A Knife in Obama’s Back?

his Olympian ambitions

Destroying White America and turning the country into Zimbabwe is Olympian?

[RC2]

Along with all this......has anyone else noticed that Obama totally ignores our military? It’s as if they don’t exist to him. What an insult this guy is.

[hosepipe]

Its hard to find someone willing to admit to being a "useful idiot".. a skipping PollyAnna... a mouth talking, drooling, eye roller...

You know..... a democrat... or RINO...

[junta]

Zero was even called a “light worker” by some airhead SanFransicko columnist.

polling data showing that self-described conservatives outnumber liberals two to one. But that’s not nearly so telling as the fact that self-identified conservatives have outnumbered liberals in every year since 1968; when combined with self-proclaimed moderates, the country is enduringly 65 to 75 percent moderate-to-conservative.

Now if we could just get the Republican Party to realize this.

Milbank wrote a column on February 21 arguing that all the president’s problems can be attributed to a single factor. “Obama’s first year fell apart in large part because he didn’t follow his chief of staff’s advice on crucial matters,” writes Milbank, referring to Rahm Emanuel, apparently the only senior staffer who hasn’t drunk the Obama Kool-Aid. “Arguably, Emanuel is the only person keeping Obama from becoming Jimmy Carter.”

Milbank is kidding, right? Obama didn’t listen to his advisors? Bull. The “advisors” control him. He has this corps of socialist communists who direct his every move. Why do you think he needs a teleprompter all the time?

And as for “keeping Obama from becoming Jimmy Carter,” well...sorry...Obama has surpassed Carter in stupidity and deceit, among other things.

Rush said on the air, right after Obama was elected and the Dems swept Congress, that they would “over-reach”. He was dead right (as usual).

It is Obama’s unbelievable narcissism that has led to their upcoming demise as a Party, IMHO. This sumbitch really does believe his own press.

If this is true, why do Democrats win so many elections?

Rahm better realize he’ll be thrown under the bus too - if he doesn’t “do unto others what they would do unto you.”

[DrC]

“Milbank is kidding, right? Obama didn’t listen to his advisors? Bull.”

You may want to read more carefully. Milbank has essentially divided Obama’s advisors into 2 groups: far left-of-center ideologues intent on remaking America into a European welfare state (Axelrod, Jarrett, Gibbs) and a group of 1, Rahm Emanuel, who though left-leaning, also is far more “pragmatic” in his thinking, which translates into a less ambitious policy agenda. Milbank is arguing that Obama has paid too much attention to the first group of advisors and not enough attention to Emanuel.

So, you’re right in believing that Obama is in trouble because he listened to his advisors, but this in no way undercuts Milbank’s argument: it actually supports it.

“If this is true, why do Democrats win so many elections? “

The media is on their side.

[La Lydia]

I am looking forward to an oped by Obama entitled “What America can learn from Zimbabwe.”

[HighlyOpinionated]

I just put this on a post card I’m mailing today to Rahm Emanuel.

Ezekiel 14:8
I will set my face against that man and make him an example and a byword. I will cut him off from my people. Then you will know that I AM the LORD.

In context it’s even scarier for a practicing Jew. [Ezekiel 14: 7 - 9]

[conejo99]

“If this is true, why do Democrats win so many elections? “

They promise to give away other people's money. These are self-described conservatives. That doesn't mean they are truly what you or I would consider a conservative.

[pogo101]

I agree, but I’m confident that as skilled an operator as he is, has made it known to Obama that he (Rahm) would not go both quietly AND alone.

[GladesGuru]

“...Olympian ambitions”

The Greek Gods were Chicago ghetto thugs? Who knew?

[PA-RIVER]

Rahm is probably now being paid more by Israel. There’s not a patriotic bone in Rahms body, much like the Kenyan Chief.

[Windflier]

"If this is true, why do Democrats win so many elections?"

The media is on their side.

And academia, and Hollywood, and the unions, and hundreds of charitable foundations, and the trial lawyers, and the Europeans, and the Saudis, and the Chinese, ad infinitum.

There are also strong character differences between liberals (radical redistributionists) and conservatives (normal people).

While conservatives tend to just want to live and let live, and focus their greatest energies on simply playing the game of life, liberals tend to meddle in the lives of others in an attempt to force them to live according to their own twisted ideals.

Using government as a tool to accomplish those ends is the natural path for many liberal ideologues, so on average, liberals have tended to be far more politically engaged than conservatives (who can usually be found just minding their own business).

Actually, Obama is trying to make “light work” illegal as its not part of his governemnt-run health care scheme.

So “light workers” are pretty much zapping THE WON these days.
