Too busy to meet with Israel, but never too busy to pander to the Arab world.
On 911.
And yet, he’s holding his own in the polls.
Because we’re done.

Because we’re done.
Or because the polls are rigged. Obama thinks that he and his Islamist friends can get away with insulting the United States on this solemn day. I think it’s another crack in the dam, and when this baby bursts, the Chicago mob won’t know what hit ’em.
At least one of those polls is rather skewed.
But yes, were this still a sane country, Obama would be facing a McGovern-like annihilation at the polls this November.
I still think “would be facing” is “is facing”. He’s toast and has been for a long time.
Terrorist Who Killed Americans One Month Before 9/11 Not Sought by U.S. After 2011 Release
From your lips to God’s ears, sdferr.
It’s a simple thing to think of the most salient political events since 2008: namely, the rise of the Tea Parties, the 2010 elections blowout, and the Wisconsin rebuff of the political left. There’s a powerful trend there.
The Arabs sent a few messages too: US Official Killed In Libya Prophet Protest
sdferr is right. Obama is going to be lucky to carry the Blue states.
As per the polls: skewed. Over-sampled Ds by as many as +5-6. Over-sampled wimmin in Ohio by +9, making them appear to be >61% of the population when they are slightly less than 52% .
Diogenes would look a long way for an honest pollster.
There’s a powerful trend there.
chick-fil-a
Our embassies, not so much.
– Axelrod can wear out the WH phone lines with xall from now til ovenber to the poodle poolsters and it won’t save the Wonces half white ass.
– Even Rassmusen is quietly backing away from the propagandist bullshit ‘bounce’. You don’t want to fail the fearless leader, but if you look too foolish you might not be around much longer if the checks from Soros run out.
– The next drop should come in a few days, and this one will take Obama downward in the 40-42% region if the trends hold. With two more economic reports yet to come Obana could be down in the 30’s by debate time. Anything short of Romney taking a crap on stage and jug ears gets a Hawaii vacation.
“chick-fil-a”
Yes, yes, yes. And these sorts of things are not done, being followed by the spontaneous empty chair displays, and others to come, I don’t doubt.
Yet Sen. Mike Lee dodges Akin in Missouri. Shit.
US Official Killed In Libya Prophet Protest
BBH, I about fell out of my chair watching FNS this weekend. During the panel discussion, Juan Williams laughed in Brit Hume’s face for daring to express his opinion that the Wonce’s debating skills were sub-par.
“Barrack Obama?! Barrack Obama?!” as if the incantation of the idiot’s name is enough to make him the winner. Brit stuck to his guns and insisted that Romney was going to wax the floor with him. Well, Brit is much better bred than I, so he didn’t say that exactly. He did chuckle at Juan though.
Close enough. Heh.
The polls are rigged and we are done.
How was Neville Chamberlain polling in the spring of ’38?

So he’s not just NEO-Carter with Nixon’s bureaucratic grudges, he’s $#@$ing DOUBLE Carter…so FAR.
– I’m waiting for Lewis to say something like “Emanuel, whats the matter with you fool….We’re baby sitters, not teachers.”
– One of the major sticking points in the negotiations is focused on evauations that are based on student performance, and of course the Union is opposed because after all, what the hell do the taxpayers expect, that kids actually, you know, learn something?
– Chicago teachers Union to Jug ears: ‘fuck you’.
– He seems to be getting a lot of that lately.
“Emanuel, whats the matter with you fool….We’re baby sitters, not teachers.”
So, who really, really needs the union to fight like hell for bad workers? The bad workers do, of course.
And who then provides the unions with their most fervent shock troops? The bad workers– because they are under small illusion about their employability without a union fighting to keep them in their jobs, despite their incompetence.
This is why the unions are so against evaluations and performance review — while there are good teachers in the union, the good teachers are not the real clients of the union.
The real clients of the union are the bad teachers.

