Unforced Errors Are Sinking Obama
This time around, Obama has an inescapable, virtually across-the-board record of dismal performance. Despite that, it seems that this might be his election to lose if it weren’t for the fact that the gaffes and blunders keep coming, both from the incumbent himself and his once thought unstoppable campaign handlers. Additionally and ominously for Team Obama, either more people are paying attention, or his opposition is getting a lot better at messaging — or both.
When it’s over, should he lose, it’s likely that historians will identify Obama’s “the private sector is doing just fine” assertion as the moment it all started to come undone. Two weeks after his ignorant utterance, a YouGov.com poll of “citizens” (i.e., not even of registered or likely voters) showed that 47% of Americans not only knew about it, but could also recite it. A liberal poli sci prof tried to frame this result as evidence that it really didn’t matter. Who does he think he was kidding? In a country where at most 20% can be described as following the news and current events closely, 47% penetration in two weeks is astonishingly high. Mitt Romney, his campaign, and the Republican Party have over four months left to get to most of the other 53%. As long as they continue their current aggressive posture, they probably will.
Obama’s campaign, supposedly run by the greatest political strategists ever to walk the earth, is adding to the pile with especially galling offense.
Did you know that if you’re getting married, graduating, or celebrating some other important life event, you can sign up at the Obama campaign’s “Event Registry” and ask those who were planning to buy you congratulatory gifts to instead send the money to Dear Leader’s reelection campaign? Has there even been a more breathtakingly crass campaign fundraising tactic?
Last week, the financially struggling, Democrat-dominated town of Durham, New Hampshire, asked the Obama campaign to reimburse it for the $20,000 in extra expenses it anticipated running up during an impending campaign stop. That’s probably far less than the cost of one of the White House’s frequent opulent parties. Despite the fact that the Granite State is sure to be hotly contested, and that a few hundred alienated former supporters might end up being the difference between winning and losing, the campaign refused. An anonymous donor defused the situation; memories will surely linger.
The press still carries Obama’s water. Last week, the Associated Press, aka the Administration’s Press, tried to portray Romney as the one haunted by gaffes. But if that’s the case, why are media members desperately fabricating them, as NBC’s Andrea Mitchell unapologetically did with a misleadingly edited portrayal of Romney’s visit to a Wawa sandwich shop designed to make him look out of touch? An attendee who was recording exposed Mitchell’s dishonesty, showing yet again that the fourth estate has, thank goodness, lost presumptively exclusive control of the narrative. Moreover, media apparatchiks are learning that covering for a candidate is far easier than it is for an incumbent.
Unforced errors, unmistakable signs of desperation (which seems to have grown since last Thursday’s outrageous ObamaCare ruling at the Supreme Court), and transparently counterproductive pandering betray Team Obama’s near panic about the president’s reelection prospects. May they therefore continue.
If it sounds like Karl Marx, acts like Benito Mussolini, lies like Joe Izzusu, vacations like he thinks he and his wife are King Louie and Maria Antoinette, attracts followers eerily reminiscent of those attracted by Jim Jones, and stumbles like Bozo the Clown, it’s probably Barack Obama!!!
Or his ‘COMPOSITE” alter ego, you know like the ones he ‘INVENTED’ for his laughingly called Autobiography ‘Dreams’, Barry HUSSEIN Soetero Kardashian America’s first Gay, Muslim, Celebrity, Unqualified, Inefficient , Communist, Gaffe Prone, LYING, USURPER President.
As a skip tracer accidentally learned, he even bought his house under a fake name – Harrison J. Bounel. This guy is the talented Mr. Ripley.
Without the “talent”.
Priceless!
I hope the mockery and the gaffes are comforting to you all. Meanwhile, Obama is still ahead in the polls. RCP has him ahead in several critical battleground states. The evidently oblivious American voter still thinks the guy is just swell. As long as that continues to be the case, it’s difficult for me to get too optimistic over his gaffes and goofs and flopping and floundering. I’ve always seen him as a poseur, incompetent and preposterously unqualified. The fact that even many of my supposedly educated friends can’t or won’t see through him causes me to weep for the prospects of the republic.
Victor I agree. All my favorite conservative blogs and sites keep beating the drum that the wheels are coming of Obama’s cart. Obama is about to self-destruct, etc. But the polls show him ahead in 10 out of 12 swing states and even up 2 pts in the national results….so what gives?
When do all these Obama fluffs and screw-ups bring his numbers down? He just endured the worst month imaginable, and yet, he’s ahead…I’m scared to think where he would be if he had a GOOD month!
I hope the numbers stay right where they are. I personally believe the wheels are coming off the cart, but if the poll numbers were to indicate a slam dunk for the GOP then I fear the teapartiers might stay home (and avoid possible violence?) come election day.
SteveHorth sez: I hope the numbers stay right where they are. I personally believe the wheels are coming off the cart, but if the poll numbers were to indicate a slam dunk for the GOP then I fear the teapartiers might stay home (and avoid possible violence?) come election day.
***************
I agree, SteveHorth. Let Obama & Co. think they will win in a landslide. In addition, if they think they are losing, their Voter Fraud Squad will work overtime. As to why the Historical One’s poll numbers continue to be high in spite of gaffes, etc., I believe those being polled want to avoid being accused of racism if they truthfully say they don’t like the guy or what he’s doing. I can see where they would just give the safer answer: “Oh,yeah, I think he’s great, and I’m voting for him.” and then doing the opposite in the privacy of the voting booth.
None of this matters if the great unwashed out here do not know it and realize the implications ..
Obama is trying to act like a good ole boy these days,,hahaing here and hahaing there, he’s so full of bull…AND the media still loves him and his forked tongue…
If the young people and people that vote for skin color don’t wake up before the election…thanks to them and a few million illegal aliens and dead people…Obama will win again
Dear Leader might make a start at improving his political fortunes if he replaces David Axelrod as chief campaign strategist with a more likeable, more sympathetic media expert. Might I suggest Herr Julius Striecher?
How about Leni Riefenstahl?
No, wait – she’s dead. But still, an improvement.
Well, Streicher was hanged at Nuremberg.
Besides, while Riefenstahl was at most a Nazi fellow-traveler with no conscience about her projects, Streicher was the most virulent and odious of Nazi propagandists, his Der Sturmer setting the gold standard of obscene anti-semitism to which all Muslim presses aspire.
I think the name you are all searching your brains for is Goebbels – Hitlers propaganda mastermind. The Dems and Blacks don’t need a Jew hating Julius Streicher to teach them they are ALREADY antisemites. They even have their own tame self hating Jewish ‘Kapos’ in the tank for them.
