The Obama Heyday Is Over

Barack Obama hit the campaign trail this week to resurrect some of that hopey-changey stuff and to complain that his critics talk about him "like a dog." Turns out the president wasn't, in fact, referring to his own party.

Voters might be forgiven the confusion. It isn't as if Democrats have been showing Mr. Obama much love. Quite the opposite. Seven weeks from Election Day, the vulnerable wing of the majority has finally found itself a campaign issue: blunt opposition to Mr. Obama and his agenda.

Has it only been 20 months? Candidate Obama swelled into office with an ambitiously liberal plab. He promised his party that his legislative items would be more than policy triumphs; they'd be political triumphs. Stick with me, he said, and we'll get credit for leadership. Voters will come to love this stuff. Polls will improve. I'll campaign in your district.

We can survive 0bama, but we cannot survive the mindset that voted him in. We are seeing the results of fifty years of liberal indoctrination from our schools, news media and hollywood. The dumbed-downed electorate thought they were voting for the cool guy on American Idol. We are heading toward “Idiocracy”.

The forcing of a health bill that has over 2000 pages, most of which does not go into effect until after 2012, the finance, the stimulus bills, all lengthy and all consuming, immigration plans and attitude, taking over banks, corporations, moratoriums on drilling off shore and other places, not protecting the validity of honest voting,placing two progressive homosexual women on the Supreme Court of the United States, doing his best to cause economic collapse purposely!

And dozens of other slings and slaps at the foundation of America. He is a Marxist/Socialist/Communist. and proud of it. MO

So true!

"In general, we are a country of dumbasses, led by a cabal of egomaniacs, cushioned only by bare majority of realists held in check by a shadow of conscience."

wow!

My prediction is that Obama will be impeached, removed from office, and tried by a federal court for treason.

Hillary would just give him a Presidential Pardon.

Shhhh!

Bill Clinton dealt with the 1994 massacre by moving right and triangulating. It is unclear whether the ideological Mr. Obama has the ability to follow suit.

I'm betting Obama can't. His entire life has been spent learning the tripe he's been spouting. He knows nothing other than claptrap rhetoric.

He’ll never move right because it goes against his grain.

the democrats are like new Prius owners with buyers remorse, even though they hate their new purchase when they realize they could have spent the extra $30,000 they overpaid for it on gas and be driving an SUV, they are in so deep they will praise it and defend it to the death.

Obozo Hussein’s TelePrompTer read at the Pentagon today was especially obnoxious and revolting! And especially since another Pentagon Bomber is his close friend and writer of his Diatribe, “Dreams from My Polygamous, Drunken, Communist Alleged Father”. William Ayers!

Heyday?? More like a “mayday” right now.

“Agreed.....Both Congress and dirty diapers need changing for the same reasons...”

Love that!

Plab —> typo for plan. Good editors are hard to find.

******

“Palb” might have been a shortening of “Pablum” ...

“Candidate Obama swelled into office with ambitiously liberal PABLUM.”

That would’ve worked.

When you don't have an answer, or really know what to do....just go on vacation!

Every day is Hay Day with Ubama.

Things are so tough, Michelle has had to take a parttime job.

Properly attired for the job, of course.
