Mr. Obama wishes he had President Bush's talent, smarts and resolve, much less President Reagan's.

In the Obamaverse, “fight” means “talk a lot more than before”.

It is now generally agreed that, as a candidate for president, Obama failed to define himself as a liberal

This was on purpose or he would have NEVER been elected. It's one of the reasons that they went after Joe the Plumber, to distract from what Obeyme gave away in his answer.

He has attempted to tax, he has spent, and he has regulated in ways that threaten livelihoods and which run counter to Main Street common sense. The sense of alienation that produces among voters is not transient; it endures and it is costly.

Obeyme has yet to learn this.

Obama is good at one thing. Showing the nation he is a Marxist. Rebuilding the middle class? Buahahahahaha!

BTW, This is really bad for Obama's health.Arrogant, delusional, and soon to be gone.

Obama channeling JFK: “Ask not what your country can do for you...ask what you and your country can do for me.”

Conventional forces attacking US civilians will eventually either defect or be destroyed.

They won't stand a chance against a civilian population that is pissed off and cornered.

The problem with generating hate, class envy, racial tensions, greed and civil unrest for political gain is that it turns on you when you can’t manipulate it. Obamao’s inexperience is showing. People are beginning to see their real problem, Obamao.

Indeed. The author was right on a lot of things, except that he seems to believe that Bush didn’t govern from the center but from the right...which was anything but the truth. Bush’s whole problem was that he plunged so far into the center that he overshot and went left.

And that’s what people didn’t like.

He came into office seeking to unite the country...

His actions say otherwise. He said he came into office seeking to "fundamentally transform" the US, and that he has tried to do. He's tried to change the US into a socialist huge government state with leanings toward fascism.

America is a "Goldilocks" country - neither too right nor too left. The Democrats forgot that iron rule quickly once they got all three branches of government in their grasp and now they're paying for it in spades.

They didn't like it indeed.

Bush's approval as he left office ran from a CBS poll of only 22% to others at around 26%. To get that low, Bush had to lose the approval of all Democrats, all independents and alienate 33% of Republicans.

When you forget who brought you to the dance, don't be surprised when you don't have a ride home after the dance.

They are trying to ram stuff onto us that is simply not COMPATIBLE with our systems of finance, commerce, nor rights or our society in general. This nation did not evolve with the sort of crap they are prescribing, and it's getting rejected right back at them. Yet they keep banging away at the square peg sitting over a small round hole in the certainty that it'll fit any minute now.