If unforced errors are sinking Obama, why is he ahead in the polls? When is this crushing collection of gaffes, missteps and crassness supposed to start sinking him? If the economy hasn’t sunk him, if Fast and Furious hasn’t sunk him, if Obamacare hasn’t sunk him, why should we still be confidently waiting for him to do himself in? Wouldn’t pundits be better off spending their time telling Romney how to sharpen up his campaing, and turn it into a smart and aggressive one that has a chance of winning?
This election is not about Romney, and it is not about Obama. It will be a demonstration of an electorate determinedly divided by opposing, seemingly unreconcilable philosophies/ideologies/DOGMAS. Are blacks and latinos so invested in the victim narrative that they can’t see the truth about Obama’s lack of good character? Are conservatives so invested in their own victim narrative that they will not credit Romney with showing far more good character than Obama? This country is like Pauline (as in “The Perils of Pauline”), tied to the railroad tracks as the train draws ever nearer (with “Obama wins again!” painted on its side). The only hero around to save her is Romney, who is badmouthed like he was “slow walkin’ Jones”, almost too slow to get the job done. And of course the townsfolk (those who should be supporting Romney, by dint of their realization of just what Obama is, and how bad that has been, and will continue to be as long as he is in any office at all, much less the Presidency) are no help, just looking out their windows and making smart-aleck remarks. Will slow-walkin’, slow talkin’ Jones rescue our heroine (the U.S.A.)? Well, guess what, it’s not up to him after all; it’s up to all those lily-livered townsfolk, who live right there by the railroad tracks, and can just walk right out there and untie the ropes that bind Pauline/America, just in the nick of time (that would be next November 6th). So put on your magical mental armor, or hair shirt or whatever bucks you up inside, and feel the glow of assurance that Romney/Jones will make it to the church–er, railroad track–on time, fustest with the mostest. Laugh at that wheezing steam-kettle of a train, in the bright light of mental clarity, and think about maybe you’ll go kick it off those little toy tracks yourself, if need be. Pauline is OUR girl, not Obama’s. He can’t have her–and he won’t.
Loved this post! Amen Mr. Huffman, mount up.
Thank you! I am depressed daily when explaining what Obama has done to our Country. Usually, I am just reminded that I’m against the half black man.
Hope you don’t mind if I use your post in another blog. Won’t use your name, but will refer to this site. OK?
All we ask at this point is Mitt acts like a winner, takes his feet out of his mouth, and his staff…then stops that ingratiating smile about everything!!! did i say everything????
It depends on which poll you’re talking about. Most of the ones I’ve seen with Obama holding a lead have highly suspect samples, ie oversampling Democrats with a higher percentage than what turned out in 2008, let alone 2010. And they aren’t even LV polls.
Given how this economy is going, I wouldn’t trust ANY poll showing Obama with any kind of lead at all. Sadly, polls are used less often for informative purposes these days than for spin and propoganda.
…and Jimmy Carter was supposed to be “neck and neck” with Ronnie right up until the counting was over.
Why would anyone believe anything the lamestream media says anymore? Look about you. Outside the fever swamps America is mighty pissed at Barack Obama. Romney may not be a guarantee of much, but as an honorable human being, he stands mountains above the Kenyan.
Also, we have been “blacked” and “latinoed” to death. White males are still the largest demographic, and they are extremely dissatisfied with Ostupid, to say the least. Just as the number of gays always in the media and on TV would make you think they are a sizable minority, they comprise approximately 3% of the populace. It’s pretty pathetic that they wield the power they do. Remember that the next time someone elects a gay Congressman and tells you it doesn’t matter. It’s funny how us white homophobic, anti-latino and anti-black voters keep electing gays, latinos and blacks. We must REALLY be RACIST! It must be us, because there ain’t enough of them. Not if we show up.
The only way Obama wins this time is by stealing the vote, just like last time. This we must prevent by ANY means necessary. Or we may be looking at Civil War II.
Even the panel on FNC Special Report follows the lead of the New York Times and WaPo and argues issues from the starting point of the liberal agenda.They have been fixated for a week on the “important” question of whether ObamaCare is a tax or a penalty, as if anyboy outside DC cares. People in the heartland want it canned. Today they refused to comment on the latest gaffe by the Obama campaign, using a campaign bus built in Canada to travel to Ohio to blast Romney about outsourcing. They also quote obviously biased polls that oversample Democrats and don’t use likely voters. Polls showing Obama losing doesn’t fit the DC/NY lib media narrative that Obama is doing great.
The problem isn’t whether it is a tax or a penalty. The problem is that the executive is simultaneously defying the Supreme Court’s right to interpret the law and the Congress’ right to investigate and legislate. Obama is asserting supremacy over both co-equal branches.
Because unless the MSM decides to “run” with an issue, it really never sees the light of day. Or put another way, there is no controversy or doubt or “issues” unless the media decides to make it so.
And they will not; pretty simple really.
Obama won 4 years back because of media support; they literally suppressed anything about Obama that could be negative.
And it will be even worse this time.
Goebbels – Hitler’s propaganda minister – did not have it this good; he had to “un-employ” any news person that did not tow the company line. Ditto for Castro, Lenin, Honnecker, Ceaucescu, etc.
Here in the USA, maybe for the first time in American or even world history, we have a “self -censoring” news media; intentionally and purposefully the propaganda arm of government.
If you wonder how sentient, productive human beings can vote for, literally, a Marxist tyrant like Obama, just look to the MSM for the reason.
I agree. I looked at the list of errors here, and it’s impressive all right, but Mr. Blumer seems to have overlooked the “sinking” part. Something in the last sentence about evidence of near panic in his campaign, but I’d like to see that supported better, too.
Unfortunately Joe Cor,there are still many STUPID people in this country that buys Obama’s LIES and FALSE PROMISES, and BLACKS that vote for Obama ONLY because he is BLACK. Being a GREAT GANGSTER MANIPULATOR, Obama take full advantage of those morons. Obama is the most dangerous man whose charisma can be compered only to the HITLER’s charisma.
Joe Cor You are absolutely right. My thoughts exactly. This talk of Obama’s vulnerability is wishful thinking, and can lose us the election. Romney has got to get a focused message out. So far he hasn’t. I could present a program for a health insurance system that is far more focused than anything he has come up with. He has been nominated. Now he has to galvanize his campaign. Maybe getting rid of some of advisory campaign staff might be in order. We can win this election if we do it right. Never mind running on Obama’s obvious failures; come up with good plans for the economy and health care and get the message out.
