Obama needs to flex his political muscle
The Washington Post ^ | 02/28/10 | Dana Milbank

Posted on 02/27/2010 10:41:55 AM PST by bulldozer

Our president is not a bully; in fact, he is the victim of bullying. He is bullied by Republicans on health care. He is bullied by congressional Democrats on everything. He is bullied by his own Cabinet. Dick Cheney pauses in his bullying of Obama only for the occasional heart attack.

He might be able to do it if he had some political muscle to flex.

It's quite obvious that Dana-boy didn't watch the proceedings of the summit to see his butt-boy barrack get his balls handed to him on a platter.

If there was EVER an obama performance that shows his lack of qualification as pResident, it was this summit.

How very "UN"-presidential of him to even participate in such a forum...this was something that needed to be ironed out by legislators; yet, there he was, in all of his self-deluded glory, trying to play "community organizer POTUS".

So, what Dana-Boy wrote, makes not a nickles worth of difference, as he writes about how he WANTS things to be, not how they really are.

Hell, since they stopped people from crashing obama's weekly "pah-tays", Dana's got to do something to get an invitation...doesn't he? She? He? Whatever.

I really couldn’t bring myself to move beyond that first sentence. As the students in my high school would text: WTF?

“Actually, Mao’s summation of the philosophy established earlier by the U.S. Founding Fathers is more accurate: “Power comes from the barrel of a gun.”

Like “guns don’t kill people, people kill people”, a gun without a determined person’s hand has no power.

Unfortunately right now they have bigger guns and we haven’t been pushed far enough. But when push finally comes to shove, when PEOPLE have finally had enough, history has shown that anything at their disposal will work - rocks, knives, pitchforks, bare hands, fertilizer... even suicide bombers.

Having said that, I’m all in favor of people having guns and just about anything else they want for self defense - this will insure that the pushing stays to a minimum.

Doesn’t an effective bully have to know what it is exactly he wants to do? Obama’s foggy swiss cheese brain can’t fill in the details to provide any clear and precise direction.

I think Milbank's a he, and also think this is the stupidest, most pointless, and least interesting thing I've ever read, and I read the backs of cereal boxes.

Obviously Milbank didn't watch the healtcare summit - he's only writing about what he wishes his cool-and-cerebral-hero the Obungler looked like, not the reality of this petty, condescending, arrogant, narcissistic little man who claims to be president. And also obviously, Milbank has a crush on Gordon Brown - he seems to admire the chair-throwing and cursing.

Other than that, this mess is the usual waste of time from Milbank and the WaCompost.

Dana, when you put down the Koolaid and think, do you really believe there are enough Republicans in DC to stop anything? Wake up! The blame Republicans game is just a dodge to distract public attention away form the failures of Democratic Party. The dog and pony show was nothing but a prelude to the nuclear option. The nuclear option will become SOP. Welcome to the dictatorship.

Apparently we were supposed to deduce the “barf alert” by considering the source? Thanks to you, my keyboard needs a good scrubbing. ;-) (just kidding).
