Democrats' Bush-bashing strategy goes bust

"'Voters are pretty tired of the blame game,' said longtime Democratic strategist Steve Hildebrand, a top aide on Obama’s presidential campaign. 'What a stupid strategy that was.'”

Newsmax/Zogby Poll: Scott Brown Could Defeat Obama in Presidential Race

"A stunning new poll conducted by Newsmax/Zogby reveals that Massachusett's new Republican Sen.-elect Scott Brown could defeat President Barack Obama in a presidential election."

Obama Campaigned Against Spending Freeze

"No less than four times during the presidential debates did President Obama actively campaign against an across the board spending freeze."

Keep the change.

‘The Fix Was In’: Obama Donor Gets Sweetheart Real Estate Deal in Chicago

“'I put in the highest bid…a credible deal…and I lost to a party with a track record of contribution to Obama’s campaign and Nesbitt has a track record of being Obama’s money guy,' Bennett said. 'Look at how political fundraising has evolved. This appears to be a very corrupt quid pro quo involving campaign contributions.'”

Thomas Sowell: 1 thing's for certain: Politicians can count votes

"Even after Scott Brown came out of nowhere to make a stunning upset election victory, there were still some cute political tricks that could have been pulled to save the health-care bill. But enough Democrats saw the handwriting on the wall that they were not going to risk their own re-election to save this bill Barack Obama has been hell-bent to pass, even when polls showed repeatedly that the public didn't want it.

"President Obama's desire to do something 'historic' by succeeding, where previous presidents had failed, was perfectly consistent for a man consumed with his own ego satisfaction, rather than the welfare of the country or even of his own political party.

"As for the public, it doesn't matter if your congressman answers your letter with a form letter, or doesn't answer at all. What matters is that you let him know what you are for or against and, when enough people do that – whether in letters, in polls or in an election – politicians get the message, because they know their jobs depend on it."

Busted! Obama praise planted in U.S. newspapers

Aside from Light's messages, duplicate pro-Obama letters have been submitted to dozens of publications by writers identified as "Jan Chen," "Gloria Elle," "Cherry Jimenez," "Janet Leigh," "Earnest Gardner," "Jen Park," "Lars Deerman," "John F. Stott," "Gordon Adams," "Nancy Speed," "Sheila Price," "Clarence Ndangam," "Vernetta Mason," "Greg Mitchell," "Ermelinda Giurato," "J. Scott Piper," "Robert Vander Molen" and "Terri Reese."

Just as news of Light's duplicate messages broke, readers began finding various letters written by "Mark Spivey," a man who simultaneously claims to live in San Diego, Calif., and Naples, Fla. His pro-Obama letter, "Considering Afghanistan," was published by the Minnesota Daily, the Baltimore Chronicle, the San Diego Union-Tribune and Naples News.




Who is the Astroturf (phony grassroots) group now?

Obama's "Freeze"

"My position is, yes, this is mainly a symbolic gesture -- after all, the White House claims it would save $250 billion -- less than a third of the cost of the economic stimulus bill alone. It's only a temporary, three-year freeze that follows years of unprecedented spending and it comes as he's pitching a jobs bill, which is essentially a second stimulus. In fact, spending in 2011 to 2013 will total $11.4 trillion, according to the mid-session review of Obama's Office of Management and Budget. But with that said, I think this is a good issue for conservatives -- and also Republicans -- to get behind rather than just reflexively oppose. Point out why it's mainly cosmetic and doesn't go far enough, say 'I see you, and I raise you,' but still jump on any chance to reduce the growth in federal spending, however marginal."

Somebody Tell Sam Tanenhaus To Get Started on 'The Death of Liberalism'

"I realize liberal bloggers are always furious and overwrought and beside themselves with anger and fuming over the latest betrayal. But let's take a look at how they're reacting to the spending freeze proposal."

Tom Burghardt: The Obama Administration's Cover-up of the Flight 253 Affair

"'New Smoking Gun' Disclosures"

Left Coast Rebel: "Obama to Propose Spending Freeze in State of the Union? I'm 100% Skeptical "

"This just broke from Politico and the Wall Street Journal, aside from focusing on jobs and such (reeling from Mass.), the Obamanation is rumored to plan a 3 year freeze in discretionary, non defense federal spending. I don't know the detail/loopholes/posturing of such a thing but obviously this would be seen by the nutroots as a massive retracement of the leftwing agenda. Could it be a hoax as is PayGo? I assume that The One is simply just playing another bait and switch game, the joke being on Americans that live within their means."

Fred Barnes: Will Obama Face Reality?

"This is a bad sign. One of the important tests of a president, especially a relatively new one like Obama, is how he deals with a serious setback. Does he respond rationally and realistically? In Obama’s case, the answer is no."

Peter Roff: Obama Can’t Tap Voter Anger Because It’s Directed at Him

"He came into office seeking to unite the country, and his initial approval ratings ranked among the best for post-World War II presidents, including an average of 41 percent approval from Republicans in his first week in office. But he quickly lost most of his Republican support, with his approval rating among Republicans dropping below 30 percent in mid-February and below 20 percent in August. Throughout the year, his approval rating among Democrats exceeded 80 percent, and it showed little decline even as his overall approval rating fell from the mid-60s to roughly 50 percent.

