Yesterday, I pushed back on the bothersome Beltway meme that President Obama is invisible in this epic fight over raising the debt ceiling. Today, I want to dispute Peggy Noonan’s assertion that “nobody loves Obama.” Her opinion piece is all the more noteworthy for calling the president “a loser.” There are many legitimate criticisms you could level against Obama, particularly about his governing style or his personality. But calling him a “loser” was uncalled for.
The notion that “nobody loves Obama” is something Noonan says she’s “never seen in national politics.” She goes on to write:
This is amazing because every president has people who love him, who feel deep personal affection or connection, who have a stubborn, even beautiful refusal to let what they know are just criticisms affect their feelings of regard. At the height of Bill Clinton’s troubles there were always people who’d say, “Look, I love the guy.” They’d often be smiling — a wry smile, a shrugging smile. Nobody smiles when they talk about Mr. Obama. There were people who loved George W. Bush when he was at his most unpopular, and they meant it and would say it. But people aren't that way about Mr. Obama. He has supporters and bundlers and contributors, he has voters, he may win. But his support is grim support.
Noonan said she asked Democrats who supported Obama how they felt about him. She got a lot of comments that backed up her claim.

Fortunately, as you can see above, there's one place where they still want the Wee Wee
I don’t know which is funnier, Peggy Noonan’s falling out of lust with Zero, or more hardshell liberals’ still trying to pretend there’s some there, there.
This guy is a queer. Nothing he says is factual. All of his thought about Obama are wrapped up in his fantasies about him. He wishes he was Reggie Love.
Communist Party sure loves the guy...
"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek"-- BARACK OBAMA

"The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.
The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."

After the election....
A Landslide Mandate For Change
A breakthrough election
Congratulations on an extraordinary history making election!
We can think back with pride to decades of hard work toward our strategic goal of a big enough, broad enough and united enough labor and all-people’s movement that could overcome the ultra-right blockage to all progress. That all people’s movement has come to life, it is dynamic and it has the potential to keep growing.
The election of Barack Obama and a strengthened Congress creates new conditions in our country. There is now the possibility to shift gears and move forward. This new day requires us to further develop our tactics in order to continue to deepen and broaden labor and people’s unity.
There are thousands of experiences that we all have had in these momentous days, some large, some small, all of which express the enormity of change in thinking and readiness for involvement that is underway and that steels us for the battles ahead.
The tears of joy we all shared as crowds gathered to watch the election results here and throughout the world dramatize the new moment we are in.

Change is Here, Change is Coming
Sam Webb, National Chair, Communist Party, USA:
Let me begin with a simple observation: If the last 30 years were an era of reaction, then the coming decade could turn into an era of reform, even radical reform. Six months into the Obama presidency, I would say without hesitation that the landscape, atmosphere, conversation, and agenda have strikingly changed compared to the previous eight years.
In this legislative session, we can envision winning a Medicare-like public option and then going further in the years ahead.
We can visualize passing tough regulatory reforms on the financial industry, which brought the economy to ruin.
We can imagine the troops coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan while U.S. representatives participate in a regional process that brings peace and stability to the entire region.
In the current political climate, the expansion of union rights becomes a real possibility.
Much the same can be said about winning a second stimulus bill, and we sure need one, given the still-rising rate, and likely long term persistence, of unemployment.
Isn’t it possible in the Obama era to create millions of green jobs in manufacturing and other sectors of the economy in tandem with an attack on global warming?
Can’t we envision taking new strides in the long journey for racial and gender equality in this new era, marked at its beginning by the election of the first African American to the presidency?
And isn’t the overhaul of the criminal justice and prison system – a system steeped in racism – no longer pie-in-the sky, but something that can be done in the foreseeable future?
All these things are within reach now!

