The Obama Levee Breaks
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 10/08/2012 | IBD Staff

Posted on 10/09/2012 4:58:52 AM PDT by IBD editorial writer

Election 2012: President Obama might think sagging polls are his biggest post-debate problem. But it's really people like Buzz Bissinger, Stacey Dash and Bill Maher showing it's now acceptable in polite society to attack The One.

In an eye-opening piece Monday on the Daily Beast, "Friday Night Lights" author and lifelong Democrat Buzz Bissinger announced he was voting for Romney.

The tipping point, he wrote, "was last week's debate in Denver," which showed Obama out of energy and out of ideas.

Can anyone remember the last time Bill Maher was polite?

I think most people are in “captain obvious” mode on voting Romney hence the lack of yard sign and bumper stickers. I usually have a yard sign but this year I don’t feel the need .....Now the Obama signs? Don’t know what thats about other than advertising stupid LOL

For any other politician, this wouldn't mean much. But now that the massive dam protecting Obama from criticism all these years has cracked, the results could be catastrophic. Who knows? Maybe the mainstream press will even decide to cover Obama fairly.

Media capitulation is a possibility. CBS aired a piece on 60 minutes Sunday that essentially declares the Afghanistan theater to have been mismanaged and therefore lost. Will the media realize they could go down with Obama?

Will they realize the people are on to them, now with proof they were sold a bill-of-goods in Barack Hussein Obama?

Well, there aren’t that many Obama signs as before as well, at least where I live.

Uh, which of his "ideas", when he had them, had a positive effect on the nation?

If he's out of "ideas", shouldn't that be a good thing for both himself and the country?

After all, isn't that what the statists desire?

Being that I live in rural Alaska its a very slim chance of running across any deranged Obamazombie, but if I were in some other place I could take terverse pleasure baiting these zealotheads with an empty chair, a Vote for Romney PLUS a full size cutout pic of Sarah Palin.

And I may be hiding nearby waiting to open up a valve upon a high pressure hose with dye in the water. or something else.

“Levee breaks” refers to Kareina and is, therefore, a racist metaphor if applied to Obama.

Just predicting you’ll get that idiotic email 100 times today.

"Well, there aren’t that many Obama signs as before as well, at least where I live."

A friend of mine declared the 2008 election as the "Year of the 'Hey I'm Cool, I voted for a Black Guy' Voter".

BTW he did this in 2008.

I think maybe we are seeing his declaration validated on 2012.

They detect that Obama is weak. If he goes down further in the polls, to the point where it’s obvious that he’s going to lose, they will rip him apart.
