White House Insider onObama: “the President is Losing It.”

A longtime Washington D.C. insider, and former advisor to the Obama election campaign and transition team, speaks out on an administration in crisis, and a president increasingly withdrawn from the job of President.

2008 gave America an incredibly charismatic candidate for President of the United States. Speech after speech showed a candidate with increasing momentum as primary race after primary race concluded. And then came the nomination, more speeches, culminating in an election night victory.

According to the person sitting across from me, those were incredibly exciting times, even for one who had been a participant with three previous presidential hopefuls. Barack Obama appeared to move from one city to the next effortlessly, gaining confidence and motivation with each campaign stop. He was remarkable to watch. He took the script, elevated it with his oration, left the crowds screaming for more, and then would do it all over again, time after time after time. On the campaign trail, Obama is a machine.

Just a private moment dancing on the beach. ;)

That gets him interested. You start talking about Congress, or some policy, and he just kinda turns off. It’s really very strange. I mean, we were all led to believe that this guy was some kind of intellectual giant, right? Ivy League and all that. Well, that is not what I saw. Barack Obama doesn’t have a whole lot of intellectual curiosity. When he is off script, he is what I call a real “slow talker”. Lots of ummms, and lots of time in between answers where you can almost see the little wheel in his head turning very slowly. I am not going to say the president is a dumb man, because he is not, but yeah, there was a definite letdown when you actually hear him talking without the script.

To use a bowling analogy, anybody can throw nine straight strikes to start off a game, but can you stand up in the 10th and throw three more to finish it off?

From the way it sounds, Obama's life in the next two years is going to be as pleasant as most of impeached ex-President Clinton's second term. That Is Good.

As little as we know about his pampered life as we do, it sounds like he's never, ever had to face any adversity. Should be interesting.

The plan was to increase their control of the House and Senate this year.

I find that most difficult to believe unless he really is surrounded by a bunch of idiots with no knowledge of the US or our history. The party in the White House always loses seats in the first mid term election. Always.

Makes the AnnointedIdiot’s revealing concession of “above my paygrade” even more prophetic.......=.=

I think GWB bucked that trend in 2002, but it is very rare.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the major stress he suffers caused by the birth certificate matter.

His campaign for a second term, if there is one, will be hellish.

Unreal.

Wonder why MO is such a touchy subject. Hmm ...

But I don’t waht to see it

From link:

Once again we have the privilege of speaking with someone from within the Obama team – a former member of the Obama campaign and transition team, and longtime Washington DC political insider. This is the follow up to our original discussion that took place a few weeks ago.

So who is to blame? We all are. By we I mean those of us who were working within the party power structure the last ten years or so. We got so caught up in the hate Bush mentality, we let the party get hijacked by our own far left. That was disaster the moment it happened. The disaster that will be the midterm election in 2010 started in November of 2006 when Pelosi and Reid took over the Democrat Party. Those two have only brought trouble to the Democrat Party since day one of that time.

John Podesta? Definately a Clinton lover, and was in charge of the transition.

Here’s the part 2 just in case no one has linked it yet:

Daley?

He took the script, elevated it with his oration, left the crowds screaming for more, and then would do it all over again, time after time after time. On the campaign trail, Obama is a machine.

I was able to watch a couple of Ubanga's speeches during the campaign and wondered what all the hoopla was about. I was thoroughly unimpressed. I suppose the rats were just excited to finally see a "clean" African American candidate, as Biden put it.

[Lancey Howard]

And he ran out of steam part way. He crawled across the finish line for the nomination, and had to be carried from there to the general election by the lapdog media.

Michelle was greeted mainly by sychophant media types in Madison.

By the time Bark Ubama himself got to Green Bay, there weren't even enough union mice to fill the seats.

I'm sayin this article is legit.

Everything in it we have seen and know is true.

The only difference is that the 'insider' actually thought that Obama was a good campaigner, a good speaker, and charismatic.

That indicates that he really is a Dem who has soured on his god because he found out the truth.....that he's a lazy, selfish, ill-tempered little boy who isn't all that bright.

Whoever this is should have asked US first. It would have saved him the disappointment. :)
