Well, let's see.

According to O'Bomber, he's a better speechwriter than his speechwriters.

According to O'Bomber, he knows more about policies on any particular issue than his policy directors.

According to O'Bomber, he's a better political director than his political director.

According to O'Bomber, he's an awesome legend in his own mind.

So, who's telling O'Bomber how awesome he is?

Obama's Problem Isn't Valerie Jarrett
11/10/2014
IBD Editorial

Politics: Why is it that, after six years in office, the press has just become interested in Valerie Jarrett — President Obama's incredibly powerful, influential and little noted adviser?

The New Republic prefaces an article on Jarrett by saying that "no one has understood Valerie Jarrett's role, until now." Given the buzz it generated, that might seem true. It isn't.

Edward Klein described Jarrett's unusually powerful role in his 2012 book on Obama, "The Amateur," in which Obama admitted that he "absolutely" ran all his decisions past her.

In Richard Miniter's 2012 book, "Leading From Behind," he reported that Obama twice canceled the mission to kill Osama bin Laden on Jarrett's urging.

In an editorial that year, we called Jarrett "Obama's Rasputin."

Even her unfathomably sycophantic relationship with Obama isn't a revelation.

She told Obama biographer David Remnick in 2010 that her boss "knows exactly how smart he is" and "has never really been challenged intellectually," and how he is "too talented to do what ordinary people do."

The New Republic does add a nauseating new example to the pile, relaying a story about how Jarrett turned to Obama at the end of his 2012 re-election campaign and, in all seriousness, said, "Mr. President, I don't understand how you're not getting 85% of the vote."

Perhaps it's because Obama's failings as president are now so undeniable that the press has finally decided to take a look at Jarrett as a possible factor. But she isn't the problem. It's the fact Obama feels the overwhelming need to have her at his side that's so troubling.

It's said that when a Roman general made a triumphant return, a servant would, to keep him grounded, whisper into his ear that all glory is fleeting. As Obama surveys the wreckage of his presidency, he has Valerie Jarrett there to tell him how awesome he is.

Well, let's see how "Awesome" the Marxist Messiah O'Bomber is.

He's managed to get demoscat as$es kicked up between their eyebrows on issue after issue.

A good argument could be made that O'Bomber is a Republican Conservative plant in the Socialist demoscat party. It may be a generation...or 2 before America ever again trusts a "big government Socialist" at the reins of Government in the United States.

Obama Leads Democrats Back to the Wilderness
By Geoffrey P. Hunt

For all of the hysteria leading to President Obama’s immigration executive order, it turned out to be much ado about little. Except that Obama just dispersed the remaining asset so desperately needed by the Democrats in 2016, perhaps beyond.

Of course the hysteria was justified when reckoning Obama’s constitutional by-pass. Yet at the same time overwrought, when his action is seen as mere feather-puffing exhibitionism in his habitual pattern of statutory abuse throughout his entire presidency.

Obama’s willful refusal to enforce boarder security, five years pre-dating this EO, deliberately nullifying our nation’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, is ground enough for Republicans to formally charge the president with failing to uphold the Constitution. What’s new this time around?

Nothing in this EO affects the reality on the ground. More fouette than grand jete, and the timing for its narrow spin gives Republicans ample time for a proper grand pas....

Obama’s EO is tepid impotent dishwater, hardly worth interrupting the Republicans’ early trek over the river and through the woods to Grandma’s house for Thanksgiving. Jumping up and down in protest might burn off a few stuffing and apple tart calories; but don’t tear an ACL doing it.

Border security couldn’t get much worse, absent constructing multiple EZpass fast lanes. Genuine deportations (as opposed to turning back people at the border) are already laughably low as interior enforcement actions are fewer than arrests from border patrol interdictions -- as rare as even they seem to be -- barely exceeding the number of tailgaters at a couple of SEC college football games this past Saturday.

And as we see from the DOJ prioritization of targeting illegals for deportation, Obama’s decree merely restates his status quo de facto amnesty style pardon of drug dealers, sex abusers, gun offenders, and drunk drivers.

They weren’t getting deported before now anyhow…as the Center for Immigration Studies reported a year ago:

•ICE is carrying a case load of 1.8 million aliens who are either in removal proceedings or have already been ordered removed. Less than two percent are in detention, which is the only proven way to ensure departure.
•As of the end of July 2013 there were 872,000 aliens – nearly half of ICE’s total docket – who had been ordered removed but who had not left the country.
•The State Department continues to issue tens of thousands of visas annually to citizens of countries that refuse to take back their countrymen who are ordered removed from the United States. Many of these are violent criminals.

