good article thanks for the link. I agree with the writer. BHO is bound to end in disappointment. History tells us so.

I’m sure it was, Sparky.

A /sarc tag would have helped, there are a fair number of trolls here who actually think NoBama has done something besides make a great speech at the 2004 Democrat Convention.

Two years into Obama’s campaign and they’re finally starting to notice that there’s nothing to this guy.

Better late than never, I guess.

I don’t think they’re seeing through him. I think they’re just going to a higher level of denial. They’re seeing where his pitch is weak so they’ll know where to give him more cover. And they’re figuring out which areas are too weak to be defended so they can agree that the attacks are true but counter that the whole area is not important. Precious few of them are capable of seeing thru Obama. It’s not in their nature.

If Hillary gets her floor vote at the DemCon and if enough supers are suffering buyers’ remorse, then they can say “We told ya so” safely.

Are these media elites just waking up!

Obama had only been in the Senate 143 days before announcing for president. Thats comparable to the length of time it took Kerry to put himself in for three (3) Purple Hearts in oder to get his butt out of Nam. Presidential candidates do the “darnest’ things sometimes. Most of the time they “almost” get there, but never do.

ouch

I’m sure it was, Sparky.

Obama’s little workout mit den Deutschen Mädchen sent him to his orthopedic surgeon to work on his hip upon return stateside. Either more went on than they let on, or Obama’s chain smoking body is riddled with frailty. Because of his lifelong vices, Obama should be required to provide proof that he is cancer free, particularly checking his lungs, lymph nodes and bones. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

Dufus Obama for POTUS!

So what have the democrats mutated themselves to become now? Leaping Lizards? Leap Frog?. “He’s done it with VALUES, though.” Exactly what road kill toad did she let out of the bag, because I know what she meant to say, but think again exactly her words in context.

Obama’s Value Leap of Faith Blue Plate Special on Credit:
Chicken Fried Yo Mamma; pay nothing now, get nothing later, lose everything in the deal (house, home, family, nation).

The WSJ has one the most intelligent discussions that I have seen yet on the Obama. Be warned, familiarity with, Livy, Machiavelli, Aristotle and Honest Iago (Shakespeare)etc. helps.

Thanks for that most excellent piece. City Journal (where it was originally published) rocks.

Via Blogs For John McCain:
 Here is video of a segment from “The Chris Matthews Show” over the weekend, in which the usually highly partisan Matthews (in favor of Obama) actually presses his assembled talking heads to come up with somethin…

His many accomplishments can’t be appreciated or admited by racists. There, I said it. Someone had to.

This is a joke right? Please enlighten us as to NoBama’s many accomplishments.

And the beef, for that matter??

Matthews himself called the question, “What has he done?”,

I wonder if Matthews and the rest are also ready to admit how they themselves are the ones responsible for elevating and putting this empty suit where he is???
