"Nothing is worse for a president than a growing belief among the public that it has been had".
"...polls show they got the most polarizing president in recent history — both in his radical programs and in the manner in which he has demonized the opposition to ram them through without bipartisan support. “Punch back harder” has replaced “Yes, we can.”"
"When a once-eloquent president now goes off teleprompter, the question is not whether he will say something that is either untruthful or silly, but simply how many times he might do so at one outing. Some once worried that George W. Bush could not articulate our goals in Iraq; far more now sense that Obama is even less able to outline his own health-care reform."
"Press Secretary Robert Gibbs makes Scott McClellan sound like a Cicero by comparison".
"Offering left-wing populist sermonizing for others while enjoying the high life oneself is never a winning combination".
He’s on tv as much as that SHAM WOW guy. I prefer the Sham Wow guy as he is not as high pressure as Obama.
The party that couldn’t shoot straight.
Great column, but I think Mr. Hanson owes an apology to President Nixon’s family and the people of Pravda!
And if you buy a SHAM WOW you actually get something useful.
The DEMs own the WH, own the Senate, and own the House. Why do I have this gut feeling that this is far from over?
We could have told the public that it would be had. McCain was too meek.
It turns out the famous dem "young people" are paid to show up. Maureen Dowd's "young idealists" are really low paid street people and unemployed students... yeah, we're charmed.
“The DEMs own the WH, own the Senate, and own the House. Why do I have this gut feeling that this is far from over”?
Honestly I asked myself that back in 92 and look what happened.
LOL. I remember an old episode of the Andy Griffith Show. A snake-oil salesman comes to Mayberry. This shyster puts on a show in the middles of town and charms Aunt Bee into buying a few bottles of his potion. At home she starts tipping the bottle. Miracle of Miracles. It cures her rheumatism. She invites some of her lady friends over. They start drinking the concoction. Aunt Bee plays the piano while they start singing raucously. Andy finds out that the bottles are mostly alcohol. So he decides to teach Aunt Bee a lesson. He arrests all the ladies and locks them up in jail. When the ladies sober up, they leave the sheriff's office all a bit ashamed of their drinking party and all a lot wiser.
I think your are right. Some of the people who drank Obama's snake-oil are beginning to sober up.
Amateur hour
or the American people collectively lost there minds.
half of every graduation class, graduates at the bottom and they are running our country.
(Actually your cat owns you. You just don’t realize it.)
There is going to be more Sturm und Drang all right. But Obama can’t unjump the shark. Whatever the Rats try to do is virtually certain to go down in ignominy in 2010 and 2012.
Links to that episode please. Thats gotta be the funniest episode of Andy Griffith or Mayberry RFD ever made.
>half of every graduation class, graduates at the bottom and they are running our country.
That’s an insult to about 48% of the class below that average.
I have this on DVD, but I will see if I can find a link. I have to go to the store right now, but I will do some research tonight and see what I come up with.
He needs to gin up a crisis, a big crisis. Maybe he can talk Putin into invading Poland. Or get Chavez to invade Brazil.
