Elite white males do not corner the market on crony-ism and corruption. Education and position does not override character and common courtesy(Gates). A top notch education does not automatically assure judgement. Our problems are less racial, more issue based. Kinda’ negates the ‘wise Latina’ thinking, too.

And the public may be a bit slow on the take-up, but we do catch up.

Gotta love it!

“Liberals” have elected a cultural subversive who is going to introduce statist socialism in the States. And these “liberals” haven’t a clue as to what they have done! When they finally realize what they have done, the only excuse they will have will be that a Republican would have done the same thing – and they would be right on the money on that point! The only route that America can take without castrating its ruling elites there is statist socialism.

Rahm Emanuel is not the problem at all. He is a mere symptom of the problem. Obama is not the problem either. He is just a fool who wants to captain a country that is sinking like the Titanic. Your ruling elites are the problem, and they have led you to hit an iceberg with no life-boats.

Mazel tov!

Yes, indeed, as we all stand in awe of your opinion.

Yay.

Bush had to deal with a lot in his tenure. He had wars, attacks, natural disasters, economic problems…all that and yet he never blamed others.

He could have blamed Clinton for not dealing with Saddam and AlQaida. He could have blamed Clinton for promoting an easy loan policy that would eventually wreak havoc with the economy.

All presidents inherit problems. But Obama is not man enough to assume responsibility and Rahm is just a bully and a thug. This is going to be a long 4 years.

Cap-n-tax is dead. Nobody who voted for that is going to go home in Aug and speak about that vote. Even if it’s brought up in 2010 elections it will be too old and folks will say “yeah, I voted for it in committee but the actual bill would have been far different and I would have voted against it.” No harm, no foul.

He will sign a HC bill, even if it means just giving everyone free aspirin and hail it “revolutionary.” By agreeing to a vote in Sep, assuming slow news in Aug and no international incidents, every talk show will have every congressman talking about it. Of course, since no one knows what’s in it and these folks won’t be able to talk about it in wide platitudes and sound as good as Obama when he’s blowing smoke, more folks will be come more skeptical. You can only get people to support an “idea” for only so long before you have to put the rubber to the road. Generally, the biggest fear people have is going to the hospital. When your own congressman can’t tell you what’s going to happen even though he is going to vote to change whatever “it” is, that’s not going to sit well with the electorate.

Another important thing is that the more he pushes this people will tune him out. Every townhall meeting looks like a campaign event, and with special elections for governor in two states and he will appear as doing nothing but campaigning when he shows up there. Forget the “are you better off than you were a year ago” arguement. It should be “do you feel better than you were a year ago regarding (fill in the blank).” That will be a resounding NO. Combine this with his press conference TV ratings. His last one about HC, supposedly the most pressing need of the country and his ability to sell/explain it fell flat. That tells you right there that people are either ambivalent about it or really don’t care what he has to say about it. I suspect it is a little of both.

Additionally, at some point this fall MSM will do shows marking the “one year anniversay” of his historic election and the gains the dems made. You can hear Chris Matthews now recalling election night when the tingle up his leg got so strong it caused his leg to swell to the point he couldn’t bend it. I think even some of the MSM will play his campaign speeches about what he promised (Gitmo, wire survelliance, etc.) which will only re-enforce that he hasn’t accomplished those things let alone other things. I think that’s the breaking point for Obama because his term will be 25% over and folks will say to themselves he’s had a year to “fix” it and all he will have to show for it is the stimulus and no job creation.

I think at that point people will start to get tired of hearing “it’s Bush’s fault” because anyone who has taken on a job typically knows you can only use that excuse for so long. Overexposing himself in the last 7 months along with the one year anniversay will make people thing he’s been around even longer with nothing to show after one year.(Yes, it less than a year but with “anniversay” week, people will ignore the timeline).

Rahmbo’s comment about a crises will/should be played over and over because it is the stupidest thing anyone could have ever said. With little to show, increasing unemployment and certainly numbers to be released in Aug from the WH mid-year budget review that will be very uncomplimentary, folks will look around and say WTF has he done for me and realize the “crises” actions appear to be helping just his friends.

You don’t hear anything about him golfing every week for the past 6-8 weeks (and I assume continuing while congress is at recess) but you know Bush would have been vilified as being out of touch had he done the same thing. A perfect campaign commercial would be a calendar followed by a voice over saying I tried to reach the president but his secretary/calendar said he was golfing while in the background the calendar continues to flip week by week noting the golfing days and with whom. And the most jarring part about this will be the calendar not flipping from week to week but the month to month flip with the “source” at the bottom listed as the offical presidential calendar.

If your best selling point is “yes it’s increasing (unemployment, negative growth, deficit, etc), but it’s increasing at a decreasing rate” only serves to amplify to most folks that things are not improving.

At the end of the day, he over promised and people jumped aboard that bandwagon because everyone wants to support a winner. As the trend continues down nobody wants to be associated with a loser. At some point it will come down to him making a decision to either support Nancy/Harry or blue dogs. He should be politically smart enough to go with the blue dogs (because his liberal base isn’t going to leave him) but with everything he promised it will demonstrate that 1. he lied; 2. said anything, any time, to anyone to get elected; and 3. how far apart his rhetoric vs. reality really is. Add into the fact the majorities he has and people will ask themselves at that one year anniversay “yeah, why didn’t this get done?” . . . as the calendar slowy turns in the commercial.
