What have they done with President Obama? What happened to the inspirational figure his supporters thought they elected? Who is this bland, timid guy who doesn’t seem to stand for anything in particular?

The Lamentations of the liberal man-women is music to my ears...

The same people who sold Obama to the public, can't figure out why he isn't the craven image they created of him.

It would be kinda funny, if it hadn't done so much damage to America.

Indeed! That's what I'd like to know! The guy in the White House strikes me as some C or B college student who only got in through some sort of Affirmative Action deal. I'm not even sure he understands this country's founding principles, or our Constitution -- what is he? Some kind of foreigner??

It's most peculiar, Momma.

"Who is this bland, timid guy who doesn’t seem to stand for anything in particular?"

Isn't it more then obvious by now? You can never be caught on the WRONG side of an issue if you take every side of the issue to begin with.

Ever notice how this fool always says "As I have said before...." and then goes on to repeat ONE of the sides he took at a certain point (depending on the polls at that time) on a given issue?

It's the same in general for the entire Left. If anything goes, as they seem to believe then you cannot be called to account for anything you do.

A creation of the MSM, now found with no brain, no opinions, no nothing...

Oh, Paul...Don’t worry your pretty little head.
Your Ms Obambie is busy digging up that pesky old birth certificate, don’tcha know?
Life will be right as rain, just as soon as he finds it.

For those who have eyes to see, he is who he has always been. These libs are amazing at the blinders they wear.

If you listen to the lamentations coming from the left, they are all crying that this isn’t the President they thought they voted for.

The problem is, that President NEVER EXISTED, in the first place.

Obama was a media creation, a propaganda campaign that fed on itself. The media was so ginned-up by the International Answer crowd, and the Bush-Gore 2000 haters, that they were willing to accept ANYTHING that met the story line they had created.

They didn’t do their job, threw Hillary aside for this fairy tale story, and now they are paying a price for it.

Krugman :”What have they done with President Obama? What happened to the inspirational figure his supporters thought they elected? (HE'S RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION YOU OVER EDUCATED IDIOT!) Who is this bland, timid guy who doesn’t seem to stand for anything in particular?

I realize that with hostile Republicans controlling the House, there’s not much Mr. Obama can get done in the way of concrete policy. Arguably, all he has left is the bully pulpit. But he isn’t even using that — or, rather, he’s using it to reinforce his enemies’ narrative. His remarks after last week’s budget deal were a case in point. Maybe that terrible deal, in which Republicans ended up getting more than their opening bid, was the best he could achieve — although it looks from here as if the president’s idea of how to bargain is to start by negotiating with himself, making pre-emptive concessions, then pursue a second round of negotiation with the G.O.P., leading to further concessions

You have to hear all the whining about Obama on the other side for a laugh if nothing else. I wish Krugman was on yesterday's This Week panel, it would have been really funny. Krugman is just a Marxist dressed up by liberals as an economist.

More seriously, Obama will be on the counter-offensive on Wednesday with his budget plan.

If dim-witted Krugman is figuring it out, Obama’s really in trouble.

Concur. Sadly, John McCain was very much a creation of the MSM too. He was the Straw Man candidate who was pre-programmed to lose.

I can tell you right now that it will be a complete and utter joke. Token cuts of a few billion in obscure programs and a massive set of tax hikes, allegedly "for the wealthy" but in fact for everyone who has a job and makes more than poverty level.
