How prescient she was in the 2008 presidential campaign:
(H/t Our reader, Formerly Left-Leaning Lesbian.)
Yesterday, our reader Sebastian Shaw commented to my post suggesting that Obama in sulking in his own partisan corner and wait for Republicans to solve the debt crisis, suggesting the Democrat . . .
. . . is paralyzed because he wants to vote “present” & wait to see where the wind blows; he will then try to get in front of it & pretend he was for it all along. This is Obama’s pattern. Obama isn’t a leader. He’s a Cult of Personality.
Seems Obama just thought that by virtue of his first-class demeanor, that thrill going up people’s legs because of the perfect crease in his own pants leg, he could just solve the nation’s problems by being there. Does seem Hillary figured him out long before his failure in the debt negotiations.
Noted the same thing over at my site earlier today — and note that if the Left is going to insist that there is a “transitive property of terrorism” like they have been proposing, that it will ultimately mean linking this sick freak to the Unabomber to Al Gore to the mainstream Left — and that ultimately the “blamers” will have to blame themselves for the Norway Horror.
Sorry about that — it’s what i get for having too many open windows!
I don’t think so. I can see where Obama has done so, in the past. But on this debt limit thingy, he isn’t voting present; he has taken a definite stand, for higher taxes and a permanently larger government. See Eric Olsen’s post just newer than this one.
Speaker Boehner is moving ahead without Obama because he’s part of the problem; the Democrats might fold very soon:

All of them is playing chicken. Who will blink first? Given Obama’s history, he will if you give him enough time to panic. Thus far, the Republicans have not caved, but we’ll see…
