“Maybe Obama was not even the person he was waiting for.”
Giving credit where it is due: that is a clever line.
oh she really has come off the hopium, twisting the knife in that last paragraph, its actually mocking.
What Maureen Dowd wished for?.......
Maureen Dowd, RACIST!
He could give his next speech while standing in front of the Red Sea. He can wear a robe and be holding a staff. He will climb on a rock and tell his fellow lemmings how he is dividing the nation, parting people from their money, and leading the nation to the land of poverty and strife.
Break out the Roman columns and he toga’s, we need a doozy of a speech to the Senate Emperor!
From the article:That confirms it, the White Hut is occupied by delusional people. Don't they have drug tests for White Hut aides?
The issue isnt the size or the newness of the ideas, one said. Its less the substance than how he says it, whether he seizes the moment.
This is what those of us who were awake and alert in 2008 were seeing in all his speeches. He seizes the moment with speeches that say nothing of substance.
I know, he could build himself a a Greek temple with pillars and stuff. Oh yeah, been there, done that.
"Smarty-pants"? Clear evidence that Maureen Dowd has the mind of a sixth-grader. And that The New York Times should be flushed down the rat-hole of history.
Has Maureen Dowd hired a Freeper as a ghostwriter?
He could have even included it in this year's state of the union address.
Oh piffle, Maureen. Obama isn't a triangulating compromiser like Bill Clinton was, and everyone knows it. He's deep in liberals' pocket. When for sound political reasons he finally gave up on one of the liberals' holy grails, ever expanding environmental regulations, he got the closest thing to a mutiny he has seen yet. Another compromise or two and nobody will be his friend, not even the left.
Such drivel and disappointment in a mere "man" reveals Dowd's total lack of awareness, understanding, or appreciation for the historical role of a President under the provisions and limitations of the U. S. Constitution--a Constitution which, by the way, never has been amended to make any President a magician, a dictator, or "the one we've been waiting for."
Perhaps the words of one of our early Presidents--a man who was 9 years old when his father passionately convinced 55 fellow colonists to risk their lives in signing our Declaration of Independence from a taxing, spending government power; 11 years old when the Constitution was written; and who served as President himself might serve to inform Dowd, as well as others of her so-called "progressive" friends, including the President, of how limited the so-called "Executive" is under our Constitution:
"The President himself is no more than a representative of public opinion at the time of his election; and as public opinion is subject to great and frequent fluctuations, he must accommodate his policy to them; or the people will speedily give him a successor; or either House of Congress will effectually control his power. It is thus, and in no other sense that the Constitution of the United States is democratic - for the government of our country, instead of a Democracy the most simple, is the most complicated government on the face of the globe." - John Quincy Adams in his "Jubilee" Speech by invitation of the NY Historical Socity in New York City, in 1837)
Apparently, this former President and son of a President approved of the kind of "effectual control" on a President's power "either House" might exercise under the Constitution, as well as "the People's" legitimate role under that Constitution to "speedily give him a successor."
Hmmm, that doesn't make any sense. Did she mean "ark"?
Wow. If Obama has lost Maureen Dowd, then he is in serious danger of losing the entire confused leftist imbecile pundit vote.
(Well, not really. Despite the grumbling, Obama continues to be the embodiment of their anti-American dreams and fantasies, and they will continue to be his obediant servants, parroting his telepromptered talking points, cheering his destructive actions and worshiping his stench.)
Maa salama Baraq !
I made this last week based on a suggestion made by my wife's boss after he found out I make designs to sell on CafePress.
I liked his idea enough to lay it out and put it up.
More and more, the demons are turning on Satan.
