No qualification what-so-ever.
A fraud, a liar, a cheat and a scoundrel.
Rush said it’s like Colonel Sanders saying someone has GOT to stop killing all these chickens.
It is NOT going to end badly for Obama.....it’s going to end badly for AMERICA!!
Trayvon’s daddy is smart enough to know how STUPID half of Americans are!!
Around 1980, I came to work for a year around a Vietnam War vet...former Marine. His method of surviving the war and it’s stresses...marijuana...daily. After the year, he smoked weed at least once or twice a day. It worked to combat PTSD.
A dozen years later, as I’ve come to work around him....I’ve come to notice two interesting things. He’s got lousy short-term memory. You could tell him something at 9AM and by noon....he’s forgotten half of what you told him.
The second thing was long-term memory loss. There were certain thing of boot-camp in the Marines....that were hazy and he just couldn’t fill in the squares. Same with high school.
After this story of the week of the President suddenly remembering his uncle....I paused over the stories of young Barry doing weed daily (sometimes several times a day), and how this went on for a minimum of ten years. Bluntly, he’s got short-memory lapses and it’s now obvious that Ms Jarrett is more than just a gate-keeper....she manages him and reminds him of things. Long-term memory lapses? I’d take a guess that it comes up a dozen times a week now.
How would you manage eight years as President under these conditions? You’d rely on the chief of staff to help manage your life, along with your wife, and just act your way through the whole thing.
It’s best to say....we got a forgetful ex-doper, who does the best he can, and you got three more years of this to go.
One can only all of these nobama-criminals have solitary cells.
obama likes being there. Hope and Chance.
i’d like to see him and many of his lawbreaking minions hanging
It’s the Rush Theorem: If Obama “appears” to be governing-—he would then have to take responsibility for the consequences of his actions-—something he is loathe to do.
he dose that because the media allows him to get away with it.
11/15/13---Why Liberals Are Panicking;
The future of entitlement-state progressivism hinges on Obamacare
“Even if it takes a change to the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got.” –Former President Bill Clinton, November 12
So the former president asserts that the current president continues to dishonor his “you like your plan, you can keep your plan” pledge. And calls for the Affordable Care Act to be changed, despite furious White House resistance to the very idea.
Coming from the dean of the Democratic Party, this one line marked the breaching of the dam. It legitimized the brewing rebellion of panicked Democrats against Obamacare. Within hours, that rebellion went loudly public. By Thursday, President Obama had been forced into a rearguard holding action, asking insurers to grant a one-year extension of current plans.
The damage to the Obama presidency, however, is already done. His approval rating has fallen to 39 percent, his lowest ever. And, for the first time, a majority considers him untrustworthy. That bond is not easily repaired.
At stake, however, is more than the fate of one presidency or of the current Democratic majority in the Senate. At stake is the new, more ambitious, social-democratic brand of American liberalism introduced by Obama, of which Obamacare is both symbol and concrete embodiment.
Precisely when the GOP was returning to a more constitutionalist conservatism committed to reforming, restructuring, and reining in the welfare state (see, for example, the Paul Ryan Medicare reform passed by House Republicans with near unanimity), Obama offered a transformational liberalism designed to expand the role of government, enlarge the welfare state, and create yet new entitlements (see, for example, his call for universal preschool in his most recent State of the Union address).
The centerpiece of this vision is, of course, Obamacare, the most sweeping social reform in the last half-century, affecting one-sixth of the economy and directly touching the most vital area of life of every citizen.
As the only socially transformational legislation in modern American history to be enacted on a straight party-line vote, Obamacare is wholly owned by the Democrats.
Its unraveling would catastrophically undermine their underlying ideology of ever-expansive central government providing cradle-to-grave care for an ever-grateful citizenry. For four years, this debate has been theoretical. Now it’s real. And for Democrats, it’s a disaster.
It begins with the bungled rollout. If Washington can’t even do the website — the literal portal to this brave new world — how does it propose to regulate the vast ecosystem of American medicine? Second, arrogance. Five million freely chosen, freely purchased, freely renewed health-care plans are summarily canceled. Why? Because they don’t meet some arbitrary standard set by the experts in Washington.
For all his news-conference gyrations about not deliberately deceiving people with his “if you like it” promise, the law Obama so triumphantly gave us allows you to keep your plan only if he likes it. That’s the very definition of paternalism. Lastly, deception. The essence of the entitlement state is government giving away free stuff. Hence Obamacare would provide insurance for 30 million uninsured, while giving everybody tons of free medical services — without adding “one dime to our deficits,” promised Obama.
This being inherently impossible, there had to be a catch. Now we know it: hidden subsidies. Toss millions of the insured off their plans and onto the Obamacare “exchanges” where they would be forced into more expensive insurance packed with coverage they don’t want and don’t need — so that the overcharge can be used to subsidize others.
The reaction to the incompetence, arrogance, and deception has ranged from ridicule to anger. But more is in jeopardy than just panicked congressional Democrats. This is the signature legislative achievement of the Obama presidency, the embodiment of his new entitlement-state liberalism. If Obamacare goes down, there will be little left of its underlying ideology.
Perhaps it won’t go down. Perhaps the web portal hums beautifully on November 30. Perhaps they’ll find a way to restore the canceled policies without wrecking the financial underpinning of the exchanges.
Perhaps. The more likely scenario, however, is that Obamacare does fail. It either fails politically, renounced by a wide consensus that includes a growing number of Democrats. Or it succumbs to the financial complications (the insurance “death spiral”) of the very amendments desperately tacked on to save it. If it does fail, the effect will be historic. Obamacare will take down with it more than Mary Landrieu and Co. It will discredit Obama’s new liberalism for years to come.

Yes, I have heard Rush discuss this theory and it holds water with every scandal and “crisis” that this administration encounters.
O ye, of little faith
Kraut isn’t very intelligent.
BTTT!!!
obomba is still looking for that bathroom. In the end, he will just follow the dog and do his business with him. The two have an awful lot in common.
If you had a neighbor who doped up on marijuana daily (sometimes multiple times) for at least a decade...then kinda cleaned himself up...what would be the expectations of this guy twenty years later?
He’d have short-term memory lapse episodes. Scientists already know this and agree on that fact. There’s a fair amount of potential for long-term memory lapse episodes....this they will argue over because it’s not a proven thing.
So you gaze over at five years of life in the White House. There are dozens...if not hundreds....of examples of short-term memory lapse. Same deal for long-term memory loss (the uncle episode fits well into this).
Now that we kinda fit things correctly...we come to realize there’s three years left, with a guy on a short-memory lapse problem.
Yup. The Limbaugh Theorem.
Krauthammer is late to the party.
