Double Downer For Obama At Washington Post: Milbank and Marcus Say It's Ov-ah
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/16/2013 4:33:27 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Somebody cue the Debbie Downer horn. How bad are things for President Obama? In recent days, the Washington Post has brought us a double-barreled downer blast from two pundits who normally support the president.

All you need to know about Dana Milbank's and Ruth Marcus' columns you can glean from their respective final sentences, which read: "Maybe the president does understand that the game is over." And "Can he recover? I’m sorry to say: I’m not at all confident." Wah-wah, indeed!

More here.

Obama ain’t over til Letterman gets up off his knees wipes his mouth and cracks a joke about him. When that happens Obama is done.

Most people end up hating their dictator, but that doesn’t mean he is going anywhere. He controls the voting booth and never loses even when he is hated.

"Yes, I know me and all the Dems said if you like
your plan, you keep your plan. But what we meant was"...

"You dumb selfish, Americans made responsible choices to get
insurance plans that fit YOUR needs....plans I decreed to be
subpar. Now, all of us tolerant and compassionate Democrats are
gonna screw you bigtime---you lose your coverage and your
doctors because only “fairness” counts with socialist/liberals---
not your miserable, greedy needs."

The meme will soon evolve: "OK, we didn't realize how much Obama was just in this for himself...but Hillary, now, she cares. She's the real deal."

‘Like Your Plan, Keep Your Plan’ Was A Hillary Creation; Phrase appears on Clinton’s 2007 campaign website
BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff---November 15, 2013

It was Hillary Clinton that originally coined the now problematic “like your plan, keep your plan” talking point that President Barack Obama relied on during his fight for Obamacare.

On Clinton’s 2007 campaign website, unearthed by America Rising, it is written that that under Hillary’s American Health Choices Plan, “if you have a plan you like, you keep it.”

Now, the Clinton camp has been distancing itself from Obamacare as its problems become more apparent to the American people. Bill Clinton came out earlier this week to call for Obama to honor the commitment he made that people should be able to keep their health care plans. Top Clinton aide John Podesta took to twitter yesterday suggesting a single payer health care system as an alternative to Obamacare.

CAPTION Hillary (above) in 2007, saying: “You can keep the doctors you know and trust. You keep the insurance you have. If you have private insurance you like, nothing changes, you can keep that insurance.”

“Most people end up hating their dictator, but that doesn’t mean he is going anywhere.”..........

Ever heard the old saying, “you’re going to hell if you don’t change your ways”?.

Guess that about tells it but I wish odumbo would expedite his journey.

Never underestimate the staying power of a politician who controls the purse strings. Especially if he controls the military and the capability to engage in foreign affairs.

John Madden, Don Meridith, Howard Cosell were very good commentators and fun to listen to. The commentators today are about as exciting as talking with a CPA about your taxes.

The one thing that I find truly the most discouraging about this whole fiasco, so discouraging that it gives me a feeling of physical illness sometimes is the way that so many people fell for this sham. Americans by and large are stupid, that is the only word that applies, anyone who really paid attention should have known the instant that people in the federal government started talking about “healthcare reform” that is did not mean what you would like it to mean. a competent smith can “reform” a twisted piece of metal and make a useful item out of it but he can EVEN MORE EASILY “reform” a useful item into something twisted and useless. Americans no longer understand language, they think “change” only means good change. I have heard people claim that Obama failed to deliver the “change” that he promised. Excuse me but hell, no he didn’t! I can recite negatives about him all day but the biggest thing I despise is how he KEPT HIS PROMISE TO DELIVER CHANGE, the problem is the idiots who voted for him thinking change had to be a good thing. As far as all that “hope” goes it can also be good or bad depending on what someone is hoping for, if people had paid attention they would have realized he was hoping to wreck this country.

Obama and his cohort of demons are NOT THE CAUSE, they are the symptom, the disease causing these symptoms is stupidity brought on by apathy.

“Obama ain’t over til Letterman ... cracks a joke about him. When that happens Obama is done.”

But who would know? Does Letterman still have an audience?

Nice rant----it is truly appalling how this creep can lie w/out batting an eyelash.

Underlines my belief----liberals should never ever be allowed near power.

B/c liberals worship power---they will do or say anything to get it---and hold onto it.

Obama shows signs of being power-mad---he forgets America is not a corrupt Third World----we have laws and a Constitution.