Who says he’s actually ahead in the polls? The media are lying to us left and right now. They also say the private sector is just fine, the stock market yawned when ObamaCare passed, people are paying less money for healthcare and the unemployment rate is going down. I believe he and his media drones are lying their little a**es off in order to change public opinion.
And you believe he’s ahead in the polls because? Oh, that’s right, because those media driven polls keep saying so; and we all know they would never lie or distort.
No they are the truest of the true like Ford gas tanks exploding or George Bush vs who was the newscaster about his military stint? Or could I add that the economy is now headed in the right direction (what into the toilet?) and unemployment although higher than expected (a talking point) it is improving (over what?)
Conclusion we need a new president and congress and less liberals running around and telling us what is good for us. I am well armed and willing to fix things if necessary, but I will first vote and if trouble comes around then I can handle myself and family as well!
You are correct sir, we can not count on unforced errors to turn the trick, Romney needs to grow a pair and come out fighting, he also needs some coherent, cogent, ideas and plans to convince the voters that he really can make a difference. We who do follow the events of the day, know that anybody but Obama is crucial, the great masses will need to be reached and convinced. Lets hope Romney is a fast learner.
Obama defeated McCain in 2008 for a number of reasons, but not the least of them was this one: He succeeded in concealing nearly every aspect of his background that could be used against him by the opposition.
When Democrats conduct opposition research, they manage to ferret out details about their target’s past that even the poor target has forgotten. When Republicans do it, not only do they refrain from using their most potent discoveries; in many cases they’re prevented from making those discoveries in the first place, whether by the collusion of the media, or by uncooperative institutions, or by implied threats of lawfare.
We still don’t know how a mediocre high school student made it into Occidental and then Columbia, became editor of the Harvard Law Review despite never having written a single article for it, and acquired a reputation as the brainiest president ever to sit in the Oval Office. We may never know.
I don’t know about others, but I only needed two things to see through Obama: 1) The way Pelosi and Reid, the Democratic leadership, paraded Obama on their shoulders, as it were, while working against Hillary Clinton in the primaries, and 2) Obama’s execrable handling of “Rev.” Wright, which showed his lying lack of character plainly, but was simply paved over by the media and an electorate unwilling to pierce the myth, and simply SEE what was going on before their own eyes (it was not concealed, it was simply dismissed, ignored). Everything else that has come out about Obama since has just added to what was already sure, if people had just been willing to open their eyes to it.
President. President of the Harvard Law Review. Not editor. Big difference.
What are the differences?
I’m with Joe Cor on this topic: all the advantages remain with Obama. Most people don’t care about politics or ideology. Their interests involve the popular culture and they form their political opinions based on the MSM or recommendations from their “heroes” (actors, singers, atheletes, etc.) And these folks vote.
Consider: NONE of Obama’s gaffes are even reported in the MSM, much less trumpeted as were McCain’s and now Romney’s. Most people (according to polls) STILL blame Bush and the Republicans for the economic down-turn. According to polls, NO ONE (outside of politically aware conservatives) is aware or cares about Fast and Furious or Solyndra, much less Obama’s bogus autobiography.
Now after the Supreme Court ruled Obamacare constitutional, the Democrats and their enablers are trumpeting that EVERYONE GETS FREE HEALTH CARE PAID FOR BY TAXING EVIL RICH GUYS! If Obama is re-elected, of course.
We lost the culture years ago, and now we pay for our inattention. Prepare for even darker times ahead.
All well and good, but so long as Romney has a bunch of “well liked and close associates” who act like a bunch of rope-a-dopes running his campaign [no, it's not a tax it's a penalty] then he will join President John Kerry and President John McCain on the loser’s list. Romney must kick into a higher gear now and take off the gloves. 0 and team most certainly have and, drawing on their man Goebbels, know that a lie no matter how outrageous told often enough will be believed.
I think he does it on purpose. It makes him seem more like a regular Joe. Everybody makes mistakes right? And if you pound on him too hard, it makes the right look like a bully. Remember these guys have studied Psychological Warfare extensively. They know what they’re doing.
Remember a week ago, when pretty much all of us believed there was no way the individual mandate would survive in any way, shape, or form the SCOTUS ruling? Yeah.
I’m not guaranteeing 0bama’s defeat, much less celebrating it, until it is official. A few reasons why, starting with quotes from the article:
“Second, a determined lapdog press covered up, downplayed, and excused the candidate’s every move.”
“Third, much of the country was completely convinced that the recession was entirely the fault of George W. Bush and Republicans.”
The press is still a staunch 0bama ally, and a lot of people will still think that if their favorite team doesn’t win the World Series this fall, it is All Bush’s Fault.
Factor in a built-in base of about 40% of the electorate (an overlapping coalition of union members, career welfare recipients, “intelligentsia”, and about 12% of the population who votes based on racial allegiance), and 0bama doesn’t have to do much to get the electoral votes he needs.
Over-confidence is as much an enemy of fiscal conservatives and small government advocates in this election as is 0bama himself.
Speak for yourself.
I’m quite unimpressed with the many conservatives I see here and on other conservative sites who are beating their chests as if the election were already over and Obama had lost.
Grow up, people. Did you never learn the lesson about counting chickens?
I noted those same lines in the article, and I think the first item on the list is still in play as well, Romney with his ” its all good”smile and mister nice guy affect looks as if he will outdo McCains act by far.
Romney should not kick into high gear now. If you attack for 4 months, you will be tuned out by the media (and the populace) with “he’s been saying that for months, where is his fresh material?” The election doesn’t start until Labor Day. Keep your powder dry, build up a solid, sure, steady-as-you go campaign. You will not know who you are running against until the Democrat Convention, Biden will probably dumped for a headline grabber. All that had gone before will be forgotten and you have to start fresh when the Democrat ticket is announced.
Keep the game close until the 4th quarter and then come at them with everything you have. To hell with the conservative pundits who want fresh meat everyday to keep you tuning in and reading them. Romney knows what he is doing, let him do it.
Exactly! Forcefully counter lies and lines of attack, as Mitt is doing quite well, keep the focus on the economy, exemplify character in action (he is without question a man of integrity) and keep your powder dry. He will hit very hard in the home stretch. Mitt didn’t become the exceptional CEO of Bain and the Olympics by being unprepared or by shrinking in the face of a tough fight. If anything he steels for the fight and is unrelenting in making things work. Don’t forget either than he is still “collecting data,” which will be an essential part of the final sell. Mitt will be a great president.
