EXCLUSIVE MONDAY PREVIEW | OPINION

It’s been a tough couple of weeks for President Obama, one of those stretches where everything seems to go south at once. The economy is soft, his poll numbers are down, and Europe has the markets on edge; Romney is even beating him in the money race. What was once hailed as personal confidence — or condemned as arrogance — is long gone. Panic has set in, and it’s making Team Obama do strange and disturbing things.
In Wisconsin, the result was merely a bit of comic relief. Fearful of making a personal appearance in a losing cause, Obama couldn’t even bring himself to phone it in. Instead, he packed the power of the presidency into a 95-character tweet endorsing Tom Barrett’s challenge to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Barrett, a plainspoken former congressman, is far too nice to speak the truth: Thanks for nothing.
Next came a more pronounced gaffe: Obama’s statement at a press conference that “the private sector is doing fine.” Panic can make anyone say crazy things, but blurting out irrational statements isn’t exactly ideal for a president of the United States.
Aides tried desperately to walk things back, but the damage was done precisely because it revealed an element of truth about Obama................

Garbage, salacious garbage to sell books.
A Dem passionately campaigned for Ron Paul. They voted for Obamao and saw the error of their ways. Too bad Newt dropped out as there is no way I’ll vote for the windsock.
In other works, he's a moron.
Remember last night we were talking about "Cruisin' for a bruisin'! HA! I love it!
You mean stoned and holding a pair of tablets?
My idea. VOTE MITTENS but give him a Tea Party Congress and Senate—If you can’t bring yourself to do Tea Party—Then Conservatives should do—even if they are Blue Dog Democrats.
Given a Conservative Congress—he will swing there way—the right way! He will reverse much of the problems of Obama—BUT he must have a Majority! If the Democat/Communists have enough they will block and snipe using the Media to try to paint Mitt as a new Bush. We must keep that from Happening!
I guess they have finally figured out that sucking even worse than their Republican opponent is not a good election strategy.
You know, if he doesn’t get reelected it’s not like it’s going to be bad. All that money from books, perks from being potus, photo ops he will do, more books, blah blah blah...
He’ll be going off to live the life of milk and honey.
Whereas the rest of us slobs are struggling with the economy he’s made and left for us.
Thanks for the link, J, looks like it might be a good read. I’ll check it out in the morning. :)
No turn unstoned—yep, that’s our guy all right.
When people say `Hi’ to him, he says, `Yes.’
One of the biggest things going for Obama is the lack of knowledge of the American people.
heh, heh, heh
Yep, you really called it and big time panic is where Zer0’s at.
It’s going to be very interesting to see just how much more he comes unhinged, I believe we haven’t seen anything yet. LOL!
These pics available on 'net' a few years back; don't know if they still are or not; but perhaps with this book; they are back? Don't know. Also; some 'fun' may have been had - then or now - with some of the pics (Exotique may have had creative use?) but no question; that Ann Dunham is the legitimate star of these photographs. And this should not be so surprising. They do make sense; in Ann Dunham's world, where she shared her company with Frank Marshall Davis.
(Think too; 'en toto'; the pics themselves; while racy; are still, somewhat innocent. And Ann Dunham, certainly 'brave'/rebellious/daring. . .enough to go here.)
'Frank' (first name only used) was included in Obama's (and Bill Ayers') book. Obama offered that 'Frank' was his greatest 'mentor'; had most profound influence; or something to that effect. Given that Frank Marshall Davis an was an avowed communist (and amateur photographer) from Chicago; there may be more to story; as to how Obama ended up in Chicago. FMD; had many connections; friends; 'fellow travelers' who helped Obama. Including here, Bill Ayers father; who too; was a communist and active in Chicago; as was FMD; before moving to Hawaii.
We can note that the book title DOES not say 'Dreams OF My Father; but rather 'From'; My Father'.
This important; as we know that Obama; shares the same vision as FMD; per recreating America. . .
Know what my conclusions are.
The USA had to make an “Alli” out of Papa Joe Stalin.
Defeating the AXIS powers was more important than anything else, at that time.
The USA had to make an “Alli” out of the Taliban, when the USSR invaded Afghanistan.
Winning the Cold War was more important than anything else, at that time.
Today?
Defeating Obama is the most important thing we can do to save our Country.
DEFEATING the WORST CANDIDATE is often the only choice we have.
Again, grow up and face reality.
I am an American Soldier...defender of freedom against tyranny
and when I enter the valley of death
and the agent of Satan appears at my shoulder
I will be resolute and fear no evil
Paul will never be the nominee, but more than we, he is capable of monkey wrench diplomacy, which is exactly what the Establishment has coming. Paul has no use for them and has been willing to stick around and say so.
I consider that a favor to the rest of us.
Agree per strategy. With Mitt; we can work for more Conservatives to ‘guide’ the Mother ship; so to speak. With Obama; it will be impossible to implement ‘Conservative Change’; and perhaps, impossible to ‘win’ another Election. Obama could well, just cancel them.
Sununu is so old old and he gave us Souter.
If O’dumbo was White, everyone would be all over him without mercy. It would be a major Jimmah Carter slaughter.
Does not matter how we mix or match. As bad as Romney is; he is STILL, FAR better than opponent, Obama. And with ‘right’ Congress; Mitt will get better. Under Obama; we should prepare for ‘anything’; including not having a Congress.
