With each day, 60,000 gallons gush into the Gulf, Obama's equivalent of the body count in Iraq that caused the left to loathe George W. Bush. Rhetoric or programs or visits to the Gulf or posturing won't assuage the negatives. Only plugging the hole in the bottom of the ocean can do it.
The right and center of American politics turned off Obama over healthcare. And now the left is leaving him over the oil spill.
Why can't Obama plug the hole?
Because he has no administrative experience. I often saw Bill Clinton, as governor and as president, call in experts and ask the tough questions when he faced a new disaster. In Arkansas, it was tornadoes or floods or fires. In Washington, it was Oklahoma City.
But, each time, Clinton thoroughly familiarized himself with all the technical issues. He took a bath in the science and substance of the hazard and became as knowledgeable as those who had spent a lifetime studying it. So he knew what questions to ask.
Any CEO or COO or manager has similar experience. But a community organizer, law professor, state senator, U.S. senator, and president doesn't have the requisite experience. He doesn't know not to trust his own bureaucracy. He hasn't been burned enough to realize that he needs to intervene to waive restrictions, set aside regulations, and open up the process to new solutions.

Why do you think it takes oZero so long to finally answer to a difficult situation?
He has to check what Georgie wants him to say.
The Republicans, if they get control of Congress take take one of three routes:
They can try to meet Obama in the middle.
They can just resist Obama's initiatives and allow the press to paint them as obstructionists.
Or, they can propose boatloads of legislation, from health care to real world deficit reduction and job creation and force Obama veto them.
If they go the first route, the Republican party is finished. If the go the second route, Obama may very well win reelection. The third route will be the key to success.
Which way will the Republicans take?
The Republican can go over to the middle to meet Obama but he won’t anywhere near.

LOL...is that a trick question?
Seriously, the answer should be obvious but never underestimate the ability of the GOP leadership to screw it up.
“Lets see how he handles a defiant congress, one that doesnt worship his marxist doctrine.”
I pray this is the case, provided they don’t drink the D.C. water (or whatever it is that emasculates and neutralizes Conservatives that go there). And I’m tired of the Republican leadership whipping anyone into line who dares act like anything other than a limp-wristed pansy. All this “reaching across the aisle” mumbo-jumbo hasn’t done much for us, has it!
“Or, they can propose boatloads of legislation, from health care to real world deficit reduction and job creation and force Obama veto them.

I’ve come to this conclusion myself. Propose, propose, propose, and then show how it’s the DEMS who are the obstructionists. The Repubs have some great health-care reform ideas, but they were barely publicized.
The housekeeper never needs to vacuum behind the desk in the oval office. No one is ever there. I bet Barry will be going on vacation soon. It’s been a few weeks hasn’t it?
I think O'Bozo always runs to David Axelrod and he is really running the country.
And I think the First Clydesdale makes some decisions.
Of course, Axelrod has to ask George. That's why it takes forever for some decision.
Bush’s compassionate conservatism?
I give up.
WTH is “toe sex”?
Revelation appears to suggest that the earthly rule of the antichrist will be accompanied by a single one-world religion under which there will be a temporary peace. Since we know how Islam doesn’t play well with others once it seizes control of a country or feels world domination aspirations, this is going to have to be a supernatural influence superior to “Allah.” This is a tall, tall order, one which Obama does not (yet) appear anywhere close to being inspired to.
But, but...islam means "peace"!;-)
I give up.

Dick Morris was right up there with James Carville in ‘all things Clinton’, part of the gatekeeper crowd. Apparently Hillary didn’t appreciate Morris so....then Morris became the ‘darling’ of the right because he ‘supposedly’ had an inside track to the White House.
Which is probably true, but I guess he fed the Hannity’s etc with enough ‘scoop’ he became a ‘regular contributor’.
The story goes that while bclinton was being serviced under his desk, morris was on the phone with him in bed in LA with a ‘honey’ and apparently there was some toe sucking going on....
Real nice, adult behavior....etc...
Eeeeeeeeewwwwwwww!
True.

Two years later, he'll use it as a campaign slogan he'll say I told you so. He and Soros have this all planned.
