People who believe government doesn’t work are most empowered.

That's actually a sharp insight. "People who believe government doesn't work" figure that they'd better plan on taking care of themselves (and their families and neighbors), and the next thing you know, they're "empowered" to do things like pursue useful education, work hard, save, act responsibly, etc.

My goodness, Democrats can't have THAT, can they?

His defining personal characteristic is incompetence, combined with a self-centeredness that prevents him from seeing past his own navel.

John Ransom nails it again. Obama, the proven liar, has an acute lack of retrospection. Liberals generally don't. Communism and Fascism don't either.

If Obama dared to reconsider his hell-bent ideology, he would only be left with incompetence.

Just yesterday, MLK III told Glen Toure that blacks need to stop being a monolithic voting block and to vote republican, be independent and engage the tea party. The look on Toure's face was priceless.

How do you spend $5 trillion and not even marginally help the very people that you say you care about the most?

That simple question provides the perspective lacking in the news media. Smart conservative candidates will be asking that question in 15 and 30 second ads.

Sentiments i totally agree with. Obama is really just that stupid. Arrogant as well. I don’t know just how arrogant he was before he started getting attention. Once he started to be worshiped however that feature simply had to become a defining trait of his.

“nor is he the maniacal mastermind of socialist America, the lead miner and sapper of capitalism.”

I disagree.

I disagree. While he would undoubtedly be considered incompetent for a number of tasks he doesn’t value, he’s been extraordinarily able as far as his goals and ambitions are concerned.

Letting him off the hook with the label of incompetent is the RINO’s way.

One only needs to look as far as the teachings of Saul Alinsky for the answer to that. Alinsky made no secret about the fact that the poor were nothing more than a tool for him to use to get what he wanted and couldn't care less about the poor beyond that.

If you've ever heard the story of how Wade Rathke gained control of ACORN and turned it into a massive vote stealing community organizing group its the same thing.

To me, the political monolicity of the various subcultures in what is termed the black community does not compute.

The number of rational souls is about 5% leaving 95% irrationality.

Given that say half of the black people don’t vote anyway, that seems to mean that the very people to whom the message is directed never vote anyway.

smart conservative candidates...

With a few notable exceptions in the HOR and two or so in the US Senate, that's an oxymoron.

Romney could've done it if he didn't shy away from the fragile communities that are worse off since Obama took office. The message that would do it is one of US jobs for US citizens and making it much easier to be self-employed, or start and grow a small business. He should've brought Ann with him to some minority schools to talk about making neighborhoods safer and family values.

Would everyone be won over by the 'pubs taking that direction? Of course not. But it's a message that would get a pretty healthy percentage of blacks and hispanics to go along with.

Unfortunately, the party is controlled by those singing the globalist/pro banker song.

I disagree with this premise

His defining personal characteristic is incompetence, combined with a self-centeredness that prevents him from seeing past his own navel.

Although it is one of his characteristics, it's not the one that defines him.

What defines him is his hatred of American principles and much of the good that once came from those principles. He is not simply a lesser evil, he stands for a far greater evil than any of us has known.

I disagree with John Ransom.

Incompetent leaders do not come out of the woodwork with support from the majority (media, women, catholics, blacks, hispanics, et al) twice (2008 and 2012) while proclaiming redistribution of wealth as his goal without being a mastermind during the socialization of this country!!! Most of those who still claim to be patriots are saying to themselves WTF happened?

Obama knows exactly what he is doing!

“$5 trillion for Wall Street, but not one dollar for African-Americans?”

Look at Obama’s pictures before he got elected. He oozed arrogance back then.

absolutely. so here’s the challenge for anyone that disagrees with the above. name more than one, maybe two, Marxist type changes Obama has lost/failed on. now something like Syria is not a loss “for him”, because he didn’t want a war.
he won on obamacare, the biggie. keystone, eric holder never left, irs hasn’t been punished, etc.
