doing a pas de deux.. He hasn’t been the same since tripping over his feet at a performance for the Chicago Boys School for Cross Gender Studies.
Rahm is not intelligent, he is a Democrat, and the twain will never meet. Any democrat who can sign an X on a dotted line, after locating the line, is hailed as visionary and brainy sophisticate. By who? By some of the dumbest and most narrow people in America, our journalists. If you agree with their scatter brained wet dreams you are intelligent, an indication itself of their, and the democrats, cow like minds.

Tough guy Rahm and his boss reek of incompetence. Even after a long pause it’s difficult to absorb their clumsiness and grossness in the first six months, the stumbles, the poor timing and planning, the amateurishness of so called professionals.

There’s something about the collectivist, power seeking personality that works against rationality, thought and prudence. It could be many things, but one certainly is the rush for and the lust for, power over their fellows.
But we will continue to see those staged photos of brilliant tough guy Rham whispering his pearls of wisdom into into the ear of the equally brilliant Obama, as they stumble towards another grotesque blunder.
Only Republicans are stupid.

- these jobs figures are far worse than the ones the White House warned us about if we DIDN’T pass the bill- so it was passed, and then unemployment soars anyway?

Instead of creating jobs, interest rates were bumped up, the dollar slid… and it didn’t help anybody get any work. Much of this is due to the fact that Obama’s agenda has mortified almost every machine of job-and-growth creation in the country.

The One couldn’t deliver the type of “temporary, targeted, and timely” bill that he promised repeatedly, and regardless of his image in the press, Obama simply lacks the the political stature to control Pelosi and Reid… who hit the trough hard, while bickering like siblings.

And the lack of GOP co-conspirators exposed Obama politically… this legislation now looks to be a HUGE gamble. And when all this pork-n-welfare fails to generate any real economic gains, the Democrats will face a bloodbath in 2010.

One could even make the argument that Obama knows his legacy will be in tatters by 2012… so is just ramming-through as much of his far-left agenda as he can before the day comes when people cringe at the mere mention of his name… sure seems like it.

I agree with your first sentence. The second one is not so clear. I think that Obama was under the impression that the sound of his beautiful voice reading platitudes from a teleprompter would carry him through 8 years just like it did during the campaign. But he basically has NO MESSAGE that he can use his lilting angelic voice to sell the American public. SOME in the media (e.g. Helen Thomas) are waking up to the fact the he is totally clueless and out of his league. And his main interface to the press and the American public is…Robert Gibbs?!?! So just where is this vaunted PR? I’m not seeing it, and the poll numbers are starting to reflect it.

And exactly what are Emanuel and David Axelcrook up to these days? We sure don’t hear much about them. Axelcrook is probably busy astroturfing and orchestrating the anti-Palin offensive. But astroturfing only works to a point also, and that seems to be wearing thin.

All in all, unless the economy makes a miraculous turnaround in the next 18 months (HIGHLY unlikely), the GOP should have the opportunity, if WE can come up with a good PR strategy, to have a midterm success of historic proportions that may dwarf 1994. But we have much to do!

With the Bush White House we had (generally) the right policies but the wrong PR

With the Obama White House we have (generally) the wrong policies but great PR.

We’ll have to see…
