From the beginning of the week to the end, the president made crystal-clear to anyone who paid attention that he was over his head in this position and that he was startlingly disengaged in all but the most trivial of ceremonial matters.
Obama's agents hammered out a proposed tax deal in which he seemed to play no significant role and which totally undercut his promise to end tax cuts for the rich. That redistributive, economically ridiculous position is one of the few things on which he has not heretofore been a slippery, tilting-at-straw-men con man. It is perfectly consistent with some 1930s view of capitalism in which there are starving, dispossessed Okies at one end of the economic spectrum and top-hatted, morning-coated fat plutocrats on the other.
Still, since all of Obama's other tricks to jolt the economy and cease its free-fall have failed, someone (possibly Larry Summers) apparently caught his ear and suggested to this economic illiterate that ending the Bush tax cuts would only force a quicker death spiral.
His ambiguous efforts to sell the deal to the equally radical economic illiterates in this party naturally didn't go well in either the Senate, where his party will soon hold a slimmer majority, or the House, where the Republicans won 63 seats and virtually the entire moderate wing of the party was wiped out of office. Revealing that he hasn't the slightest clue about negotiating, Obama made a laughable claim comparing his political opponents to hostage takers: "It's tempting not to negotiate with hostage takers unless the hostage gets harmed," President Obama said at his Tuesday press conference."

Like "DUH!"
That's half the reason we are in this mess.
Clarice Feldman is the anti Peggy Noonan and a gift to opinion writing. What a great turn of phrase this; “(Obama)a slippery, tilting-at-straw-men con man....perfectly consistent with some 1930s view of capitalism”. Ouch, bam, knockout. Thanks Clarice!
Steve Bridges imitated George Bush on the Jay Leno Show during the entire eight years he was president. He was made up to look and act almost exactly like Bush. He has now started imitating Obama. The Administration has tried to put a stop to Bridges’ act because Obama has made it known that he is deeply offended.

Small businesses say tax-cut extension won’t spur hiring
No kidding. During the Bush years we had the largest tax cuts and slowest job growth of modern times.
The problem is that economic activity depends on certainty.
Right now there is no certainty as far as business is concerned.
The current jobs that are being created are mostly temporary ones for the Christmas season.
Those jobs will mostly disappear after the season is over.
Furthermore, because of Obamacare and the suffocating regulations coming out of Washington and the Obama administration, this too is also causing major concern throughout the business sector.
Yet another factor is the massive spending coming out of this lame duck session of Congress.
All of these things taken into account is the reason for the anemic growth we are seeing.
We are still in a recession and it is not getting any better and neither this lame duck session of Congress or the Obama administration are taking constructive steps to change the outlook.

The Video is a HOOT!!!
Bridges has Obama down pat!!!
And in 2008 the Leftards were saying there wasn’t anything funny about Obama...
Come to think of it: they were right.
EVERYTHING ABOUT OBAMA IS FUNNY...HORRIBLE...BUT FUNNY.
These impressions have no bite to them. Typical SNL liberal “comedy” attempt.
With good reason...
Like Rush Limbaugh said Friday the riots in Britain are a preview with what will happen in this country in 2011 when the GOP House starts putting the brakes on socialism...
We can expect our Leftards to go ABSOLUTELY APE in the streets...just like they did in not-so-merry-olde England.
These times are very interesting.
This is a Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times.”
I agree that its not an “over the top” impression of Obama..but pretty funny.
BTW, Bridges is a white man playing black face. Interesting the PC brigades didn’t attack.
That does put him in a class with James Earl Carter [Just call me Jimmie]
The absolute fact that two years on the job have not taught him much should be my bumper sticker. The truth is what liberals hate and you just spoke the truth.

WHY ARE ALL THOSE PEOPLE LAUGHING? THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT AN INCOMPETENT FOOL DESTROYING AMERICA.
One can only hope that we get him out before he causes any more damage and remove all traces of him having ever been elected.
Mulatto-face, actually.
LOLOLOL.

Obama has made it known that he is deeply offended...poor whiny baby.
More nouns to describe Obama: wimp, sissy, girly man.
