BTW, hey, Politico, he's not my President. He's just the scumbag squatting in 1600 PA AVE NW for now.

Otherwise, I agree with the McConnell spokesman. He's desperate.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I think this strategy will fail because whether or not a few Wall Street executives get slapped around has little tangible impact upon the typical Obama voter, sitting at home watching Judge Judy on her couch in Detroit.

You will know it's panic when you see more retail-level pandering such as capping bank fees, cable TV rates, credit card interest, a foreclosure moratorium, etc.

Once chastised for not being tough enough, President Barack Obama has lately been getting personal with his political adversaries — singling them out for scorn in speeches, interviews, asides and even in his weekly radio address.

He's lost every debate. Socialism always fails. All he has left to work with is ridicule.
All those who don't agree with him are called poo poo heads. That ought to win hearts and minds, right?

[Lancey Howard]

Rather than just going after big groups of bad guys — insurance companies, lobbyists, the media — Obama has adopted a strategy that gives a face to the enemy.

This is the very old Alinsky tactic that the rats have been using for decades. Ken Starr, New Gingrich, Tom DeLay, Karl Rove, Sarah Palin... the rats pick one "face" and use relentless ridicule to make that face the "face of the Republican party". They tried it with Rush and it blew up in their stinking faces. It's not working even a little bit with Palin.

Ubanga and the rats can't seem to decide who the new "face" should be.

pure alinsky...put a face on it, to mass the ridicule and scorn against by the drones...

id call it thug politics, but thug would assume that the poser is intimidating...not...

Barry’s increasingly bizarre personal attacks on citizens validates that he’s dishonorable and of low character .
And an unmanly weakling.
He’s unraveling in public, in private he must be a real piece of work.
Reggie has his work cut out for him consoling and calming Barry with massages, scented candles and bubble baths.
The White House may be forced at some point ,
to excuse his inappropriate behavior by playing the sympathy card and blaming his mental disability-NPD.

[mojito]

The great 0 is just falling back on his Alinskyite training: personalize the enemy.

[happygrl]

This is where he's at, only 15 months into office.

That's why I continue to predict that, given the Republicans sweep the elections in the fall, he will resign.

He will not waNt to kowtow to a Republican Congress.

[mojitojoe]

He is mentally ill and I’m not joking. He will only get worse.

[Genoa]

Sorry your thread got perverted.
