The Obama Heyday Is Over
The Wall Street Journal ^ | 09-10-10 | KIMBERLEY A. STRASSEL

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.

Mr. Webster was a narrow-minded racist bigot and lacked the ‘Progressive’ mentality dontchyaknow. ‘Plab’ is too brilliant a word for Mr. Webster to have ever imagined nor defined! (:

And is why RINOs have to be excised from the party. So far it seems that all the GOP has done since 1995 is to manage the ever-more-socialist state that the Rats have created and have done practically nothing to reverse it.

PLAB: Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board

Say it ain't so! My wife speaks 13 languages, most quite fluently... but "professional assessments" sounds like a liberal trump card uber alles.

Short term...yes...damage would prevail...long term constituents of a truly free republic would win...dive into the Twin Towers or bomb Pearl Harbor and we come together...Stupidity only votes once in favor of stupidity...remorse fights back with earnest to a point until we are overwhelmed by others...it’s fair to say we need to keep a sharp eye over our Christian shoulder...Islamic attacks on our freedom are coming and it will slap us into “next week” before the majority knows what happen...then it will be too late for those of non Christian Faith

Plab is a plan made up of flab and blab - a perfect 4-letter description of Obama’s oeuvre.

"Roy Herron, running in Tennessee, ran an ad describing himself as a "truck-driving, shotgun-shooting, Bible-reading, crime-fighting, family loving country boy." This is not a joke."

Harry Reid is running ads like that in rural Nevada too; "named best friend of the NRA, loves hunting, shotguns, built best gun range in the country," blah, blah, blah.

Barry is like a television child star. The Nation was fascinated with him for a brief time as they were with Gary Coleman, Danny Bonaduce etc., but then quickly grew tired of him. He simply does not know what he’s doing. He just keeps rubberstamping big ticket thousand page bills that he doesn’t even bother to read. He will not age well and history will look on him as a very expensive dud of a President.

That speech he gave in Ohio was disgusting.
That was nothing more than a campaign speech -
This guy is a total empty suit.
