Add to that “Let me be perfectly clear...(followed by) blah blah blah”. Also, he will likely throw in his bill cosby jello pudding voice at some point.

[SE Mom]

Good point. That’s really the fundamental issue here, isn’t it? It’s extraordinary to step back and look at the silence from the press on Van Jones.

This guy wasn’t a back-bencher either- he was/is a major voice in the radical leftist “community”..and yet there seemed to be no curiousity to investigate him.

[Northern Yankee]

He does nothing to unite the country, but continues to pit groups of people against each other. That will continue to be his undoing.

[new cruelty]

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your Obama can do for you - ask what you can do for your Obama.

That's brilliant.

The question today, kiddies, is what does a con man do to regain trust after he has been proven to be a fraud. The Department of Education will soon send out “resource materials” to help you formulate your answers.

[PA-RIVER]

His condescending attack on the police for “acting stupidly” set things in motion. I know quite a few people were disgusted after seeing that.

In effect, the group thought for many was “The Presidents playing the race card, again, what a scumbag”.

[Northern Yankee]

Yep... he's his own worst enemy.

Wonder if Chrissy Matthews still gets that tingly feeling up and down his leg?

[AmericanVictory]

Narcissus leans out over the pool further the better to see his own reflection.

[Jess Kitting]

the President is left appearing as though he understands very little about the country he serves.

Obama serves the country? He acts as if it is the other way around.

"Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what you can do for Obama."

[Kaslin]

What do you expect from this arrogant p o s?

[uncbob]

I doubt there is any speech Obama can give to turn things around. People are on to him like the snake oil salesman he is. Another speech about the wonders of his elixir will no help.

Never underestimate the boob mentality of the undecideds

Obama got elected because the MSM spin worked and it can work again

[thirst4truth]

It seems the man has been doing nothing but giving speeches, here and abroad, and vacationing with very little governing sprinkled in between.

That is why he has hired 43 Czars, so they can do all the decision making and work and he can continue to vote present, give speeches and travel in the ultimate pimp mobile (Airforce One).

[Caipirabob]

You peasants just don’t understand what “the one” has to deal with! ; )

[fortunecookie]

Yes, he does. Clueless? Or just doesn’t care if he offends? It’s hard to tell anymore.

[uncbob]

.but it was nonetheless brilliant and effective.

I don't buy that brilliant etc anymore than I did about Clinton being a great politician

Without the MSM covering for both of them they are NOTHING

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

"It’s yet another thing to be offensive, and to be clueless about it. "

The problem is attitude and the arrogance that goes with it.
He has an attitude.
There are not so subtle undertones of payback and back-talking that have been
part of this. The "wee-weed up" bit and Van's a-hole remark.
Usually followed by giggling, high-fiving, and the Urkel attitude,
as if there is something funny about being rude, back-talking,and talking in
condescending ways to Americans. This is not the way to behave and to talk to
Americans. Maybe this works on the basketball court or in a locker room at a
slick Hawaii prep school or at Columbia and Harvard where preferential
treatment and pampering are part of the affirmative action system.
But it's no way to lead this nation.

You would think the author who wrote about "no sudden moves"
in Dreams from My Father would be sharp enough to know this.
But maybe it's just been a game for him all along.

[Albion Wilde]

Due to the "dumb quotient" of the average citizen who has been educated in the post-Marxist era, fundamental tenets of our nation's revolutionary history need to be explained in the alternate media, since no one in the MSM even knows these basics any more.

It is as if someone erased the notion of arithmetic from the public consciousness. Some things just don't add up; but most people don't even know about adding, and denounce those who understand mathematic principles as rigid, authoritarian bigots.

[Kaslin]

But maybe it's just been a game for him all along.

It looks that way
