Obama faces growing credibility crisis

Obama ever had any credibility?

[fhayek]

Astonishingly, 55 per cent of citizens think Mr Obama is a “socialist” against only 39 per cent who do not share that diagnosis

Why doesn't someone in the media simply ASK him if he is a socialist? Seems like it is a reasonable question to ask

[SorosOwnsObama]

Yes, people have translated his game book and know what The Great One really meant when he said he wanted to serve the American people:

The biggest liar in America loses a little credibility.

All this comes as a great shock!

Absolute Zero Kelvin- negative 459 Fahrenheit. (reminds me of a book I read 35 years ago.

Frozen in indecision without a consensus of academics to support his position. He got through school cleverly reflecting their opinions, having no value base of his own.

Unfortunately, these types just bounce ideas around a narrow group until they all huzzah. No one has an original thought, or one based on real-world experience.

Because he'd start out with "let...let me be perfectly clear" and then stutter his way into a response having nothing to do with the question that was asked. That itself would be an answer, I suppose.

After hearing more about black liberation theology on Glenn Beck's show today, I cannot even entertain the idea of B.O. spending 20 years listening to the steaming bile of "Reverend" Wright and having any love for capitalism left in him.

...starting to coming into question...

sorry that was distracting... let me get that for the 'journalists' at the FT...

I think that I could tell the general philosophy of a particular church if I attended as few as two services. If, for example, there was a subtle subtext of white supremacy, I am sure that I would get an inkling of that in the first session. There is no way that you can go to a church for twenty years and not only comprehend the message, but be totally on board with it. You are a fool if you think otherwise.

[ThunderSleeps]

That was my thought. How could he be having a credibility crisis now, he's never had any. When he was running for the Presidency he was a relative unknown, inexperienced, untested guy that had never held a leadership/executive position before. In short, he had no credibility, just charm. Since the election all of America has rapidly learned that he has nothing to offer but radical leftist ideology, incredible debt, expanding government, shrinking liberties and freedoms, utter naivety at international relations and marxism/socialism/fascism out the wazoo.

Robert ( Joseph Goebbels ) Gibbs, Barack Obama’s chief spokesman propagandist...

There now, fixed.

To put it bluntly and short, how can a hore be a virgin ?

Why do people act like it is so shocking Obama is a socialist (actually I think he is a liberal fascist, but that is another conversation) when even TONY BLAIR freely admitted he himself was a “socialist”.

At BEST Obama is a Euro Socialist, at worst he is a Liberal Fascist. It is asinine for the MSM to pretend you are talking about martians landing if you bring up socialism.

I guess they’d just fall over in a stupor if the F word was uttered.

It's astonishing alright...39% still don't admit that 0bama is a socialist. What have these 39% been smoking? Obama is even more socialist then even Hugo Chavez. Chavez himself said so.

Well said.

[xp38]

He has to find some way between now and November of demonstrating that he is a leader who can command confidence and, short of a 9/11 event or an Oklahoma City bombing, I can’t think of how he could do that.”

An attack event would expose this fraud like nothing else would I imagine. Just try and picture how this guy would have handled 9 11 and your worst nightmares would come to life.

I would love to send your post to Bob Beckel, who often makes light of Hannity's regular reminders of Obama's attendance at Wright's "church". Like most dems, he truly thinks the majority of the electorate will believe outright lies ("the stimulus worked", "economy in recovery", "Obamacare is deficit neutral") over their own logic, reason and common sense. We'll see in November.

Obama faces growing credibility crisis

Shouldn't that be, 'faces declining credibility crisis'?

Either way, how can that be? He's given a speech on virtually every known subject to man.

Oh... that is so cute!
