I meant…..the post article was garbled in that section.

In your dreams!

192 electoral college votes.

Why wasn’t Obama’s win even bigger? Hell, if Reagan had had everything going for him the way Obama did (including an embarrassingly sycophantic media), he would’ve gotten at least 85% of the vote in both elections.

I was wondering if the writing was so garbled that people thought she wrote it.

Oh, please. Enough with that stupid “Stupid Sarah” crap.

By the way, the NY Post has now denied Sarah the authorship of this piece and is now attributing it to Meghan Clyne, a DC based writer.

This potentially is controversial. Did the NY Post originally misattribute the piece to Sarah Palin (clerical or management error) or did it change the name of the author to deny Sarah Palin any more favorable publicity?

I just noticed that myself, I went back to the article after visiting it last night and found that the name had changed. Interesting.

Strange…

They are expecting these programs to actually work.

Will they? I don’t see any solid foundation for them. They are just like what he did in Chicago with education grants. Write a proposal and then pretend you’re doing something.

You can outrun results. Except, he won’t be able to do so.

Volunteer program…..sounds great. It’s smoke and mirrors time. We had that back in the 60′s, too, until it became nothing more than a source of funding for hacks who never really did much for people.

That’s just one example.

For now, Obama’s back-pedal on the bipartisanship promise just makes him look insincere. But the real consequences of the mistake will be felt soon enough. As Presidents Bush and Clinton could tell him, congressional majorities do change

Missouri GOP have a plan to give $1 Billion of the stimulus money back (rebates) to the people. They call for using part of the stimulus for infastructure, set aside some monies for future use and giving the rest as REBATE rather than spending it on pork projects across the state!

Missouri Democrats do not support this idea, of course.

People are angry that their tax dollars are spent on pet projects. If this GOP plan takes off nationwide and Democrats block it, they’ll be a turnover on the Hill….

Beyond specific policy areas, Obama continues to get high personal favorability ratings across a range of attributes. Overall, 72 percent of Americans have a favorable impression of the new president, down slightly from the eve of his inaugural but far higher than it was during the 2008 campaign. It is also about double Bush’s favorability rating when he left office in January (37 percent) and above where Bill Clinton’s was at this stage in 1993 (59 percent).

Nearly two-thirds said Obama has accomplished “a great deal” or “a good amount” in his first three months in office.

There is little appetite for compromise on what many see as core issues, and the road to the presidential nomination lies – as always – through a series of states where the conservative base holds sway, and where the anger appears to be, if anything, particularly intense.

heh…..the Angry Loozer Party.

But outside Washington, the reality is very different. Rank-and-file Republicans remain, by all indications, staunchly conservative, and they appear to have no desire to moderate their views. GOP activists and operatives say they hear intense anger at the White House and at the party’s own leaders on familiar issues – taxes, homosexuality, and immigration. Within the party, conservative groups have grown stronger absent the emergence of any organized moderate faction.

What’s really going to nail him, though,

Except that’s not how successful programs work.

Right now, he looks like a very mediocre thinker to me, anyway. Nothing has been exciting or creative. It’s just throw money out there and hope some of it helps. All of the programs seem contrived around public opinion mostly. A lot of the programs are so ancient that I think I’m back in the 60′s.

He seems particularly unaware of how his arrogance has created a kind of silent but growing indignation. People can be labeled racist only so much before it just will not be tolerable.

What’s really going to nail him, though, may be the utter failure of the financial program. It would appear that nothing he’s doing is helping. Some of it is actively hurting.

The backlash is going to sting. You all are going to be sitting flat on your a$$es holding your bloody noses and saying WTF happened. And Conservatives won’t make the mistake again about fearing a vigorous pursuit of a Conservative agenda over worries about being too partisan. And I will be enjoying every minute of it knowing you all will be looking for anyone to blame but yourselves because you pushed it too hard and too far left.

You are leading a horse with an empty saddle to another Donnybrook as far as i can see.

strangelet on April 26, 2009 at 10:55 AM

Right…that’s what your words say, but I pay more attention to your actions…and by my estimation, you’ve been spamming this Palin post with your “words of wisdom” for nearly 18 hours straight now…get some sleep girl…you may be hallucinating at the keyboard…

Mandate.

You guyz are just flailing around throwing random stuff at Obama, hoping something, anything, will stick.
Nothing is sticking so far.
And you don’t even have a candidate for 2012.

Rasmussen isn’t quite such good news for Obama.

But we’re not throwing anything at Obama. We’re just taking what he’s given: an inability to form a Cabinet that isn’t collectively a tax-dodging joke or (like Napolitano) just generally clueless; the Great American Apology Tour; taking on tough opponents like radio talk-show hosts, thereby probably doubling the audience of that host; mountains of debt as far as the eye can see, including the eyes of our great-grandkids; and on and on.

I agree that he’s extremely divisive Honda. I think that’s obvious from the tea parties. It was a real mixed crowd.

AnninCA on April 26, 2009 at 10:47 AM

Yes it was … I was out there and I saw many young kids who voted for Obama who wanted their votes back. Mandate? Pfft! That evaporated on like day 10.
