Is Obama committing political suicide?
Coach is Right ^ | 6/10/2012 | Ron Reale

Posted on 06/10/2012 11:31:03 AM PDT by Oldpuppymax

While President Obama has been especially adroit at destroying the values, and Religious underpinnings of Americans, and tearing down individual freedoms funding apparatus, Capitalism, I never thought I would see him turn his purposely harmful tactics unto his own election campaign.

Are we watching a political suicide in the making?

Can anyone believe the smartest President of modern times, the Harvard professor, is really trying to get re-elected?

After Friday’s speech where he said the “private sector is fine,” and then had to address and walk back that statement? – I have to wonder about his real intentions.

I want to address the unnoticed head shot Obama inflicted upon himself, with no prodding or goading from anyone!

Correct me if I’m wrong, (and I’m sure you will!), but didn’t our esteemed President just wait until 48 hours after the failed Wisconsin recall election to take a side, and didn’t he...

This week, where Obama is concerned, has had a certain ‘feeling’ to it. He looks inept .... his campaign looks fallible, the Dems don’t seem so happy with him these days, he’s spending all his time hobnobbing with the Hollyweirds & his campaign slogan ‘Forward’ really should be rewritten ‘Fore’ward. After this past week, there is ‘blood in the water’ where The Won is concerned. Political blood & the sharks & wolves will be attracted .... especially since he is alienating (either for the first time, or more than he has already) folks that should be stalwart supporters. Cory Booker. Bill Clinton. Saw a quote where Caroline Kennedy can’t stand the sound of his voice any more. Comics are mocking him - a black comic calling Obama the ‘Zebra’ President & expounding that he definitely has a ‘white side’. Well, suddenly the ‘half white’ side (which has been there all along) isn’t being ignored any more. Word is out that he likes spending inordinate amounts of time looking at drone ‘snuff’ films over & over again .... rather odd & repulsive behavior. His campaign donations are falling short - short enough that Romney outdid him in fundraising last month. Valerie Jarrett is mentioned more and more as ‘the puppet master’ and she and Michelle are said to be really running the WH. Now the ‘leaks’ of national security info to make Obama look macho & like a leader which reek of desperation - more supporters will get thrown under the Obama bus to cover this one up. To compound matters, Obama is digging a nice, deep hole, as evidenced by his news conference where he had no ‘news’, just the major ‘gaffe’ that waan’t really just a gaffe .... and true to form, he doesn’t learn from his mistakes & keeps on digging. Even Axelrod isn’t going to be able to grease up re-election path to the WH enough to slide Obummer back in if things keep going the way they are going. It’s “not over til it’s over” and he’s truly out of the WH along with The Mooch, the Wee Wons & Jarrett carrying the luggage, but I’m liking the trend.

The economy was going down the tubes before 2008. The global economy is in worse shape than ours. Muslims are taking over the western world, and many Christians are afraid to even believe John 14:6 much less state it in public.

I think that the GOP threw the election in 2008 to leave the Dems holding the bag when economic/racial/religious/nationalist issues blew up in our faces.

Now, the Dems are doing the same. The old political game of musical chairs has morphed into a game of hot potato.

He is as smart as one Cassius Clay, once considered an intellectual genius by the cream of the New York society including such luminaries like Norman Mailer and many others whom you might even respect, until a recent book by a journalist who followed poor dumb Cassius from the beginning, but apparently played along with the game the whole time, that is until writing this expose.

?????????????????????

"Intellectual genius"? C'mon.

They thought Ali was a great fighter, a genius at boxing. And he was.

Nobody said Ali was Aristotle or Kant or Einstein.

Nobody ever said O.J. Simpson -- Nordberg from the Naked Gun flicks -- was a genius either.

Where are you going with these comparisons, anyway?

Have the leaks gotten any attention in the mainstream media? Obama may be able to count on the media treating it as a non-story...and the two investigators to take so long investigating that nothing comes out before the election.

Next Sunday is the 40th anniversary of the Watergate break-in. Although the media turned it into a big scandal in 1973 in order to bring down Nixon, in 1972 it got little attention during the period between when the burglars were caught and the election.

I don’t think she likes him very much and I don’t like him either but I would be careful about the sex allegations.

Apparently you don’t remember how the New York elite would hang on to every word uttered by Cassius and consider it deep wisdom, in a way similar to treatment the fictional Chauncey Gardiner received in Being There. Apparently you don’t watch much television where retired football jocks, presumably as literate as the one time hero O.J. Simpson, whose illiteracy I distinctly recall had not been exposed prior to the murders, how those retired football jocks are treated as deep thinkers. Where can one go with all that except to the ever present guilt of white America over slavery and the Leon Trotsky brilliant invention called “racism”.

