Pressure Builds on Obama to Shake Up Inner Circle (DAY EARLY)
WSJ ^

Posted on 11/01/2010 9:44:22 PM PDT by indianrightwinger

By PETER WALLSTEN And JONATHAN WEISMAN

Some high-level Democrats are calling for President Barack Obama to remake his inner circle or even fire top advisers in response to what many party strategists expect to be a decisive defeat on Tuesday.

Tensions have come to the surface after meetings over the past few weeks in which Obama senior adviser David Axelrod discussed communications strategy with senior Democratic strategists and party officials. Some Democrats were so unhappy with the White House meetings, they started their own.

The strategy sessions aired a range of disagreements over how to help Democrats forestall an electoral drubbing at the polls—a defeat party strategists believe could have been minimized with a different White House playbook.

Its all about musical chairs.

Neither the Democrats or Barry have a clue as to why they’re losing.

Its their arrogance, condescension and contempt, stupid.

A verdict amply summed up in seven words. Man up!

Oh, I think even they know why they’re losing—they just don’t care. Obama was groomed (programmed) for decades to push a Marxist agenda, so that’s what he is doing. He may back off a little after the Midterms to foster the appearance of running to the Center, but nothing fundamental will change. He will be forced to rely on Executive order and regulation to continue to push his agenda. Even if he is a one termer, it will take decades to undo the damage (if ever).

There others still out there lurking, as bad, maybe worse.

The Narcissist in Chief will blame EVERYONE other than himself. His Tsars should stand up and take the blame...but they will not due to being true believers in State Control of everything and everyone. Will Zero have the guts to fire each and everyone of them? NOOOO, because he is a True Believer also.

It will be the Axelrod types that get the boot, hoping Americans will accept their heads as retribution for the nightmare. He will never understand that it is not about individual failures BUT THE IDEOLOGY THAT BROUGHT US TO THE BRINK.

Senior Democrats Demand Obama Shakeup White House Staff

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5963072/senior_democrats_demand_obama_shakeup.html

Scroll down to the last par on the 1st page .. expressing
the possibility that failed congresscritters may be
considered to fill WH crew spots that’ll soon be vacant.

ROFL!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the country heads to the polls, President Obama will stick to his strategy of getting out the vote by calling in to radio stations around the country. From the Oval Office, Obama will do radio interviews with stations in Los Angeles, Chicago, Jacksonville and Las Vegas, the White House says.

Just get this trailer trash out of our govt as ASAP.

The trip to India, with 3,000 people, 2 luxe hotels filled to capacity, 40 planes, Michelle, the kids, etc, etc, is going to cost us $200 MILLION A DAY..........

DISGUSTING----3000 parasites including Moochelle and kiddies----all flying high, eating and drinking on the dime of Ohaha's "enemies."

M/M O'jerko are doing this purposefully---b/c of the dustup over Her Highness' trip to Spain.

If we don't like it we can lump it---is their arrogant attitude.

Interesting. Thanks for the ping I was out and missed it.

Notice the WSJ article SEEMS to call for a complete revamp of THE WEST WING and ulster man more specific to Obama’s advisers.

Maybe they don’t want it OUT out before the elections that Obama will be replaced in the west wing to get the black vote (the only thing Obama has left) or something? Who knows?

Add me to you ping.

Do you know what I could do with 200M a day?
I could pay my bills and start a new company and provide jobs.
I could pay my medical bills I have after insurance.
It could make up for the GUTTING of my paycheck that the democratic governor gave me in state taxes and fed and healthcare. I could pay my house off and not scrape to pay my mortgage.

I could live and open a women’s shelter. I could teach the world to sing...

Good find...

THIS needs a thread by itself...

"The second problem is that there will be the temptation to give jobs in the administration to former Democratic senators and congressmen who are about to be defeated in the 2010 midterms. Secretary of Health and Human Services Nancy Pelosi, anyone? What about White House senior adviser Alan Grayson? NASA administrator Suzanne Kosmas?

So Pelosi et al want payback cushy jobs? Are they INSANE? It will be even worse!
