Good points! A mindless teenage mentality rules over the government, to hell with the country - do what makes you “feel good”.

I agree with most everything you say except I don’t see the state sponsored media turning on him. They will continue to prop him up.

Europeon and Asian media may turn on him though. They are going to want blood for their failing economies. Time will tell.

“He was elected pure and simple because he's black and because the republicans put up a weak candidate. “

True.

He was also elected because he had a “presence” McCain lacked.

AND because the preceding GOP President was basically incompetent as was and still is, the GOP leadership.

The GOP will NEVER take back Congress and the White House, REGARDLESS of how poorly the Dems and Obama perform as long as they present themselves as “Democrat Light” and fail to represent the conservative views of the base of their constituencies.

The GOP needs a “rebirth” with respect to traditional American values, Conservative Principles, and Constitutional Orthodoxy.

And as long as it has pre-extinction dinosaurs like Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Grassley, Hatch, Snowe, Collins, Graham and McCain as spokespersons, it is incapable of confronting the Dems. Either the forgoing are totally incompetent or philosophically in bed with the Democrats.

FDR was equally as evil as LBJ....perhaps even more so.

We're still in Iraq. Gitmo is still open. Wiretapping calls from foreign sources is still in effect. The Patriot act is still in effect....all the anti-Bush boogeyman subjects are still there after 6 months, yet not a peep from the MSM. When's the last time you heard an Iraq body count?

All great topics for the townhall meetings. Maybe conservatives ought to ratchet up noise on these issues to rile Obama's base against him...

In the meantime their ratings continue to decline.
I think that will be what eventually hits them is the bottom dollar, but i could be wrong. As they see Fox continue to grow, the wise ones will want to get on the band wagon. And Fox isn’t that conservative!

The MSM will protect this guy no matter what. They supported him in the election and they are invested in him and his policies, especially the NBC/GE folks. If his approval rating is 39% the PMSNBC types will still defend him.

It kills me how he never looks straight on , i guess it is the teleprompter he has to look at side to side. And that phony semi country talk he does is so disgusting.
And those hand gestures. good grief.

For a while I counted how fast he head switched side to side.
It used to be about 16 to 18 times a minute.
I’ll have to do that again and see if he’s changed over time.