Have you ever wondered how many of these “oh, I feel so pesimistic, what’s the use, prepare for dark times ahead” posters on the internet are nothing but roving trolls desperately trying to infect our readers with their tripe?
The righteous indignation of true Americans will not be pushed aside.
Man up, pass the word and get involved.
And send the community organizer back to where he came from.
I do agree that we need to “man up, pass the word and get involved”, as Barry is not going to beat himself, whatever some people think.
However, I consider myself a realist, and I think you need to understand that there is a difference between “pessimism” and “realism”.
If the American people always got it right (the “optimistic” viewpoint), Soetoro never would have been elected in the first place.
To put it another way, is there anything in my first post on this thread that is factually incorrect? Do you believe, for instance, that the MSM is not in obama’s corner? Am I wrong to say that 40% of the electorate is already going to vote for Barry no matter what he says or does? Are there not a lot of people out there still buying the “Blame Bush For Everything” line?
The last thing we need is for people to think that all Romney has to do to win is “run out the clock” and let 0bama bury himself with unforced errors, which is the implication of the original article.
Correct Sir. Bad things do happen to good countries. Romney cant depend on Obamas screw-ups or mismanagenent to win. Aggressiveness with intelligence is needed NOW.
Yup. Over-confidence never won any battles.
No, I want to see him sent to prison… in Mexico. Accessory before the fact in over 200 murders.
In light of the ruling on immigration, the amnesty for illegal immigrants and the Supreme Court’s decision effectively justifying Obama’s healthcare imposition, the author and all other contributors need think twice before expressing confidence in a defeated Obama. The election is not yet.
Had the SCOTUS buried Obama Care, Romney would have not been able to campaign on repealing it. Now people know ObalmaCare will not go by itself: if they want it out and there are far more people want it out than peole wanting to keep it they have no choice but vote against Obama.
“President Barack Obama’s gaffes, tone-deaf statements, and inadvertent betrayals of his elitist true beliefs now arrive with such frequency that they leave one wondering if he’s deliberately trying to lose — until one recalls that he was the same way four years ago.”
Huh? What are you talking about? I was watchin’ Ellen the other day and she’s great! She’s so funny! She’s voting’ for Obama. And we’re gonna get more free health care thanks to Obama. Least that’s what I heard. I like Democrats. The Republicans always run some rich guy. I forget his name but I don’t like him. My little girl’s teacher said that we need Obama to get elected again. Those rich Republicans will take away my benefits. I usually don’t vote but they say I can this year and they’ll fix it so I can. I’m gonna! I like Obama. Did you see me on TV. They stopped me when I was lightin’ my cigarette when I was leavin’ the casino. The guy talked to me and asked for my opinion. I really told him! He said I was an average voter even though I haven’t voted before. I will now! Oh, did you say Obama has a giraffe? I didn’t know that! Oh, did you see the fireworks? My little girl loved them. In told her that’s why they have the fourth of July. For the fireworks!
Sadly, you are spot-on.
It’s got electrolytes! I hope the Democrat van doesn’t take too long at the store getting us our smokes, I need to get home because a new episode of “Oww My Balls!” is on.
Yooper, you always get it right! I’d be laughing at your parody if I weren’t crying so hard for our country and my children’s futures.
One can only hope & pray the author is right, and that the American people will have seen enough of the true BHO after 3 1/2 years to choose wisely.
The Propaganda and Lies Ministry portrays EVERY Republican as stupid, evil and greedy, or both.
Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush 43, …now Romney are rife with examples. Yet all of those men, as well as Bush 41…were extremely attuned to the needs of all people, implemented grand programs for the betterment of each level of society and were successful beyond any fair measure of their counterparts.
The Propaganda and Lies Ministry portrays EVERY Democrat as brilliant, compassionate and above reproach.
Kennedy, Carter, Clinton and Obama each had monumental failures of character and leadership, leading to disasters or near disasters on their watch, most notably in foreign affairs.
The propaganda has cemented in the minds of the low information voter a very pronounced tilt away from the Republican Party. This disadvantage is built into every national election, unless the candidate is a messaging and communication superstar, (Reagan), every landslide is turned into a squeaker.
When the candidate and the party present a weak case, get outmaneuvered in framing issues, allow the distortion and lies to go unanswered or are weakly responded to…the inbred disadvantage wins the day.
When society allows its communication stream to openly lie (Andrea Mitchell, NBC, NY Times, etc) without universal outrage, when distortion is naked and notorious by the mass communication outlets such that it intentionally feeds our citizenry with the poison of deceit…then we will elect tyrants as sure as the sun rises.
This would be true no matter which party controlled the propaganda and lies. The fact that one party does, means they will not be held accountable for any act, up to and including treason…and overthrow. That fact, ensures that treason and overthrow will be attempted.
Welcome to the middle of it. We are not any longer the loyal opposition.
We are now merely the resistance.
“Unforced errors” are not ‘unforced errors” until pointed out and known, widely publicized, and examined, dissected, and commented on.
If the Left’s and Obama & Co.’s almost totally owned MSM—which has succeeded to date in quarantining, ignoring, burying, diverting attention away from, blowing off, minimizing, ridiculing, and rendering relatively harmless the ever growing toxic waste dump of damaging/damning information about Obama—can continue to provide Obama & Co. with this absolutely critical and essential service, then, I believe that too few to be a decisive number of the general public and voters—who still get the bulk of their news from the MSM–will hear about or have these unforced errors pointed out and highlighted, realize their importance and significance, so that they become the subject of debate around the water cooler and kitchen table; knowledge and discussions that, if they were widespread enough, could, I believe, sink Obama’s presidential campaign.
Almost 1/2 of Americans believe he can do no wrong. His multitude of gaffes and failed destructive policies are of no consequence. He is the ONE the sheeple have been waiting for. Sheeple: A group of Lemming like creatures who wait for someone to show them the way to the nearest cliff.
Yeah, Milli Vanilli was popular for awhile too until the media-loving followers finally figured out they were a fraud.
Takes a person not long to see it but for some reason, it takes large groups of people an eternity.
I had never heard of this guy before 2008. I watched him for five minutes on TV. I said, “he’s a self-important twit who looks down his nose at everyone and I’ve seen that particular special brand of black arrogance before.”
No, I was not happy I was right. So many people buy into schlocky sales tactics and their own poor instincts and also guilty consciences that it becomes, quite literally, damaging.