And who from the ranks of currently undocumented aliens for more than five years would register for a temporary deportation stay, subject to revocation anytime, with dim prospects of gaining permanent legal status?

Moreover this EO is a caustic brush-off to those 6 million law abiding would-be immigrants, and those already here legally awaiting their turn in the naturalization process.

Most egregiously Obama has disowned his most loyal patrons, the urban poor -- overwhelmingly disenfranchised black Americans -- who counted on Obama to restore what now are never-to-be resurgent economic opportunities freeing them from crippling dependency on government largess that consigns generations to the purgatory of subsistence poverty and prolonged despair.

Obama delivered little incremental value, only vacant gestures, to those 4 million plus border jumpers, just a few days ago counted as probable Democrat voters. He had one chance to deliver an incendiary provocation to Republicans while actually granting citizenship to millions, but did neither.

Republicans are now poised to trump, by simply accelerating the naturalization process for those legal aliens awaiting their turn, while promising a Dwight Eisenhower brand of border security and enforcement under a Republican president. (How Eisenhower Solved Illegal Border Crossings From Mexico; Operation Wetback)

And so, immigration, the last remaining election talking point for Democrats, joins Obama’s unilateral disarmament, alongside “no boots on the ground.”

In the world of distressed financial assets and insolvency proceedings, a special competency accretes to people who can organize an orderly liquidation. Despite Barack Obama’s incompetence nearly everywhere else, he has been a master at dispersing Democrats’ electoral assets.

The Democrats’ tactical brilliance, at least since Bill Clinton, has been to shape their moralizing self- approbations into election issues. Abortion, gay marriage, women’s oppression, overseas ground wars accompanied by claims of torture and unjust internment, universal health care, income inequality, environmental justice, and immigration reform topped the list. These issues delivered votes because they appealed to the vulnerable, convinced that the progressive elites would erase their pain; and the Democrats skillfully avoided resolving these issues, successfully recycling them every two and four years.

Yet under Obama, these issues have either been settled, or he has forfeited the moral high ground through incompetence, wholesale loss of trust, backfired policy moves, or duplicity finally outrunning the good will of voters who have realized the remaining issues are either phony or will never be resolved by Democrats.

Gay marriage, despite its intellectual dishonesty, is a resolved socio-civil accommodation.

Infrastructure is talk but no action, for anything other than discredited wind turbines and failed green energy boondoggles. Elizabeth Warren would like to say, “We built infrastructure”. But what exactly? When is the last time the federal government built anything, or enabled something to be built except for a guided missile cruiser or F-18 fighter jet? Killing the Keystone XL Pipeline, denying jobs while handing out an ideological victory to environmental lobbyists, along with spending nearly a trillion for the 2009 Stimulus that achieved nothing except saving federal union jobs for two years, has discredited any Dem claims to the infrastructure promises.

Obamacare dysfunction and meager results, while dismantling the health care system, imposing taxes, forcing new mandates, and driving higher costs enabled through deliberate deceptions and outright lying, has destroyed trust in government and sullied whatever noble intentions might accompany the dream of universal health care.

Obama’s unilateral military disarmament, withdrawal from global leadership, fecklessness in prosecuting terrorists, cowering before thugs and dictators as they invade sovereign territories, forfeiting hard won positions in Iraq and Afghanistan, lying about an embassy and consulate security catastrophe, exchanging terrorists for a US Army deserter -- all national security asset giveaways restoring the Democrats’ reputation that they are deliberately soft-headed and cannot be trusted.

Drone warfare, indiscriminant battlefield killings foreclosing acquisition of live intelligence assets, combined with NSA spying on Americans, has denied the Democrats any moral authority in defining or managing a just war, and diluted their claim to be protectors of civil liberties.

Environmental justice means ideological giveaways to big donor progressives while enacting job-killing regulations, raising electric power prices, and rationing public water supplies for ordinary Americans.

Financial regulation and Federal Reserve policies that have choked community banks, and derailed middle America prosperity, joined by near-zero interest rates needlessly depriving 60 million seniors of perhaps $150 billion of retirement income annually.

Income inequality has proven to be a phony issue as the federal government rakes in record tax receipts while the so-called top income earn 1% but pay 24% of all taxes with a 33% effective rate; the top 20% pay 60% of all taxes; the middle class pay less than 10% of all taxes with effective rates 1/3 of the 1%. Another Elizabeth Warren fizzle.

