“When will they ever learn?”

“When will they evvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvver learn”?

You’re absolutely right. Either meeting God or in this life, the next 911 or epidemic.

I’ve posted this elsewhere, but there is something frighteningly destructive about his behavior. He doesn’t even pretend to care about the Presidency and what it means, and seems to want to do the maximum amount of damage in a limited amount of time.

I believe that he knows that at some point his birth certificate will be released and wants to destroy what he can while he has time.

He is governing exactly like who he is, an ACORN, Wright, Ayers radical leftist with nothing but contempt for our institutions and anyone who would oppose him.

I watched a small bit of it until that porker Roehmer opened her jowls.

Every time I see Rohmer, I'm reminded of "Aunt Clara" (actress Marion Lorne) from the old "Bewitched" TV series from the '60s

After we dispense with all the political analysis and all the shortcomings of the McCain campaign, I think Obama won because he is black.

You are absolutely right. So was Geraldine Ferraro when she said before the election that Obama wouldn't be where he is if he wasn't black.

Does no one think about their immortal souls, or do people just live for the here and now and not think through their decisions....I know....of course they don’t.

It takes guts, selflessness, and maturity (as well as spiritual insight) to vote the right way for the right reasons. What it will take to wake up the silent majority (if anything will at this point) is anyone's guess. I just hope it doesn't happen too late.

You make good points but really, any analysis of this administration is incomplete without pointing out that he’s a figurehead and we’re being ruled by Pelosi and Reid, mostly Pelosi. Obama is so weak even his own party recognizes he’s only an affirmative action hire.

...even those who most fervently supported Barack Obama are now beginning to express substantial doubts about his ability to govern...

I've been saying it for weeks.

The situation is: Obama is naive, inexperienced, and his ideas are down-right socialist and un-American. Furthermore, he is bound to "fail" by just about any objective measure you care to name.

The probable result is: "veteran" dems with more political savvy had to know this was going to happen too. They may have idiotic ideas about governing our Nation, but no-one ever said they were politically stupid. I have thought, basically since O was elected, that sooner or later the love-fest was going to end, and the 'rats were literally and figuratively going to abandon the ship.

Some are no-doubt already looking towards the 2010 elections, and preparing to campaign. They have got to walk a fine line - distance themselves from an administration that is a B grade disaster flick in the making...while not alienating the "faithful." I believe 2010 is going to be a good year/election for the GOP. I believe 2012 will be even better. By then Obama's failed policies will have shown the younger generation exactly what a recession is like, and exactly why we do not want big, obtrusive government. All you really need to do is point out to them - what if there were someone in control of the government with whom you completely disagreed? Would you want them having this much power over your life? The best government is the smallest government, period.

Gee, do you think maybe a little executive experience would’ve helped?

You know, maybe something like governor of a minor state, or even mayor of a small town or something?

But of course then we might not have had all the advantages that one gets from a “career” in community organizing.

Yep, and he's a leftist ideologue with a lot of half formed ideas, and Pelosi and Reid and other Dems are filling in the details so far. Never has such an unqualified and inexperienced person been nominated by a major party, let along elected president.

Hopefully, Republicans will begin to minimize the damage as more and more voters realize what a weak president and cabinet now occupy our highest offices.

White guilt put him in the White House. Many whites felt great voting for a black guy, and thought it said something great about them as individuals and about the country.

BINGO!

I spend a lot of time in Oregon which is 95% white. The self satisfaction (white guilt) of Obama support was, as an easterner, palpable and nauseating. But of course the Media effort of resentment against GWB also was a major factor. The supposed educated people in Oregon actually swallow the New York Times like candy.

This is REACTIONARY behavior. And the Left knows how to employ it.

Yes, but I remember the “Incredible Shrinking Presidency” Newsweek cover on Klintoon. But he still got through impeachment and served two terms.

And some of the most liberal states have the highest percentage white populations. And those states traditionally send some of the most liberal members of all to Congress. They can have their liberalism and eat it, too. They don't have to live it in their daily lives since their population lack the 'diversity' they claim to value so highly.

....and the more well off liberals I know are now showing some regret.

They liked all the socialist ideas of the Great “O”, but they didn't think he would really try and do them ALL in his first 100 days. I think they expected the Clinton approach of good speeches and no action.

Now they look at their investments and shake their heads.
