Story Of Obama

Gingrich is a partisan hack. The above article is a joke. The economy is shit because of the financial crisis and Bush and cos reckless "management", coupled with a worldwide recession and high foreign debt due to stupid wars and tax breaks. Period. It would be better if the pubs weren't saboteurs and obstructionists.

 

Of course Gingrich is partisan. So is Obama and his gang. Hack? Who among those guys isn't?

Four years ago, the financial world was shaking and the libs cried out "it is Bush's fault" despite the fact that the trouble started globally and after the Dems took over the Congress early 2007 and pushed cheap loans to anyone who could fog a mirror. Now a similar situation is emerging and the libs are crying out again "it's not Obama's fault and if you don't agree you are a racist..."

Eleven years ago all Americans cried out "defend our country" and Bush had the backbone to act and take out our enemies... Now the libs are saying 'it was a stupid war..." and never mention the fact that Obama has followed exactly Bush's strategy but with his ineptitude and tendency to second guess our generals in the field, has tripled our casualties in Afghanistan. Again the libs are trying to deceive the country. What else is new?

 

Obama's Unhappy Left Flank
By DICK MORRIS

While Republican attacks on Obama over the economy are multiplying, the president's real troubles might be the other end of the spectrum, among his natural supporters on the left. There, dissatisfaction, disillusionment and concerns about whether he is up to the job dog him.

Obama's poor showing in West Virginia, Kentucky and Arkansas offer quantitative evidence of Democratic discontent with the president, and focus groups and polling offer qualitative evidence. Polls of registered voters show an Obama lead of up to 4 points, while those of likely voters show an equivalent lead for Romney. Obama cannot get his people to the polls. He can't make registered voters who support him into likely voters. The Democratic discontent with Obama is taking its toll on the turnout of his base.

The biggest disappointment with Obama is his failure to achieve anything with the Republican Congress. The president's advisers assume you can either blame the Democrats or the Republicans for the failure of Washington to achieve anything. But the fact is that you can also blame all incumbents, particularly the one in the White House.

Democrats are impatient with Obama's failure to get anything done and intolerant of his inability to force Republicans to pass his legislation. While one side of this double-edged sword blames the GOP for ideological intransigence, the other sees in Obama a politician not able to produce and not up to the job. With books recounting how uninvolved Obama is in the legislative process (quite the contrary of the image of LBJ we see in the Caro biography), the negative view of the president among his normal supporters only grows worse.

To liberals already antagonized by the fact that Gitmo is still open, that it took so long to pull out of Iraq, that we are still in Afghanistan and that Obama might have been so incompetent in drafting his healthcare law that it is unconstitutional, the president's failures with Congress could become the last straw.

Now we face a summer of new confrontation in Washington and, likely, new gridlock. Because, inexplicably, Obama raised the debt limit too little to put the matter off until into 2013, he now has to go about raising it again. Democratic demands for a "clean" debt-limit increase devoid of spending cuts have failed to stir any interest among House Republicans. So it's back to the old debate. Republicans will press for spending cuts. Democrats will only accept smaller cuts, and only if they are accompanied by tax increases on the wealthy. Republicans won't buy any tax increase, so more gridlock will eventuate.

In addition, GOP concerns about the impact of the defense sequester cuts and their efforts to reduce military spending cuts are likely to add to the partisan divisions and gridlock.

This situation is a win-win for the Republicans.

If gridlock develops, the president will be the main casualty. The sense that he is, on the one hand, too weak and, on the other hand, too partisan and negative, will grow and alienate liberal and Democratic voters, further depressing their turnout.

House Republicans, as a group, will suffer too. But they don't run as a group. They run as individuals and can skirt the blame for inaction in Washington as they campaign.

But, for Obama, more gridlock will only deepen the sense that he is not up to the job of leading America.

And if Obama compromises -- that is to say, surrenders -- to GOP demands for cuts, the resulting image of weakness, centrism and lack of conviction will hurt him just as surely as his approval of the Bush tax cuts hurt him with his base in the lame-duck session of 2010.

Either way, the events of the summer do not bode well for the president.

 

You may want to do some reading on this because your just repeating a right wing meme that is just plain wrong.

Obama Joined Third Party in 1990s
NewsMax

President Barack Obama was a member of the far left New Party and also signed a “contract” promising to publicly support and associate himself with the New Party while in office, according to a published report.