War on women and racism, thoroughly debunked by resounding defeats of US Senate incumbents Kay Hagan (NC) and Mark Udall (CO) with their interminable flogging of contraception and Planned Parenthood issues, and the resounding elections of Joni Ernst (I),and of Tim Scott (SC), the first black in South Carolina elected to federal office since Reconstruction.

Obama’s race baiting transforming white guilt into seething contempt for a man and a party that promised racial healing, instead has provoked racial animus, and salted the promised fields of harmony with divisiveness and distrust.

So, what remains of the Democrat party election issues? Not much. Certainly neither jobs nor economic growth, for which Democrats have nothing to say but remain the most vital unresolved issues on the minds of voters, delivering Republican majorities across the country, from the US Senate, to governorships, to state houses.

Obama carelessly squandered all of the electoral issues, driving away voters -- betrayed black Americans, dispirited young people, alienated independents, reenergized seniors realigned with conservatives, dismissed legal immigrants awaiting naturalization, and double crossed illegal migrants.

Joe Lieberman, former US Senator, runner-up 2000 presidential aspirant and Al Gore’s failed VP running mate, complained in 2003 that the Democrats’ obsession with big government, and anti-war policies would “send us Democrats to the political wilderness for a long time”

Barack Obama in 2008 gave Dems a reprieve from that consignment. But only a brief respite, a fleeting glimpse through the thick underbrush. Obama has led the Democrats back to the wilderness, for which this time there may be no escape from its claustrophobic canopy.

From email

One 82-year-old lady loves Obama and she may have a very good point. She says that Obama is amazing, and is rebuilding the American dream! She gives us an entirely new slant on the "amazing" job Obama is doing, and she says that she will thank God for Obama. Keep reading for her additional comments and an explanation. When discussing Obama, she says:

1. Obama destroyed the Clinton Political Machine, driving a stake through the heart of Hillary's presidential aspirations - something no Republican was ever able to do.

2. Obama killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - no more Kennedys trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home.

3. Obama is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes! Dennis Moore had never lost a race. Evan Bayh had never lost a race. Byron Dorgan had never lost a race. Harry Reid - soon to be GONE! These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed. By the end of 2014, dozens more will be gone. Just think, in December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles, they had picked up 14 Senate seats and 52 House seats. The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party. However, in just one year, Obama put a stop to all of this and gave the House and the Senate - back to the Republicans.

4. Obama has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Sadly, every generation seems to need to re-learn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. Obama is bringing home the lesson very well: Liberals tax, borrow and spend. Liberals won't bring themselves to protect America. Liberals want to take over the economy. Liberals think they know what is best for everyone. Liberals are not happy until they are running YOUR life.

5. Obama has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year, he has rejuvenated the Conservative Movement and brought out to the streets millions of freedom loving Americans. Name one other time when you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America!

6. Obama, with his "amazing leadership," has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has seen. Law abiding citizens have rallied and have provided a "stimulus" to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded, or moved off-shore.

7. In all honesty, one year ago I was more afraid than I have been in my life. Not afraid of the economy, but afraid of the direction our country was going. I thought, Americans have forgotten what this country is all about. My neighbors and friends, even strangers, have proved to me that my lack of confidence in the greatness and wisdom of the American people has been flat wrong.

8. When the American people wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them! Barack Obama has served to wake up these great Americans! Again, I want to say: "Thank you, Barack Obama!" After all, this is exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed!!

9. He made Jimmy Carter happy since Jimmy is no longer the worst president we've ever had.

No, that wasnt it. Unfortunately that thread (H&H) is way too long and depressing to wade through to quote you.

The Repubs won seats because most of the country was too fed up to vote at all, and because the Dems who lost showed their total lack of b*lls and willingness to betray everything they and Obama stood for in order to get votes...guess what, nobody bought the damaged goods.

So the only people who voted were the riled up Repubs and seriously committed - a third of the voting public - and a little more than HALF of that third voted Republican. Some landslide "mandate" rout.

Meanwhile, Obama has nothing to lose but his legacy and respect at this point..unless he or his family have been threatened seriously which is always possible...and his ratings are going up not down. Which confirms MY analysis of why the midterms went the way they did, not yours

The country was fed up with what six years of a failed Socialist agenda failed to accomplish. The Millenials who put him in office twice have become disenchanted.