What makes me the most confounded is that New York City, the place where cynicism and suspicion were practically born, voted overwhelmingly for this twit. Guess the corner shell game grifter has been found out and now upscale BS’ing is the latest ploy. But then, again, it was practically invented in NYC, as portrayed in many a movie and considered common knowledge. Yet they came out in huge numbers in favor of a fabricated man who couldn’t tell the truth if his very life depended on it.
I’ll believe Obama will lose only when I see the reports either the night of or the morning after the vote. And even then, if the vote is close, I don’t think Obama will lose (given the cowardice shown by a certain member of the SCOTUS I can see the election results being overturn).
Obama still has all the advantages:
1) media that does everything it can to cover for Obama
2) willingness of the left to attack, unwillingness of the conservative candidate to do much to fight back (though Romney is doing better than McCain).
3) inability of the conservatives (non-socialists/facists) to hammer home the same, consistent talking points. When one leftists thinks he/she has a good talking point it spreads like wildfire to all of the other leftists in Congress and in the media.
4) still the fear of being called a racist – though that seems to be not as great, thanks to conservative blacks coming to the forefront.
5) lack of George Bush speaking out. He doesn’t have to say much, just disagree with Obama once in a while. Maybe he can thank Obama for continuing his (Bush’s) policies concerning terrorists. Maybe he can remind Obama that continuing to take God’s/Jesus’ name in vain trying to justify taking money from some and giving it to others is not a good idea (assuming Obama actually believes in God/Jesus).
As commentators in the past have said about a presidential election & have been proved correct, “It’s all about the economy.”
I actually believe we are in a depression not recession. We have unemployed persons not counted in the unemployment rate. Counting them could raise the rate highter than 20%. Everyone knows someone who is not working or has to take a major pay cut. This horrible economic reality would push every person to vote for anyone but Obama.
If the presidential election is counted honestly, at least reasonably, then Obama will lose by a major landslide. Unfortunately Obama & ilk are now “working the books” for their benefit starting with Florida.
So ladies & gents, if Obama wins it will be because he did it the Chicago way.
Obama can only have “unforced” errors. There is no “force” acting on him, certainly not the knee-pad media, nor the courts, and no, not even Romney, for the media has built a moat around their king and no voice will be heard but theirs. Why all the mindless mistakes? Because Obama can do anything he pleases. He doesn’t have to turn in the paper, he’s got the A already.
No one can sit this one out to make a point or they’ll wind up at the end of it.
All Obama’s women and meno
Cannot change what he was and has beeno–
What he is and will be,
Presidentially.
And sadly,he’s the first pino.
Despite Tom Blumer’s excellent expose` here, I fear that the 52% of the People who put our Chameleon Obama in office last time will do so again because they simply don’t care about these gaffes and/or idiocy, as intelligent voters should.
All Obama’s constituency really care about is their entitlements, and being able to “stick it to th’ Man”.
Such vital dangers as this Muslim Brotherhood thing zip! right over their heads.
Do they care about the Economy?…..not so long as they can finagle Welfare Checks in the mail and use food stamps.
I think we’re in real trouble now.
With ‘freedom’ in fashion, is libertarianism back? July 03, 2012

And yet, with all these errors, Obama is still running neck-and-neck with Romney. True, this is not a good position for any president to be in as we sail into the middle of July, but given all of Obama’s mistakes, the lousy economy, and the Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare, I’m wondering why Obama is still even doing as well as he is? Why isn’t Obama’s approval ratings in the 30s, like Bush’s was back in 2008? I just can’t believe that there are so many far-left socialists out there answering these polls.
Well, the only poll that really matters takes place in November. And the good news is that the American people will have a clear choice on which direction they want this country to go in. Are we going to become a socialist state like France, or are we going to go back on the road to fiscal solvency, smaller government, less taxes, and the repeal of Obamacare? The choices were never bigger or more important than they are now. And I think the conservatives will win the day.
You’re right. This election will decide in which direction our country will go – finally. If the Divider-in-Chief and his socialist gang win, America is D&G and that doesn’t mean Dolce & Gabbana, but Done & Gone.
If this really happens, America (at least the one, “True Americans” love) is -as said- done and gone anyway, so why not file for divorce. Conservative states should secede and build a new “USA” on the good old American values and principles. Let the other side have their “USSA”. In 10 (maybe even in 5) years we will see which part is better off. I have an educated guess… I’ll gladly rent an U-haul and move from a Swing State in a State of the new USA
Have you all noticed that this year Obama and his writers have added another fallacy to his over-used Straw Man?
Yup.
Look for it.
It is the fallacy of Jumping on the Bandwagon.
He and his are using it a lot these days.
They make up a ground swell then tell you to hurry up and climb aboard.
Obama the Amateur, needs to go! It’s time for America to rid itself of the inexperienced community organizer. 3.5 years of economic failure has put a damper on the spirit of America. Everyone please make a concerted effort to vote Obama and his America hating minions and his socialist czars out of office on November 6th 2012. Tell your friends, neighbors and family we need their votes to save America and rid this country of the Blamer/Complainer/Campaigner-in-Chief

Saw a great bumper sticker on the back of an F150 pickup:
a picture of O and: “Does this ass make my truck look big?”
Unfournately there is a whole cult including college professors, college students, media / Hollywood types, people who think Obama is going to give them everything and scores of others to whom all of the flubs and flaws mean nothing. If Obama told them to drink the spiked Kool Aid they would. Unfourtunately these same zombies vote!
Obama and the Left are pit bulls. Romney and Republicans are really nice labradors or some such nice pet.
And there is why the Left has been kicking the Right-wing ass for eighty years.
The End. (Of America)
I’ve never thought for a moment that Obama was smart. Driven by ideology, an opportunist, and in general, a smart mouth Chicago thug, but not smart. But, he gets away with it, at least so far. Not enough citizens took the time to find out who he really is. Many more now know him for what he is, fast and loose with the truth, with the law, and his duty to the American people.
intrade.com has Obama’s chances of being re-elected soaring, not sinking.
How good is intrade.com’s record?
Intrade had the chances of SCOTUS repealing ObamaTax in the 80% range, up until SCOTUS upheld ObamaTax.
What’s your point?
DHS monitoring social media The Department of Homeland Security is keeping close tabs on social media, looking for numerous words in particular that might implicate people as security risks. Rebecca Jarvis and Anthony Mason spoke with two experts about the words being watched for and the privacy implications of the practice.

“BFD” Was anyone else put off by this crass description? A mistake with a mike is one thing. To own and run with it? Sick.
