I wouldn't count Barry out just yet. America still has millions of infantile voters who expect the fedgov to spoonfeed them. America still has a thoroughly Communist press, able to demonize any opponent of BHO and his programs. I'm not sure that the Republicans ability to filibuster Democratic bills will help them, or anyone else, in the long run. Does anyone else remember government shutdown in late 1995? Slick Willie Clinton actually caused it by vetoing a continuing resolution, but the Republicans got the blame.

All through the campaign and numerous times during his first year in office I have heard this clown speak without end.

While I watch the federal government pissing away money all the time, federal salaries are in the $100,000 to $ 200,000 for experienced professionals (most capped at $ 155,000). But what does one say about Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and the pseudogovernmental institutions that pay millions and are unaccountable? Then you have the insider banks like Goldman Sachs with hundred million dollar compensations and ripping the taxpayers off for Billions (in bailouts).

Meanwhile, can one point to any real consumer PRODUCTION job being created by Obama (or the Republicans)?? These are make work jobs at the expense of anything productive.

Auster and Steyn are presuming in all the wrong places. It isn’t stupidity but conceit that describes BO…

To my knowledge, Auster has never presumed that pure stupidity was Obama’s prime mover.

The country is broke. He doesn’t care where he squeezes the money he wants from. First, the global warming scam falls apart, and then the big health bill follows. The govt is getting desperate for funds so he will take them where he finds them, and he isn’t too picky where it comes from.

BO might look stupid from the outside but inside he’s singing “if you could see things through my eyes”.

Auster and Steyn are presuming in all the wrong places. It isn’t stupidity but conceit that describes BO; the conceit of a man who’s carried life-long resentments around like a hobo’s poke and the conceit of a man who’s been flattered, fawned over, rewarded, and honored as the white man’s perfect black man – most recently by Harry Reid.

BO’s psychological narcissism… – egotism? solipsism? – there’s just no one right word as the nuances all apply – makes him the model of conceit and a perfect candidate for autarch.

I get another impression, that of a man simply trying to save face, keep the flag flying, so to speak. Like his attacks on the banks are mostly smoke and mirrors to make him look like the champion against the mean ol banks and insurance companies. Despite all the talk in the news about how the Democrats were defeated by Brown’s win and that the ‘Senate Health care plan’ was destroyed, we know that it’s not true. The Democrats still have the majority and the Republicans can now Filibuster, that’s about it. Maybe the Republicans can do some strong arming in the Senate to get some of the pie; but overall, adding another Neo-con light to the mix isn’t going to do that much. Of course the Democrats could throw in the towel or water it down for their own reasons, like 2010 or 12.

More than anything else Obama is a sophist.
