5 The IPAB thing should be the core Republican talking point.

Something like:

"Obama is claiming Ryan is planning to decimate Medicare - while he's already staked it and is watching it bleed dry. The IPAB waiver is a giant bandaid to allow the gullible press to be able to say 'pay no attention to the man behind the curtain'."

They are the actual death panels. And: They're already enacting cuts. Which Obama is postponing until after the election.

Pro Obama = Pro Death Panels.

9 Obama-cons are in short supply as well, as only 3% of Republicans in the survey will vote for the incumbent.

these people should perhaps consider what a 'Republican' is.

10 Obama's best group in the white electorate remains well-educated women, who tend toward more liberal positions on social issues as well as greater receptivity to government activism.

Yeah, my white, well-educated sister, who is having to clean houses for a living since her ad agency went under, still loves her some Barry. 

11 And, specifically, working class whites, who were never really a strongly pro-Obama group, are even less supportive of him now than they were in 2008.

"Working class" but not actually "working" tends to have that effect.

12 Is "big Democratic skew" a typo?

13 It looks like all the ARRA money is finally being spent with little effect on the employment numbers. Now, everybody believes something different ought to be hauled out to knock this bum out of office, but to me "a trillion dollar failed stimulus" is how we necktie the guy.

 >>> This is probably the same 3% that say they have talked to Elvis since 1977.

You say that like it's a bad thing...........

20 Ace, check the headlines on the side of the main page.  The article about the U. of Iowa College Republicans deserves an article of its own due to the amount of lefty chutzpah on display.

21 Obama won last time for one reason and one reason only. A large amount of the base stayed at home and that caused several normally red States to shift.

Since then those red States have shifted back. A few States like CO and NV have shifted to blue but they don't have the electoral votes to matter.

Obama will lose big unless we have another candidate that causes the base to sit at home.

22 O/T:  That hamburger pic in the sidebar is killing me. 

23 I think it's safe to say,  the downfall of our republic can be directly attributed to White Boomer Females and their spawn.

<ducks>

24 Oh for crying out loud.  But the over 90% of Black people, who are going to vote for him solely because he is black, isn't racism at all. 

25

Obama's biggest problem is going to be intensity. In 2008 he had the youngsters riding the Unicorn dust. He doesn't have that now. They may say they tepidly approve of the job he's doing and some of them will vote for him. They aren't going to be manning phone banks, knocking on doors and sending him money like they did in 2008.

There is 25% unemployment with 18 to 29 year olds. In Seattle high school grads with 4.0 grades and college prep courses can't get into to UW because they are taking out of staters because they pay more.

In other words Obama didn't deliver.

26 Obama's best group in the white electorate remains well-educated women, who tend toward more liberal positions on social issues as well as greater receptivity to government activism.

Well-schooled, perhaps, but definitely not "well-educated" IMHO.

In this circumstance, PhD means "Permanent Head Damage".

What is Obama's standing with working-class blacks and the black population as a whole?  It's still probably about 90%, but still, any crack in the monolithic black vote will spell certain political DOOM for Barry come 2012.

27 Something to also look at is that the youth voter and the black voter turnout will not be as large in 2012 as it was in 2008. It's no longer novel and the economy being in the crapper worse than today will dull alot of ardour.

33 Speaking of "well-educated" women:

Clinton says Syria must stop arrests, detention and torture of prisoners - Reuters

I'm sure Bashir Assad will get right on it. 

34

I don't what is more shocking; This Marist poll or:

A University of Iowa professor felt the need to reply to a blast email by the College Republicans on Monday morning. Ellen Lewin, a professor of Anthropology and Gender, Women’s & Sexuality Studies in the Department of Gender, Women’s & Sexuality Studies, sent a vulgar response to a College Republican email about the group’s, “Conservative Coming Out Week.”

----------------------------------------------------------------

Lewin responded to email by writing, “#*@% [F-Word] YOU, REPUBLICANS” from her official university email account.

------------------------

Trully and utterly shocking.

