Loneliest man in DC
NY Post ^ | October 3, 2010 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 10/04/2010 2:48:31 AM PDT by Scanian

He's tried homey backyard settings, large campus ral lies and teamed up with a crass hip-hop show. Wherever he goes, he floors the rhetorical pedal, as when he likened his slow-motion polices to the time it took to "free the slaves."

Barack Obama has gone from a failing president to flailing at ghosts. Even allowing for desperate times, his desperate measures are a national embarrassment.

Emancipation? Give us a break.

With each passing day, his denunciations of dissent and inflated claims of economic progress turn off the independent voters who will decide the midterm elections. He is ignoring the sensible advice to listen to the majority of voters and build a governing coalition.

Instead, he recklessly bets the remainder of his presidency on maintaining the huge liberal Democratic majorities that helped him impose a string of unpopular policies on America. If he fails, and there is good reason to hope he will face a Republican Congress, he'll be the loneliest man in Washington.

He is losing much of his White House team, yet the obsequious hagiography continues. When Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel departed Friday, he claimed the last 20 months were "the toughest time any president has ever faced."

This is farce masquerading as fact, but there is no sign Obama is willing to bring in new aides who could help him chart a new course.

If anything, he is doubling down on his self-aggrandizing Big Government agenda

I question how “lonely” 0 will ever fel as long as he surrounds himself with sycophantic aides and czars like Jarrett, Sunstein, and Beltway Bob.

I wonder why Team America: World Police hasn’t come out with a sequel. So much fodder for comment.

Obama: I’m so ronery!

He may get lonely and introspective, he may be a bit of sad soul but who cares? He has brought this all down on himself. He is SUPPOSED to be the President, he is SUPPOSED to lead and he is SUPPOSED to listen to the American people. If he does NONE of the above then let him fall and please pass the popcorn...

President Barack Hussein Obama Jr.. is not in DC enough to feel lonely, he spends more time in AF1 than the White House

--------------------------

Looniest man in DC

We are tired of the Ivy League geniuses who game the system and have buried us under trillions of dollars of debt.

The foreign occupier's social experiment on the sensible people of the nation is over.

Look out Zer0, the hope and change is a coming... and not from you.

Kick the bums out, repeal Obama's policies, cut taxes, cut entitlements, cut the red tape, cut the budget and close the border.

The only surprise is that it’s taken so many people this long to begin to get a clue what the Obamanation represents.

He never should have had a snowball’s chance of being elected....

But it's impossible simply to ignore Obama. He is the president of a troubled nation, and he regularly reaches new depths of demeaning the office as he fights public will.

BTTT.

The Kenyan Clown and his circus are a affirmative action laughingstock to the entire world.

Perhaps the nadir was his recent remark about Bob Dylan "You don’t want him to be all cheesin’ and grinnin’ with you", which has to be one of the most singularly undignified and flatly stupid sentences to ever have been uttered in our White House.

Narcissists are incapable of introspection! In his mind, he is right and the world is wrong!

Here's what he thinks...

"Stupid little people who cling to guns and religion can never understand what he is trying to do."

Only because we don’t know how Billy Boy phrased his ‘instructions’ to Monica.

National Enquirer says that Michelle will divorce Obama if he runs for reelection.
Good enough excuse to me.

Is it at all surprising that 45% of the electorate still support the Obamanation?

My vocabulary does not include “cheesin.’” It’s meaning, please.
