		<description>I like the lefties in here who don&#039;t think Obamas poll numbers are tanking. Have you watched PMSNBC lately???
They are appopletic, and in a complete panic about his polling.
MSNBC is becoming fun to watch  again.  hehe
Ripping Obama for only being a socialist instead of a full blown communist. Tons of fun.</description>

		<description>TGC. . .As gay individuals becoming increasingly visible on the right, we can help correct those prejudices still present in pockets of our movement.  Indeed, some groups, as one of our readers points out
(that would be ME), 
who continue to promote such prejudices are also cosponsoring the conference.  Let us hope the presence of GOProud alongside them at the conference helps wean them of their prejudice.

		<description>Love the delusional liberals, they lose the govenrors mansions in VA and NJ....NEW JERSEY and they say all is well!
61% of the country doesn&#039;t want Obamacare but they continue to try to pass it none the less. And they go whistling along....hehe
2010 can&#039;t come soon enough. Marginal Dems are dropping like flys choosing not to contest their seats. 
Glad the dummy Dems say.....the skies not falling.....</description>

		<description>The most important point about Obama&#039;s coalition is this: He&#039;s losing the Independents and the Obamacons, that he had conned.  Good.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Seriously, how do you imagine that one can win election with 53% of the vote, and now have 51-52% support and we can talk of broken coalitions?????&lt;/blockquote&gt;Oh ...... my ...... gosh ...... !!!! Tano really is a whiz at numbers.

Obombo got 53% of the vote. Now, Obombo eeks out a 52% approval rating in one snapshot poll and Tano runs around yelling: &quot;The coalition is holding, the coalition is holding!!!&quot;

The thing about the bunker mentality that always amazes me is how cheerfully people in the bunker accept their delusional state of mind and set forth, Bagdad Bob style, to spread the news.

Hey, folks, Obombo is doing just fine, thank you very much, he just got a B+ for his first year.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Where he promised spending cuts, he has delivered a more rapid growth in domestic spending than we had ever seen in the Bush era.&lt;/blockquote&gt;And, let us not forget, spending already grew enormously in the Bush era.

Before Obama, *Bush 43* was the President who ran destructive, irresponsible deficits by increasing -domestic, non-defense- spending more than any President in decades, and far more than needed.  Unbelievably, Obama has topped that.  By several times!  Bush pointed our economic &#039;bus&#039; toward the cliff; now Obama has stepped on the gas pedal.</description>

		<description>7: &quot;If insulation is “sexy”, will Michelle start wearing pink Owens Corning numbers?&quot;

Makes sense to me.  She causes irritation upon human contact and already looks like something that should be kept behind a wall or up in the attic.</description>

		<description>The One never had a real coalition. He had a cohort of people united around the vague words &quot;hope&quot; and &quot;change&quot; and under the assumption that they had the same definition to everyone.

Surprise -- hope and change are about as vague a pair of guiding principles as can be imagined.

Now what will The One reach for to paper over this problem? Is there anything that will do the job?</description>

		<description>CPAC update. . .
http://americansfortruth.com/news/liberty-counsel-may-lead-pullout-of-cpac-if-homosexual-group-goproud-remains-as-co-sponsor.html

TAKE ACTION: Call or write CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) Chairman David Keene of the American Conservative Union (703-836-8602, ext. 19) and urge him to keep social liberals from corrupting CPAC’s conservative message. Urge Keene to drop GOProud as a CPAC co-sponsor because GOProud supports the same radical homosexualist agenda as other GLBT organizations — which is corrupting children and tearing apart America’s moral fiber.</description>

		<description>I think half the reason Obama&#039;s approval has dropped is because he promised the moon to two opposing factions (there really isn&#039;t a workable compromise between people who want to spend more and people who want to spend less) and now can&#039;t deliver.

I do think some people who voted for Obama fully expected him to be unable to deliver, but happily voted anyway because he wasn&#039;t Bush and didn&#039;t have an R by his name.  Some of those Obama will keep, but the independents in the electorate, which is a growing percentage of voters, won&#039;t remain loyal and the excuses will only be accepted for so long.</description>

		<description>I have a simpler idea of why he is losing support. He doesn&#039;t seem to know what he is doing. He leaves the spending to Pelosi and Reid and they go hog wild. He talks about vetos and they just spend more. He expects people to trust the government yet by his action we keep getting reasons why we shouldn&#039;t. He campaigned on talking with our enemies rather than fighting, and he can&#039;t even work with Republicans. 

To make it worst he is obviously an ego maniac who only seems to be able to talk about himself.</description>

		<description>Obama&#039;s messes are now to be labelled &quot;stories we tell ourselves&quot;?

My, what a robust argument against your thesis.

The high hopes those who voted for him had for Obama had no foundation. That&#039;s why even the left feels free to satirize him. Though he&#039;s so far out there sometimes that satire can&#039;t cover it and one is forced to look away in embarrassment for his gaffes and mis-steps.

Obama is plagued with an obvious lack of center to his being. Lacking this gravitas, he has no identity, and he is only sure of what he doesn&#039;t like or want. This may account for his hubris in being willing to give himself a B+ for his first year in office even as the electorate turns more conservative than it has ever been. 

The guy is still in school, and watching carefully to make sure he&#039;s the coolest one on campus. 

A tool? Probably. A fool? Surely.

2011 will bring reality home to DC again. It will make for an interesting morality play. The implosions and alarums will be mostly off-stage but we&#039;ll be able to see the effects.

Shakespeare would&#039;ve loved this guy.</description>

<p>My, what a robust argument against your thesis.</p>
<p>The high hopes those who voted for him had for Obama had no foundation. That&#8217;s why even the left feels free to satirize him. Though he&#8217;s so far out there sometimes that satire can&#8217;t cover it and one is forced to look away in embarrassment for his gaffes and mis-steps.</p>
<p>Obama is plagued with an obvious lack of center to his being. Lacking this gravitas, he has no identity, and he is only sure of what he doesn&#8217;t like or want. This may account for his hubris in being willing to give himself a B+ for his first year in office even as the electorate turns more conservative than it has ever been. </p>
<p>The guy is still in school, and watching carefully to make sure he&#8217;s the coolest one on campus. </p>
<p>A tool? Probably. A fool? Surely.</p>
<p>2011 will bring reality home to DC again. It will make for an interesting morality play. The implosions and alarums will be mostly off-stage but we&#8217;ll be able to see the effects.</p>
<p>Shakespeare would&#8217;ve loved this guy.</p>
