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

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

There are two sentences in this "paragraph" from the article. The pronoun, "he" is used twice.

The first sentence means that the president is losing his staff.

The second sentence uses the pronoun "he" as well. But this is confusing.

Is this sentence saying that the president claimed that the last 20 months were the toughest time any president has ever faced? Or, does the sentence mean that Emanuel said that the last 20 months were the toughest time any president has face?

The writer lost me, there.

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."

Here’s General obuma heading for Gettysburg, and he’s discovered that General Meade can’t be found and General Chamberlain left the northeast 100 years ago, and all he’s got left is really fat tuba players armed with SEIU T-shirts.

Charge!

Affirmative action must be outlawed if only to prevent the Presidency being polluted by another a—clown having his incompetence masked by fake, bestowed credentials.

From the beginning, I have routinely referred to him as “Mugabama”. His government health care takeover is patterned precisely after Mugabe’s. And keep in mind that in Zimbabwe, a doctor receives a big, whopping 32 cents a month.

abc bad morning in America had their dim plant saying how Republicans are looking bad for the election... stated that we have made no gains in the last two weeks... they are using their propaganda polling to try and cover up reality.

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

It's not in mine, either. Perhaps you could ask the Kenyan Clown what he meant when he said it.

It just dawned on me what it might mean. The Kenyan said, when meeting Bob Dylan, that they didn't spend time "grinnin' and cheesin.'" I think it meant grinning and saying cheese for the camera.

The President may be completely detatched and clinging to his ideology as things get worse for him. I like the bunker scenario, Berlin, WWII that he’s moving around divisions that no longer exists. His generals are abandoning him like rats on a sinking ship and that shows how loyal they are to the pretender-in-Chief.
