CURL: The beginning of the end for Barack Obama

econd-term presidents in the past 30 years have had some pretty embarrassing news conferences, full of frank admissions of failure, submissive spasms of shame and groveling, grieving apologies.

Bill Clinton had to admit that he actually did have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky; George W. Bush finally thought of something he might have done wrong; his dad had to explain all those new taxes after his unequivocal pledge; and even Ronald Reagan ate crow over the Iran-Contra affair.

But there has never, ever, been a more pitiful presser than the one conducted last week by President Obama. In a nutshell, he said sure, everything’s a mess, but he just didn’t know. Introspective for the first time, he acknowledged he “fumbled the rollout” of Obamacare, said his “you can keep it” pledge “ended up not being accurate” and admitted that his “credibility” is in the dumper. And he tossed out this gem: “What we’re also discovering is that insurance is complicated to buy.” Ya think?

I'm hoping even the low information voters will see thru this liar!

I want to see Obama go down hard and take as many democrats with him as possible.

Obama struck a match to fix a gas leak and his party stood by in awe of his brilliance.

Obama is now for the first time in his entire administration, out of the swooning media’s control.

I don’t think this alone will sink him, but it’s a start.

5 years, and we’re only now finally getting a sort-of media.

Disgusting media spin.

When will America say “Enough!”?

I see the author is still buying into the Media/Democrat lie that Clinton's downfall was Monica's blue dress, completely ignoring the facts gathered during the impeachment process - facts that the Democrats refused to look at - of Clinton/Gore's sellout to the Chinese, the dismantlement of security checks at the white house and Lawrence Livermore Lab, the locking up of low-sulphur coal resources in Utah so that their Indonesian friend, Riady, could benefit, other campaign fundraising irregularities, the re-grading of certain technology restrictions so that joint-use technology could be sold to the Chinese, and on and on.

The author also continues to flack the Media/Democrat line about "W's" supposed failures during the Katrina aftermath, ignoring the fact of a Democrat Governor and NOLA's Mayor that locked out ready FEMA help for political reasons.

The Media have a lot to answer for: criminal dereliction of duty being willing perpetrators, with the Progressives in both parties, of fraud against the American public.

Dream on. They only thing that has ever cured the socialist mindset is 4-5 generations of breadlines. If an election were held today Oscumball would beat most opponents.

Finally. The affirmative action failure is on stage for all to see.
