WASHINGTON -- Following two years of poor economic performance and electoral repudiation, liberalism is casting around for narratives to explain its failure -- narratives that don't involve the admission of inadequacies in liberalism itself.
For some, the solution is to lay the blame on President Obama. He hasn't been liberal enough. He can't communicate. "I cannot recall a president," says Robert Kuttner in the Huffington Post, "who generated so much excitement as a candidate but who turned out to be such a political dud as a chief executive." Obama is "fast becoming more albatross than ally."

Anybody who had voted with knowledge of who they were voting for, instead of I feel, I feel, I feel, we wouldn’t be in this mess right now.
So Obama should double down on liberalism, once again.
Go for it usurper. This is your last hurrah before removal from office. The people’s day in court is coming soon.

Kuttner either has a very short or a very selective memory: does the name "Jimmuh Cartuh" ring a bell?
Obama is just the "Chocolate Carter."
Obama is increasingly becoming hostile to the American people, dangerously detached from events domestic and foreign and increasingly becoming unhinged. It’s beyond conduct unbecoming an American president and he is becoming a danger to the nation. He has to go. Impeachment or by some other means by God, but he has to go. This is becoming a national disaster in the making. No man is above the law and the will of the American people. Not Richard Nixon and certainly not this bum.
But what is the result of this alleged "massive economic uncertainty?"
When it looked certain the GOP would regain control of the House, the stock market began to take off - more a sign of economic certaintly, for a change.
“We’re talking about a major political party ... possibly undermining the strength of the country — on purpose, in public, without apology or shame — for no other reason than to give themselves a campaign advantage”
Hmm, reminds me of a certain war George Bush tried to prosecute in the Middle East.
I thought Obummer was the Left’s Ronald Reagan? He was supposed to be the Great Communicator. No one has done more to sell their agenda to the American people than him and they weren’t buying it.
I don't recall Skippy generating anything remotely like "excitement".
Yeah, he beat Jerry but there was no messianic quality to his campaign.
>>Anybody who had voted with knowledge of who they were voting for, instead of I feel, I feel, I feel, we wouldn’t be in this mess right now.<<
Republicans and Independents do the same thing as the Democrats. They fall in love with their candidate and from that day forth s/he can do no wrong.
The last thing that should be in your decision to vote for someone is sexual emotion but unfortunately people are humans and they have weaknesses.
Obama had a mesmerizing, soaring rhetoric. It enthralled people and cuz they were sick of Bush, they didn’t bother to notice there was no real substance behind it. That’s ok... once in a generation Americans buy a dud.
And how does a “national health care system” not even in place yet cause such panic if it is “gutted”?
I agree!!! Educate oneself before getting into that voting booth. I think that’s just as much a responsibility as an American, as going and voting is.
>>That’s ok... once in a generation Americans buy a dud.<<
So true. One from each Party.
When I look back at Bush, I see a good looking man with an attractive wife (which are both important) man who pushed the Free Trade Agreements on us and subsequently that took American heavy manufacturing out of the US causing today’s unemployment problems. The financial root of the New World Order.
I see someone who refused to use the oil supplies we have on American property and thereby enriched the Saudi Arabians.
I see someone who tried to push Islam as a peace loving religion and has successfully flooded America with almost 10 million Muslums. Wait for Sharia Law to come. It’s next.
I see someone who refused to protect American borders thereby allowing millions of illegal aliens to enter America and get on our social programs which is helped bankrupt the states.
I see someone who built the DHS thereby almost doubling the number of federal emoloyees today.
I see someone who pushed the Patriot Act which led us to Gramma being molested at the airports today.
I see someone who was very compassionate and not the slightest bit Conservative.
These problems didn’t start with him though, it comes from the GOP and who they push on us voters as Republican candidates. Look at the last one, McCain. Pulled from the garbage pail and forced onto our plates. Are they listening to us now?
If and when the next time the Republicans get the House, the Senate and the White House it will be the same as 2002. Not a single Bill passed by the Democrats will be reversed / revoked.
You’ll have to talk a long time to convince me that there is a difference between the goals of the Republicans and the Democrats. It’s been so long since the Republicans were truly conservative, before I started voting and that’s 40 some years ago.
I don’t know what it’s going to take to keep this Republic but I don’t think we will. Legislators spit on the Constitution and wipe their butts with the Bill of Rights.
I apologize if you find this depressing. That’s the result of 50 million illegals and 10 million Muslums.
Oh, yeah, just get a load of this mesmerizing soaring rhetoric. Is that a new name for a load of bovine feces?