 

35 Not all, but many well-educated, as was pointed out = government orientated jobs, white women tend to cling to only one issue and that is abortion. That is what sunk Ken Buck's ship in Colorado. The country is statistically on the pro-life side, except for this group. Sisterhood of the educated, empowered abortionists

36

NYT magazine is running an glowing paean to Oblahblah's mother.  It looks like the narcissistic nut didn't fall far from the malignant tree:

"nn uprooted Barry, at age 6, and transplanted him to Jakarta. Now she was up­rooting him again, at barely 10, and sending him back, alone. She would follow him to Hawaii only to leave him again, less than three years later.
 
“She was a very strong person in her own way,” Obama said, when I asked about Ann’s limitations as a mother. “Resilient, able to bounce back from setbacks, persistent — the fact that she ended up finishing her dissertation. But despite all those strengths, she was not a well-organized person. And that disorganization, you know, spilled over. Had it not been for my grandparents, I think, providing some sort of safety net financially, being able to take me and my sister on at certain spots, I think my mother would have had to make some different decisions. And I think that sometimes she took for granted that, ‘Well, it’ll all work out, and it’ll be fine.’ But the fact is, it might not always have been fine, had it not been for my grandmother. . . . Had she not been there to provide that floor, I think our young lives could have been much more chaotic than they were."

 

It also looks like he married someone just like his mother:

“She used to tear me apart,” says Kay Ikranagara, one of AnnÂ’s closest friends, in a tone that sounded almost fond. Ann told her she needed to be bolder and stronger. She made fun of her inadequacy in the kitchen. She told her she should give her housekeeper explicit instructions, not simply let her do whatever she wanted. “With everybody she was like that: she would tell them what was wrong with them,” Ikranagara said. Family members were not spared. “She was very scathing about the traditional Indonesian wife role,” Ikranagara recalled. “She would tell Maya not to be such a wimp. She didnÂ’t like this passive Indonesian female caricature. She would tell me not to fall into that.” 
 

37 And that, of course, is the reason the GOP is going to talk up Ryan's proposal but only in abstract, let's-have-a-conversation terms, and that's why the Democrats are going to run on that like there's no tomorrow.

So, you're saying there might actually be some benefit to not going for broke on spending right now and instead using a long term strategy based on political realities?  Heresy!  Stone the RINO unbeliever!

Posted by: Andy at April 20, 2011 01:52 PM (5Rurq)

They hate the working class.  H-A-T-E.  Look at how they treat Sarah Palin.  Basically the jokes and hatred directed to her from the left is cultural. She's just too working class. She doesn't know her place. She has children, she goes to church, she didn't go to the right schools, how dare she?

Even the unions in Wisconsin were not arguing for the "working class" they staked everything on the "middle class".

Anybody who actually works for a living, who doesn't have an Ivy League law degree or a PhD in something that ends in studies should be running away screaming from the chai latte in a recycled cup crowd.

40

In other words Obama didn't deliver.

 

I resent the comparison...

The love affair and infatuation stage is over. We've entered the "moved in together" stage, and people are starting to have some regrets.

42 At some point, all the racist Union crackers are going to notice that Obama never did lace up those comfortable shoes, shoulder a picket sign and come march with them at the protests...

43 So Obama would be winning if it wasn't for all those old, stupid, Bible-clinging racist dudes.

Got it...

Oh, and Jeff, that article included crap that made Stanley Ann look like a lazyass twat (her son comes by that naturally too):

When Ann arrived, Lolo was in the army. His salary was low. On her first night in Indonesia, Ann complained later to a colleague, Lolo served her white rice and dendeng celeng — dried, jerked wild boar, which Indonesians hunted in the forests when food was scarce. But when Lolo completed his military service, his brother-in-law Trisulo used his contacts as a vice president at the Indonesian oil com­pany Pertamina to help Lolo get a job in the Jakarta office of the Union Oil Company of California. By the early 1970s, Lolo and Ann had moved into a rented house in Matraman, a middle-class area of Jakarta. The house was a pavilyun, an annex on the grounds of a bigger main house. It had three bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, a library and a terrace. Like the households of other Indonesians who could afford it, it had a sizable domestic staff. Two female servants shared a bed­room; two men — a cook and a houseboy — slept mostly on the floor of the house or in the garden. The staff freed Ann from domestic obligations to a degree that would have been almost impossible in the United States. There were people to clean the house, prepare meals, buy groceries and look after her children — enabling her to work, pursue her inter­ests and come and go as she wanted.

