Why Obama Will Be Clinton Without The Comeback
Big Government ^ | 2-16-10 | Thomas Del Beccaro

Posted on 2/17/2010, 5:51:42 AM by kingattax

The retirement of Evan Bayh is the latest heralding of difficult 2010 election year for the Democrats. It is also a symptom of Obama’s mid 40s approval rating.

Smart Democrats know that the average midterm election year losses for the President’s party, when his approval rating is below 50%, is 41 seats in the House. Three Presidents in the modern era suffered such a fate – Johnson, Ford and Bill Clinton.

Of those three, only Clinton went on to win a second term. While it is likely Obama will suffer huge mid-term losses, it is more than unlikely that he will enjoy Clinton’s revival.

And I wonder WHY no one was willing to talk about the “other guy” who was seen leaving the truck with Mcveigh?? He was allowed to just ‘slip away”.

Anyone else know what picture I am referring to??

He’s shown so much socialism and just bad judgement to be seen as dangerous even by some dems. He’ll be an official lame duck afetr the Nov elections and we’ll be better off for it.

Clinton knew where to hide the bodies. Obambi has no exec. experience, and the first major scandal in the admin. will send them into a headless-chicken frenzy.

Zer0 can’t move to the center.<<,/I>

No because he’s a slave, his owner/s won’t permit it.


He’s between a rock and a damned hard place. His

owners/masters are not happy with the inneptness of the

fool. He’s too narcissistic to understand personal danger.

If such a thing were to happen under Obama, there would be an entirely different reaction. The nation would blame Obama for allowing such a thing to happen.

Right. He’s screwed himself by his actions and has absolutely no defense to fall back on.

What saved Clinton was the Oklahoma City bombing.

...and the authorities' botch of the John Doe #2 search. Clinton would never have had the guts to pursue any possible foreign terrorist leads.

Jose' Padilla / John Doe 2?

You obviously know what I was referring to.

Clinton or Reno did NOT want there to be ANY foreign connection to the OK. bombing...they wanted it all to be an “angry white man”. So...they totally ignored the “other guy”.

Guantanamo, NYC trials, Christmas bombing attempt, etc., etc.

The list is long and very unfavorable. This guy is a walking disaster and more and more are waking up. His approval rating will be at 15% pretty soon.

This is so worth repeating......Good ammunition!

“Clinton’s revivals, especially at the Presidential level, can be directly tied to the fact (1) that he had executive experience, (2) that he dealt with the need to build consensus out of division, (3) that he had advisors pushing him to do that, AND (4) that he was smart enough to have such advisors and to listen to them.

Obama, quite frankly, has none of that going for him.

First, Obama has had no executive experience and has never worked in setting which required consensus building. That is because Senators don’t have to govern and community organizers preach to their own. That inexperience is now showing in spades. As I wrote in my article, How Many Fights Will Obama Pick With America, Obama’s first strategy was divisive not consensus building. His deficit exploding Stimulus Package, Cap and Trade, Health Care and Civil Terror trial initiatives are and remain ideologically based and unsuccessful. Beyond that, President Obama’s agenda is being whipsawed by Congresswoman Pelosi. Simply stated, an effective, experienced chief executive never would let a member of congress control his fate to this degree.

As for his advisors, the radical ties of his Czars are well documented and David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel are no Dick Morris. Indeed, notwithstanding the loss of the Kennedy seat (as Democrats view it), Obama’s budget belies any claim to moderation as does his continued push for health care, cap and trade and now tax hikes. Beyond that, Obama has already lost control of the jobs bill and Nancy and Harry are committed to legislating from the Left – a big factor in Bayh’s retirement. Dick Morris never would have let that occurred – apparently Axelrod and Emanuel either don’t understand that or can’t prevent it.

In sum, we have met Barack Obama, we now know Barack Obama and he is no Bill Clinton. Let’s just hope Republicans recall the lessons of 1994 even Obama can’t.”

Obama needs to call in Jimmy Carter for some sage political advice — I hear that Carter is not only the most brilliant living Demagogue but also a world authority on relations with Iran.....

And failed presidencies.

I remember the Okla City bombimg, good on-line book, The Oklahoma City Bombing and the Politics of Terror, see quote below.
http://www.constitution.org/ocbpt/ocbpt.htm
“Federal prosecutors introduced no witnesses who could have placed McVeigh in Oklahoma City on April 19… because McVeigh was always seen in the company of other suspects — a can of worms the government, and the defense, could not afford to open. Yet while prosecutors interspersed relatively circumstantial evidence with heart-wrenching and completely irrelevant tales from tearful bombing victims, the defense wasn’t allowed to present any expert witnesses debunking the government’s “single bomb” theory, or any evidence linking other suspects to the crime!”

Jayna Davis has done a lot of great investigative work on the OKcity Bombing here is her website: http://www.jaynadavis.com/

">>Zer0 can’t move to the center.<<

Because he is so vapid and stupid he thinks he is already there."

Nothing proved that point better than when idiot boy stood there and said "I'm not an ideologue. I'm not"

That literal bass-turd is the stone cold epitome of an ideologue!
