Dreaming of a Superhero - Even Maureen Dowd has turned against Obama
The New York Times ^ | 6/2/2012 | Maureen Dowd

ON Friday night, the nation’s capital was under a tornado watch. And that was the best thing that happened to the White House all week.

As the president was being slapped by Mitt Romney for being too weak on national security, he was being rapped by a Times editorial for being too aggressive on national security.

A Times article by Jo Becker and Scott Shane revealed that the liberal law professor who campaigned against torture and the Iraq war now personally makes the final decisions on the “kill list,” targets for drone strikes. “A unilateral campaign of death is untenable,” the editorial asserted.

On Thursday, Bill Clinton once more telegraphed that he considers Obama a lightweight who should not have bested his wife. Bluntly contradicting the Obama campaign theme that Romney is a heartless corporate raider, Clinton told CNN that the Republican’s record at Bain was “sterling.”

Who’s she going to vote for in 2012?

That’s right.

She can keep her idiot column.

A Dowd excerpt is plenty enough for me.

The Democrats have the most amazing party discipline. That so many are now turning against Obama can only be described as racism.

(LOL - How do they like that one!)

Just dang.

What a scathing piece. In the NYT none the less. Conclusion is we have an underdeveloped adult in the White House on some sort of vision quest and he has failed.

I believe they think Romney will win and are on the lamb to get on his good side.
The claim that Clintoon made last week really got me thinking-WTF are they doing?

They’d sooner play with a liberal in the White House than a full blown loony idiotic Commie that will end up in a mental institution.

The Media hasn’t quite gotten around to the realization that the guy supported is a real life Chauncey Gardner...

And these people quoted in the article as well as Ms. Dowd don’t seem to have any problem with electing someone who—in their own words—sees himself as Superman.

Another inference would be Warren Harding: tall, dark and handsome, he seemed “presidential”, but turned out to be clueless, and a complete embarrassment to the party fathers who hand-selected him.

History repeats...
