Republicans not ready to rout Obama
John Kass
September 25, 2011
America is finally wising up to President Barack Obama, a nice guy who prepared for the presidency by being a follower, by avoiding confrontation while cozying up to City Hall.
So with the economy in such bad shape, shouldn't this rather flawed Obama be easy Republican pickings in the 2012 presidential election?
No.
And from what I've seen of the Republican establishment front-runner candidates, I don't think they can take him. And here's why:
Rick Perry. The governor of Texas is falling in the polls, perhaps because he can't get it through his head that America has already had its fill of a big-government Republican from Texas.
Perry's executive order forcing young girls to be vaccinated against sexually transmitted disease will bury him. Perry now acknowledges he made a mistake, that he should have let parents decide.
But when he had the chance, he used government power to force his will upon people. He's Bush III. Perry makes No Child Left Behind seem like a fairy tale with a happy ending.

Lost me on the first sentence. Obama is not a nice guy.
......Barack Obama, a nice guy...
He’s an evil demon who hates America and all she stands for.
“President Barack Obama, a nice guy who prepared for the presidency”
I didn’t even both reading the rest of this fellatio article
>>America is finally wising up to President Barack Obama, a nice guy who prepared for the presidency by being a follower
Yeah. His 2008 supporters are wising up to fact that he was a follower of MARX and Mo’Ham Ed! The rest of us always knew that.
Much better.
“He’s an evil demon who hates America and all she stands for.”
Agree, and the GOP better find a winning candidate fast. Obama is on the ropes now, but don’t count him out.
Cracks appear in Obama’s Chicago base

“There’s a lot of people who are pretty depressed; there are some who are aggressively negative about Obama himself,” art dealer Paul Gray says.
President Barack Obama’s Chicago-based re-election campaign has a hometown problem: the donors and volunteers who have lost interest after launching his run for the White House four years ago.
The glow of the epochal election of the nation’s first African-American president has faded amid a dramatic fall in the president’s popularity, a persistently lousy economy and an administration that has been less transformative than promised.
And among Jewish contributors, a bulwark of his local donor base, some have been turned off by Mr. Obama’s call for Israel to give up part of its territory.
Other key supporters, while remaining loyal, are dispirited by the turn of events.
“Oh, it’s going to be much tougher this time,” says Chicago art dealer Paul Gray, who rounded up as much as $800,000 for the first Obama presidential campaign. “There’s a lot of people who are pretty depressed; there are some who are aggressively negative about Obama himself.”

Perry’s problem is immigration, not Gardisil. The next president won’t be choosen based on whether an executive that never went into effect was opt-in or opt-out. But saying the people you need to vote for you don’t have a heart is poisen. He needs to apoligize for using that language, at least.
Don't want a Duesenberg with Tommy Gunners on the running boards doing a drive-by on yo as’
Kass-hole, put your money where your mouth is, get down at BetFair on Bobo or any p2p option site and I'm sure some Freeper *ahem* will be glad to take your money.
High school level analysis.
A little psych-out being attempted by the Chicago Tribune?
What do they mean, the Republicans are not “ready” to take on Obama? The election is still some thirteen and half months away, the selection process is just barely getting started.
Time is not Obama’s friend. With the mounting internal scandal possibilities, from Fast & Furious, to Solyndra, to a peculiar ineptitude to actually GOVERN, bypssing the normal administrative channels with “Czars” taking over the functions of the various Cabinet posts, and most of all, an absolute tin ear for what is about to rise and engulf the economic foundations of this country, this regime is headed into a perfect storm, one way beyond whatever could be blamed on George W. Bush. They have had nearly three years, five if you count the revolution they mounted in 2006, branding the Republicans as “the party of corruption”.
But this screed is coming from the mouthpiece for the city that pretty much holds most of the patent rights on corruption, Chicago, which WALLOWS in “crony capitalism”.
Wow. A lefty hack Chi town journalist thinks the GOP field is full of whack jobs and kooks. He also like Ron Paul’s brand of nit wittery. Who would have seen that coming?
FU CHEECHAGO>>>>>>>>>>>>> LIONS WIN LIONS WIN LIONS WIN LIONS WIN LIONS WIN LIONS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John Kass? Wonder why he doesn’t go by Jack?
Actually John Kass is the ONLY conservative at the Tribune.

On a sliding scale/sarc
Obama never prepared for the presidency.
Any of the Republican candidates will beat Obama.
America will not survive another Obama term, and Americans are wising up to that harsh reality.