Citing recently obtained evidence from the updated records of Illinois ACORN at the Wisconsin Historical Society, an article appearing in the National Review Online pointed to a document trail that “definitively establishes” Obama’s membership in the organization.

“Barack Obama, candidate for State Senate in the 13th Legislative District, gave a statement to the membership and answered questions. He signed the New Party “Candidate Contract” and requested an endorsement from the New Party.

He also joined the New Party,” the publication reported, quoting minutes of a Jan. 11, 1996 meeting of the New Party’s Chicago chapter.

Moreover, the publication reported that a roster of the Chicago chapter of the New Party from early 1997 listed Obama as a member and referenced the Jan. 11, 1996 joining date.

The publication also noted that in Obama’s third debate with then GOP presidential nominee John McCain, the Democrat maintained that his only involvement with ACORN came when he represented the group in a lawsuit over the National Voter Registration Act.

Obama press conference: “The private sector is doing fine.”
by John Hayward

President Obama called a “surprise” press conference for 10:15 AM on Friday morning, to discuss the economy. He showed up 25 minutes late. People who habitually show up late for work really cut into productivity.

It was all more of the same, with not a single new idea to be found. Obama blamed George Bush for his woes within 10 seconds, whining about the impossible challenges he inherited. Someone unfamiliar with the 2008 campaign who watched this speech would assume Barack Obama was chosen at random from a list of unwilling victims to be held captive in the Oval Office for four years. It is very difficult to understand why he would want to be re-elected for such a miserable, futile job, or why any American would want to re-elect him.

The theme of this press conference was the terrible economic “headwinds,” which not even our super-genius President can overcome. Of course, that’s mostly due to obstructionist Republicans, who refused to pass Obama’s second pork-encrusted $500 billion “stimulus” bill. Why, those ingrates are still asking what happened to all the money from the first trillion-dollar Obama stimulus! And they’ve been pestering Democrats by throwing no less than thirty realistic, market-oriented, pro-growth bills on their desks, when any fool can see that proper economic stimulus involves hiring unions to build junk we don’t need, so the enriched unions can use their taxpayer loot to hire the rest of us as servants.

There wasn’t one single free-market idea in Obama’s speech. It was all about taking and giving, not earning and growing. Obama seems incapable of understanding that central planners can never deal with those “headwinds,” but millions of private-sector entrepreneurs can find ways to tack around them and create wealth. Socialists are chained to an immobile wheel at the helm of a rusting ship filled with prisoners, dragging everyone beneath the waves while they wail about the unfairness of blaming them for disaster, because they don’t see how anyone could have done any better. They never even see the small, nimble capitalist craft flying across the waves all around them. Headwinds are a constant source of complaint for those who don’t know how to sail.

As one might expect, there was more pleading for big deficit spending on “infrastructure,” particularly “roads and bridges,” even though Obama already spent a ton of our children’s money on them in 2009. This has always seemed like a strange argument from Obama, because he also thinks the Little People drive too much, and consume too many fossil fuels. Why is he so obsessed with building more roads for our planet-raping cars? (The answer, of course, is that those roads are built by his labor union allies, and Obamanomics is all about looting taxpayers to line the right pockets.)

Obama is so utterly out of touch that at one point, he told a reporter “the private sector is doing fine.” That is a simply astonishing comment to make, just a week after the latest disastrous job report chronicled Obama’s three years of workforce collapse and economic stagnation. If he’s not going to do anything productive, he could at least stop blocking pipelines and sending regulators out to “crucify” the free market.

Much of Obama’s presentation amounted to telling Europe they need to plunge further into debt to keep the Euro afloat, so they can rescue Obama by purchasing American goods. Absolutely no one in Europe was waiting for financial advice from President Downgrade, but he spend so much time rambling on about the need for European bailouts that the audience grew uncomfortable. Maybe the true purpose of this press conference was to audition for a job with the European Union after he gets bounced out of the Oval Office in November.

It was very clear from this speech that Barack Obama doesn’t think he has done anything wrong, and has no intention – or, indeed, capability – to develop a more vibrant, market-oriented, fiscally responsible program. He wants to go back to the drawing board, when we urgently need to smash that drawing board into tiny pieces. How is anyone supposed to be “inspired” by a disconnected bureaucrat rambling on about the same failed strategies, over and over again, unmoved by all evidence of their failure?

This is a compelling argument to replace him with someone else. Today’s Obama press conference was a tremendous campaign ad for Mitt Romney, who respects the power of the free market, and cares enough about his job to show up on time.