Just a thought: Wouldn’t it be really weird if Obama suddenly turned white, ala Michael Jackson? He could no longer call himself the First Black President. He wouldn’t have any more political equity! Maybe then, people would start to LISTEN to what he has been saying, instead of just cheering! America would have NEVER, EVER, elected a white man who said and DID the things Obama has said and done!
Sorry, I was just daydreaming.
I’m an American living abroad. I’ll be in the US during October and want to work for Romney’s election. I’ve picked a swing state — Colorado — to do this in. Does anyone have any suggestions about where the best area would be to do this? I’ll put myself up at a motel, or rent a room.
If I were in your shoes, I’d choose Colorado Springs which came in at #18 of the top 20 most conservative-friendly (by county) places in the US according to the Daily Caller.
Well, that would explain why Obama took his own sweet time getting out there to assess the fire damage, eh?
doug1943:
http://cookpolitical.com/races/house/chart.php might be helpful. I checked it out for Colorado just now and found that CO-6 is a toss up; that would be Aurora and Littleton, the southeast suburbs of Denver. If the Congressional race there is that close, it likely means that the presidential contest is too. It makes little sense to go into a solidly Democrat or solidly Republican district, since you’d need an army of volunteers to move the needle. But in a toss-up area, you could make a difference, not just for the presidency but for Congress as well.
But, you know, if there is anyway you could work in CO-1 to help unseat Degette, it would be TERRIFIC.
Doug1943, I believe Boulder (home of the University of Colorado) is probably the most liberal city in Colorado. Of course, you risk being run out of town. Good luck!
I can only hope their undies match the verbal diarrhea the Dim o crats spout

Unfortunately, Obama doesn’t seem to be sinking. His media cheerleaders have largely overlooked these gaffes. Yet they have been utterly ruthless regarding Romney in the last week or so, trashing him on everything from a “Dukakis tank moment” (for a picture in which he looks rather fetching, if I may say so myself), to “Romney the cash cow,” for pulling in a record $100 million this month. Even when Romney wins, he loses. And he is currently losing in the polls.
I realize that polls tend to oversample Dems, however. In addition, with the media’s tendency to turn every negative assessment of Obama into a racial issue I really believe people are increasingly likely to lie even to an anonymous phone pollster, as such polls are often tied to a media organization people perceive to be liberal.
Yet they call conservatives “judgmental.” Riiiiight. If you don’t like Obama, you’re labeled a racist, a hater of the poor or simply stupid. I just don’t remember this kind of viciousness when McCain was running. Perhaps it is a sign of desperation, but it may also be a successful tactic.
I only looked at one of the links in the first paragraph, but the 57 states comment was clearly a joke, much as this article. It is clear to anyone following the race, that Romney’s campaign is a mess.
Sorry Brian, but there is not an ounce of evidence that “57 states” was a joke, and no serious person has ever really said that it was.
For the record, while the list of Obama gaffes in long and real, I am perfectly prepared to acknowledge that dumb stuff can be said in an exhausting campaign, and we that all have brain farts. I know many others, even on the right, would agree. I really think the only reason the right harps on that statement is the absolute, utter, inviolable, carved in stone, truth of God FACT that if ANY Republican had said it, it would be gleefully mocked by SNL, Stewart, Colbert, and the entire left for decades, a la Quayle’s “potatoe”. Simply sauce for the goose.
I happen to think “Navy corpse-man” was a FAR more embarrassing moment, with FAR less excuse for a man in his position to say such an idiotic thing, than the campaign moment of “57 states”.
But nice try pretending he meant to say it humorously. Didn’t our writer here talk specifically about the propensity of so many who should know better to repeatedly bury reality to help Barack Obama? Yep, that’s about how it works. WHY it works I’d say remains a mystery.
The point is that NO REAL American would ever say that we had 57 states. It just would not happen.
Well, first of all I think it is a joke because people in the audience laughed. Second, one must put the comment in context, he is making a sarcastic reference to how much he was traveling on the campaign trail. If you actually watched the video, both of those things would be obvious. Also, he says that he still has 2 more states to visit, so if you think it is real, he would be stating that there are 59 states, which makes me think the author has not even watched the video, or he would have made fun of Obama for the correct number.
You could be right, Brian: we’re laughing at you, and you’re clearly a joke.
Dude, give it up. We’ve ALL seen it, multiple times. I only feebly “defend” him by saying I’m pretty sure he was exhausted and it was just a momentarily stupid remark. I have never run for president, so I will not pile on (EXCEPT over the fact that it’ll be a cold day in hell before a leftist offers the same courtesy to a GOP candidate).
But just stop saying he meant to say it as a joke, and knew what he was saying, because no one but a slobbering Jonestownian Obamatron buys it. There isn’t a hint of that on the video, and, I might add, one hallmark of a person who is not smart about humor is that they make jokes and cannot figure out the subtleties (tone of voice, facial expression) of letting the audience in on the reality that it IS in fact a joke. There is none of that here.
Face it, MY scenario, and no Obama fan am I by a long shot, is the most complimentary one there is. Give this one up, your hole is just getting deeper.
So real Americans are not allowed to make jokes. Thanks for the rule, I will try to adhere.
But it’s not a joke. You’re like one of the writers who wrote a terrible book and then you pretend that it’s a “parody” of terrible books when criticized so you don’t look stupid.
DAn Quayle, on a trip to Latin America, in a joking manner, that received laughs, something to thd effect ..And I don’t speak any Latin.” Every reporter present understood it as a joke.
However, one reported it as if Quayle had said it seriouisly.
And to this day, most liberals believe that Dan Quayle was a dunderhead who didn’t know that the primary language of most of Latin merica is Spanish.
Liberals are well informed when it comes to misinformation and lies about Republicans and Conservatives.
Any child knows that there are 57 muslim states — it was drilled into him in Indonesia.
When fatigued, he went with what he’d learnt when young.
A joke indeed watch this link idiot you have been caught lying just like Oblamo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGH02DtIws Actually he thought there were even more than 57 so it was 58 or perhaps 59 since3 he says a couple of more to go.
You are not welcome here with your worthless comments and attempts to cover up for a worthless communist!
About that quote from 2008 in which Obama says Arkansas is “in the middle” relative to WV and KY. The link to the underlying report by Ryan Alessi of McClatchy’s Lexington Herald-Leader takes me to the document, but that line about “in the middle” is not there — removed, maybe?
