Casino67 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Washington Post:By Michael GersonFriday, August 20, 2010The most destructive gap for President Obama is not the Republican lead on the generic congressional ballot or even a job disapproval that has surpassed approval -- it is the gap between aspiration and reality.The Manhattan mosque controversy showed the problem in compressed form. First came the Obama of high-toned principle (largely the right principle, in my view). Then a politically motivated recalibration. Then a scrambling staff explanation. Then an embarrassed silence, since it is difficult to clarify the clarification of a clarification. Then the president's regretful assertion of "no regrets."It was more than a lapse. From the firing of Shirley Sherrod to the obsession with Fox News to lashing the "professional left," the Obama administration engages in a daily hypocrisy. It attacks the sound and fury of the cable news cycle while being entirely captive to its rhythms. In the process, it often appears reactive, windblown and unprincipled.

AceRimmer Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I strongly recommend everybody read this editorial, because it rips the Chosen One to shreds, in the Washington Post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTexan Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 All politicians fall -- but not from such a height. All politicians fall -- but not from such an imagined height. The only people that believed that he was actually at that height... were dyed-in-the-wool Liberals, the entire AA community, the uniformed, and hopelessly gullible. I say... "Well DUH!"

cudjo Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I don't know why anyone would be the least bit surprised at what a dud he is, that should have been obvious before so many idiots voted for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I don't know why anyone would be the least bit surprised at what a dud he is, that should have been obvious before so many idiots voted for him BINGO We have a winner! I recall during both the primary and general elections, asking people why they thought Barack Obama would be a good President? What had he ever actually done that would lead you to believe he should be President? (sad to say) All I got was A. a blank stare or B. a rant against George Bush. What we had in 08 was style over substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceRimmer Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I don't know why anyone would be the least bit surprised at what a dud he is, that should have been obvious before so many idiots voted for him It's no surprise for us, we knew he was the second coming of Jimmy Carter before he was even elected. But with the LSM completely in the tank, they managed to con enough indy's into voting for him that he won. I predicted back in '08 that it didn't matter whether Obambi or McCain won, they were going to be a one-term President. Two years later, it looks like my preditction is coming true...

Pepper Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Acerimmer Casino67 Great article. The comments from the stuck pigs that follow the article are pretty good, too. I don't agree with the premise of the concluding line. All politicians fall -- but not from such a height. Not every politician falls - and as NCTexan wrote above, the fall is from an imaginary height. Artificially created by a complicit set of presstitutes and liberal supporters.
