That Sinking Feeling

Barack Obama seems to think he’s done a pretty terrific job as president, but maybe he hasn’t trumpeted his accomplishments effectively enough.

He told The Times’s Peter Baker, in an interview for the Sunday magazine, “Given how much stuff was coming at us, we probably spent much more time trying to get the policy right than trying to get the politics right. There is probably a perverse pride in my administration — and I take responsibility for this; this was blowing from the top — that we were going to do the right thing, even if short-term it was unpopular.”

This assessment by the president is debatable, but it won’t be among the things that are front and center in the minds of voters as the November elections approach. The problem for Mr. Obama and the Democrats is the widespread sense among anxiety-riddled Americans that the country is still in very bad shape and headed in the wrong direction.

Herbert, a black liberal, is one of the Slimes' most consistent libs. Nevertheless, as can be seen from this article, even he is having great misgivings about the Illegal and the Illegal's regime. Here's the best zinger of all, from the end of the article:

However the elections turn out, the Obama administration needs to begin focusing much more intently on the economic plight of ordinary Americans. Nearly 44 million are living in poverty. A third of all Hispanic children and more than a third of black children are poor.

Job security and benefits like paid vacations, health insurance and a secure retirement are going the way of the typewriter. More than 11 million new jobs would have to be created just to get us back to where we were when the Great Recession began. No one sees that happening anytime soon.

Democrats are in trouble because they have not been nearly aggressive enough in confronting this profound economic crisis facing so many millions of ordinary Americans. <>/i>

Like, OMG!!!, Rush couldn't have said it better. This time around he DemonRats are really up to their eyeballs in the nasty, soft brown, steaminmg, stinky stuff.

The problem for President Obama and his party is that logic does not always rule the electoral roost.

FUBH.

He keeps looking like the guy at open mike night at the comedy club who has to explain all of his jokes. And even his relatives in the audience don't think the jokes are funny.

Never forget this: Mr. Obama can’t count. Period.

He thinks it’s 1933. Ugh.

You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.
And there’s no tenderness like before in your fingertips.
You’re trying hard not to show it, (baby).
But baby, baby I know it...

You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling,
Whoa, that lovin’ feeling,
You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling,
Now it’s gone...gone...gone...wooooooh.

Now there’s no welcome look in your eyes
when I reach for you.
And now your’re starting to critisize little things I do.
It makes me just feel like crying, (baby).
‘Cause baby, something in you is dying.

You lost that lovin’ feeling,
Whoa, that lovin’ feeling,
You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling,
Now it’s gone...gone...gone...woooooah

Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you.

If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah.

We had a love...a love...a love you don’t find everyday.

So don’t...don’t...don’t...don’t let it slip away.

Baby (baby), baby (baby),
I beg of you please...please,
I need your love (I need your love),
I need your love (I need your love),
So bring it on back (So bring it on back),
Bring it on back (so bring it on back).

Bring back that lovin’ feeling,
Whoa, that lovin’ feeling
Bring back that lovin’ feeling,
‘Cause it’s gone...gone...gone,
and I can’t go on,
noooo...

Bring back that lovin’ feeling,
Whoa, that lovin’ feeling
Bring back that lovin’ feeling,
‘Cause it’s gone...gone...

WRONG..Rush would never say anything like this.
He would say that America is not ready for a Communist dictatorship.
The Commies do not want to fix it. They want total destruction in order to achieve their ultimate goal.

If there were any decent Democraps left in America, they would bail on Obambie in a New York minute..