I agree we are done in this particular match and suspect we have to go full bore liberal before all come to their senses…again.
I respectfully disagree with many here: I think POTUS wins handily. Not Bush v Dukakis, perhaps a marginally closer 2008.
Could well be wrong, and have been on a number of things, but it’s my opinion.
“President Obama’s Campaign Trashes ‘2016: Obama’s America'”
“…..the movie the White House doesn’t want you to see.”
– Movie goers to Jug ears, ‘fuck you’.
– The great uniter-in-Choom.
Russian ships displayed at DNC tribute to vets
Roddy, he just threw the Jews under the bus—again. Say good-bye to Florida.
– RB, the Left don’t care for Obama either, the hardcore that is. They don’t think hes nearly radical enough. If they had a more extreme candidate jug ears would be history in a heart beat. In ’08 Obama had the youth vote, and the social media fad hero ‘daddy issues’ votes. This time they’re mostely ambivalent.
– If the campaign can’t get a huge rally going, they’re toast.
I think POTUS wins handily.
embassys burning, gas at $3.99/gal, unemployment at 10%, debt at $16 tril yea sure thing
– The Dems have done a hurclean effort, deflecting from Obama’s disasterous rein. But at the end of the day there are simply too many families struggling just to survive, and that won’t go away.
Real unemploymnet is 19%, sayeth Mort Zuckerman. I think if the editor of US News and World Report says it’s over, it’s over.
what we need is a “wash dc” depression
But will Romney strip the bark off of this punk?
Look at the tenor of the ads he aimed at Santorum, et al back at the beginning of the race.
Push comes to shove, Romney is going to steamroll the punk. Hell, the ads write themselves, all the way back to “Office of the President Elect” fer Pete’s Sake.
No. The news is what we’re told it is. And this doesn’t go well with the “Obama as the strong foreign policy President” meme that’s going around. ERGO, it doesn’t exist.
But will Romney strip the bark off of this punk?
if i had a super pac i’d be running ads questioning baracky’s ct. ss no. in ct.
– Actually it is getting covered, but in a way that makes it seem smallish and remarkably unimportant.
– Because…..Boooooosh
Jeff, Hillary just announced that one official and another American were killed in Benghazi.
Well, this is as good a place as any to start, I suppose.
Start. I said “start.”
“Start. I said “start.””
Obama’s plan to use national security as a campaign cudgel
NR, Leigh:
I might be wrong and can’t argue with the facts you cite, but it feels different to me.
Re: Jews. Dems, from time-to-time, screw with them. This is one of those times. They WILL vote GOP in good numbers, but only locally (Giuliani in ’93.) They are not voting for Romney and not staying home either.
If JG wasn’t such a heretic, I’d say we should ask him.
We’ve just seen Obama hided on account of the missing Jerusalem and God language in the Democrat platform — and their fumbling reverse of course. So too here, it looks like the White House has miscalculated again and is scrambling to repair their error. But we’ll see how it goes. I don’t doubt there is pressure being applied from interested parties who may or may not be significant campaign contributors.
The oldster retired Jews in Florida are the ones who will vote for Romney. Not the ultra-rich in Palm Beach, but the Villages crowd. That’s why I say it (Florida) goes to Romney. Too many of them remember Nasser and the bad old days of the Six Day War.
The Mirror (The Twilight Zone)
but it feels different to me.
me too but a different vibe
My wife says to me all the time that, “y’know, he’s gonna win again and what’cha gonna do when he does?’
And I say, “No way, no fucking way. Americans won’t do it.”
But, I don’t really believe my words.
So, I really don’t know what to do. Neither gin nor scotch nor bourbon will see me through.
I’m looking for the MAN! Lou Reed!
“They WILL vote GOP in good numbers, but only locally (Giuliani in ’93.) They are not voting for Romney and not staying home either. ”
Obama has a 46-44 percent lead over Romney in the TIPP poll. That means Obama is suffering from a decline in support throughout the electorate from his 2008 victory when he won 53 percent of the vote. But the president’s loss of approximately 25 percent of Jewish voters this year is not matched by a similar decline in any other demographic group. [snip]

As Prager said, sadly, on his show today, many American Jews are more invested in their Leftist ideology than they are in being Jews and supporting Israel.
It’s the ethnic v religious Jews. And for many ‘atheist Jews’ it’s about being accepted by the cultural elite and not being looked down upon as one of those other Jews who keep the Sabbath, High holy days & kosher.
the bad old days of the Six Day War.
Like the assassination of RFK … both were on my birthday.
Kind of hard for me to forget either.
– The WH knows that once again, they’ve jumped the shark, trying as the Left alwats does, to have it both ways. I hope the fin cuts deep.
Obama, unlike Santorum, is a good man who’s in over his head.
Mitt Romney murders sick women while Jack [stet] Ryan murders old women.

