Now this is funny:
A struggling President Obama is calling for help from members of his first-term A-Team, who have left the White House for other jobs.With his poll numbers falling and his second-term floundering so far, Obama has sought help from the former aides who helped catapult him to the presidency.
...One former aide described Obama’s trusted inner circle from the first term as "the originals," and speculated that if they were still at the White House they could have helped prevent some of Obama’s second-term blunders, such as the decision Monday to give a fiery speech criticizing Republicans just hours after 12 people were gunned down a few miles away at the Navy Yard.
Sought help? But according to The One he doesn't need any help. In fact, he's better than anyone he could hire:
Obama had always had a high estimation of his ability to cast and run his operation. When David Plouffe, his campaign manager, first interviewed for a job with him in 2006, the senator gave him a warning: "I think I could probably do every job on the campaign better than the people I’ll hire to do it," he said. "It’s hard to give up control when that’s all I’ve known." Obama said nearly the same thing to Patrick Gaspard, whom he hired to be the campaign’s political director. "I think I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters," Obama told him. "I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m gonna think I’m a better political director than my political director."
So what's the problem now? It's been obvious ever since he came on the scene. He surrounds himself with people who actually believe he is "The One" who can do no wrong. Whatever he wants, he gets.

I hope the lifeline is attached to an anvil.
If 0bama want to get it in the end, he’s going to get it in the end.
Yeah, the bum voted “present” better than anyone in the Illinois State House.
2008 Obama made nice campaign noises to appease edgy voters....
<><> to curb drone strikes,
<><> to protect media freedoms,
<><> to close Guantanamo
<><> to abolish govt spying as unconstututional
Instead, Obama escalated drone strikes, spied on the media, hung the treason label on Fox's James Rosen, and Gitmo is still open for business...and now we have NSA's Snowden, the Navy Yard shooter and, 5 million newbies, all with top security clearance.
FOCUS-GROUP TESTED RESPONSES ONLY on the campaign trail 2008 Ohaha was on a tight leash. He was rigorously coached, saying only cute things that would keep we, the people, in abeyance. He even said he wanted to be "another Reagan." (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down).
Even his opponent McCain stupidly told America we should not be afraid of an Obama presidency.
==========================================
Ohaha got elected under false pretenses. The belatedly-alert media must NOW ask the questions they should have asked THEN--- when Ohaha first surfaced as a candidate.
NUMBER ONE Who is this guy in the White House?
Remember that O's 2008 PR person----Anita "Mao" Dunn--- said AFTER the election that the O Team "allowed" the media to know only what THEY wanted them to know.
Ohaha was tightly scripted saying only cute things that would get him elected----revealing none of his anti-America hatred. The Chi/mob Dunn/Axelrod/Enmanuel/Jarrett allowed NO probing questions and up-close interviews. Hillary and Bill had ominous pics of Obama in Muslim garb--but Teddy Kennedy warned them not to use them.
===================================================
How many presidents took over the census, AND put their COS in charge of Treasury within weeks of getting elected?
WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.
When he got to Treasury, White House COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings of the Treasury that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

MOMENTS TO REMEMBER Obama was fond of saying "Tea Parties are a threat to democracy."
Obama told Hispanics we will reward our friends and punish our enemies.
Valerie Jarrett ominously warned, they "would not forget" which Americans dd not worship Obama.
Obama stated he would destroy the Republican Party.
Never having had a job, President You Didn’t Build That assumed once you get a job, it’s all golf games, free travel, and accolades.
Rinos will throw it to him.
He should just resign. His presidency is a failure.
Pretty sure 0bama’s already had it in the end.
He should resign and turn him self into a SuperMax Federal Prison to spend the rest of his worthless existence.
"OK Mr. President, who do you want to call?"
"I'd like to bone my friend Reggie, ah - er, I mean phone my friend Reggie."
MEDIA ALERT!! I watched Morning Joe this morning and they STARTED the show and stayed on it for a LONG time about how BAD OBAMA WAS DOING and how TONE DEAF HE IS!!!!!! I was SHOCKED....and they ALL AGREED! SWEET!
Might as well call the original cast of Saturday Night Live.
Instead, he wound up creating the Tea Party.
I just wanna know one thing. Is Obama the twerker, or the twerkee?
“I’d like to bone my friend Reggie, ah - er, I mean phone my friend Reggie.”
I just wanna know one thing. Is Obama the twerker, or the twerkee?