I know one thing about November 2012...it’s going to be interesting watching all the commie wagging heads eat their shorts as state after state falls off the BamBam bandwagon.
If he carries more than Illinois, New York and California, I will be surprised.
Bleah! Get a room.
If you make people swallow crap for years telling them it's steak, when they do get the opportunity to change their diet, they certainly will.
I agree wholeheartedly. I think what Mark Halperin called him was much more called for.
This is true. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to use words that The Left reserves to describe Sarah Palin.
No Johnnie, she’s right. And we think you suck too.
No one loves Obama, his idiot wife Moochelle, the mother in law or the rest of his pathetic group of grifters! I feel sorry for the kids and the dog.
Whoa—sounds like Giuseppe, the (male) author’s ex male lover, is on to something. He says Obama is one of them. Does he understand how right he is???
The Radical Gay left have quietly taken over the media outlets in this country.
If you look at the every single Soros run media outlet you wil see the Gay Left at the forefront .
CNN and MSDNC have two Gay leftists anchors and even Fox has Sheppy ! The Soros funded Media Matters run by
the former mental patient /Gay activist.
Behind the scences the producers and news writers are mostly Gay.
My wife worked at CNN as a consultant in the 90’s and she estimated 40 % of the staff was Gay back then.
The radical lwft wing shift in the Media reported in the recent UCLA study can be directly linked to Gay Left quiet take over of the media outlets.
I can only imagine the Wash Compost news room is more like a Gay bar now !
LOL!
What does he and mr obama have in common?
It only took her two years longer than the rest of us. Noonan hates Sarah Palin with a passion because Sarah is everything Noonan isn't: young, pretty, smart, an opinion leader who just happens to be marries to a hunk.
It really does come down to that for a lot of people. Everyone hates the pretty girl, being successful makes it even worse. They just cannot free themselves from their hateful feelings and yet no one is willing to even consider voting for someone they hate looking at..it's a human psychological dilemma..it's sad really.
In addition, those women who do look beyond the superficial, all of a sudden, are taking a "I do not want women in office" stance. It's the most bizarre turnaround that I've seen in my lifetime. It's all about the new wave of Republican female office holders and candidates...it's amazing.
They both would turn around if someone yelled, “Hey, Wanker”.
So, the author decided to challenge Noonan’s assertion that nobody loved Obama by checking in with his “ex-Giuseppe” who was and remains in love with Obama.
I need a shower.
Jonathan Capehart
Obama’s the biggest loser in presidential history, a total epic fail.
No matter how hard she tries, she will never be able to shake her head-up-the-ass endorsement of Obama in 2008: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122539802263585317.html
Fascists: They all smell alike.
I’m a WSJ subscriber. Her column is the one I don’t read on Saturday.
“When you are down to foreign born, homosexuals who apparently seem to be primarily attracted to blacks and are hostile to straight people to make your point about the popularity of the President, you have truly hit the bottom of the interest group barrel in politics.”
Thanks for boiling all that down! Part of Guiseppi’s post went right past me, I admit. [I was hustling to get ready for church.] You really, really nailed it. The homosexual who wrote this column gave Obama an unintentional kiss of death. I hope more people pick up on it!
Jonny Capehart loves him still.............
Of course, it doesn’t matter to this poofter that Dingy Harry Reid called GWB a loser...and a liar.
One of my favorite sci-fi TV shows was Warehouse 13, till, out of the blue they present a new character, a special agent with the ATF who announces he’s gay...for no reason other than to change the show from sci-fi to homo promo.
Ed
This is the first article I’ve read where the columnist casually refers to “my ex...Giuseppe”. The beat goes on.
Thats what rankled me the most too! How, back in 2008 Noonan was slobbering all over this marxist POS...
Got link on the UCLA study? I'd like to see it.
If you search on "New York Times" + "gay", you'll find the quote by a Page One editor there, about four years ago, maybe six, that he made in public, that 75% of the other Page One editors were gay or bisexual.
This supposedly started when Pinchy Sulzberger moved into his ancestors' office at the Times about 1988. Before Pinch, the Times called it up the middle on any lifestyle stories -- he changed all that.
And that was when the first draft of After the Ball appeared in the DC-area countercultural paper The Guide as a series, which was then toned down a bit for the book. Some people archived the Guide version (which used to be available online, but my old links are dead), which yields some very bald, Naziphile quotes.
You could never, ever get to such a state of affairs as UCLA supposedly describes, without an industrywide gay cabal. This has to be vivisected, publicized, fought against, and disarticulated like a baked chicken. People have to be made aware that this cabal will eventually replenish its ranks from among their children -- whether they like it or not. (Operative term of art: "Toll of boys.")
Peggy’s writing has always been about her own emotional needs. Her need for a father produced what I found to be some very touching pieces about Pope John Paul II, being as I have a susceptibility for rampant sentimentality.
However, her need for a man produced the gooey spasms over Zero. A slightly black man, giving that frisson of transgressive excitement, but a safely weak, gender-neutral, establishment-controlled “man,” with no life but the academic/political culture which is also Peggy’s home. Blech.
OK...I’m no mathmatician....but including the stain, this author...and the mythical “guiseppe”...that totals three supporter, right?
Nothing really new here .... same old flotsam of idle boulevardiers who lived like bohos in musty garrets, who made up practically 100% of the socialist and communist parties of 110 years ago, and who sat around endlessly arguing and drinking vile plonk until 3 a.m. and then slept all day for years on end. People like Sinclair Lewis in this country sympathized with them from afar, and wished they could live in Paris, too.
The only difference now, is that a gaggle of them have lied their way into the core of one of the great political parties, and thence into the cockpit of political power, and that a lot of them are baneful, spiteful homosexuals (like Ernst Roehm and his SA's) as well.
