John Podesta predicts White House 'soul-searching'

By: Andy Barr September 7, 2010 11:55 AM EDT

John Podesta, the president of the Center for American Progress and leader of Barack Obama’s presidential transition team, expects to see some “soul-searching” and “changes” in the White House after November’s election.

With Democrats expected to lose dozens of seats in the midterms – and possibly control of Congress – Podesta believes Obama will have make changes to adapt to the new political environment.

“After November you'll see some soul-searching and some changes particularly in the way that he's talked to the American people and really communicated particularly I think with the business community,” Podesta said Tuesday morning on MSNBC.

“You'll see I think at least a willingness to kind of listen to ideas to move forward with people,” he added. “And you know, I think that the president does level with people. He's pretty straight-forward about what he thinks works, what he thinks doesn't.”

Please understand....the little tin god will be instructed by his handlers as to how to "react" to the new world after Nov, 2010 (assuming that there will - in fact - BE a new world).

This is particularly easy since the little tin god has no stand on anything, is amoral, and empy headed.

All his handlers have to do is put the words on his teleprompter, and "presto-chango"...a "new and improved" little tin god!!

See?? Wasn't that easy?

"He's pretty straight-forward about what he thinks works, what he thinks doesn't.”

AND HE IS WRONG!

““soul-searching” and “changes”?
Marxist dog should be tied to a tree.

A little boy says to his mother, “Mommy, how come I’m black and you’re white?”

His mother replied, “Barack, don’t even go there! From what I can remember about that party, you’re lucky you don’t bark!”

It always comes down that with these people. It could never be that they're just plain wrong. It's always because we're just stupid, and didn't get it. So now they'll just have to repackage the message for the knuckle-dragging mouth breathers. Maybe if they could resurrect Mr. Rogers..."would you be my neighbor?" Can you say "condescending," boys and girls?

That's the crux of the entire issue. What Obama thinks will work, doesn't.

He may change the ‘way he talks to the American people’, but it will be all lies. He’s a die hard commie and he’ll lie, cheat, or steal to push his sick plans for this country.

How can you tell if it's 0bama?

He turns around 3 times before sitting on the toilet.

In other words, look for Obama and Journolists to try and pin anything they can on Republicans.

But this does beg the question, why did Obama and the Democrats believe they could thwart the American people in the first place? I'll tell you one thing, they NEVER could have gotten this far without the unflinching support of the corrupt MSM.

If Hussein wants to search his soul, he’ll have to get Beelzebub’s permission first.

The idea that this guy is going to engage in any “soul searching” is absurd. His massive self-regard does not allow for him to consider the possibility that his ways are wrong or could be improved. Has this guy ever shown even the tiniest sign of introspection????

More BS propaganda from a Soros mouthpiece.

makes sense. in order for Clinton to stay in office, he tapped the brakes and took a rightward turn. I’m not sure the kenyan has that in him, I feel he’ll slam on the gas instead of the brakes. Podesta might be a disgusting, detestable human being but he knows what he’s talking about and I hope Obama ignores him..
