Naïveté

Conservatives shouldn’t get too excited about Obama’s numbers. He remains a likable figure, with personal polling remaining high.

Jimmie Carter was likable too, great personality, and we voted him out of office after one term.

Ugly girls are likeable too, but you dont tell anyone you had sex with them, you just ignore them and move on.

PEANUT BOY

Good one Jamie gumm!!! And we don’t even get a kiss!!!

In other words, he came in on a very high wave but with that came very high expectations, and I doubt this one will have a (competent) Republican Congress to bail him out like with Clinton.

What is so likable about Barak Obama? The fact that he can read well? Because that’s about the only thing he’s good at as far as I can see. He comes off as a cold, angry narcissist more often than not. I’m serious, what is it that so many of his political opponents find so likable?

Does he seriously have his feet on The Resolute Desk?

Yes, but he has no idea what that means.
No clue about the history of the desk;
No thought that it was a gift given in gratitude;
No care about the history that was made at the desk.

Time for another photo-op to show how cool he is…although they’ve used the kids with the ice-cream jaunt and they’ve done the burger grab twice now. What junk food group is left for them to exploit?

Pizza!! Oh, wait, did that one already. Tacos?

Fried clams, baby!

Damn, now I’m hungry.

The comments are brutal.

Michelle Dubois on June 22, 2009 at 8:06 PM

Thank You for that. America is not dead yet. We can fight this Obamathon. Those comments prove that people have had enough. Trolls are scared to even post against a barrage like that.

And that’s a good thing.

The honeymoon is definitely over

…….

With the people, perhaps.

The press, no.

The press will be the last to move against him; their own pride won’t let them see any flaws, until forced to do so.

Sort of like the husband who has entered a very bad marriage – he’ll defend, against all logic, his unfortunate choice.

But, when they turn, they’ll turn with a vengeance. It will be epic.

They need to get back to the basic platform of Republicanism of small government, low taxes and less regulation.

I think the Republican leadership is as trapped in the state media bubble as the Democrats are. So they believe that what the electorate wants is what the Democrats want…only slower and cheaper.

Of course the truth is that the mushy middle aren’t voting on actual policies anyway, and being Democrat-lite pisses off conservatives…as you note.

The media will hammer conservative candidates, it is true…but they roasted noted moderate McCain just as much a they would a conservative.

Conservatives shouldn’t get too excited about Obama’s numbers. He remains a likable figure, with personal polling remaining high.

I find it interesting that many of the liberals I know have begun to turn on Obama’s cronies, err cabinet, his policies, his allies in congress, etc. But they still love the man himself.

I think part of that is the fear of being called a racist*, but the other part is the state media’s worship of the man rubs off on liberals who are notable for following media inspired trends.

*Ah the irony that one can be called a racist for judging a man on the content of this character instead of the color of his skin.

The comments are brutal.

Michelle Dubois on June 22, 2009 at 8:06 PM

f-ing HILARIOUS comments

- The Cat

The comments are brutal.

We need someone who could care a less about the dem’s attacks and go out and make the mistakes front and center.

We have someone…..

Her name is Cuda

Just read the pdf that accompanies this new ABC “poll”, and the ABC “polling unit” refuses to disclose who comprised their polling sample.

That alone speaks volumes.

Del Dolemonte on June 22, 2009 at 7:18 PM

Update-ABC refuses to include that party ID, but the WaPo does.

In fact, their polling sample had 13% more Democrats than Republicans. Which is right in line with the recent C-BS “poll”.

He remains a likable figure…

EM

Sorry to pick at nits here, Ed, but he remains a lying POS, a coward, and the single most overrated intellect in the history of intellect. You should be more specific.

I got a survey from the National Republican Congressional Committee today and I filled it out and will mail it back. My contribution is zero, nada, nil, zippo and I told them it’s because they back a RINO like Crist, when they could back Mario Rubio, CONSERVATIVE LATINO, and please 2 groups instead of making them both mad at Republicans. No wonder they are in disarray. They need to get back to the basic platform of Republicanism of small government, low taxes and less regulation.

Seriously. Has anyone seen him in eons? I think we need someone else to be the face of the Republican party. Someone who is not afraid, knows their sh!t, and is articulate.

MICHAEL STEELE was at the dinner Friday night with the press. The one where Obama laughed at himself while the press panned his performance. No kidding! HE was at someone’s table. Go back and watch the video AP gave us to watch.

The GOP kept calling, I gave them an earful and told them to take me off the phone list! I felt so much better.

How low we stoop, and how we deserve our domestic thuggery.
