Sounds like he made it worse. Using the words “fiscal cliff” reminds people that the situation is dangerous. Telling everybody that the administration thinks it is ok to ignore something dangerous until after the election just makes the administration look like it is chicken, and manipulating it’s agenda for election purposes, not for the best interest of the economy.
Apologizing and doubling down at the same time. Wow.
Good post. Perceptive analysis of Slick Willie.
He’s called Slick Willie for a reason.
I hope Bill doubles down a lot (in his sneaky Clintonesque way) and Bambi decides it’s better to seek employment elsewhere. I think Obama is going to win otherwise, because the GOP has selected a candidate who has absolutely nothing going for him except his own personal fortune and is, based on his track record, exactly as leftist as Obama.
Romney’s a leaden, unattractive person, and like Obama, is a member of a flaky cult, so he’s not going to get any automatic vote from anybody except Mormons. They have a lot of money but they don’t have huge numbers.
And even though people don’t approve of Obama’s policies, they claim they like him personally, while nobody except his family and the Mormons seems to like Romney...and the most likeable candidate is generally the one that wins.
That said, I think there are a lot of Dems who don’t want Barry, not because they think he can’t win, but because even they know that he’s taking the country in the wrong direction. They may have no ideological objections, but their wallets are talking to them and their wallets are saying “No more Obama.”
I still think Obama is tired of this gig and is going to find employment in the international sphere. So now the Clintons and others are trying to figure out how to get rid of him while at the same time making friends with the powerful leftists who paid to get him elected.
Sometimes you just have to stand and applaud someone who is a master at his art. Of course XXX-42 is a master at deception, but he is one of the best.
It's like the complaint about Paradise Lost: Satan gets all the best lines.
