And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Right 2ndDivVet...
Major (Two Star) Gen. Harold Greene was killed Tuesday in one of the bloodiest insider attacks of the long Afghanistan war when a gunman dressed as an Afghan soldier turned on allied troops, wounding about 15 U.S. and coalition forces, including a German general and two Afghan generals.

How can anybody have listened to, voted for, approved of or even looked at candidate Obama?
“Still” support him? Many of us are proud to say we NEVER looked in his general direction.
Now people are upset? After 6 devastating years?
What is wrong with people?

“Cremains”? Short for cremated remains - Is that a new word?

Shelton put it later, “he’s cleaning up George Bush’s mess.”

How the Democrats Created the Financial Crisis: Kevin Hassett
With landmark lawsuit, Barack Obama pushed banks to give subprime loans to Chicago’s African-Americans
Bill Clinton blames Democrats for the mortgage mess
Unemployment sinks to 5-year low, Nov. 2006, before the Democrat controlled Congress replaced the GOP controlled Congress.

When Clinton took over, he took two years, but he solved it.

When Clinton took over it was already solved. The Cold War and its financial burden was over, the economy was already growing for over a year, and the Tech Boom was about to create plenty of jobs and tax revenue. Clinton had nothing to do with any of this, but he was in office when the payoff came, so he got the credit.

Mark Tapson hits the target that many have been discussing in quiet, private circles ...”What is psychologically wrong with the left?”

Many of my clients were and remain staunch 0bama supporters. It is an amazing thing to hear them talk about their savior, even when at least one of them has faced an 0bamacare denial of care for desperately needed back surgery. The rationalization is that someone else must need the medical treatment money more than themselves. So their forced pain, suffering, and taxation is normalized away as some sort of higher calling.

But, as conservatives know and understand, once a person takes over an office from someone who leaves or is fired, there is a short window of time to resolve the outstanding problems successfully. The keyword there is “successfully,” for if one is not successful one finds themselves getting the boot too. But with the left, they have been so ingrained with blaming failure on something else and/or everyone else, the cannot accept responsibility for their own actions, let alone assign blame to the President. They must at all costs avoid blaming a ...black man... for the woes of the nation and now, the world.

Instead, the will continue to be addicted to their political correctness to the point that assigning blame to what they perceive as a persecuted man/victim of the white world circumstances. They are enablers in the failure of this President’s policies for that whole branch of the democrat party has fallen into the dysfunctional affair with their own enabling delusions.

Personally, I think those who continue to support 0bama do so out of a place of guilt, their own low self-esteem, and the democrat party’s ability to manipulate them by using the all their race, gender, homo agendas.

I like to apply this conclusion from, Darlene Albury, LMSW, “Sometimes enabling takes the form of doing something for another that they should do for themselves. It also takes the form of making excuses for someone else’s behavior... You more than likely enable out of your own low self-esteem. You haven’t gained the ability to say no, without fear of losing the love or caring of that other person. People who learn tough love have to learn that their former behaviors have been enabling and that to continue in them would represent allowing the other person’s pattern of behavior to continue and to worsen.” The Democrat Party has preyed upon these people’s low self-esteem to the point they cannot separate themselves from the abusive relationship with the President.

Instead they need and crave the constant feedback from their big government ‘daddy.’ Why do they continue to support him? One only needs to look at the personal message played to the low self-esteem crowd in Cleveland this past weekend for the gay games. His words fed their low self-esteem. The very idea of having separate ‘gay games’ is a dysfunctional outgrowth of their own low self-esteem. Their own belief that the world cannot relate to them, their own desire to prove their good enough. Instead they choose to justify themselves through their own segregation and self adulations. They love this President because he fed their ego, he fed their dysfunction, he validated them.

This is why when we try to defend ourselves as being against the policies we’re defined as being racist. If one has dealt with an enabler or codependent, you quickly realize your normal reactions are a threat to that relationship. See the reaction described in the article, the visceral reaction, is by all normal accounts inconsistent with the conversation. This is not just a loyalist defense of 0bama, it is a defense of their own low self-esteem and insecurities.

Years ago we had the left feeding these young people the dose of ‘lack of self-esteem,’ the everybody wins, because we can’t have people feeling bad. They set them up, they groomed them and our children to never grow-up, mature, and develop healthy relationships with the world around them.

How can anyone stomach without throwing up,that fat,wig wearing frump,Luntz,and the unmitigated MORONS he puts on national television as average adults!
If that is the average adult is it any wonder we are where we are? Do you see any of these decrepid excuses for humanity leading us to any conclusion other than total destruction?
What a pathetic state the So called Greatest Nation on earth is in,you have got to be kidding me,this is not the Twilight zone,it is more One Flew over the cuckoo’s nest

“...every disaster, from the Lincoln assassination to a bad hair day...”

LOL!

I think the 40% approval rate shows very clearly the ongoing power of the MSM.

The LIVs don’t know Obama is a bad president because the media isn’t telling them that, day after day, story after story.

If he were getting the coverage he deserves, the coverage he would get if he had an R after his name, his approval would be in the low 20s, where is should be.

Don’t blame Luntz: it’s the American people who are too uninformed to be polled.

Very true, but try convincing the American people. You can't.

“Shelton” said he believes Obama “is doing an excellent job, considering the circumstances in which he took the office, and all the things piled on his desk.”........

The only thing “piled on his desk” (which is ours by the way, not his) are his damn feet.

Barack Obama,”George Bush took out a loan from the Bank Of China in the name of our children and grand children,he increased our debt 4 trillion dollars,it is irresponsible,it is unpatriotic!”
That debt increased to 10 trillion dollars,4 trillion under Bush in eight years,remember,he drove us into a ditch?
Well smart asses,the great Obama has increased the debt to 17 trillion in less than 6 years,for democrats that is 7 trillion increase under Obama. My contention from the start is that Obama was not complaining about Bush spending to much but that he was not spending enough but the suckers in this country thought he meant the opposite.
So when you run into a brain dead liberal ask them about that statement from Obama,about being driven into a ditch and them complaining about it and how Obama is cleaning up that mess

As long as zero is using OUR $$$$ to play Santa Claus he will have some supporters.
The $$$ probably won't run out until he is gone. Then whoever takes over will have one hell of a job explaining that the freebies are OVER! ! ! ! !

The hard liners are still blaming Reagan for the economics problems we have today.
