ITEM Obama went to Missouri to (gag) "help the healing" a full week after the storm. But there's a good reason he took so long---he had to focus-group his healing speech---so every phrase would suckup to 2012 voters.
OBAMA SUCKSUP BIGTIME "It's in these moments, through our actions, that we often see the glimpse of what makes life worth living in the first place," Obama told Missouri voters. "In the face of winds that showed no mercy, no regard for human life ... it was ordinary people, swiftly tested, who said, 'I'm willing to die right now so that someone else might live.'"
Stay tuned.
From hereonin everything he says will sound like a focus group sound-bite......with pre-programmed voice inflections, and hand and head gestures.
Why?
The complaints about ‘the field’ come from the GOP Establishment, who haven’t been able to find someone they think can stop Palin.
We could reincarnate George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, and they would still say it’s a weak field.
The media are in full propaganda mode.
Right you are and I totally agree that it is a free country, at least for now.
BUT trolls like you are easily identifiable and fail to influence the discussion.
Obama will either sink America or sink the Democrats. I’m praying he sinks the Dems, but our far left is praying he takes out America permanently and makes their dreams come true.
saving for later
I think we are all feeling very demoralized. I know I haven't felt this much contempt from own government since the time of Carter (a prissy progressive who thrived on negativity and regarded the rest of us as benighted and morally inferior to him). The good thing is that this gave us Reagan, at least in part because of his positive outlook. His theme of "it's morning in America" gave people some hope again.
In this case, Obama goes even beyond Carter, however, because Obama actively hates the majority of US citizens. And while whites are his primary target, he also hates hard-working blacks and Hispanics, too; that is, anybody who believes in the American Dream as opposed to the dreary, oppressive Socialist-Muslim collectivist nightmare. Like Carter, he feels he is morally superior to us and we are "bad."
So I think that any successful candidate has got to make the mass of Americans feel good again about ourselves and our prospects. We have to see prosperity as a good thing, and we have to see individual initiative and personal freedom not as threats (since in Bambi's view, only the government is competent to make life decisions for us) but as what we are all about.
The candidate who does this and has a positive vision of prosperity and the conditions required for it, namely economic and intellectual liberty, will be the one Americans will chose. And to do this, they must present their own vision, but must also be willing to go out and openly challenge and reject Obama's policies and attitudes. In other words, this has got to be a real throw-down, not a polite little exercise where the Dems get to say outrageous things about us and average Americans, and we do not oppose them but instead end up apologizing for breathing.
Some of Obama's more hateful remarks during his campaign (for example, the one about the "bitter clingers") should have immediately disqualified him from serious consideration. But the press just glided over them, and nobody ever really challenged him on anything he said, no matter how outrageous. This has got to change.

Got to remember that the USA is a center-right nation.
My liking her has not translated into many others i know liking her. Never mind liking but trusting which is even more important.
It’s an incredibly weak mind that resorts to calling people trolls. It proves you have nothing to say. Don’t bother replying because i won’t answer you back again.
If you pay close attention, Obama and the media are trying to rally their base.
That is a clear sign that most of the rank-and-file Democrats are not energized for Obama’s second term.
Don’t forget, he squandered a fillibuster-proof majority in both houses because Obama is not a leader. Obamacare was created by Pelosi and Reid and rammed through using gimmicks and shenanigans and zero help from Obama.
Democrats knew that Obama blew an historic opportunity and would prefer another candidate.
Hardcore liberals would prefer another party.
Whoa. That makes me a stalker, I do that all the time. So...how do you know, exactly, that the people who respond to you in threads that you ARE on, are not just stalkers pretending they aren't?
Bkmk
The two party system being vital to our country, I believe they should be the right wing Republican party and the far right wing Republican party, I being a member of the latter am ready to do battle with the wussie right wing.
