Obama: Getting things done, and losing
Troy Reimink | The Grand Rapids Press

Seems like everywhere you look it's bad news for President Obama. New polling on 2012 shows him tied with Sarah Palin and behind every hypothetical Republican nominee besides Jan Brewer. His own press secretary freely admits Democrats could lose the House of Representatives in November.

But is the conventional wisdom here selling Obama short? Even one of his harshest critics in the media, columnist Charles Krauthammer, warns eager conservatives (and, by extension, worried liberals) not to underestimate Obama in 2012.

So far, Krauthammer writes, Obama's presidency already is as consequential as that of Ronald Reagan:

[Libloather]

Hussien sucks. I hope that can be fixed.

[Thrownatbirth]

Consequential - but not in a good way.

[Roccus]

It can.....but it won’t be.

[La Enchiladita]

Where did the title come from?

So far, Krauthammer writes, Obama's presidency already is as consequential as that of Ronald Reagan:

I don't think he is there yet, and I don't even think that he will reach that level, but if one sees the United States as much more substantial and significant than the Soviet Union, then you have to admit that Reagan only destroyed the number two super power, the Soviet Union, while Obama is striving to bring down the more much more powerful, United States.

[Logical me]

I feel the same way. I'm too old with the normal old ailments to be much concerned anymore. The utter total destruction before 2012 comes will be irreversible for many generations. The hope for 2010 will not mean much since there are no real Constitutional conservatives but just politicians as usual. Even if we could take the House without the Senate we are dead in the water. King Obama and his communists Administration did not destroy America, Americans did.

The Rats keep surprising us with some new “impossible” chaos every now and then. Getting the Rats and then Bummer pinned to the mat for the count is by no means impossible, but will be most surely a nip-and-tuck operation.

I'm 64 with about a year left (according to doctors), and yet I care.

[GOPJ]

You’re in my prayers. Please stay with us...

[doc1019]

Didn’t post for sympathy, just to make a point. My death will allow me to be with Jesus, so death has no hold on me. But, thank you for your prayers.

[Artemis Webb]

Jeez ...Class of 98 and you still haven’t learned to post.

(But yes...Hussien does suck)

[Doogle]

A limit on what you will do, puts a limit on what you can do.

[Libloather]

Where did the title come from?

It's all mine. Enjoy.

Did I miss something?

[Libloather]

I'm 64 with about a year left (according to doctors), and yet I care.

Hussein is on vacation in Maine. You really think your year left means something? Think again.

[GOPJ]

You’ll be in a better place when the time comes - but for now - I like having you here - always nice to have fellow conservatives to hang out with...

[doc1019]

Even though I know my ultimate destination ... I’m still not anxious to die. Only because, when I die I will have no more chances to please GOD here on Earth. I can no longer preach the gospel, nor will I be able to tell anyone about Jesus.

[potlatch]

[You’re in my prayers. Please stay with us...]

I share GOPJ’s wonderful words to you doc.

I care too, for the sake of my children and grandchildren, but all I can do is keep praying.

[doc1019]

I can only think positively ... sick I might be, but I can still vote.

[Frantzie]

Consequential in destroying this country thanks to McCain-Feingold and idiots who wwatch TV. TV could keep Obama in power forever because the public are controlled by TV.

Cable and Sat TV bills paid by conservatives plus balls gamnes keep him in power. American Sheeple.

“I’m 64 with about a year left (according to doctors), and yet I care.”

I’ll be 60 next year and I’m a cancer patient, and I care a GREAT deal! Sometimes my wife says I care too much. However, when it comes to my beloved America, one cannot care “too much.”

[doc1019]

AMEN!

[doc1019]

Wish I had never mentioned my scheduled demise. Not part of my point. My point ... regardless the circumstances, never give up on America.

[Libloather]

I can only think positively ... sick I might be, but I can still vote.

Keep your arrows straight (so to speak) and your aim the same.

[UCANSEE2]

This ought to make you feel better...

If we were able to take control of our education system, our graduate school system, and the MEDIA, and remove the communist/socialist/marxist brainwashing that has been going on..... It would take 20 years for us to produce a generation that was free of such notions.

[Libloather]

Wish I had never mentioned my scheduled demise.

Are you KIDDING? You've got a BILLBOARD! Time to mention - EVERTHING!

[UCANSEE2]

Where did the title come from?

I think it was a CME.

A Cranial Mass Ejection.

[UCANSEE2]

I'm 64 with about a year left ...

A year can be forever.

[doc1019]

I have over 11k posts, I think I have said everything! LOL!

[Libloather]

A Cranial Mass Ejection.

And what am I agreeing to?

[doc1019]

Gosh, I wish I could erase what I said. Was not my point.

[Libloather]

I have over 11k posts

Who is counting - besides you? (And, after that tenthousands' entry, does it really matter?)

[Pining_4_TX]

I will pray for you also.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1

[doc1019]

Obviously you haven’t read all the post on this tread.

[doc1019]

Thank you.

[Libloather]

Obviously you haven’t read all the post on this tread.

Obviously you haven’t drank all the post on this tread.

If there are any questions, please submit.

“This is a site for people who haven’t given up...”

I’ll fight the SOBs until I die come what may.

The battle is never over. Never.

[doc1019]

by the way “haven’t drank” is grammatically incorrect. Just call me the grammatical nazi. ... gosh I love traveling on the dark side once in a while.

[Libloather]

I think I have said everything!

Do you have a website?

[meadsjn]

My point ... regardless the circumstances, never give up on America.

I agree.

[doc1019]

I do, but to give it away would eliminate my anonymity. I also have a blog that has over a 300K hits (and growing) a month.

[doc1019]

Thank you.

[bellringer]

Not sure who said it, but think it applies, “For evil to triumph, all that’s necessary is for good men to fail to act”—I too am a Christian, and believe my personal journey is one of Spiritual warfare. Prayers for you and your family—we are human and may get discouraged every now and then, but we cannot be deterred. God Bless.
Let freedom ring!

Wow.

My gramer are subject to no scrutization. My speling is always ubove reproch, althoug my punchations, is, sometimes, suspect.

If we ever become pals, you're gonna need to produce some grammatical evidence...

>’Gosh, I wish I could erase what I said. Was not my point”<

Don't worry, your point was taken.

People here care about their fellow FReepers. I'm a bit younger than you and I have been dealing with Leukemia for the past five years. I can only hope to live to your ripe old age, but I don't dwell on it, just like you don't dwell on it.

There are people here who have posted kind words and have me in their thoughts and prayers. Self pity is not a Conservative attribute, fighting the good fight is.

Every day is a gift, and every day we have an opportunity to interact with some wonderful people on this site. We may not always agree, but I know in my heart of hearts that 99% of the people here spend their time and money on FR because they care about the future of our wonderful Country and they know how exceptional, and how rare, the experiment called America has been for over 200 years.

What makes us different than the posters on Daily Kos and Rat Underground is the fact that we do what we do for love of Country, not for attaining power over our fellow Citizens to prove that a failed Ideology will bring nirvana.

Take care and whether you like it or not (LOL), people here are thinking and praying for you. Have a good night FRiend.
