NYT MONDAY: Dem strategists believe Obama faces 'tougher-than-anticipated' re-election...developing
(Excerpt) Read more at drudgereport.com ...
The “progressives” either over-complicate issues, or over-simplify to the point of absurdity. The assertion that Obama is “too intellectual and sophisticated” is one way in which they over-complicate. The “teabaggers are racist” assertion is how they over simplify.
I assert that Obama had to endure this “birther” issue for many reasons, but one simple one is that so many people look at his actions, his responses, his priorities, and find it easy to believe “this guy must not have been born here.”
He is not like any other American President, and I mean that in a bad way. All but the crappiest Presidents could at various moments connect with people. Obama is out of touch and out of tune with a large swath of the population now, and he is never going to get them back.
You stand corrected.
The Donald is gong to beat Bammy boy by 10-20 points. You heard it here first!
If Romney is the GOP pick in 2012, Zero will be a shoe in.
What carefully for shenanigans.
That all depends; do we get a super-majority of Bachmans or Boehners?
NYT working to get conservatives to relax.
2012 DNC/MSM playbook:
1. Race cards and entire race decks.
2. Media control. Radio,TV and Internet.
3. Campaign finance reform tricks.
4. Republicans dissatisfied with current field of GOP candidates news stories.
5.Tea Party : Support drops and or they are terrorists, news stories.
6. Push to get felons the vote.
7. Push to get illegals the vote.
8. Push to deny Military the vote.
A republican would have to have economic ideas and changes to offer that go beyond cutting the old people’s social security retirement funds and health care and cutting the wealthy people’s taxes.
That is not going to fix what ails us.
Translated:
There will be twice the votes counted than those votes cast.

| Bernanke said 2011 growth has slowed to less than a 2 percent in the first three months of this year. The Fed chairman said: ''most of the factors that account for the slower growth in the first quarter appear to us to be transitory.'' Right Mr. Chairman, 'transitory' in the same way the current administration is 'transitory'. The first won't end until the other ends. And I guess if we enter the worldwide socialism club, we'll never have to worry about growth again. All I know is that if they tell us we had 1.8% growth, it really means we had no growth or negative growth. The Fed chairman expressed some hope that the recent warning about danger to our credit rating would inspire Washington to action. Never let it be forgotten that the Administration tried to suppress that report, and never forget that absolutely none of our current problems are due to 'inaction' from Washington. Trillions of dollars worth of unsustainable debt is signaling that more QE is inevitable regardless of the jawboning rhetoric of Ben Bernanke who up until last week refused to admit that inflation even existed. When will Bernanke admit the Fed policy is a total failure? For the guy who cranks out new dollars on the Treasury's printing press, he spends a lot of time insisting the value of the dollar is someone else's responsibility. Can you say 'Kabuki theater?' So the Fed's inaugural 'meet the press' moment was in fact preparing the ground for the start of QE3. Bernanke has his 'tools' you know. It's all fiat money now, meaning that it has value only because the Fed says it does! So we have an unstable economy wobbling atop unsound money. Money that the government takes from taxpayers, or borrows with no intention of paying it back, or prints without end. The Fed will have printed about $1.8 trillion from the end of 2008 to the end of June, 2011 - partly to finance staggering federal government deficits of nearly $4.5 trillion over the three years. So the Fed's actions are undermining the dollar precisely because that's what the White House wants Countdown until Obama leaves Office: 629 days as of May 1, 2011.
------------------------------ Welcome to the 1970s: low growth, high inflation. And the Keynesians argued this can't happen. The whole QE2 pump-priming hasn't stimulated economic growth, but has stimulated inflation. It's all virtual money now! Hope and Change.... Tragic. |
Well Duh. What did the dems used to say? “It’s the economy stupid.” I guess the dems are realizing that even though their allies in the press keep telling us in every article they print, that the recovery is here, people are believing the reality they’re experiencing over the lies they’re being fed. I don’t know maybe they could blame it on Bush or better still racism. Yea that’s the ticket, racism. I haven’t heard a dem call something racist in the last hour. Here’s their chance.
Romney’s like chewing on plastic. Trump...Palin...Bachman...biting into filet mignon.
Third War costing us $100s of millions and killing children.
Spending spree money laundering scheme to unions and corrupt corporations who donate back to his re-election campaign.
FROM YOUR LIPS TO GOD'S EARS!!
In 2008 this country elected a “Community Organizer” which he still remains today. Nuff said!
Doubtful Republicans have been so helpful in laying down and dying to every media backed Obama assault.
Racist! Pfft!
Mr. Obama will face the drip...drip...drip of voter dissatisfaction first hand!
