"..........How does a serious president handle this? He steps out of the spotlight, curtails the golf games with celebrities, persuades the wife to postpone further multi-million dollar vacations, abjures any serious or epoch-making speeches or public efforts. He lets other, lesser figures carry the public load for awhile....
This strategy would very likely work for the current chief executive as well. But I ask you -- does any of that sound like Barack Obama?
He can't back out of sight because of a little thing called "ObamaCare." He let the help handle that and it didn't work. Now it's attached as firmly as a ball and chain, and since he lacks both the grace and wit to cut his losses, it will dog his presidency for all the time that's left to it.
There's also the fact that he's been carried by media, mentor figures, and more shadowy elements all the way back to his stint at Harvard. It's not that he's grown to believe his own PR, but that he's never believed anything else. There is no depth to Obama -- the public figure is all you get, and anything that threatens the image threatens the whole man. So he will flail, and protest, and posture -- looking more asinine all the time. Look for plenty of PR events -- momentous speeches, vast promises, attempts to pull on the mantle of greater men, mountains giving birth to mice.
And how should the opposition handle it? Nothing simpler -- hammer it. Don't let an opportunity pass. Don't let him get away with anything. This is a God-given rent in virtual armor that many thought was utterly impregnable. We need to take as much advantage of it as possible......

Citizens must clean out DC. The GOP won’t do it.
Unfortunately some of the GOP needs to be cleaned out, too.
Michelle Malkin
Michelle didn't really have a chance. She is the type of woman loser who could be convinced to marry a three dollar bill on the "down low" for the sole purpose of making him viable as a politician.
The freebie crowd is about to be vastly increased when the Republicans get their much desired Amnesty and an end to two party political strife.
I am not so sure the Dems will even fall. They control the vote count from the touch screen voting machines. That is ever so much easier and reliable and harder to see than recruiting thousands of illegals and winos and dead folks and physically carrying them to the polls.
“Boehner plans to stuff Amnesty down our throats in January.”.......
If Boehner thinks by getting amnesty for all those illegals it will help buy their new votes, he is dumber than I thought.
They are capable of anything and even more bold when threatened. He may not even leave
That’s hysterical! :):)
Lol!!
The media is like a sponge placed between an anvil and the hammer.
If the media were to be removed (print the truth) the hits would be sharp and painful to Obama.
Obama is protected by the liberal press to a point never seen before in America’s press.
Could you stifle the pessimism? The left only has lies. The Tea Party is just getting warmed up.
