Krauthammer: "Don't Underestimate Barack Obama."

I don't think I could be accused of Underestimating Øbongo since I believe that is aims are to turn America into a 3rd world sh!thole.

So tell us Charles, what is your battle plan to defeat him? Are you saying that we should try to regain the House & Senate (If Democrats lose control of one or both houses, Obama will probably have an easier time in 2012, just as Bill Clinton used Newt Gingrich and the Republicans as the foil for his 1996 reelection campaign)?

Or is it "damned if we do - damned if we don't?

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Obama, his administration, and the legislature have been sowing the seeds of resentment, and irrespective of exactly when those seeds fully sprout, they eventually will. They have already started to root. The democrats have survived and grown by pandering to those who pay the least into the system, and take the most out of taxpayer funded government. Under Obama they have ramped up this approach well beyond tolerable levels. Don't expect people to continue to take this indefinitely.

I also think Hillary will run against him in 2012. The Clintons feel like the Democrat party is “theirs” anyhow, and they won’t stand idly by while Obama ruins everything they and their liberal pals have worked for. I look for her to make her move if the Rs win at least one house of Congress.

I also think if there’s any chance of a female candidate on the Republican side, Hillary will make damn sure there’s one on the Democrat side too.

[proud_yank]

I think that is part of it, but the bigger piece IMO is that the GOP needs to have an actual vision, plan and measureable goals going into the 2012 election. Not just complaining about the chosen one, with no mention of what/how they would do differently.

Someone here had a quote to the effect of ‘All we get from Dems are lame ideas, and all we get from the GOP is lame criticisms of those ideas’. I think it is pretty spot on.

[Little Ray]

He only missed the mark a little. Obama is a “Post Turtle.” He didn’t get to be President on his own. Don’t underestimate Obama puppeteers.

[scott7278]

I remember Bill Clinton’s first public “apology” in which he finally admitted an “inappropriate relationship.” He then proceeded to turn it around on the Republicans.

I looked at my Dad and said, “Man, he’s good (at that).” Obama does not possess the charm or false humility that Bubba has.

[TexasFreeper2009]

exactly.

Every thing Obama is implementing will doom the economy.

Higher taxes
More regulations
More government takeovers
Less domestic oil drilling
More spending like mad men
More welfare for the bums of society
More illegal aliens
More people getting endless unemployment checks

How, just HOW is that going to turn things around?

His whole agenda is DOOMED to utter and complete failure.

Seriously, if giving poor people free everything actually made things better for everyone, even I would be a democrat. But it doesn't, it never has and never will. When you take from the rich to give to the poor.. you just end up with everyone poor, EVERYTIME.

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

Krauthammer clearly doesn’t agree with what Obama has spent his first year and a half in office doing

Believe it or not, there are people on this very forum who are so dense as to believe that Krauthammer voted for Obama and supports his agenda.

[JSteff]

If Republicans are elected to majority in November and don’t give them a quick fix, many independents and even Republicans will be out looking for another one, or a man on a white horse...

Excellent insight and reasoning. This is along the lines I have been mentioning the last few weeks. There is too much talk of this election being our salvation. It is not, there is much work beyond it.

Hopefully, someone has a plan and the electorate the wisdom to stick to it (the plan) and allow the elements of the plan to work.

[goat granny]

He has said stupid things in the past....not often but he has........

[JSteff]

The Democrats lose functional control of the Senate in any case,

Theoretically this is what we have now.... yet the Financial Reform bill proved the dems HAVE NOT lost control of the senate.

[hosepipe]

Clinton didnt have a very large and growing Tea Party Caucus to deal with...

[mowowie]

I met a lot of hussein lovers in Las Vegas last week.
There is absolutly no talking sense into those people.
Met A lot of haters as well, A few blacks included.

[Nosterrex]

I would never underestimate the forces of evil in the world. Only a fool would assume that Obama is weak. The Devil does not give up without a fight.

[JSteff]

I also think if there’s any chance of a female candidate on the Republican side, Hillary will make damn sure there’s one on the Democrat side too.

A winning combo is Palin/West. A female and a minority. Both of who are conservative.

[JSteff]

He didn’t get to be President on his own

Right. Even the "financial crisis" was a stage spring board for O and the dems.

[meadsjn]

Krauthammer and his RINO ilk are stealth commies; they can’t capitulate fast enough, all the while saying resistance is futile.

[Salamander]

““Don’t underestimate Barack Obama.”

Last time somebody gave me wise advice like that, it involved baby Copperheads.

Oh, wait.
I’m being redundant.

[TChad]

As usual, I think Krauthammer is right. Obama may be a socialist and a fraud, but he is a competent, tricky politician.

I still worry that the GOP will find a way to deliver another terrible presidential candidate.

[Salvey]

There is too much talk of this election being our salvation. It is not, there is much work beyond it.

But it's not gonna get done so long as we have the same spineless leadership in both houses of Congress.
