The New Comeback Kid: Obama’s comeback is occurring in his presidency a year ahead of Clinton’s
NRO ^ | 12/17/2010 | Charles Krauthammer

If Barack Obama wins reelection in 2012, as is now more likely than not, historians will mark his comeback as beginning on December 6, the day of the Great Tax-Cut Deal of 2010.

Obama had a bad November. Admittedly shellacked in the midterm election, he fled the scene to Asia and various unsuccessful meetings, only to return to a sad-sack, lame-duck Congress with ghostly dozens of defeated Democrats wandering the halls.

Kraut pussed out in 2008 and is already folding for 2012. He may be right on a lot of issues but he is nothing more than an elitist ivy league beltway insider.

Bookmarked for future mocking, like when someone in the future tells me how brilliant Krauthammer is.

I have yet to see proof that the Marxist is smart. ( Programmed and evil, yes.) I did see proof (again) that the Republicans are dumb, but to say that obama is already a year ahead of Bill Clinton is nonsense! *sigh* The TEA Party Republicans don't take charge until January and the $1.1 Trillion, poker laden budget was stopped today!

Charles is reverting back to his cyncical democrat ways and days. I think I'll use Krauthammer as a *red* flag. Watch closely what he writes and says.

Apparently, Charles has forgotten that Obama will be slammed repeatedly during the campaign season...lol. Sarah Palin is right: those Beltway folks are a hoity-toity group of their own.

I agree the Republicans were fools to endorse more pork spending and it’s infuriating they want to continue to use this as a political football so they can campaign for keeping these tax rates in 2012 rather then fighting they be made permanent. But Kraut’s analysis of Obama’s end here is very weak. It does remind he was one of the people fawning over Obama just two years ago. He took pride in not succumbing to him by giving him a vote like his friends. But he did everything short of that in the run up.

Charles really doesn’t like the bill, and feels the Republicans were snookered.

That’s the reason for this article.

This guy is delusional. In our entire history, there has never been such a divisive president. Maybe Lincoln and that led to civil war! Obama is a one termer. Period...

Krauthamer is a liberal. Don't be fooled by his smart*ssed editorials.

A curious media spin phenomena continues: When Democrat Presidents are forced into breaking campaign promises by signing legislation they hate, it’s always a moment of strength and victory. When Republicans do the same it’s weakness and loss.

Krauthammer has joined George Will as conservative columnists who have gone native.

It’s what overexposure and years in Washington do to people.

He’s an elitist; the same flavor as Noonan, Rove, Romney etc. Some of his columns are very good but truly, since the election, I don’t read too much of his stuff anymore. He was an ass about O’Donnell and has been an ass about Palin (IIRC) and that doesn’t come from any substance; it just comes from elitism.

Just look at this bottom-of-the-barrel Salvation Army family. Their clothes are a mess, un-pressed, ill fitting, and not befitting a Presidential family.

Zero's suit looks like he kept it since high school, and has never pressed it.

You can't take the hillbilly nature out of this family.

Perhaps he likes the Obama cocktail parties... all the lobster and Kobe beef.

One has to take Krauthammer seriously but I don’t see how Obama is so smart. He was boxed in and had to move to the center or let his constituents on unemployment go without and piss off everyone else when their taxes went up. Unfortunately the Republicans let him off easy. But what else was Obama going to do?

Charles, the drugs have kicked in.

Obama is not smart, this is not a comeback, and he has definitely not moved to the center.

He is still a far left, America hating Muslim marxist, who can read a teleprompter and expel enough bullsh$t to keep people like you, Charles, enthralled.

This is the high point of his usurped Presidency.

It is all down hill from here.

Why does one “have to take Krauthammer seriously”? Seriously?
