...as it stands right now, Obama’s failing to connect and Garrett cited his so-called Twitter town hall meeting as an attempt almost in desperation to resurrect the messaging success the president in his prior election. “[I]f people aren’t listening to you on that core message, it doesn’t matter what you say anymore,” he said.

>>Major Garrett: Obama ‘Bordering on Panic,’ ‘Dangerously Close’ to Losing Connection With Americans<<

Based on the title, I can only assume this article is about two years old. Urkel crossed that line quite a while ago.

Remember...

“The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. (via ~ GUNNY G: BLOGGER 1984 (+)

"We need some stalwart jack russel media types to dog his heels. Alas, there are none."

There are so many prize-winning items to be reported on Obama. So many "journalists" who could make enormous names for themselves, surpassing Woodward and Burnstein (sp?).

If and only if our press wasn't totally corrupt.

But all it will take is one to break from the pack... perhaps Major Garrett is he.

Major's married to a news babe isn't he?

Now THAT is one of the most accurate statements ever posted on this subject in this forum EVER.

Several puff pieces about Hillary Clinton in the MSM

If Hillary were to win a primary challange, would Soros run Obama as an Independent?

Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?

need to send him a bowl of strawberries.
Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers...

She won’t challenge him openly..because the black vote would stay home..and then there is NO way any Dem could win..NO..if his poll numbers continue to tank, possibly some Dems leaders, if the CBC concurs would go to Obama and suggest that he not run again...this would have to be handled very carefully, and give the Dems plenty of time to make sure the black vote stays engaged. I think the window for this to happen is about next February...

Obama is a pressure cooker, and the heat is rising.

Regards the plethora of exposable actions, there has not been such a rich source of material for a long time. Indeed, it is the propaganda arm of the DNC (LSM) acting as the very lid on the cooker.

>>> Major Garret: “.... dangerously close to losing that connection with the American people on what he knows about the economy and what he can predict about the economy.”

SINCE WHEN did Obama know anything about the economy, let alone ‘predict it’?

The guy is NOT even qualified to run a lemonade stand.

One more of my favorites...

GOVERNMENT ARROGANCE IS OUT OF CONTROL!

Sooner or later, it will have to be the American people themselves
that decide to put a stop to this out-of-control government
arrogance. Perhaps the sentiments of the late Lyn Nofziger will be
helpful at this point.

You will recall that Mr. Nofziger served as press secretary in Ronald
Reagan’s administration as Governor of California and as a White
House advisor during the Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan
presidencies. Shortly before he passed away, he composed a short
treatise entitled “These Things I Believe.” Here it is:

These things I believe:

That government should butt out.
That freedom is our most precious commodity and if we are not eternally vigilant, government will take it all away.
That individual freedom demands individual responsibility.
That government is not a necessary good but an unavoidable evil.
That the executive branch has grown too strong, the judicial branch too arrogant and the legislative branch too stupid.
That political parties have become close to meaningless.
That government should work to insure the rights of the individual, not plot to take them away.
That government should provide for the national defense and work to insure domestic tranquillity.
That foreign trade should be fair rather than free.
That America should be wary of foreign entanglements.
That the tree of liberty needs to be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That guns do more than protect us from criminals; more importantly, they protect us from the ongoing threat of government.
That states are the bulwark of our freedom.
That states should have the right to secede from the Union.
That once a year we should hang someone in government as an example to his fellows.
Ref

This is what you get when the resume of the President consists of being a professional c- student, a community agitator, and a US Senator for 142 days where you never did anything but vote “present”. Of course we have to give him a pass on the Senator thing because it takes absolutely no skill at all to be a Senator.
