   Amazing story on Powerline. Reuters ran a story critical of the Democrats budget. The White House called and complained.

   So Reuters pulled the story.

   Clearly the GOP is comprised of people who really did not get that Clark Kent was THE SAME as Superman….the glasses thing totally confused them.

   Of course – this in no way means that Pres O is Superman….but his mere accessories seem to dazzle the masses.

   I read that AP story Michelle cited earlier today. And the story there now is not quite the same one. They edited it without telling anyone.

   The first version read like it was written by the DNC. If somebody has time on their hands it might be entertaining to track down the prior draft.

   Coupled with the sound-bite rich demagoguery-fest from Dirty Harry today, this is an apparent ploy…a Plooffff ploy?…to throw magic dust in the eyes of the people.

   Is anybody with a brain buying it?

   I rather think not.

   Once again, Zerobama proves that he has a tin ear when it comes to listening to voters. His party’s losses in VA, NJ, and MA had nothing to do with his party’s hard-left agenda; it was “political opportunism”!

   Yo Hussein, listen up! We HATE the way you’re fouling up this country. You still have a chance to save yourselves if you steer a more center course. Clinton somehow pulled it off.

   I watched the whole thing (BloombergTV is a lapdog for everything Obama). Just after complaining about everyone “playing politics in Washington” while the serious “business of the people” goes unattended to, he launches right into the latest of his “the problems that I inherited” whines.

   Everyone else is “playing politics” (isn’t that why they call them politicians?) but when he attacks and then fires off his litany of usual lies, that’s serious negotiation seeking a bipartisan solution.

   This guy has serious mental problems

    He reached across the aisle…to smack GOP leaders in the face:
    “You’re out of patience with this kind of business as usual,” he told his 1,600-member audience. “You want us to start worrying less about our jobs and more about your jobs.”

    Obama: “Don’t make me break out the clothes hanger wrapped in a towel! You just get back out there on the street and gets me my money!”

    Yes, that is very true. But what I would really like is for government to get the heck out of the trying to create jobs in the first place. That is not the job of government. Their job is to abide by the rules set down in the Constitution and then stay out of our way. With all their interference they have created a climate where it is simply not profitable to create a business or expand one in the USA, particularly is you are a small business, where most jobs are created.

    I want the Democratic party to worry less about funneling government money to their supporters. If they do that, they’re free to worry about their jobs all they want.

    If they do that, they’d have less reason to worry about their jobs in the first place.

    This little boy President will not change his ways. We Conservatives need to increase the criticisms of B. Hussein Obama and his Democrat minions in the House and Senate. Every little criticism he hears becomes a personal attack which he feels he must respond. He can’t handle it. His political mistakes will only increase and his failures will be colossal. He’s been crying so much and so often, someone needs to check his diapers.

    I assume he is talking about Snowe who now says the stimulus is porkulus … Also I doubt Collins giving him a double high kick in the Saturday redress did much to help.

    Shouldn’t the Republicans be standing up and saying Obama’s 2011 budget is going to bankrupt the country?

    President Barack Obama branded Republicans on Tuesday as electoral opportunists more concerned about their own interests than the people’s, taking a political risk by escalating criticism of the very lawmakers he’s urging to work with him.

    Citing examples, he took Republicans to task for switching positions on important issues just to score points with voters.

    Just wow! This from the man for whom every campaign promise has an expiration date. Besides, I don’t even know who and what he’s talking about. Snowe and Collins? Boo Hoo!

    From the article:

    He also criticized Republicans for opposing a bill to create a bipartisan commission on reducing the deficit. He said seven GOP senators who once co-sponsored the bill later voted against it.

    Any sane Congressman would have to vote against it once it becomes clear that it’s just a gimmick on Obama’s part. Who can take him seriously on this? He forces through a “stimulus” bill that fantastically fails to stimulate the economy or much of anything else except government jobs, and is now pushing for a repeat of the same folly, and now he thinks that creating a “deficit reduction commission” shows some kind of sincere desire to reduce the deficit?

    Fearful of losses in the November congressional and gubernatorial elections, Democrats have been urging Obama to throw tougher punches at Republicans.

    And the Republicans had best start punching back, and hard. There’s no reason for them to let that little punk try to get any hits against them after what he tried to pull with health care.

    No wonder the GOP is stunned (well, they seem to be stuck in the “deer in the headlights” mode, anyway)…but after this colossal hypocrisy, I’m stunned, too. On the heels of his lame criticism of the Citizens United decision – that it would allow “foreign countries and corporations to decide our elections” – as if they weren’t the ones who helped propel him into office – now he has the gall to talk about someone else’s “political opportunism”? PPhil, I think he thinks WE have the mental problem – one would have to, in order to believe these whoppers.

    The bar for lies goes higher and higher with each successive Democrat President. These skillful manipulators boggle the mind on a daily basis. I thought Bill Clinton could never be topped in the outright lies category.

    HOWEVER, Obama and his inner circle almost make Clinton and Company look like rank amateurs.

    Although I expect Obama to be President for Life, if I am wrong, the next Democrat may have to break the chain. Who could take lying to an even higher level? I know……. there are plenty of libs ready for the challenge.

    He’s going to complain himself into lame duck status if he keeps it up. I guess he’s expecting R’s to forget about his railroading and brow beating of them when R’s take majorities in congress.

    Obama is all for bipartisanship. . . unless he has supermajorities in congress. . . in which case, it’s still the R’s fault somehow.

    Obama is going down fast and will continue to fall. In America, we build people up to tear them down. We built a new level for Obama to perch on. By the end of his term, if he doesn’t become more sensible and pragmatic, his approval ratings will be lower than Carter’s.

    Obama would do well to fire the yes men around him and get people around him that will tell him the truth. Universal Health Insurance was, is, and will always be a bad idea.

    I know he’s black, and he’s supposed to be a champion of things to help the black community, but I doubt he’s ever gone to a barber shop where everyone there was begging him for health insurance. Health insurance was a dumb way to waste political capital.

    I hope he does become more pragmatic. I would hate for Obama’s presidency to taint future black candidates for president. If Obama continues to increase the deficit faster than at any time in history, and unemployment stays high (likely), then any new black candidate will be compared to Obama.

    Obama could become a dirty word. ie, people might say, ‘we don’t want another black president because they’ll be like Obama’. . . maybe they’d rather have an asian or hispanic president instead.

    I don’t suppose that, “never let a crises go to waste” (the cornerstone of Obama’s administration) has anything to do with political opportunism. No matter…the people of this country are waking up. Obama’s rhetoric is getting old and his accomplishments are still at zero and holding. I don’t understand how even liberals can stand to listen to him anymore.
