Dem pollster: What Obama really needs is an Oklahoma City moment
Hot Air ^ | NOVEMBER 4, 2010 | ED MORRISSEY

Posted on 11/05/2010 2:25:06 PM PDT by RobinMasters

Occasionally, political pundits get so wrapped up in their analysis that they don’t think through all of the implications of their commentary. That happened to Mark Penn, longtime Democratic pollster, in his appearance on Hardball last night, in the most charitable explanation possible. Eyeblast’s Joe Schoffstall clips this magic moment from the discussion with Chris Matthews on how disconnected Barack Obama has become from the American electorate, and what it will take for him to reconnect, using Bill Clinton as an example:

by making the comment we can “absorb” another attack, watching him take 42 days to respond to the coast, watching him take 6 months to send troops requested, watching him respond to FT HOOD.....
I don’t trust this assclown to respond to a knocked over glass of milk.

....and blame a couple of useful idiots while the middle eastern men run away?

Certainly the term "middle eastern men" will be considered politically incorrect very soon by this administration and those charged with our protection (sarcasm). We, however, who might use such a term may likely be considered as the dangerous people.

I’m sure they’ve been praying about it. Question is, who to?

Well, obama HAS an “Oklahoma moment” of a different sort.

The great State of Oklahoma passed a law barring the use of international law and sharia law in State court decisions. Now the islamic supremacist CAiR is suing Oklahoma for “discriminating” against muslims.

I see obama getting on the side of CAiR, not on the side of Oklahoma. So this “Oklahoma moment” will be of no help to him at all.

President Obama has had numerous opportunities to 'connect' with Americans (Fort Hood massacre, Gulf oil spill, Ground Zero mosque controversy, etc) but he clearly wasn't interested. He never will be interested. He sees us - Americans - as greedy, selfish oppressors that need to be cut down to size via an economic meltdown precipitated by you-know-who. Obama's blather about 'not communicating his message' is nonsense, and he knows it. His message can't really be 'communicated' because it is the destruction of American greatness via the undermining of our economy.

He knows it, most of the Democrats in Washington know it and, we know it along with millions of Americans that see through the Obama rhetoric about 'hope and change' while he does all he can to denigrate our country overseas and wreck our economy at home. No 'crisis' will change Obama, he'll just try to use it to expand government power. He'll never 'connect' with Americans again because the more they see/hear him and watch what he does - not just what he says - they can see he's no friend of theirs - and never was.

**Right. Who were those middle eastern men witnesses saw running away from the van?***

You mean the ...”Six Dark complected, swarthy men of Middle Eastern extraction seen running from the scene wearing blue running suits.”-ABC news that morning.

I heard them say it on ABC that morning.

I heard Penn make that comment. Shocked at the very thought. He was pointing out that Clinton didn’t have the people on his side until the OKC Memorial.

Is there nothing too base for these America haters to wish for.

Those crazy assholes. I had a dear friend die in the OKC bombing. I spent 4 sleepless nights helping prep food for the rescue workers. How dare they long for Americans to die so the big Zero can re-connect with the people? Damn everyone of them.

How would they feel if someone were to suggest that there was a way 0bama could make his legacy like JFK’s? That would be creepy and hateful. But it is ok to suggest the blowing up of unknown Americans for political purposes. Just damn.

I'm reminded of a scene in _Ronin_ where a team is planning an ambush, and the lead planner is shown incompetent by a sequence ending "Tell me about an ambush. I ambushed you with a cup of coffee!"

I almost expect that Obama has some inside info about a potential attack on Washington DC so he ran off to India (as far away as he could possibly get) with his entire entourage to be safe.

Sick, Rats running around in the sewer. Talking about American Deaths as a POLITICAL PLUS.

Exactly! 0bummer is working up to it with his 80,000 Muslim immigrants. Not quite Iraqi Republican Guard material but good enough for the purpose.
