I watched this whole thing, and I thought Cantor’s answer was quite fair. Elected leaders of the House can’t get caught saying they want this guy to fail. Most of Cantor’s comments were good. He should be stronger on how bad the Obama plan is for America. Attack the plans, not the man.
As someone else said here, the poll shown (ABC news), showing that 61% think Obama is working with the other side is incredible. We are dealing with pure ignorance out there right now. We need some strong leaders asap to start impacting public opinion. Cantor and the House leadership is operating well in Washington right now, but someone needs to get into a position to start speaking out to the people and stop this tide of public opinion. It has to be someone big time, too. To get through this media blockade is going to be a real challenge, and it will take a big personality to do it.
great post.
People are being propagandized from every corner of the mainstream media. They believe Obama is "reaching out" to Republicans because Democrats in the media tell them he is. At the same time, they either portray Republicans in the worst possible light or completely ignore them.
They don’t have to say they want Obama to fail. It is an opening they don’t take advantage of to lay out why Obama’s policies are bad for America and those policies must fail for America to succeed.
And why the hell not? It's better they want barrys socialism to be successful? Really?
Agreed. At this point in time, we won't gain any traction by attacking Obama. He's too popular and most people just aren't capable of thinking rationally. Don't forget that the IQ bell curve has an upper half and a lower half. Even with that, some people with high IQs are just plain dumb when it comes to understanding the real world.Attack the plans, point out the flaws, point how these actions have always failed in the past, and people might understand. When the economy continues to tank, and we will be able to say "I told you so." When Obama becomes unpopular -- and he will within the next two years -- then it's okay to attack him directly.