"The fact that the president continues to run strong among Democrats, which the White House political operation must certainly regard as good news, is tempered by his poor showing among the overall electorate. The latest Gallup presidential job approval numbers have the streams about to cross, with 48 percent of those surveyed approving of his performance and 47 percent disapproving."

Ed Schultz Tells Robert Gibbs He is Full of Sh*t, Gibbs Responds With "F-Bomb"

“Mr. Gibbs and I had quite a conversation off the air the other night, I told him he was full of sh*t is what I told him. … And then he gave me the Dick Cheney f-bomb. … I told Robert Gibbs, I said “And I’m sorry you’re swearing at me, but I’m just trying to help you out. I’m telling you you’re losing your base. Do you understand you’re losing your base?”

Jonathan Emord: THE EARTHQUAKE THAT SHOOK MASSACHUSETTS

"President Obama’s coattails are as short as a mini-skirt. Just a year after his election, he lacks the influence necessary to sway the electorate that put him in office. His major forays into local politics on the side of Democrats have produced an unimpressive 0-3 record, as voters repeatedly kicked the Democrats out of power in New Jersey, Virginia, and now Massachusetts. In New Jersey, Democratic Governor Jon Corzine lost to Republican Chris Christie despite a personal visit and appeal from the President. In Virginia, Republican Bob McDonnell sacked Democrat Creigh Deeds, again despite a personal visit and appeal from the President. Finally, with the President days before the election pleading with voters to back Coakley, Brown who had been over 15 points behind in the polls surged ahead and defeated the well-known Coakley transferring power to Republican hands for the first time in over forty-five years. These three elections reveal great public dissatisfaction with Democratic leadership in Washington."

James H. Shott: Leftist ideology cannot solve the nation’s unemployment crisis

"It was those same insightful folks at the White House who predicted that the stimulus package would keep unemployment at or beneath 8 percent. As we know, unemployment promptly rose to above 10 percent; the stimulus targeted pork projects, not job creation.

"Creating or saving jobs is an elusive goal for this administration because it is blinded by its ideology. There really is no mystery about how to create jobs; it’s just that the way to do it challenges the basic tenets of American liberalism."

OMG!!! Obama DOES Believe That He's "The Chosen One"

‘Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.’

NOT A JOKE, Moonbats Claim Fixing The Ozone Layer Causes Global Warming

"Remember the big scare of the 1980s, when we were told that between all the fluorocarbons in products like hairspray and deodorant, a big hole was developing in the Ozone layer and the entire population of the world was about get cancer at the very same time? Good News! After taking fluorocarbons out of our products the holes in the Ozone layer over the Artic and Antarctic are closing. But have no fear the Ozone environmentalists haven't lost their life's mission, they can just become global warming moonbats. A new study claims that by closing the Ozone hole we are increasing global warming."

Dennis Prager: An Open Letter to Charles Johnson

"When you were on the politically and morally right side, Charles, you provided massive evidence for your positions. Now you throw verbal bombs. What happened? If you would like to tell me on my radio show, you are invited to do so. I miss you."

President Obama, the Teleprompter, and the Sixth Grade Class

The teleprompters were for the media, not the students.

Why are Democrats trying to help Republicans get elected?

Being 'Sorry' Isn't Enough Ms. Dorson.

"Well, Ms. Dobson, apology not accepted. Instead I offer you a big fat 'F*ck you'! Your colossal stupidity has doomed millions of Americans, who were ten times smarter than you, to the same fate of unemployment you now endure. You and your ilk run around pretending you are the smartest things on two feet, yet you could not see a dime store con artist standing right before you!

"You knock Sarah Palin as being a dumb soccer mom, but had you had three functioning brain cells, you would have noticed that Sarah Palin predicted exactly what Obama was going to be all about during her convention speech. How is it a supposed mental giant like you could not plainly see what poor rube Sarah Palin figured out in 5 seconds flat?

"Judging from the way you close your sorry ass apology, I am convinced that the next charlatan dangling the shiny object of Hope and Change will once again reel you in hook, line and sinker.

"Now take your snarky faux apology and get your dumb ass to the back of the bus! We The People have some work to do trying to figure a way out of the hot mess your Hope n’ Change binge brought us to."

A Culture of Losers

"It gets worse. Everyone is innocent, it seems, except those who are prepared to assume responsibility not only for themselves but for their cultural patrimony as well. Despite the superficial differences, it is really the same quivering mindset, the same passion for submission, that governs our behavior in both the domestic and international realms. In the former we regard ourselves as victims of social circumstances before which we protest our helplessness, demanding that the state pay welfare retribution to those who come bandaged with grievances. In the latter, we suffer for the sins of our precursors and implore forgiveness for their evident transgressions, pleading to be shriven by our enemies. For both we and our enemies are regarded as victims of the same tainted past."