Maybe that is how you think. .. just as many people are disappointed that the progressive agenda wasnt pushed enough. But mostly it's pretty obvious that People voted for obama but considered voting for congress a waste of time. The Socialist agenda you are so hung up on really hasn't come to pass

Usual suspects and O'Bomber Kool-Aid drinkers are simply delusional to suggest Americans didn't vote against the Marxist Messiah's policies in 2010 and 2014.

Elections which saw O'Bomber and his Socialist demoscats lose the US House in 2010 and the US Senate last November. With every Socialist demoscat official and support group hectoring and lecturing O'Bomber's Kool-Aid drinkers to get out and vote, they decided they'd had enough O'Bomber Kool-Aid and either stayed home on election day...or voted for a Republican. This last election wasn't even close and it was a referendum on the idiotic policies of the Marxist Messiah, O'Bomber.

If Obama’s a socialist, he’s really bad at it

12/29/14 08:35 AM

By Steve Benen

The Dow Jones Industrial Average topped the 18,000 mark for the first time in its history last week, prompting Matt O’Brien to reminisce about “the worst op-ed in history.”

    On March 6, 2009, former George W. Bush adviser Michael Boskin offered whatever the opposite of a prophecy is when he said that “Obama’s Radicalism Is Killing the Dow.”

    Now let’s set the scene. Obama had been in office for less than two months at that point, and in that time, stocks had admittedly fallen a lot as markets worried that the big bank bailout known as TARP wouldn’t actually be enough to save the banks. It got so bad that Citigroup briefly became a penny stock.

    Boskin, though, didn’t think that this once-in-three-generations financial crisis was to blame for the market meltdown. Instead, he blamed it on Obama for … talking about raising taxes?

Yep. On the day President Obama was inaugurated, the market closed at 7,949.09. By mid-March 2009 with the economy still spiraling, the Dow sunk even lower, shedding another 1,500 points.

And it was at this point that Boskin, the chair of George W. Bush’s Council of Economic Advisers, decided to blame President Obama’s agenda for Wall Street’s woes. His timing was atrocious – soon after Boskin’s op-ed was published, the market started to recover, and Wall Street gains under the Obama presidency have been extraordinary.

As E.J. Dionne Jr. joked this morning, “It’s odd that so many continue to see Obama as a radical and a socialist even as the Dow hits record levels and the wealthy continue to do very nicely. If he is a socialist, he is surely the most incompetent practitioner in the history of Marxism.”

The point, of course, is not to snicker at a misguided Wall Street Journal op-ed several years later. Rather, there’s a larger salience to all of this.

Indeed, though it’s easy to forget, in early 2009, a wide variety of Republicans eagerly told the public that the Democratic White House should be blamed for falling stock prices.

As we talked about a couple of years ago, Karl Rove and Lou Dobbs made the same case. So did Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Fred Barnes. For a short while, it was one of Mitt Romney’s favorite talking points, too. Even John Boehner got in on the larger attack.

Each of them were spectacularly wrong, and as best as I can tell, none of these figures have made any effort to explain their mistake.

But the larger point is the “heads I win, tails you lose” dynamic, which is far too common. When gas prices are high, Republicans insist President Obama is to blame; when gas prices are low, Republicans change the subject. When job creation is weak, the GOP is desperate to point the finger at the White House; when job creation is strong, the GOP again focuses its attention elsewhere.

To be sure, looking at the Dow Jones as a reliable metric of economic health is a mistake – there are far more important measurements – and suggesting that the president is solely responsible for the direction of market indexes is wrong.

That said, a little consistency would be nice. Conservatives shouldn’t say a falling stock market in early 2009 is proof that Obama’s agenda is a dangerous failure, and then ignore a rising stock market as irrelevant.

Or put another way, maybe Republicans can consider the value of forethought when going after Obama: stop picking metrics for presidential success that invariably make Obama look better. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/if-obamas-socialist-hes-really-bad-it

I note that some people diss Obama on THIS page but on others cite him as an example of LEADERSHIP. And that same people consider receiving criticism a sign of standing for something. And same people also repeatedly diss Obama for not being honest.

The Progressives of this country didn't see many progressive Dems to vote for and think Obama didn't go far enough. So I guess you could say they voted FOR policies no one was offering by staying home.

And they STILL came out to vote for the President. Hmmm. I'd say they voted to let the Republicans expose just how much they are willing to rob the poor and needy to please the big guys who are making more than ever.

Meanwhile here on the "Left coast" the employment figures look better than most anywhere in the country.

And the NO BIG GOV states rely more on the Federal handouts than anyone else.

Go figure.
