Obama's 'They-Did-It' Campaign
National Review Online ^ | 6-20-2012 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 06/20/2012 5:39:09 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

The next five months should be interesting — given that Barack Obama is now experiencing something entirely unique in his heretofore stellar career: widespread criticism of his performance and increasing weariness with his boilerplate and his teleprompted eloquence.

Starting with his Occidental days, and going on through Columbia, Harvard, Chicago, the U.S. Senate, and the 2008 campaign, rarely has Mr. Obama faced much criticism, much less any accountability that would involve judging his rhetoric by actual achievement.

(snip) What then to expect if the race remains tight or Obama finds himself behind?

1. There will be lots more “the dog ate my homework” excuses for the dismal economy.

We do not know who is going to win the 2012 election, only that it will be closer than the 2008 one...
It probably will be close, because of massive voter fraud. Without voter-fraud it will be an Obama defeat of major proportions.

It's easy to BS your way through school. And after that the man never did anything but get elected, usually by destroying his opponent well before a vote was cast, e.g. getting Jack and Jeri Ryan's sealed divorce proceedings made public.

In February, 2009, Obama said that if he had not turned the economy around within 3 years, his would be a one-term proposition. Instead of turning the economy around, we got Obamacare, which is about to be ruled unconstitutional. The man wasted his time and ours, and our children's money.

"When will the thin-skinned narcissist blow a gasket?"

He came close to blowing one in the Rose Garden this week.

He reminds me of the movie “Catch Me If You Can”... (based on a true story)... its amazing what a person can get away with if they act confidently and if people are afraid of being labeled a “racist”...

” - - - When will the thin-skinned narcissist blow a gasket? “

When Romney finally gets around to asking Obama about his 3 1/2 year Financial Stewardship.

Obama can run, but he cannot hide from accountability.

That is true for the most part. However in 0dumb0's case, I think this is exactly why he does not want to release any of his grade transcripts from Occidental, Columbia or Harvard. I think his sloppiness, slovenly work habits, lack of any tangible achievements, will clearly show up in his grade transcripts that I believe hover somewhere between D & F(failure). He advanced through school solely on the basis of affirmative action and the fact that Khalid Monseur or Saudi Arabia gave millions of dollars to Harvard in exchange for allowing 0dumb0 into Harvard and then allowing 0dumb0 to graduate (most likely at the bottom of his class).
