Give Obama a Break
NYT ^ | 10.30.10 | Nicholas Kristoff

Posted on 10/31/2010 3:25:56 PM PDT by paudio

That’s why I’m feeling a bit sorry for President Obama as we approach a midterm election in which he is poised to be cast off like an old sock. The infatuation with Mr. Obama was overdone in 2008, and so is the rejection of him today.

So here’s my message: Give him a chance.

This piece is a slightly refined version of the hysterical person below. Although I'd say the hysterical levels of the two are about the same.

Leave 0bama alone!!!...

Um, when was the New York Times intending to report this, exactly?

I was wondering when the “Leave Him Alone!” sissy was going to show up.

Looks like Kristoff liked Jon Stewart’s interview with Obama that he’s swiping part of it for this article.

Give Obama a break? OK, no problem. Arm or leg?

Give him a chance? He's had plenty of time in the White House and the luxury of a Democrat majority in Congress.

What constitutes a chance? Two more years? Four? Twelve?

Perfect... That was the image that immediately came to mind when I read the excerpt (I won’t go to the NYT site to read the actual article)...

The criticisms of Mr. Obama from the left often ring true to me, but I also think we elide the political difficulties of getting better legislation past obstructionists in Congress. A “public option” would have improved the health care package in my judgment, but it might also have killed it.
Not a single Republican voted for the current Obamacare package -- you professional Slimes Moron, you -- so which "obstructionists", exactly, would have stopped the "public option"?

Just curious.

He had his chance, and blew it, big time. No other president enjoyed so much media hype, before and during his term. He deserves as bad as it can get for him.

Hey NYT-— he was given the ‘chance’ with his rhetoric of ‘change’. Now it’s time to really ‘change’ and stop taking a ‘chance’ with this demogogue socialist bent on turning us into a Turd world banana.

It’s one thing when a punk rock band sings about you, but when the Dude in Cheif calls you the ‘enemy’, the Rubicon has been crossed!

Anybody have a link to the 2002 Article by Kristoff, Give Bush a Break?

Didn't think so.
