The consensus was similar in an afternoon panel discussion on the decline of the American middle class. “He said jobs were going to be his No. 1 priority—there’s a huge disconnect between Washington and what’s going on out in the country,” nominal Obama supporter Arianna Huffington said. “The president’s economic team kept talking about a ‘cyclical’ problem. Larry Summers said jobs were a lagging economic indicator. All these things are simply wrong. The president put all his trust in the wrong economic team—an economic team that didn’t understand what was happening.”

November is going to be a blow out. I hope the Republicans know what to do with the power that is coming their way...

I’m not impressed with their late-coming awakening. All that could have been known about Obama was available prior to 11/4/08. These people brought this destruction upon the nation...and now they whine? They make me want to puke.

Intellectual morons. Anyone who voted for Obama is not smart, in fact, they are incredibly dumb, especially if they are rich. And you can’t get any more stupid than an old white male rich obama voter. Incredibly, I STILL see these fools with obama bumper stickers that say “old white guy for Obama.” LOL!

A more appropriate bumper would be “self immolater for Obama.”

As Lenin would say, the useful idiots among the bourgoise class have done their job, and now it’s time to sweep them away as history proceeds towards the communist utopia. Of course, they will establish the dictatorship of the proletariat before the state withers away, but first we need to get rid of the capitalists. Mort Zuckerman will no doubt be astonished when he’s served with the papers telling him to head for the showers, so to speak.

These same “elite” scumbags will do everything in their power to get Ubama re-elected.
Count on it.

Oh, he knew just what team to put his trust in. The decline is intentional. These fools think it's all a mistake. They are in for a rude awakening. 2011 is going to be a very bad year for this country. They "ain't seen nothing yet."

So this really is getting to me. These morons vote for this idiot and now they are complaining that the country is going to hell? And whose frickin’ fault is that? I want them to put up and shut up. They got what they wanted. Elections have consequences. Deal with it. I just wish that we conservatives were immune and impervious to this BS.

If they were as brilliant as they think they are, these “Intelligensia” would never have supported Hussein to begin with.

20% of US voters say they are Liberals, about 40% say they’re Conservative. So you can’t win unless you cater to the center, the independents who do not support the conservative line across every issue. Obama convinced the Indies that he was a centrist but has since moved hard to the left, and has lost them, as this article proves.

Reality wins elections, not ideology. What we need are conservative candidates that can pull Independents over, and win. That’s why we can’t be impervious to this stuff, if we can’t attract the support of independent voters, we’ll just remain in the minority, but right now the winds are in our favor, as even the elites are realizing Obama is governing against the will of the majority and they need to help fight and reverse this trend.

Simply the result of a cost-benefit analysis. When the cost of supporting the boy-president becomes too great, the wealthy will abandon him and, if it goes on long enough, will turn on him out of self-interest. Should be a lot of fun to watch.

They are nothing more than Bukharanite and Trotskyist useful tools. Stalin had no use for them once he used them. Obama has no use for them either. These people never learn..

Brolin’s assessment: “Mind-blowing.”

Bright lights? More like old rich hippies.

Does this mean there will be Congressional action on capital gains and inheritence taxes before the end of the year?

The new Republicans will change their spots a day after the election, and will continue to "reach across the aisle" and continue to support the destructive practices of the Left.
