Pulitzer-Prize winning reporter Ron Suskind has published a book that accuses Obama of being in-over-his-head, as well as an extremely poor leader. Nothing new to lots of us, but it could be an eye-opener for some of the devoted . . . http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles...romronsuskindsbook.dailybeast/?cid=hero_media
How does this change? If you thought these things before, it's confirmation? Back-pat time? If you were one of the "devoted", you're not going to all-of-a-sudden say "Holy crap! I guess if Suskind wrote this stuff, then I've been blind to this guy's myriad faults!"
Actually, the "devoted" have been abandoning Obama in droves lately, or haven't you noticed? Many on the Left were already bemoaning his lack of backbone long before this book came out. Ron Suskind is a well-respected reporter who has written some very critical articles on George W. Bush, so this book carries a lot of weight.
I am a defeated man. The undeniable facts and portrayal of Obama in this book have shattered my world view. There is nothing left to do but lick our wounds and coward like the dogs we are. You and other like-minded individuals were, as always, right all along. Please have patience with us "lib-tards". We will learn eventually, I promise.
So what is this guy, a racist. conservative or someone with some other agenda? I am sure someone will start crying that it has to be one of them
Perhaps you mean "cower"? I wish I had confidence in you, but liberals have proven over and over again that they are incapable of learning a great many things.
You're absolutely right. I did mean "cower". Liberals like me aren't only bad spellers (and by extension really stupid) we're also lazy, elitist, unpatriotic, immoral, freedom-hating, hypocrites who live in fantasy land. Unfortunately the burden lies on people like you, Shooter, to show us the "real" facts to help us understand why the world is the way it is. I know you take your hits for saying what you believe but after being right SO many times it sinks in for people like me. I no longer identify with those dumb-asses who come back after a semester of college and spit out the same dog shit that their liberal professors fed them and try to pass it off as their own. You, sir, are an intellectual giant. I "cower" before you. (See, lib-tards CAN learn some things!)
I hear 97% of scientists polled say he's in over his head, too. I expected his lack of experience to be a big problem for him, but I also hoped he would get his act together after a couple of years of on the job training. It worked for the governor of a small state, and things turned out very well. What Clinton didn't do while learning the job was to bury us in debt.
Gee, a guy who had never run so much as a lemonade stand before in his life is in over his head as President of the USA, and doesn't know how to lead? I'm shocked!!!
No more doddering fools. We need a clear-thinking president who's not submerged over his head, like Ford, Reagan, or Bush. There's nothing to do now but hand the country over to Republicans, to privatize Social Security and health care with shares in the stock market. The US will be competitive again when we productive people rid ourselves of everyone over 65. The average life expectancy has risen 10 years since Medicare because...computers and microwaves have really improved.
Political science is based on faulty polling models. To accurately predict politics you need to know what every person has ever thought about anything. You have to consider the ideas of a butterfly in China to predict an election in Odessa, Texas. Obama is, as we like to say in these parts, up shit creek with a turd for a paddle. He's got a strongly divided political landscape, three wars, and an economy in the shitter. It will take a miracle to get us out of this. He is "in over his head" but he doesn't realize he is "in over his head". There hasn't been a "deer-in-headlights" moment like W sitting in front of the class as the US was being attacked by hijacked airplanes. He's made confident decisions but apparently they haven't been the right decisions. He'll have the chance to turn it around. It's his job to loose.
Yes, what Michael Moore taught all of us from that reaction is that the President should bolt from the room, without being briefed fully, and don a cape to save the world. Now, watch this drive!!! Remember the bad old days of 4.6% unemployment in 2006 before the Dems took over the House and Senate in 1/2007 (President Failbama was a part of that spectacular freshman class in the Senate). What spending cuts did Barack advocate during his time in the Senate? What has the UE rate done since he was sworn in as President while the annual deficit has literally tripled?
Remember when there was a surplus in 2001? Me too. Remember what happened to the debt and deficit once the Dems gained control of congress in 2007, and the presidency in 2009? Me too. Your Dems are even bailing ship on this loser, yet he's literally willing to double down with money that he doesn't even have.
Close enough. The polls are something like the scoreboard so we can get a sense of who's winning and who's losing. The only poll that ultimately matters is the vote by the electoral college. What do you think Bush should have done? [video=youtube;QP1K84iRZPo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP1K84iRZPo[/video]
I don't know. What do you think he should have done? I was just using that situation to juxtapose two presidents " in over their head"
