Conveniently, Broder forgets to mention that the stimulus, health care, and so many other troubles were directly caused by the ridiculous policies of the Obama administration.

Of course nevermind that the challenges in Iraq, Afghanistan & Iran are largely of Obama’s own doing by his “make nice” theory on dealing with those who would kill us.

Poor, poor Obama: he’s created a mess and now he must live in it.

...amplified on sometimes hostile cable channels and talk radio...

Gee, Mr. Broder, what ever could you be refering to? Pfft...liberals, if your not worshiping Obama or proping up Democrats you're hostile, or a part of "talk radio" *wink, wink*

good point. The presidency is probably the toughest job in the world. What the heck does anybody expect? Any president has to face the tough issues and Obama is no exception.

He won the election, as Nancy Pelosi is fond of saying. But just because Democrats won the election for pres. and congress does not mean that the people want socialized medicine and cap and tax bills and other liberal clap trap.

According to recent polls, there are more conservatives than liberals in all 50 states, in each of the states. Conservatism may well find growing support as the liberalism of Obama, Pelosi, tributes to Ted Kennedy, etc. get people thinking more about politics and how conservative principles can be applied to our problems today. There are alternatives on healthcare besides socialized medicine, which conservatives have talked about, but which don’t get much play in the MSM.

I badly misjudged the broad public reaction to the angry August congressional town meetings.

Probably because you projected your own feelings about the town hall meetings onto the "broader public". Probably because you haven't seriously entertained the notion that normal people can have legitimate concerns about the healthcare reform.

That line caught my eye, too. Opportunistic?? How about Rahm with the ‘never let a good crisis go to waste’? Big Media has truly compromised itself. No one but hard core Leftists can trust them anymore.

I hope that President Obama and his family enjoyed their week's vacation on Martha's Vineyard,...

Not me, I hope he didn't get a minute of rest, fought with mild dysentery, and was bed ridden with a severe head cold.

One thing people need to watch for is his “Civilian Army”. They don’t need nor will they use “Marketing glitz”. One thing that Washington hasn’t realized yet and that is how pissed off the people are. They best be careful.

I badly misjudged the broad public reaction to the angry August congressional town meetings. Instead of provoking a pro-Obama backlash, as I had expected, the town halls, amplified on sometimes hostile cable channels and talk radio, spread disquiet about what the president has in mind. And Obama's patient, didactic responses have not quieted the reaction, let alone built fresh support for a vitally needed overhaul of our expensive, dysfunctional health system.

Broder is such an a**hole. These MSM-types are so in tank for Obama it defies description.

Obama is not in a “scarey season.” He has consolidtated his executive power, has leftists in the necessary positions, is attacking the CIA so it can no longer act to keep us safe as a nation,and it is preparing to rule America through executive fiat. The Congress will pass laws after the fact to cover them.

This is the way natioal socialism works, and idiot American voters elected him, while a small vocal minority of us has been sceeaming to high heavens all through the presidential election cycle, thought of as whackos. Nobody is calling that vocal minority whackos now. The worst is yet to come.

Obama is fully prepared to respond to the expected wrath of the American people according to plans already made.The nation, or parts of it, will likely be placed under martial law.And then we will not likely have a genuine election for many years.

There are theree options for Americans:

1) fight the federal government through civil disobedience
and possible violence

2) Impeach Obama and recall our federal representatives while moving for state secession.

3) Emmigrate

Before its over, some will employ all three. Obama is not
into a scarey season at all. Obama has fully planned for it,just as national socialist governments in recent history did.

“patient, didactic response” from Obama??? More like, Obama is not sure what is in the bill since Obama did not write the bill, or read it, so Obama will not risk talking about it!

Oh, Obama knows that rationing is part of it, and that is all he cares about, but why would he talk about that?

Hey, Broder. The Dems have overwhelming control over Congress. They can pass anything they want. The “implacable and opportunistic Republican opposition” cannot stop any Dem legislation.

0bama will soon find an excuse for a “bomb the aspirin factory” military mission to “save the day” somewhere so as to deflect attention and boost his ratings. Mark my words... I just hope his self-absorbed recklessness doesn’t start WWIII

Yes, I thought the same thing when I read that.
Broder has written thousands and thousands of words, over his life.
I doubt that he ever used those negative terms, to describe ANY Democrat!

Sorry, I thought the words “David Broder” were a mega-barf projectile vomit alert.

David Broder and Olympia Snowe are contending for the title of the most far left seat in a room of RINO's.
