to point at some of its own stores of powder and shot, with the fuse burning.
If the curse was to be living in interesting times, then these must be very interesting times. For we are surely more cursed than at any period in recent memory.
The avalanche has already started. The best we may hope for is to not be in its direct path.
Obama doesn't really get traction until Ted Kennedy decides to endorse him and puts the whole "Kennedy wing" power behind him. Suddenly, Obama becomes some Kennedy-like "messiah" to the media and Hillary becomes old news.
The Clintons, always seeking power, settle for Secretary of State but have been laying in wait for their chance to push Obama out of the way and they now see their opportunity. Many of the Obama critics from the Democrat Party (though not all) have been Clinton cronies.
But you make a really good point that Obama has few friends. Very few people seem close or loyal to Obama the way Clinton has had loyalists.
I guess the true test of a messiah doesn't come until after the crucifixion. Somehow, I'm guessing Obama doesn't "rise again".
Bet the DNC still doesn’t get it,credentials count.
Reject Obama!
Unreadable scat.
That is a very insightful comment. You can think of politics -- at least Lyndon Johnson's sort of politics -- as anthropologists think of chiefdoms.
The chief ties followers to himself by redistributing wealth and positions. The big man's ability to bestow rewards on his followers makes them loyal to him.
A newcomer, who benefits from the efforts of others but doesn't give back is bound to have less support than an experienced hand who plays the game well.
He has friends. Ayers, Dorn, Wright, you know the cast. These people have been on the outside looking in for years. They are so radical that mainstream democrats wouldn’t allow them to publicly come out and play.
Less than 20 years after bombing the United States, Ayers and Dorn took in a young communist/Marxist from Hawaii and began grooming him for the presidency.
OUTSTANDING! Thanks.
“Obama has no roots in his own party. Like his Black friends say, “He was never there for the struggle,” and that applies more to the heavy democrat party lifting than the civil rights movement.”
Need more evidence?...
HOORAY Glenn Beck!
