They turn on him and they at the voting both they will still vote for him ten times.
These are Democrats and the ends justify the means.
When an author refers to Juan McLame as “right-wing” they’ve immediately destroyed any shred of credibility they may have once had. Couldn’t continue reading. Sorry.
But he runs to the golf course constantly looking for his balls.
Failure would be a step up for him.
“Obama’s stance on this issue is the latest blunder in a presidency that now clearly resembles George W. Bush’s more than that of any respectable progressive administration.”

Of course that is true but only because there has never been a “respectable” progressive administration so it resembles anything, including a Chinese lesbian fire drill held in a Chicago bathhouse, more than it resembles a respectable progressive administration.
I know it was unintentional but to call George W. Bush “twice the president” as Obama just may be the unkindest thing I have ever heard said about him.
Damning with faint praise
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Damn with faint praise)
Jump to: navigation, search
Damning with faint praise is an English idiom for words that effectively condemn by seeming to offer praise which is too moderate or marginal to be considered praise at all.[1] In other words, this phrase identifies the act of expressing a compliment so feeble that it amounts to no compliment at all, or even implies a kind of condemnation.[2]
The concept can be found in the work of the Hellenistic sophist and philosopher, Favorinus (c. 110 AD), who observed that faint and half-hearted praise was more harmful than loud and persistent abuse.[3]
The explicit phrasing of the modern English idiomic expression was first published by Alexander Pope in his 1734 poem, “Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot” in Prologue to the Satires.[4]
Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
And without sneering, teach the rest to sneer;
Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike,
Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike.
— “Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot” by Alexander Pope (1688–1744)[5]
I disagree. The whimpering from the Left is more like a lover's quarrel than a repudiation.
They still worship him and everything that excretes from him. They will forgive him and make up soon enough.
The chemical weapons thing happened on Aug. 21.....WAS OBAMA ON VACATION????? I think he was......sure wasn’t important enough for him then!!
Obama is NOT a failure!! He has succeeded in “fundamentally transforming” our once fine country into a CESSPOOL of GAYS this...GAYS that.....HealthCare destruction, etc.
I'm not so sure. They were already disillusioned because of Snowden being called a traitor by Obama and the crazy obsessive attempts to hunt him down. They like their internet freedom, and that's pretty much gone. Benghazi didn't sit well with them. And now this warmongering?
It might've been slow coming, but I really think the Obama supporters have had it.
War with Syria? No, it's a permanent alliance with alQaeda that Obama apparently wants. He has done little else in the last 3 year but feed them weapons, money, and cover so that they can rally during their "Arab Spring". Now he wants to loan them the US military for their personal uses for the next 2-3 years.
He has NOT succeeded in “fundamentally transforming” our once fine country.
He has opened many eye to his plan to transform the nation he is a failure 100%.
