But Truman Burbank was a genuinely nice guy, unlike Hussein, who works to kill babies and old people!!!!

Truman didn’t have to deal with 24/7 cable news and the internet though. Go ahead and try to run it that way Baraq, and see how well it goes now.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t buy an old locomotive and ride a Lincoln Trail. Hell, maybe he’ll grow a beard..

Maybe Truman in 52'. He was wildly unpopular, and lost the New Hampshire primary to Kefauver. He then dropped out.

Such a strategy could succeed if we send in our Dewey, Mitt Romney.

“the busck” Is that some kind of African Deer? LOL

But you are right. O’Blowme is too much of an ideolog to do something as smart and honest as that. Plus he is just too dumb

Certainly worth looking out for so it can be spotted, spot-lighted and dismantled.

The "do nothing" here is the Democrat party and I mean the Senate in particular. It's abysmal and shocking they have gotten a free pass so long.

Some guy at The New Republic suggested a bigger war as economic stimulus.

Maybe that's a backup plan now having toppled Mubarak, picked on Assad, pushing Gaddafi, still in Iraq, Afghanistan...

That would certainly be a crisis.

So he wants to do a Truman number and run against a do nothing Congress huh?

Won’t work, because Truman had a both the Senate and the House in Republican hands. So he was able to paint the whole Republican party as obstructionists at a time when the media had already been working on destroying Joe McCarty.

The beauty of not winning the Senate last year means he cannot run against it.

Sorry Bumma!

What you need to watch out for is a Helter Skelter summer next year, because Obummer is hoping to start a race war so he and the MSM can paint the right a racist.

“My attitude is, get it done … [but] if they don’t get it done, then we’ll be running against a Congress that’s not doing anything for the American people, and the choice will be very stark and will be very clear.”

Good. Make that argument you Keynesian Socialist.

The country doesn't want Congress to do anything. We want Government to leave us the hell alone.