He is a hapless boob, but look at the most damning evidence: he’s a collectivist. To arrive at this perspective of how a culture ought to function is to ignore man’s nature, even though everyone of us experiences that nature every waken second of our life – that we have free will, independent thought & tastes, and reality ultimately trumps all. You must be at war with existence to get where he and countless others end up.
What happened? For the last three years, I keep hearing crap about you “american people” are broke under Obama. For the last three years they don’t have enough money to make ends meet, suddenly they have enough money to help try to get the black man they hate out of the White House! he is not a homosexual!
The biggest lie of this or any political campaign has been the republican claim that President Barack Obama is a Marxist socialist who is attempting to destroy America. Most of the people making the allegations are individuals who utilize the epithet in a manner that demonstrates that they have no idea what ” Marxist Socialism” is, and even less of an idea of what types of programs are legally permissable in a constitutional republic.
Unless it’s a particularly egregious racist comment like calling the First Lady “Moochelle” or a monkey then just address whatever nonsense they’re spewing about Obama and crush their ridiculous argument whatever it may be.
No. “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” — US Constitution
Obama is NO traitor!
I’m really talking about the racism Obama is facing & how disgusting it is that the Tea Party is so focused on getting him out that they aren’t bothering with any actual issues.
Dear neocons. Since you’re too lazy to research what the President said and are willing to blindly swallow whatever swill is written here without a moment of skepticism, Thank you for proving my point that neocons care nothing for the truth and are stupid, lazy, and incapable of ever considering anything that isn’t force-fed you by the great puppeteers here at Breitbart. Go ahead and remain in your cocoon of ignorance and racism. It’s very amusing to watch.
Just admit it- you have an irrational hatred of Obama and the man could make it rain gold bricks out of the sky and you would still find some way to hate him for it. The man can’t even give a 4th of July speech celebrating America and the immigrants who made this country great without all you mentally ill mouth breathers twisting his words into something they weren’t and seeing false boogeymen. Just admit you are racists!
Calling the POTUS a liar and a fraud seems to be the calling card for bigots andd racists like you!
Obama inherited a sinking economy, I don’t like everything he has done, but I agree that he has more successes than failures. He has my vote. I just wish he would pull us out of Afghanistan. Anyone who calls Obama a failure is a lying racist!
You clearly don’t understand anything about what makes a Muslim, never mind the fact that President Obama’s father was born a Christian (was actually an atheist when he married Obama’s mother) and then converted to Islam later.
100 percent proof, Hatred for Barack Obama comes from Racism!
For some reason the phrase “the lamentation of their women” comes to mind.
I have no hatred for Obama, irrational or otherwise. I do despise, loathe, and hate what he is doing to our republic and freedom. His color is of no interest to me. What difference does that make? It is not his color that is ruining our country; it is his ACTIONS. Any color could do the same.
No one is born a Christian. It is an individual decision made by a person who has the ability to understand what it means to follow Christ. “God has no grandchildren.”
Great! Typical Liberal. Lot’s of hateful name calling and self righteousness and not one actual fact to back up the accusations.
I simply look at the spending. That’s all. The spending, which has gone up astronomically under Obama. Bush was bad and I complained loudly then. This guy is clearly trying to destroy America financially and anyone who doesn’t agree with that hasn’t looked closely at the numbers. Long story short, we as a nation cannot possibly afford another four years of Obama’s economic policies. We won’t survive it.
If thinking it is not possible, long-term, to spend more than you make is a racist belief, then I’m a racist. Anyone who doesn’t like that, too damned bad.
The Race Card is the most rapid-fire, all purpose, over used and abused, ad hominem and vapid weapon of smear, mass deception, diversion and greed ever conceived by man. It is a weapon under which the most feeble minds are servilely crouched and can be played with the greatest of ease by even the most reason and integrity challenged, and in fact, was designed especially for use by them. It is void of justice. It is void of liberty. It needs no footing in rationality. It is, in plain and clear fact, similar to a lynching. At times it is the last refuge of scoundrels and at other times the first as they attempt to murder freedom of speech. It has no expiration date. It doesn’t even appear to have a half life. There are those who theorize that it may continue to exist indefinitely in some form even after time itself has come to an end.
Anyone who actually thinks that opposition to Barack Obama and his policies makes someone a “racist” is mentally ill and profoundly so. Anyone who makes that claim but does not actually believe it is a liar and a smearier and a verbal lyncher. In any case as the line goes, give me a million years and I could not think of anything STUPIDER than “If you oppose Barack Obama and his policies, you are a racist”. It does not get any STUPIDER and is all but a signed confession by his witless sheeple that they can not rationally and honestly defend their feeble and failing god, the Child Emperor.
Hey, It’s Charles Chuckles Johnson, ladies and gents. Wave to Charles!
The average net worth figures for americans are released every year. Do you you know what they are? Did they go up or down over Obama’s presidency? The federal reserve puts out a study you can look up to get the figures. They run it every 3 years. The last run was 2010 and the next run will be 2013. Yes, american have gotten poorer under Obama.
President Obama has put this country on a fiscal path that has the nonpartisan CBO complaining that they can no longer do very long term projections on this country’s economy because sometime during the 2030s the economy seizes up and the numbers stop making sense. If you bring race into a discussion like that you are the racist.
President Obama has spent money for purposes not appropriated by Congress. That’s a constitutional crisis. Specifically he’s spending money to issue work permits to people who do not qualify for them. The executive in a system of checks and balances with two co-equal branches can’t do that. Obama is. If you bring race in a discussion like that, you’re a racist.
President Obama won his case on the individual mandate but is currently defying the Court by not accepting that the mandate is a tax. This is unprecedented that the winner in one of these fights doesn’t accept the decision. If you bring race into a discussion like that, you’re a racist.
All of these and others are tea party issues and when you say that we have no issues but race hatred you’re bringing race into all those discussions. Face it, you’re the racist and an ignorant one to boot.
Only an ignorant racist would set himself up like a t-ball waiting to get hit out of the park. Thanks for the easy debate…
racist.
But he continues to lead in the polls, and has even received a slight bump in INTRADE since the healthcare bill passed. I don’t understand how a majority of people continue to support this guy, but it worries me.
The editor of the Daily Caller, who has met both Joe Biden and Barack Obama, says Biden is by far the more impressive of the two. Joe Biden, the man Mark Levin calls the dumbest man ever to be Vice President.
WHY hasn’t anyone been successful at uncovering Obama’s secrets? You know, the ones he sealed by executive order as soon as he was inaugurated? Surely, SOMEONE has the goods on this guy, but why hasn’t he or she come forth? How can we get to this info? If we could get to this (truthful) stuff and spread it far and wide before the election, well, good things would finally happen for us. Not so good things would happen for him.
