Topic: The O'BamaVoter® "Regrets And Sniffles" Thread

[trapeze]

There isn't a whole lot to be happy about these days.

The economy is nearly beyond recovery. Unemployment numbers are a joke that no one laughs at since half the country is actually out of work. The war is being mismanaged and our troops are dying over politically correct stupid rules of engagement and moronic non-strategies. The social order is absolutely going nuts with  bands of minority thugs running wild in the streets (they used to call these "race riots").

So... you gotta get your laughs where you can. And, one of the best sources for cheap laughter is O'BamaVoters® regretting that they elected a dope.

Here is a great article to kick this thread off. I hope that more will follow and that everyone can find a way to contribute to this thread.

“Remember that 3 a.m. phone call? Remember the warning about the rose-colored petals falling from the sky? Remember about learning on the job? Sure you do. Doesn’t a part of you, deep down, realize she was right?” wrote Dickinson, a political-science professor at Middlebury College. “If I heard it once this last week, I heard it a thousand times: You were duped by Obama’s rhetoric—the whole ‘hopey-changey’ thing. And you wanted to be part of history, too—to help break down the ultimate racial barrier. That’s OK. We were all young once. But now it’s time to elect someone who can play hardball, who understands how to be ruthless, who will be a real ... uh ... tough negotiator in office. There won’t be any debate about Hillary’s, er, ‘man-package.'"

Pure comedy gold. Read the whole thing.

Not to derail the thread right out of the box, but I think there is a real possibility of a Hillary Clinton primary challenge to Obama, despite her protestations. We'll know when we know, but I'm beginning to see it as the only viable way for the Democrats to hold onto the "transformation" they've so recklessly accomplished in the last 2 1/2 years. I think the calls for her to challenge him will hit critical mass.

[trapeze]

I don't see that as a derail. It's more of a confirmation of O'BamaVoter® regret. But primary or not there is bound to be plenty more where this came from. Things are miserable for everyone and yet this doofus plays golf every weekend and tells everyone that things are getting better and how wonderful he is. It's a perfect setup for O'BamaVoter® regret and angst.

And it's not as if HRC is left untouched by the tar baby that is the O'Bama presidency. It cracks me up how the O'BamaVoters® in the article think she has had such a stellar performance at State...how she is so much more "experienced" than BO. What a crock. Her resume is every bit as thin as his with perhaps a better academic record. Her only "qualification" is that she was married to a guy who was president during a time when it was pretty hard to screw things up...not that he didn't try. O'BamaVoters® are clearly nostalgic for Slick and the good old days when a Democratic president didn't turn everything he touched to crap. They long for days when the only problems (that they perceived) were presidential sex hijinks.

Well, this is their president now and they don't like him very much. They have buyer's remorse for various reasons but the funniest ones center around how he is just getting rolled by the Republicans. IOW, they want even more leftist stuff 'cause we aren't going to hell fast enough for them.

One could argue that things are right on schedule for him and Bill.

[trapeze]

Really, this is sort of like shooting fish in a barrel...

Schieffer: I want to show you something. This is an interview that the President had with Matt Lauer of the Today program about a month after he took office in 2009. I just want you to listen to this.

START CLIP

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Look, I'm at the start of my administration. One nice thing about - the situation I find myself in is that I will be held accountable. You know, I've got four years. And -

MATT LAUER: You're gonna know quickly how people feel -

PRESIDENT OBAMA: - and - and -

MATT LAUER: - about what -

PRESIDENT OBAMA: that's exactly right. And - and, you know, a year from now I think people - are gonna see that - we're starting to make some progress. But there's still gonna be some pain out there. If I don't have this done in three years, then there's gonna be a one-term proposition.

END CLIP

Schieffer: So there you are, Mr. Axelrod, that was the President at the start. We're getting right up to that three year point. Is this going to be a one-term presidency?

Axelrod: I think the question is what this election...first of all, let's certify that we have, we're in a different place then we were on the day he did that interview.

Schieffer: Well we are, things are worse.

Not buying it. The Hildebeast won't run.

She should have run in '06 - she coulda won (glad she didn't!). She waited too long and now the window has closed. Bill brought the fiercest political machine of the last four decades to bear in '08 and got trounced by a nobody with zero experience.

Since then she has worked as one of Øbozo's toadys and, in recent months acted disturbingly like the cat lady. Add to the equation the finality of her insistence that she has no presidential aspirations and I would say her cachet has all the fragrance of a summertime garbage dump.

There may come a "Mrs. President" but it won't be clinton.

"An underperforming president"

The self-described smartest woman on the planet will not want to be remembered as the person who de-railed a halfrican president...her multi-culti/diversity/pc hard-wiring will not allow it.

That didn't stop her in 08. Not that I think she will run, either. I don't. The funny stuff is the Democrats' regrets over electing a dope.

Heh.  I still think they're in denial about that.  But maybe there is a critical mass point being reached where even a libtard begins to experience cognitive dissonance.

Rush is talking about this.

