Obama's Loose Grip On reality
Washington Times ^ | January 26, 2019 | Editorial Staff

Posted on 01/26/2010 6:31:59 PM PST by raptor22

President Obama's response to the catastrophic political failures of his freshman year in office is to fight harder for more of the same. Presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett made the point explicitly on Sunday, asserting that the White House is "not hitting a reset button at all." That reflects the kind of political savvy that handed the safest Democratic Senate seat in America to a Republican.

Mr. Obama seems unaware that he is part of the problem. The president credited Scott Brown's historic Senate-race victory in Massachusetts last week to the same voter frustration that swept him into office in 2008. The glitch in that worldview is that Mr. Brown ran explicitly against the Obama agenda.

When you are standing in a hole, grab a shovel and dig it deeper.

Wow! This editorial really needs to be read in its entirety. It is one devastating and true zinger after another.

I hope Rush leads with this tomorrow and reads every word over the airwaves.

Obambi just keeps getting spookier and spookier. If he goes insane, how will we ever know?

Sorry. You HAVE TO HAVE A GRIP TO LOSE IT! This idiot never had a grip on reality. He lives with his head up his @$$ and thinks what he sees up there is life in America.

I know this seems like insanity...

BUT

Here is what is happening..

Obama is betting the farm, doubling down, ect... hoping that the economy will eventually get better and that his liberal policies get the credit.

In other words he is hoping to repeat what Reagan did, but with liberal policies.

The irony is... if and it's a big IF the economy does eventually turn around ... it will be in spite of everything that he has done... but that wont matter to the voters, they will rewards those in power.

Last paragraph from the article:
Mr. Obama is in a state of denial. His party's losses in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts all sent the message that the American people want the party in power to govern more wisely. For the time being, Democrats still enjoy substantial margins in both houses, but their agenda is stalled because it's painfully out of step with what the country wants. Mr. Obama pledges to keep on fighting, but pushing harder for ruinously bad policies is not populism; it is political suicide.
Wow, that last sentence is a winner.

This guy lives in a parallel subterranean universe. “Reality” there is precisely 180 degrees out of phase with reality in the real world the rest of us inhabit.

It shouldn’t - but it did....cause it really isn’t funny...just, as you say, scary.

Wonder what the odds are that he will be escorted out of the White House by the men in the little white coats.....

Obama/Axelrod’s epic misreading of the popular sentiment will be studied for years to come...

That is, unless the Islamists hand him his too-big-to-fail crisis and kill us all...
