Too much God.

In Friday’s Wall Street Journal, Peggy Noonan takes a look at President Obama’s Martha's Vineyard vacation and speculates on his thoughts in view of declining poll numbers, and disillusionment among his supporters.
"How could he not be depressed? He has made big mistakes since the beginning of his presidency and has been pounded since the beginning of his presidency. He's got to be full of doubts at this point about what to do. His baseline political assumptions have proved incorrect, his calculations have turned out to be erroneous, his big decisions have turned to dust...."
"Nothing worked! And nothing's going to work. He's the smartest guy in the room, but he's got the reverse Midas touch. Everything he touches turns to—well, unsatisfying outcomes."
But the article is more than failures and vacations. It questions whether Obama should continue to seek a second term. Indeed the subhead of the op-ed is, “Is his visit to Martha's Vineyard a sign that he's giving up?” She concludes her article with an ominous series of statements which are in reality questions for Obama to answer....

That would require a room full of idiots.
Piggy Noonan is a political whore and always will be. Just because you worked for Reagan, doesn’t mean you are a Conservative.

...have you seen his staff?
Too much God.
30 months of relentless beatings with the clue stick hasn't been enough for Peggy.
I'm wondering if some of the people in the WH are getting a little bit tired of his vacations while they do all the work and they all look stupid.
Those of us old enough to remember, can recall the chanting of the lefties. Ho ho hey hey. Blah blah blah LBJ. ad nauseum.
Its time for an update.
Hey hey ho ho. BHO has git to go.
Ho ho hey hey. BHO how many kids have you robbed their future today?
Hey hey ho ho. BHO has got to go.
Oh well. One can dream. Can’t one?

This would be a nightmare. The D’s would nominate someone just as bad but much harder to beat.
Didn’t Peggy vote for Obama?
What objective reason does the media have to keep parroting that characterization? He speaks with a teleprompter and doesn’t do so well without one. He has made gaffes that would have been used by the left to continue painting Bush as stupid if he had made them. We’ve never seen a single college or law school transcript. He’s never held a real job in the private sector. He espouses ridiculous, sophomoric, (and dangerous) ideological positions.
The list goes on. What are they basing their comments on? A book? Even if he did write it cover to cover, which I understand is doubted by many, so what? Lots of people write books, and lots of people write really good books. That doesn’t make them geniuses or have any relevancy as to whether or not they’d be a good president.
I suspect Peggy must be lamenting her own disillusionment as well...
It is racist to criticize Obama for vacationing in Martha’s Vineyard. It is also racist to criticize him for having no debt reduction plan, for declaring Cut, Cap & Balance dead before it had passed the House, for wasting a trillion dollars of stimulus money, for accusing him of using corrupt political influence to grant Obamacare waivers to businesses loyal to his campaign coffers, for not agreeing that his administration has created or saved 2 million jobs, and for pointing out the annual debt has more than quadrupled and our accrued cumulative debt has grown by $6 trillion during his 2.5 years in office.
Furthermore, only a racist will accuse him of weakness for not responding when Putin recently called the US a “parasite” to the world’s economy, and for not even rebuking Pakistan, much less withholding further support when they allowed the Chinese to inspect our crashed helicopter at the bin Laden house. And it really makes my blood boil when racists accuse Obama of exploiting and politicizing the Obama hit by publicizing and releasing information about the SEALS team and then allowing a photo op of himself at Andrews upon the return of the caskets of 30 SEALS team heroes killed by Taliban. Not to mention any racist accusations of the misuse of Justice department in dealing arms to Mexican drug dealers, and new backdoor efforts to implement the Dream Act.
Stand up and fight, Mr. President! Don’t let these racists get you down. Fight on, all the way to election day and don’t change a thing! /s
Did Peggy endorse him in 08?
Blog pimp. I don’t appreciate it one iota.