 

I also loved this line:

Ann would finish teaching at 9 in the evening and sometimes not return home until midnight, Saman said. She seemed barely to sleep. She would stay up, typing and correcting BarryÂ’s homework, then get up again before dawn.

 

Yup, this set up a pattern for little Barry that would continue throughout his adult life.  The dude didn't do his own homework and he still doesn't. 

57 The problem is that white as a whole are moving away from him.


If that's a problem, I don't need a solution.

If that's wrong, I don't want to be right.

60 A poll of 1274 votes, and 1084 registered voters, which is which now, they are torturing the numbers more than Jack Bauer did in Season 2 of 24

61 With the Black population now at 10% or less (?), does it matter how they vote anymore? The black population is imploding by its on self doing. I feel sorry for those whom bought into the liberal BS spin and now are reaping the non-bennefits. Why, all you had to do is sit down and say: "Does this make sense to be a ward of the government (Democrats) and will my life get any better?". To the black American community you voted for it , now you live with it !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

62 Jeez, nobody told me there would be reading involved.  So in 2012, will the white working class 52%ers realize they were duped, or will they just double down on what was a bad bet to start with?

63 As far as Obama's 2012 chances go, I think he's in deep trouble.  If the Race Card is the only thing he can pull out in his favor, he's REALLY in deep trouble.

His approval ratings suggest his 2008 totals were a high watermark that he'll be lucky to reach again, both in EVs and vote percentage.  Combine that with a net loss of 7 EVs due to the census and his polling in several swing states and he's got issues.  He's under water in Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, and Virginia at the least.  He's also in danger in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and probably New Hampshire and the Lincoln, Nebraska, Congressional District (1 EV). 

The first 5 plus the NE CD takes him down to 272 EVs.  If he loses another state past that, he's toast because his opponent either wins outright or, in a three candidate race, it gets thrown to the House and the VP race gets thrown to the Senate.  The GOP holds the overall majority plus a  majority of House delegations (including but not limited to NH, LA, FL, TX, AR, AK, AL, CO, ID, IN, GA, KY, MS, OK, WI, TN, SD, UT, etc.), so the Republican candidate would win in that situation.

64

So this means all moronettes are unedjecated hicks?

WOOT!

Which ones of you'ns  wanna have my 12 fingered baby?

65

The problem is that white as a whole are moving away from him.

It's the, "There goes the neighborhood" , effect - in full effect.

Straight up Racism.

66 OT: Why is there no talk of a challenger to Ben Casey Jr in PA? What's his poll numbers look like? I thought he basically flip flopped on every issue out there twice so why hasn't anyone stepped up yet?

67

College kids and blacks will not come out for him like they did in 2008. For example college kids: "2008 was so yesterday".

btw ace, I dont think trump will run. He is making noise. Ed posted a link on hotair that trump supported the auto bailouts. done and done.

68 "Obama-cons are in short supply as well, as only 3% of Republicans in the survey will vote for the incumbent."

So at least 3% of the Republicans are Democrats. I probably buy that. At least as far as this survey goes. That "wide tent" thing isn't necessarily a good thing, Rove, you pinhead.

69

"No more Obama plates, coins, chiapets, etc." 

That's because the white, working-class racists at the local range bought them up to use for target practice in between clinging to their religion and their guns.

It gets better.

1. She's an Anthropology / Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies professor.

2. Her "apology" was along the lines of "I'm sorry I hate you because you don't bow down to the LGBT agenda"

3. She had the chutzpah to complain that one of the students who told her to fark off referred to her in a reply by her first name instead of as "professor.

