There is every reason to be deeply skeptical of President Obama’s prospects in November.
Republicans feel an understandable anxiety about Mr. Obama’s coming campaign: It will be all slice and dice, divide and conquer, break the country into little pieces and pick up as many as you can.
But it still matters that the president doesn’t have a coherent agenda, or a political philosophy that is really clear to people. To the extent he has a philosophy, it tends to pop up furtively in stray comments and then go away. This is to a unique degree a presidency of inference, its overall meaning never vividly declared. In some eras, that may be a plus. In this one?
Republicans are worried about the power of incumbency, and it is a real power. Presidents command the airwaves, as they used to say. If they want to make something the focus of national discussion, they usually can, at least for a while. And this president is always out there, talking. But—and forgive me, because what I’m about to say is rude—has anyone noticed how boring he is? Plonking platitude after plonking platitude. To see Mr. Obama on the stump is to see a man at the podium who’s constantly dribbling away the punch line. He looks pleasant but lacks joy; he’s cool but lacks vigor.

Noonan, huh? Wasn’t she one of those “Obama can’t be as bad as those TEA partiers are saying he is” crowd?
And she has been an apologist for the pretender, too.
The votes will be counted in Spain by a Soros owned company.
What could go wrong?
This woman has no credibility left...she’s crawling back to the Right.
Holder’s protection oh the New Black Panthers and their antics in 2010 insures that there will be armed thugs at a lot of polling places and likely some more direct intimidation. What could go wrong?
It's pretty clear to me...
“All of this looks so bush league, so scattered. Add it to the General Services Administration, to Solyndra, to the other scandals, and you get a growing sense that no one’s in charge, that the administration is paying attention to politics, but not day-to-day governance.”
He was never in charge of anything before so why now? Seriously anyone (yes you Noonan)who thought he could lead is an idiot.

To counter this force, the Republicans will have money, massive amounts of money. The money will not come from nickles and dimes from a web site, it will come in massive bank drafts from the business community, both foreign and domestic.
Obama is universally considered a force for bad business. The power of massive and continuous destructive messages will crucify the Messiah and he will not rise.
His original money backers will be at the foot of his cross damning his name.
Four years ago he was the greatest speaker a liberal had ever heard.
Keep your eyes on Wisconsin. If June goes as I hope it will (a resounding SLAP! against the Dem union thugs) then I will hold out hope for November. If not....time to put the prepper plans in high gear.
She’s got a lot of making up to do.
It's amazing what trillions in debt and massive unemployment will do to a person's ears.
But it still matters that [Romney] doesn’t have a coherent agenda, or a political philosophy that is really clear to people. To the extent he has a philosophy, it tends to pop up furtively in stray comments and then go away... has anyone noticed how boring [Noonan] is? Plonking platitude after plonking platitude...looks pleasant but lacks joy...lacks vigor.
Shocking to those paying attention. To those that start paying attention between now and November, it will be startling as well. Shocking in the sense that, yes, Marxism, Leninism... even Stalinism can, could, would, and just may take hold here in the good 'ol USA. There is even a contingent of folks who won't be shocked till the latter happens, unfortunately.

Have you seen this — she’s such a fake...beyond her plastic surgery...every time that woman speaks is like needles piercing my ears...
That scenario seems quite likely.
Ears work like Pinocchio’s for the same reason.
Like unions there was a time and a place for affirmative action. I’m going to get flamed for that statement. The problem is this country,once it embarks on a social course of action is incapable of saying that’s enough. People get entrenched. Special interest groups build up and politicians see votes.
Just once i’d like us to say here’s a problem. Lets fix it. Nobody will make a career of it or get wealthy exploiting it. Just a little finality. Of course saying that will bring about a chorus of you hate the working man or you’re racist using the 2 examples above.