Le Palin.
This is one of those times where I’m not sure how to pretend that both parties are basically the same.
Any tips? Anyone?
…cause sometimes it’s pretty easy and true.
Yet, here we are. Once again. As always.
Insofar as they’s both got gore dripping from their zombie-vampire imperialist gobs bh, they’re the same . . . only the one’s got American and allied gore and the other ‘s got enemy alien gore, more or less.
This is one of those times where I’m not sure how to pretend that both parties are basically the same.
hi karl- “the ‘white’ !!11!! board loser -rovester
Ehhh, I mean it a bit more seriously.
Oh, well seriously I got nothin’.
– We once had parties of reasonably smart politicians, and power blocs who supported them, now we only have the power blocs,
– When the Progs say the West has no culture, they’re projecting that they have none. They’re the counter-culture, or the anti-culture. Anything that runs against the grain of decent society they’ll support.
– Evolution gone wild. What you get when your world view comes out of a can of Dew in your mom’s basement, and whatever you read on twitter.
On the anniversary of 9/11 we can act as if Obama is a “good enough” actor or we won’t.
He’s not. Any equivalency between a guy who toasted Rashid Khalidi and a guy blowing strangers under an off ramp would already be a bit obnoxious. Obama is worse.
“Obama is worse.”
Plainly, which is simply due to the conservatives’ (kneejerk?) inability to pretend an enemy is a friend. That’s a too sophisticated art by far for knuckledraggers such as ourselves.
Palin: “If he doesn’t have a “big stick” to carry, maybe it’s time for him to grow one.”
Official administration response in 3.. 2.. 1..
I mean, if the Eastwood empty chair bit got a response, I don’t see how a particularly-hated white chick mocking the Presidential Weenie is going to get a pass.
Holy mackerel, that’s gonna leave a mark.
We’ve got to wonder what the crap has taken them so long to mount this inquiry. The belatedness alone is disgraceful.
For when liquor just won’t cut it
Yeah, life is risk.
We’ve got to wonder what the crap has taken them so long to mount this inquiry.
Romney picked a running mate who would very likely hardingesquely kneecap a president who tried this particular kind of crap?

No idea.
“Arab Spring“. Yes, this is working out well in’it?
Bary Rubin: Egypt Kicks Sand in Obama’s Face; Obama Gives Money, Arms, and Apologies
No. The news is what we’re told it is. And this doesn’t go well with the “Obama as the strong foreign policy President” meme that’s going around. ERGO, it doesn’t exist.
It’s starting to burble up now–a dead Ambassador being dragged through the streets of Benghazi is too much even for his fans to ignore.
But, yes, coverage generally follows the “Is it good or bad for Obama?” template.
I’ve taken to thinking of the MSM as a cluster of fanzines/cable access fanboi shows with better printing and production values. It makes a lot more sense of the reporting priorities and style.
Ah, what the heck, more Barry Rubin, because it’s good: Barack Obama Is a Dangerous Leftist of a New Kind, not a Communist, Muslim, Marxist, or Socialist
Barack Obama Is a Dangerous Leftist of a New Kind
Oh, great. Because antibiotic-resistant staph wasn’t enough.
Could we say the old type leftists at least attempted to tell the truth to themselves while lying to the people they wished to subjugate, whereas the new post modernist leftists don’t even bother to attempt even that, nor to consider the consequences when the target population catches up with their lies?
Romney’s determination is marginally reassuring. The presses’ attempted attacks on Romney, offering shielding for Obama is disgraceful if only because Obama is disgraceful.
Not sure about that, sdferr – the old school left contained lying crapbags who knew they were lying (e.g. Walter Duranty) and starry eyed true believers (e.g. Joseph E. Davies) probably in equal measure. I’m assuming the modern left are equally distributed between the pathological and the deranged.
But all SW? Seriously. I mean, sure we can find examples of this or that amongst the fools of an age. But today there doesn’t seem to be a single honest thinker among them, but a uniform chant that there simply is no truth to be had, and behavior in conformity with that ridiculous notion.
I listen to and read a lot of the Trots and their ilk, sdferr, and really get the feeling that the rank and file hard left actually believe the crap they spew. The leaders, as in leaders of all movements/ideologies, are usually in it for the cushy gig/power. As such they are not the thinkers you refer to, but their intellectual heroes (e.g. Chomsky) are such blatant frauds, I see where you are coming from.
Obama thanks Libyan officials for taking Chris Stevens’ body to the hospital, while we witness photographs of a Libyan mob dragging the man’s corpse through the street.