It's still early. Obama would have to lose 15% of his 2008 vote even if Romney achieves a vote total as great as McCain.

We have several other potential candidates who could do much better than that and probably win.

Knowing that, Obama probably figures he can be quite reckless!

Ostupid is dumber than a wilting carrot, a box of rocks would clean his clock on the American Civic Literacy test. If this is what Harvard and the University of Chicago are producing, we should just nuke the two facilities from space to prevent the spread of their viral stupidity, just to be sure.
You could fill every volume the old hard copy Encyclopedia Britannica with all of his ahs, ums, uhs, and “let me make this perfectly clears”. The only time when he is off the teleprompter that he is even a moderately animated speaker, (not orator); is when he is spewing his socialist, class warfare, the world is not fair to the lazy crap to his plebeian mob who are even stupider than him. Any decent high school debating team member would chew him up and spit him out on any impromptu topic I could ever dream up.

From the thread : Seven Reasons Why Mitt Romney Is The Favorite In November

The first item in the list should be : "because Obama is and will continue to push for a massive shift leftward up until the very day of the election." Obama's sole purpose from this point forward is to move as far left as he can in order to make Romney "look conservative" by comparison.

By November pundits will be publicly scratching their heads and "trying" to figure out if Obama is "crazy like a fox" or "just plain crazy". They will bloviate about how out-of-touch Obama is with the electorate and how damaging this policy shift is to his re-election campaign. They will show strength for Romney by pointing out the difference in their poll numbers favoring him.

By the time mom-n-pop-America figure out that Obama is throwing the election to his liberal republican counterpart, it may be too late to do much about it. Only by being voted out of office (rather than perp walked out of office) will the ink on the socialist advances he's made begin to dry. Then, in will come Romney to "cut out the bad parts, but work within the existing legislation" to get the job done. And any chance we have to toss out ObamaCare and the Supreme Court appointments Obama has made go right out the Window.

I hope, as Obama becomes more obvious in throwing the election, our side will wake up. But, many people (FReepers included) will be blinded by the joy of seeing Obama's popularity fail. There is a bigger picture at stake, FRiends. Romney is a pawn, a stealth democrat, and a part of the problem -- not the solution.

The Ottoman Empire had a very low-key permanent government, and a high profile Sultanate.

The sultan was kept entertained by parties, visting digniataries, visits to this and that, dope of all kinds, rich food AND he had a harem of dozens of women.

When the Sultan died an heir was chosen in a palace battle where all the sibling competitors fought it out in life and death contests, and at the end, the harem women were murdered and disposed of.

The permanent government carried on as usual and began a new round of parties for the new Sultan to select a new harem.

The way that thing got started was a series of idiots in the Sultanate. We are working hard on emulating it ~ so far we've had Carter and Obama doing the idiot part, and with a bit of effort we could have eased Bill Clinton into that sex job, and LBJ would have fit nicely as well.

The rot in many empires has frequently started at the top. We are likely overdue for a modification of the Executive Branch so we don't have more of this going on.

He went to Harvard.

He was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Chicago.

So he’s a Harvard Professor now?

In four more years the press will be saying that 0bama single-handedly founded the Harvard Law School and personally cut and laid every stone in every building on campus. During those years of grueling manual labor, for which he took no pay, he taught all the law courses on lunch and rest breaks and saw to it that the first class at Harvard Law graduated with honors.

He’s just a useful tool and his handlers play to his ego to keep him on track. If he was actually smart, he would be even mor edangerous than those who pull the cord from the little hole in his back.

The MSM is busy at work 24 hours a day helping Obama win a second term.

That's softening.

Perhaps you've missed all of the negative stories and reporting about Obama in the MSM lately. It's been a hot topic around here. Even some lefties are beginning to doubt whether Wonder Boy can win re-election. Some are openly wondering whether he even should.

Oh, c'mon. The lefties all agree that he was a professor, and he's never denied it, or corrected them. Isn't that good enough for you, or are you one of those hateful right-wing extremists who requires documentary evidence?

Geeez....the nerve of some people... /sarc

BOOYAH!

Ann continues.....

"Obama is simply a complete idiot. Stop trying to push a square peg into a round hole. Stop trying to process this using the assumption that Obama is in any way intelligent. Face reality. He isn't a Manchurian candidate. He isn't brainwashed. You have to actually have a BRAIN in order to be brainwashed. Obama is a mentally defective, drug-addled, sodomite psychopath that a cadre of Communist oligarchs are using as a theatrical facade."
