As the negotiations and the vote-getting on raising the debt ceiling have dragged on these last two weeks, it's became clear that President Obama really is not a good negotiator. Several times, just as a deal seemed imminent, the discussions have collapsed—and very publicly. There were leaks from the administration, he-said-she-said accounts from both sides, angry White House press conferences—just a "parade of horribles," as lawyers would call it. The result is a rising tide of public disgust and frustration. Not only has he lost bipartisan support in both the House or the Senate, his lack of ability to persuade people to join his cause has cost President Obama the vital center of the electorate.
According to yesterday's Pew Research national survey, with results collected just this week, only 31 percent of independent voters want to see Obama re-elected, down from 42 percent in May. Two months ago, Obama held a 7 point lead among independent registered voters two months ago, but independent support has swung 15 points the other way, giving an 8 point advantage to a generic Republican. "This is consistent with a drop in Obama's approval among all independents. Currently, a majority (54 percent) disapprove of Obama's performance for the first time in his presidency," according to Pew.
Maybe it's because Hillary Clinton's "three in the morning" ad was right—maybe he just doesn't have the experience to be president. Of the top 100 jobs that would qualify one to be president, being a law professor isn't one of them. A plumber would be better qualified than a law professor. Seriously—a plumber is a problem solver who has to keep customers happy. A used car salesman knows how to close a deal. A UPS deliveryman knows how to meet a deadline. A diplomat knows how to be, well, diplomatic. Meaning he doesn't lecture people about "eating their peas" when he needs them to jump on board.
Think about some of our former presidents and their qualifications for the job. Bill Clinton had been a governor, a job that involves being an executive decision-maker. Ronald Reagan had headed the Screen Actors Guild and worked for General Electric, in addition to being governor. President Bush 41 had served as ambassador to the U.N., liaison to Communist China, head of the RNC during Watergate, director of the CIA during its most difficult years, and had even served as a freshman Republican in a Democratic Congress. Harry Truman had run a men's clothing store that failed in a recession and narrowly escaped bankruptcy—certainly something that would have prepared him for the job today. Surely some of them got elected for reasons other than their qualifications—after all, the desire for economic or political change can be a powerful force among voters, no matter who is running— but certainly some presidents' past experiences helped them once they got in office.
Peggy Noonan writes today that "the secret of Mr. Obama is that he isn't really very good at politics, and he isn't good at politics because he doesn't really get people." I think that's right. Being a plumber or a used car salesman—or a union organizer or a men's clothing store owner or the liaison to Communist China—requires you to know how to deal with people and how to negotiate in good faith. Being a law professor doesn't.
“...Bauer is Obama’s chief “birther” lawyer. His job is to keep Obama’s personal artifacts hidden from the American People. He has demonstrated that he will use all available means to do this...”
Would you regard traitor as hyperbole?
Okay, I’m confused about why this a big deal to you. Justia.com is a commercial site not a government site. The SCOTUS isn’t involved with and doesn’t oversee Justia.com. It’s late - what am I missing?
We don’t know all this yet. The details remain, and more fighting, then the big battle, 2012.
For a little buck-up, try this:

Doug Urbanski has a theory. His idea is that Obama knows he can't raise his own poll numbers. So his strategy is to lower everyone's numbers, make people just get disgusted at the whole lot of them. Get people thinking, it doesn't matter, who you vote for, because nothing improves.
In Obama's eyes, that's his path to re-election.
I think it's an interesting take on what's going on. I believe the response to this strategy is to primary RINO squish Republicans to stoke the enthusiasm of the TEA Party, who'll then turn out in droves.
One wonders.....why???
2.4 Trillion dollars will buy a lot of peas, but don’t worry Mr. President; you will have lots of TEA to wash them down with.
When liberals start admitting that an 0b0z0 couldn't be POTUS, we may have a glimmer of hope. Read the article that says, in part :

BTW, 0b0z0 IS NOT a "law professor" either!!
To those who voted for obama, in my opinion, you cannot suffer enough. You are getting and will get what you deserve.
University of Chicago Law School
Lecturer (Obama)
Assistent Professor
Associate Professor
Full Professor
His fellow teachers called him lazy, and without ability.....DO tell!
He worked for Baskin Robbins for 2 weeks in high school, and was fired.
He wasn’t a law professor, he wasn’t even a lecturer, he was a political appointee into a lecturer sinecure by the U of Chicago.
Obama is nothing real. There nothing real about Obama.
Justia is sort of like Google is for internet searches. It is a site for attornies to do research, find dockets etc. I would imagine it is used a LOT when researching case law, it beats the heck out of researching in a huge law library. That it is being scrubbed is abhorrent. It would be like google censoring refrences to foxnews or something.
Thanks for the ping!
;-)
;) you betcha!
Thanks, FN ..
The internet is forever .. good reminder. ;)
In fact, the wretched SOB has never done anything useful, ever, in his entire "professional" (term used loosely) life.
As I understand it, Justia is not a govt/SCOTUS site .. it’s the prominent judicial reference blog, apparently, but being it’s civilian, it means any level of muckraking obot can be operating there just like they do everywhere else they do .. on every front .. lying, twisting and conveniently excluding judicial facts to throw people off the truth.
The massive, comprehensive coverup has been operational on every front for this cretin since before he announced for potus.
It’s truly despicable .. and it would seem mandatory that, for any cases where Justia’s legal references were used in SCOTUS case arguments (which you’d hope they’d NOT be using Justia), those cases should definitely now be treated with suspicion and re-opened.

For posterity, due to the incredibly important nature of this information, I have decided to keep the investigative report exactly where I first published it, in the comments section of my previous report.
This is beyond shocking. Somebody, back in 2008, just prior to the election, ordered these revisions and saw to their execution. This is direct tampering with United States law. And it is evidence that Minor v. Happersett was known to be a huge stumbling block to POTUS eligibility.
It confirms that Minor v. Happersett was seen as a dangerous US Supreme Court precedent which construed the natural-born citizen clause of Article 2 Section 1 to make only those persons born in the US to citizen parents (plural)… eligible to be President.
According to binding US Supreme Court precedent, Obama is not eligible to be President. And we are obviously very late coming to this legal truth.
Somebody at Justia.com tried to control and alter our awareness by hiding important Supreme Court references to Minor dating back to 2008. This is smoking gun proof of tampering. Please read my full report here.

There needs to be an investigation.
