From Korea to Kokomo: Today's Obama News or a Glimpse of 2012?

The lamest duck yet

Happy Thanksgiving Walter, Please consider the theory of Occam's Razor. The simplest explaintaion ,all things being equal is usually ,the correct one. It is the pure and simple lack of expertise and experience in the private sector that has gotten President Obama and his administration is this miasma. The skills from running and managing private sector concerns and the instincts that come with it would have helped the President make better decisions. The Congress' forced marched by the soon to be ex speaker Pelosi only made the situation worse. Re-enforced by the still leader Reid in the Senate. The public for all their faults and misplaced criticism understand situations when they are allowed to play out, hence the mid term results ,even with the Tea Party pulling the conversation further to the right. The qualification that will be demanded for at least the next decade from the public for anyone seeking higher office will be,"What experience in the real world to you have...you better have run SOMETHING, or don't bother. Here is one thing that pundits ,economists and government wonks have not factored into their equations....as factories, companies and corporation close or relocate, these former employees are now on their own and living in the world of competition, if they hope to regain the American dream. These people KNOW the value of EVERY penny . And they quickly learn that this Federal government doesn't. This makes people conservative (at least fiscally)overnight, the social part may take a while. This by it's very nature forces individuals to think differently than if they still worked, say for a union or government....NOW, EVERY decision matters, every penny matters. You just can't watch the clock and mark off the days on a calendar until your 3 week vacation(counting sick days). Liberals need to understand THESE people WILL NEVER BE DEMOCRATIC OR LIBERAL. If this administration plans on another 4 year ride on the public teat, I'd be foregoing the misplaced notions of "Hope you can believe in" and replace it with "Hope to find somebody that knows what they are doing" and fast.......but truthfully, it's not going to happen with this crew ..they are too far removed from the mainstream and main street. There are NO skills where it counts ,other than reading prepared speeches. The public has long ago seen through this and no amount of salve and spin will undo the Carter like sense of a lingering "misery index"....This type of administration is incapable of true leadership and especially at this time and in the dangerous world.

Once again it's all about him. He should be back in DC governing..Oh thats to hard so he goes to Chrysler where he saved jobs and the people will give him his love..the feel good love he needs cause he has'nt been feeling it from the american peopl.. All about him not the people or the country...Why dont you go visit some wounded troops instaed of the union workeers...

This is supposed to be a goverment that is BY and FOR the people. The democrats have forgotten that. It's about what the majority wants, not what the few can shove down our throats. The writer is correct to say that todays events probally won't have an effect on 2012 elections. Thats because something else will arise to complicate matters. Do the research...today's motto is what can the goverment do for me. JFK said just the opposite.

Why would anyone suggest that betting against a second term for Barack Obama is like betting against another term for Julius Caesar? Caesar, of course, was assassinated. An alternative opening should be considered that doesn't raise the specter of a Presidential assassination.
