Barack Obama hit the campaign trail this week to resurrect some of that hopey-changey stuff and to complain that his critics talk about him "like a dog." Turns out the president wasn't, in fact, referring to his own party.
Voters might be forgiven the confusion. It isn't as if Democrats have been showing Mr. Obama much love. Quite the opposite. Seven weeks from Election Day, the vulnerable wing of the majority has finally found itself a campaign issue: blunt opposition to Mr. Obama and his agenda.
Has it only been 20 months? Candidate Obama swelled into office with an ambitiously liberal plab. He promised his party that his legislative items would be more than policy triumphs; they'd be political triumphs. Stick with me, he said, and we'll get credit for leadership. Voters will come to love this stuff. Polls will improve. I'll campaign in your district.
Heh, heh, heh...
One of the best posts I’ve seen as a lurker or a member of Free Republic.
Good night.
The problem is now, of course, that he has two years left, and he will finish out his agenda without Congressional help. He will do what they put him in to do, no matter what it costs. There is a bigger agenda here than his legacy.
That’s dictatorial style government to a tee.
Be afraid, be very afraid. It’s going to get ugly.
Plab? Not in my 1950 Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary.
The reason they don’t want to talk about these issues is that they voted for them. They didn’t vote to create the economy (except indirectly). They very specifically voted for healthcare, cap and trade (in the case of the House), all of the TARP and stimulus plabs. Republicans need to hang these plabs around their necks. If they do, almost every seat is in play.
LOL
That will be fun because when we say that to them they simply will not be able to just grin and bear it.
My drinking game for November will be one drink everytime a lib says "racist" during a discussion of the election. I hope that plug-in external liver arrives in time!
Be afraid, be very afraid. It’s going to get ugly.
Yep, remember the comments that Conservatism was dead. Even politicians in the Republican party were jumping on that band wagon.
Suddenly, Conservatism is alive and well, and Fascism, Marxism, Socialism, and Communism are on the run. Who knew?
I did. Given two years of Obama, what other outcome could there be.
Obama doesn’t realize he has gone past the point of no return. He has over played his hand and now even his most ardent supporters are backing away when he offers his help. I hope he continues to isolate himself and hopefully his own party will feel the need to impeach this imposter.

>>”...there’s no way a Republican majority can override Obama’s veto until January 2013.”
Unless they get a veto-proof majority.If they get a smaller majority, the could de-fund the white house until the 41 tax cheats paid up. They could explicitly de-fund the DOJ suits against Arizona.
I, OTOH, the Republicans just carry on with business as usual, that may well infuriate the Tea Parties to the extent that they form another party.
Think WHIG.

plab? Sure, it’s a combination of “platform” and “blab,” like you blab about your stupid platform, so it’s your “plab.”
Perhaps it's an anagram? Promoting Lies And Blasphemers?
It is nearly Oktoberfest. Prost!
the ads here in Illinois from the dems don’t mention party affiliation, and they are all “independents” who are for smaller government and less taxes!
its a joke.
If they don’t have a R or D mentioned in the ad, they are a D, but I’m sure many folks will be fooled. Half our population is retarded.
They can shirk zero off their campaigns, but they can’t get away from their voting records which reflect lockstep cooperation with zero’s agenda. That makes it their agenda as well. This is the same old sucker-punch setup.
