Obama’s Point of No Return

Obama’s Oil Spill combined with Obama’s Mosque and every other hare brained thing he does every day, day after day, destroyed him. He is a disaster.

We will agree to disagree. This was the moment when his popularity started to decline, especially among white voters. He crossed the Rubicon. You can't unring a bell no matter how the MSM tries to spin it

The Gates incident took place on July 16, 2009. On July 22, President Barack Obama commented on the incident, criticizing the arrest and the response by the police. On July 24, Obama invited both parties to the White House to discuss the issue over beers, and on July 30, Obama and Vice President Joe Biden joined Crowley and Gates in a private, cordial meeting in a courtyard near the White House Rose Garden; this became known colloquially as the "Beer Summit". Check out the following from Rasmussen and notice when the lines cross in terms of Obama's approval ratings.

Yes, I commented on another thread about the FOX panel’s tepid responses tonight with Bret Baier. Even Krauthammer acted like he’d just had an injection of valium. ALL of them were that way—really playing down B.O.’s Islamic ties and identity. I wonder what happened to make them suddenly so bland? Usually Charles K. and Stephen Hayes are pretty forceful.

No question it was a major mistake. . .

(Personally, beyond the original 'sin'; took great offense at the 'shirt sleeves' turned up and Obama/Biden appearing w/o jackets that made this photo-op most offensive whereby both Obama and Biden as hosts, knew their guests would not be showing up showing rolled up, shirt sleeves. Thought the contrast most insulting; as Libs cannot help to be, in their hypocritical assumptions of another's place in the world.

That said; relating to Obama. . .my first fear and loathing came upon me, when Obama gave his first major, prime-time sermon - a power-lusting portent - speaking - August 28, 2008 at DNC Convention. . .

The tragedy of affirmative action unfolds...

I hope we don’t get complacent in the next 2½ months. We need to have house parties and other get-to-gethers with neighbors to plan ways to help our candidates.

Take nothing for granted. Set up driver pools and candidate discussion groups.

Obama is not done yet. I predict at least two more major gaffes before November. He’s just not very good at communicating, despite the Left’s fawning praise.

Michelle’s flaunting the rich and famous lifestyle is digging the hole even deeper.

[Texas Fossil]

Yep, the November Tsunami is coming and it has consequences.

Sucks. The Saudis run the show at Fox now. I thought Roger Ailes would resist but they are all dhimini over at Fox. It really started happening when Beck went to Fox. He and O’Reilly started making fun of birthers to protect The Imam in the white hut.

The Saudis paid good money to own Fox and America.

Even Krauthammer acted like he’d just had an injection of valium. . .

Agree; and yes, was particularly disappointed when Krauthammer weighed in with his vapid response. Was more disappointed that he appeared to slip in, what I thought was an insult to all whose conclusions do not match his. . .judiciousness.

Believe Krauthammer said, when commenting on those who believe Obama 'may' be Muslim; that they had concluded - 'wrongfully' - that. . .

I thought, well there it is. ..the inside the beltway disconnect showing it's face on the Muslim issue, no less and most unfortunately from Charles Krauthammer.

(Attacking Romney WAS ugly and unfair and it does highlight the standard-issue hypocrisy of the Left; and it does define them as the nasties that they are; but this Mosque issue is far bigger than Mitt Romney and his peaceful religious Faith. There is a much larger, more threatening 'big ugly' in this picture.

Sad that believing such is relegated to those who know not, of what they speak - in a manner of Krauthammer's opinion, that is. . .

(Have enormous respect for CK. . .but this is certainly not the 'first time' I have been disappointed. He does, on occasion, have conclusions that do not match those that hold to the 'common wisdom' - mine included/lol/sigh. But given the importance of this issue; have to say, being 'right' is critical.)

He jumped the shark when he pushed though Health Care/Obama Care down the throats of the American People. He will be a one term guy—if he makes it though to 2012 and isn’t forced from office like Nixon was.

Blaming the Saudis does not work, IMHO. Fox News, the only outlet even discussing the story; while showing Obama all day, uttering his various Muslim 'slips-of-tongue'.

Did wonder, in fact, if they were asked to take a higher road for balance of their all day/Muslim Day per Obama coverage.

Doubt it; but think it could reflect; that despite 'Fox News'; many of this group are 'in the beltway' and so, while perhaps Conservative thinkers; they are not without 'inside' bias.

Certainly, it appears that they avoid echoing Glenn Beck, Hannity and/or O'Reilly. And perhaps, deliberately so. . .but this panel, for the most part, still 'get's it' - most nights.

(Have to say; have been surprised at their 'Obama as Muslim' coverage.

(Have actually wondered if this is Obama's way to 'dilute the impact' of what he knows may be coming per his BC issue. . .)

...leghumping media...

I don't think there is any way to describe them better.

The perfect imagery and naked truth of it! Mega kudos for that one brother.

"It’s up to the Republican Party to take a bold stance this November"

Bold Stance Republicans? Never heard of 'em. I have heard of Wide Stance Republicans, though...

Yesterday Nora Odonnell, on MSNBC's Joe Scoroughbough's show put the question to the nation, "Since when did someone doing the right thing become a negative for a politician?" She laid the predicate that all of us rubes out here do not know right from wrong, incinuating we were fall racists. The lamestream median knows no limits to which they will go to protect their soul partner. Hannity was correct when he said jounralism died last year. But we have our minds and clear perceptions. He cannot hide from us.

I think he has past that point of no return because he has cultivated 80% of the voting population to NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING HE SAYS. He is a liar and that has stuck.

[dusttoyou]

Looks like a mighty force......MOmentum.

[W-Girl]

lol !!

Nora O'Donnell should have been a gymnast. . .her 'full twist, double back' is amazing. Of course, being a Lib. . .makes it easy.
