Yeah, on second thought, you are right there about Kanye. Motion to appeal withdrawn for him then, lol.
Not that I suspect Professor Hanson of showing off.
Yep. That was my thought, too!
I'm one of those whom VDH sort of lost in the first sentence:
"No one imagined that Barack Obama, during his first nine months in office, would be falling in the polls even faster than George W. Bush did prior to 9/11."
The reason I expected, predicted, and posted that Obama would crash-and-burn pronto if he won the nomiation and became president, is precisely because ... The electorate also DIDN'T vote for a man who ...
He, like many urban Liberals, won by fraud. His popularity is as manufactured as his votes. It seemed a pretty good bet that he'd become "unpopular" quickly because he was never "popular." So yeah, I expected to see him falling in the polls a lot faster and worse than Dubya -- Dubya was actually elected!
The media and fraud can only make facades, and I guess they can only fake polls for so long; they can't fake the sentiments of live citizens, workers, producers, parents, and all of us, Democrats and Republicans, who make America work. We most of us rejected Obama -- it's why he had to cheat to win.

I always learn something from Professor Hanson.
Good catch. Thanks for pointing it out and sharing.
We must ENSURE that it does not work!
Remember, the primary goal of every elected politician is to get re-elected.
We must not re-elect any of the a$$holes who would destroy the greatest country in world history.
It is up to us to change the diaper in Washington, DC next November.
We are witnessing behavior that was predicted, if I remember correctly, before the election.
We must rid ourselves of all LIEberals and all RINOs in 2010.
I, for one, intend to stay pi$$ed off (and very active, politically) until we take America back!
Good news for you! We’re one-sixth of the way through his term. It only FEELs like 1%.
ping to BRILLANCE.
VDH was writing from the viewpoint of the millions of "moderates" and "independents" who invested their faith in what Obama appeared to them to be.
To them, Obama's rhetorical skills and seemingly judicious manner were "obvious strengths".
FWIW : Ain't too many O’Bammy bumper stickers left here...
"When the ahistorical president indulged in historical reference, the result was analogous to a George W. Bush offering tutorials on rhetoric and oratory."
As many times as I cringed while GWB at the microphone, VDH truly nailed this piece.
thanks for the ping.
BTTT!
Thanks for the ping!
Victor is clearly brilliant but ANYONE who took even a cursory glance at Obozo and the garbage he was dispensing BEFORE the election knew precisely what he was and where he would try to drag America.
Twenty-five paragraphs, two thousand words, much understatement and euphemism to say what we knew early last year.A closet Islamist and a blatant racist;
A stone-cold Commie in Alinsky's gramma's garb;
A textbook Marxist who in 1991 ripped our Constitution because it "doesn't go far enough to redistribute the wealth".
It was all there; every piece was laid out in plain sight.
There is no excuse for the opium-smoker vote for the Liar-in-Chief.
Except that the Democrat Party and its media fairies are the opiate of the people.
This man never had an original idea in his life. he is a sockpuppet who cannot even engage in normal discourse without sounding like a street stupid gangsta thug.
Remember how, when in Russiam he fled to the confines of his hotel rather than accept a dinner invitation. He did the same in Britain, and everywhere else he has ever gone. He hides when he is on his own because once he says what he has been programmed to say, he goes braindead.
Thank you! I am off to read it now.