What about the Sheriff in Arizona? Any chance he has dug up harmful (truthful) info on O?
“Surely, SOMEONE has the goods on this guy, but why hasn’t he or she come forth?”
They probably don’t want to die from acute lead poisoning to the head.
It appears the Romney Campaign is not up to taking on Obama and the Media both. Romney looks like another John McCain, wanting to run a nice and easy POTUS campaign, That will work.
Get prepared for another 4 years of Obama and then Hillary Clinton.
Kiss America Goodby.
1) He’s all we’ve got, along with the Congress, to reclaim America from the communists.
2) We’re all sending him money, you should too.
This is just trying to make us feel good. The public has turned off to all talk about the debt and deficits just as they’ve turned off on the mantra ‘kids on their parents insurance til 26 and pre-existing conditions.
People want to know what healthcare will cost THEM and nobody is telling them squat.
Obama seems to be successful at turning Romney into some kind of monster (with the media’s help, of course, but it doesn’t do us any good to complain about that). There has to be some pushback, no? Crickets.
Foxnews and conservatives go along with the media’s talking points of the day instead of making a definitive statement then digging deeper or attacking back. Hasn’t anyone read the SC opinion? The Obama team insists it’s a penalty not a tax. Conservatives say it’s a tax not a penalty. Blah Blah back and forth. NOBODY says that calling it a penalty is misleading the public as the opinion mentions. Obama can insist it’s a penalty but then it’s unconstitutional and misleading the public.
Period. End of story.
MA has a different authority for what its lawmakers do than Congress has. No comparison. If there are counter attacks just tell them to take a civics class. Period. End of story.
And watch out for the jobs report tomorrow. Expectations were set so low that tomorrow will be ‘unexpected’ to the up side. Be prepared. Sometimes I think we get too complacent over the economy being bad, which it is, that we’re not prepared to handle good news.
In my view, as a psychiatrist, Obama probably has a normal to high normal intelligence. But he is clearly not broadly or adequately educated, e.g., “corpse man,” “57 states,” and other gaffes. Too much time being stoned and being given passes by leftist professors. And we have to pay for all of this.
I’d like to know what prompts you to think he is anything but marginally intelligent (even that might be an overstatement). The fact that his college records, a lack of any publication from when he was the president of the Harvard Law Review is very telling, IMO, that he has either very bad grades or no grades at all. Frankly, he strikes me as someone with all the trimmings of an absolute fraud.
“spread the wealth around” is the means to “fundamentally transform” this nation.
Class “A” Marxist, Socialist and Elitist.
How anyone not on the dole can support this Marxist is amazing. Hence the support from academia, lawyers and professionally unemployed.
The fact that Fast & Furious didn’t make the NBC Nightly Happy Obama News until a contempt citation was issued suggests that much of the country has no clue. And with nearly half of the population paying nothing in taxes for the government dependency they receive, why would they Hope for Change now? The Left will feed off of the private sector host until they kill it, and then blame the victim for expiring. Ronald Reagan won 49 states. Where are we now? Not enough, if any learning sticks. Divorce is the only solution I see for saving Constitutional America.
It is important to make fun of people who are led into ignorance because the MSM doesn’t cover these stories. Don’t be a jerk about it but we need to make it clear that only uneducated rubes rely on the MSM alone. Once people start consuming new media, their days of being susceptible to story choice manipulation are numbered.
I’m no big-time Romney fan, but a lifetime of attempting to avoid all risk and thread the needle on every topic probably means that he won’t create a Dukakis or Kerry moment. That’s a good thing.
On the other hand, obama has lived a life where every one of the thousands of flubs he has made in his life has been covered up by people who dedicate their lives to cleaning up his mistakes. Ergo, he is the most arrogant public figure in American, and a contendor for world, history. He is going to make a bunch more big ones between now and November. If 47% know about his “private sector’s doing fine” profound stupidity, it’s a very good sign.
One theory, which I partially buy into because what else is there but hope, is that there are a lot of people who hate the cretin but won’t tell pollsters.
If that’s true, November could be a landslide, depending of course on how much cheating they can get away with this time. The norm is 5 to 10%.
As to Barry’s having “inherited” a bad economy, surely my husband and I were not the only ones to recognize, in May 2008, that a bad storm was coming and stopped spending, sold all our stock and put everything in cash positions–we figuratively battened down the hatches and prepared to ride it out. We didn’t lose a penny, although he did lose his job. If Barry inherited a bad economy, then Hedley Lamar, in “Blazing Saddles,” inherited a town made up entirely of false fronts!
Having given deep thought to the nation’s problems over 100 rounds of golf, I, Tiger Obama, believe that if I move my right hand over the top of my grip I might just straighten out that wicked slice.
Also, that Social Security Number problem might go away too.
Even if Hussein wins the election, he still has to crawl into bed with a Wookie every night. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
While you are all bemoaning the biased MSM, just keep this in mind. At least now they are not the only game in town, like they used to be. We have Fox, and talk radio. And even more importaant we have the blogosphere and twitter, with sites like PJ Media, and Instapundit. Not enough americans listen to these alternate sources of truth yet, but at least now it is possible to get the word out. And now, with the tea party, we also have a decent ground game, to match the unions and professional leftists like OWS. And unlike OWS, when people take the trouble to find out what the tea party is all about, they are more apt to like them, not less like with OWS. And when people see truth in our media, and see falsehood from the MSM, many of them will recognize that truth, and tune out the MSM. We have a hard struggle, but it definitely is not hopeless.
Just remember ‘Bama-boy:
We’re not laughing WITH you. We’re laughing AT you!
Romney had better figure out that this is more like a UFC fight to the finish than a gentlemen’s debate. If he follows McCain’s example, he will end up like
Holyfield at the end of the second Tyson fight, with his ears bitten off. He needs to choose a Vice President who is unafraid to tell the unvarnished truth
about Obama’s domestic and foreign policy failures and the coverup of Fast and Furious. Most of the media will whitewash OB’s ineptitude and do their best to paint Romney as an evil rich villain. I just hope the truth comes out about OB.
Take 5 or more people with you to this November 6 polling places to vote. Get them registered first.This election will have massive fraud on a scale never before seen. An estimated 8 to 10 million voter turnouts (or more) must vote over and above last election’s voter turnout numbers. Fraud and corruption on a scale never before seen is befalling We The People.
