Thanks!
Finished reading and then sent it off to ‘thirty or so close friends’. I have always liked Hanson, but I don’t get a chance to read much of his stuff. Thanks for this one!
Not that many left up here, either.
I'm beginning to think that there's an underground franchise operation going around cleaning all sign of those things.
Doesn't help the basic attitudes that put 'em there in the first place; even my dear little sweet-tempered Grandma has started to call the truly a$$hole drivers or other assorted bad actors "Somebody with an Obama sticker".
And some of the REAL poofs still have 'em on their bumper. Sure helps with defensive driving.
Then I believe Dr. Hanson should have used the term “apparent” rather than “obvious”, because as it happens Obama’s “skills” are not innate but are the result of a practiced ability to read other’s words from a TelePrompter.
The “judicious manner” is a facade which falls away under pressure, as can be seen in Obama’s facial expressions and body language. He is, however, a disciplined charlatan...
Hi-Ho, the Derry-O ... Michelle O goes shopping How deaf can they be?
Bush 43: Conservative movement is inconsequential
Declaration of the Causes and Necessities of Taking up Arms
Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
Thanks for the ping!
i love ya Victor but that is a canard...Bro kept that company because he is one of them
The people were willing to overlook his weaknesses, given his obvious strengths. But when after months of fair examination they concluded his purported plusses were even greater liabilities than his flaws, they began to see him not merely as unimpressive, but perhaps even as unappealing — to a degree we have not seen often during the first year of a presidency.
Well, the Obama presidency isn't over yet. And we know how persuasive the media can be. One of the main reasons he won in 2008 was the media concentrating on his style at the expense of serious scrutiny into the man and his past. However, maybe this time the electorate won't make the same mistake again come 2012.
Ooooh...what great comments, and a great graphic!
I still love the Twelfth Imam from Chicago, too!
Thank you, Phil!
You know that YOU ROCK, don’t you? ;o)
We all knew what Obama's weaknesses were as he came into office -- a lack of experience in foreign affairs, little knowledge of how private business works, and poor judgment concerning the extremist company he had kept in the past. But given the unhappiness over the war, the September 2008 financial meltdown, the animosity toward Bush, and the lackluster Republican campaign, millions of moderates and conservative Democrats were willing to give the unconventional Obama a chance... When the most partisan member of the U.S. Senate started sounding like the least partisan, they believed him. There was a sense of reassurance that Obama was a healer... A "god," a Newsweek editor called him. Now nearly half the country is not merely distrustful of him, but increasingly viscerally angry at him as well.Obama should be impeached. That editor of Newsweek is just one of many partisan media shills who should be fired and blackballed, and if the employer won't do it, a comprehensive campaign of boycott (including so-called civil disobedience, iow, grabbing all incoming copies of Newsweek and tossing them in the trash) will send the message. Thanks neverdem.
Puff piece!
