Has he gone to survey the damage, yet? Visit?
Oh, I know! The teleprompter fogs-up at those temps.
Imagine if it was Bush?

Nothing paranoid about that. I’ve expecting such a bailout for a while now. And these bozos are trying misdirection like crazy, so why tinfoil?

Yes, but that was pre-Lewinsky.

> There will be no financial recovery until Obozo is out of office!

I think you’ve got it right! I wonder if it will get bad enough for the Dems to start asking about Birth Certificates? (One can hope, ay!)

Things are getting bad for Barry when the New York Times dumps on him like this.

And Frank Rich, no less.

The only thing Rich is worried about is that BO isn’t pulling the wool down over our eye very effectively...

Mainly because it's out of character for me to not accept things at face value.

Like another poster here had written "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar"

I'm hoping that I'm not becoming paranoid is all.

In the beginning I thought the “Birth Certificate” was a tinfoil hat issue.

It is not.

I plead guilty to being a “Birther”.

Not holding my breath, but the collateral damage to the Dem’s of revealing that he is not qualified to hold the office would be huge.

People who predict the future are always wrong, but I have stated since the inauguration (coronation) that the wheels would fly off this thing within 6-months.

It might just happen sooner.

I don’t remember FReepers saying that, although some articles that are posted certainly say he’s some kind of superhero. The fact is that if the Dims didn’t have so many caucus states, where the Chicago thugs could get Zer0 votes by intimidation, and McCain hadn’t stupidly “suspended” his campaign during the bailout “crisis” while Zer0 merely stayed on cruise control, the White House might have a different occupant now. Lucky schmuck with a gift of gab, in the right place at the right time.

Frank Rich is carrying on like a, well, like a gay theater critic with a snake up his pantleg.

We have a government that disallows one member of it being utterly necessary- we can survive without Obama, he’s not a dictator just yet.

I couldn’t believe the way Dennis Miller was sucking Stewart’s ass on O’Reilly the other night, constantly referring to Jon as a “mensch.” Miller can pick the friends he wants but I can think of a few other Yiddish tags that I’d rather put on Stewart.

Unless and until Barack Obama addresses the full depth of Americans’ anger with his full arsenal of policy smarts and political gifts,

Policy smarts? Are you kidding Frankie boy? As for political gifts, that has yet to be completely reveled. I am guessing that some of those gifts could be very embarrassing for the anointed one. Just how many and how much of those gifts were from AIG? (Those are the only "political gifts" this dufus has, believe me.)

I’m a “Birther” too!

Depends on how the Dems play it, ay. They could decide to get onto the front foot and “discover” that the B/C copy they had seen was false or counterfeit, and that they had been “deceived” — thereby throwing His Excellency under the bus.

Or depending upon their Party discipline, they might be able to make sure that he gets nothing accomplished — not sure how that works in the US, but we’d call that “white anting” here in NZ...

Things could get really interesting in the next few months!

Obama on Leno as the economy falters = Obama’s “My Pet Goat” moment!
When will we see THAT in a Michael Moore movie?

The race card has been overplayed and the American people are ticked off.

Let the race card continue to be played and the backlash will continue to grow.

while cracks in the dam are forming, there are still enough useful idiots in the media that will quickly plaster them long enough for Obama to weather the storm. I am just waiting for birak to replace Gibbs with Queef Ogreman as his press secretary.

Miller evidently saw the light after 9-11, but he doesn't take the dangers posed by Obama seriously enough for my interest.

O'Reilly is a jerk who hates the Conservative movement.

Leibowitz is a schmuck whose propaganda is largely responsible for the obamatron mentality that is pervasive in my generation.

My media hero is Mark Levin, and he will most likely stay that way.

Just a little editing:

Unless and until Barack Obama addresses the full depth of Americans’ anger with his full arsenal of policy smarts, of which, he has none, and political gifts, those, of which, are quite useless, his presidency and, worse, our economy will be paralyzed.

“As Freud said, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.””

I thought Clinton said that.