Perhaps if the DemonRat PTB's put a plan in place to replace Duh Wun...but to what end?  Are they truly deluded enough to think a seemingly loyal member of the Obama Court will be more palatable for the electorate than anything the Repub's put up?  She'll still spend a buttload of money too, right?

Goog luck selling that.

Maybe if she resigns on principle first, like umm, now!

Another funny point is that the MFM is fixated on the far left's regrets about BO not being far enough to the left for them.

The real (untold) story is how the non-affiliated O'BamaVoters® are turning away in droves. That's the number that will make for a landslide next year. The far left O'BamaVoter® is regretful only that BO isn't the lefty they thought he was. They will still grudgingly vote for him the same way that the diehard libs grudgingly voted for Carter in 1980. In other words, BO will always be able to count on the hopelessly stupid demographic.

I think, though, that in the coming weeks the MFM will print more and more of these regretful O'BamaVoter® stories because, like it or not, that is the mood in every nook and cranny in the country. People are pissed and that attitude won't get better as the election approaches. I believe that BO will eventually have a lower approval rating than GWB did at the end of his second term and that it will continue to be a downward trend all the way to the end. He would already be there if he had a press as hostile as GWB had for all eight of his years.

But the good news is that BO won't do an LBJ and announce that he won't run for re-election for the good of the party. BO is too much the narcissist for that. He'll ride those piss poor approval ratings all the way to the basement all the time saying it's GWB's (and the tea party's) fault and that things are better.

So, more funny regretful O'BamaVoter® stories are on the way.

True but only for the public, Marxists are also wired to, in obscurity, eliminate obstacles.

No doubt many interesting days ahead...

[trapeze]

The NYTs offers this whiny (and very long) piece titled, "What Happened To Obama?" by a snooty psychology prof at Emory, Drew Westen. Most of the column is typical whiny very far left liberal drivel and it's insufferably boring. The angst and regret comes at the end...

THE real conundrum is why the president seems so compelled to take both sides of every issue, encouraging voters to project whatever they want on him, and hoping they won’t realize which hand is holding the rabbit. That a large section of the country views him as a socialist while many in his own party are concluding that he does not share their values speaks volumes — but not the volumes his advisers are selling: that if you make both the right and left mad, you must be doing something right.

As a practicing psychologist with more than 25 years of experience, I will resist the temptation to diagnose at a distance, but as a scientist and strategic consultant I will venture some hypotheses.

The most charitable explanation is that he and his advisers have succumbed to a view of electoral success to which many Democrats succumb — that “centrist” voters like “centrist” politicians. Unfortunately, reality is more complicated. Centrist voters prefer honest politicians who help them solve their problems. A second possibility is that he is simply not up to the task by virtue of his lack of experience and a character defect that might not have been so debilitating at some other time in history. Those of us who were bewitched by his eloquence on the campaign trail chose to ignore some disquieting aspects of his biography: that he had accomplished very little before he ran for president, having never run a business or a state; that he had a singularly unremarkable career as a law professor, publishing nothing in 12 years at the University of Chicago other than an autobiography; and that, before joining the United States Senate, he had voted "present" (instead of "yea" or "nay") 130 times, sometimes dodging difficult issues.

Pieces such as this are the beginning of a narrative. That a narrative which runs counter to the "BO as god" meme has begun is remarkable. It will be interesting to see how quickly this narrative is expanded. I do not think that this is a fluke. I believe that the tipping point has passed.

Good times, good times.

The left simply didn't understand that there had to be some semblance that he was trying his best at making the country better. Many of his actions were done by executive order by and large it was a democratic elected dictator so he couldn't just do it on his own like Chavez or Mao much to the chagrin of his supporters. His Congress, a rubber stamp for the destruction thrust upon the country, made themselves irrelevant asap. The winds of "change" shifted rather abruptly during the healthcare debate and he was caught flat footed by the overwhelming dissent of the populous demanding that he stop with the procedural takeover of the healthcare system. It got worse from there on out.

It's sad indeed that it took a bitchslapping and Sister Mary Elephant for the centrists to wake up to the nightmare hat is Obama the Terrible.

I wonder if Obama really thought the deification would last. I wonder if he thinks he can recreate it. I wonder if he even realizes it's abating.

To the Marxist it's proportional: the ratio of loss of public support to the increase in control of the levers of power.  The levers of power that were once invested to us and delegated to our representatives.

I believe that's correct.  The less support, the tighter he grips, using his minions.  He's writing EOs; the EPA/FDA/NLRB are still issuing mandates and churning out new regulations.  Should his place in power be firmly cemented, the public support will be required to be feigned.

Another ratio - desperation:action, the Obama economy is imploding and the proglodyte trash is about to go full-blown ape-sh*t -

I've been thinking for a while now that it would behoove us to get behind a clear choice early, and for my money that choice is Bachmann. There's a number of things I want to nip in the bud early: Romney and the Rovian constellation in orbit around him, and also this coquettish "will he / won't he" messaging from Rick Perry. Michele has the goods, and more balls than the rest of those Ruling Class eunuchs combined. She has momentum right now, and I'd like to for once employ the technique of "fait accompli" for our own purpose.