71 Marist Poll

You spelled Marxist wrong.

72 I have a dream that my two children will one day live in a nation where they can judge a politician not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character.

73 As long as you can refrain yourself from raping it, I'm ok with that. Rape a liberal's skeleton? That's just gross.

74
You guys hear about this?
There's a website that offers teens advice about issues they could face.

For instance, the website explains to teen girls that abortions aren't as bad as people say. And they teach kids how to hide their abortions from their parents.

And they tell girls to always carry with them condoms and lube because they never what's going to happen when they're out with others.

The Kicker: The state of MA funds this website to the tune of $100K, annually.

So never accept this bullshit about needing new revenue streams (taxes) and not being able to cut spending.

75 You folks who are thinking on a low turnout from the Commiecrat base better go back and look at 2010 again.

That was the source of all those people thinking 100 seat pickup in the House and turnover of the Senate. What was discounted in that "enthusiasm gap" was the union GOTV efforts. In States with strong union presence they got out the vote and our candidate lost.

There are certain realities to always keep in mind. The parties are both right at 50% of the electorate. The Party that is successful in its own GOTV effort will always win.

So do not discount the Dem GOTV. They are generally better at it than Repubs.

76 68 OT: Why is there no talk of a challenger to Ben Casey Jr in PA? What's his poll numbers look like? I thought he basically flip flopped on every issue out there twice so why hasn't anyone stepped up yet?

Posted by: Rocks at April 20, 2011 02:19 PM (Q1lie)

Nothin yet. He is under 50 right now. He is winning against possible challengers because of name recgonition. We need a candidate first before polls shore up.

77 She had the chutzpah to complain that one of the students who told her to fark off referred to her in a reply by her first name instead of as "professor.

Shut up. She's earned that title.

78 No candidate will ever again win both "working-class white voters" and "well-educated white women," because the groups' interests have diverged entirely. Well-educated white women vote specifically against working-class white voters, for flame-causing reasons I won't whip out here.

The Ds seem to know that W-EWWs are motivated by that specific antagonism, so they narrowed their appeal, and replaced their cast-off "poors" (as the well-educated white women I know refer to working-class whites, with hatefully false irony) with Mexicans. That's accompli, with Republican complicity.

Now the GOP is terrified of alienating its statistically tiny remnant of the W-EWW vote (with its outsized media voice and social power, as demonstrated re: Palin) by appealing to working-class whites, by standing with "one of them," or anyone who even appeals to them, so—four more years.

At least four. I think whoever replaces Biden as the next VP gets four, too. Then comes DOOM.

79 Really?!  56% of college-educated white women approve of Obama's performance.  Well, it looks like not finishing college was the best decision I ever made.

80 He is vulnerable. We can win with a strong conservative. No reason to support a RINO just so we can get rid of Obama since we can beat him with an actual conservative. His record is appalling. The public is against his two main "accomplishments" Healthcare and stimulus. Deficit and debt are appalling. Bottom line, he got 52% of the vote in a year which was the best for Democrats in my lifetime. All the stars aligned in 2008. 52% is not a landslide despite what the media says. 5% switch and we win. Does anyone think it is impossible or even unlikely that 5% might switch? I don't. Fight like hell and we can replace this human destroyer with a conservative.

81

OT: Why is there no talk of a challenger to Ben Casey Jr in PA? What's his poll numbers look like? I thought he basically flip flopped on every issue out there twice so why hasn't anyone stepped up yet?

He's got the seat for life. One of our problems in PA, and america in general, is that if your father was a popular elected politician, then the son or daughter gets a free pass.

I doubt anyone will beat Casey, besides he is considered more "centrist" than Joe Sestak was.

 

82 "In the new poll, 56 percent of college-educated white women said they approved of Obama's performance."

Doesn't look like an education took. Or should I say the education actually did take. Whatever. They're demonstrably stupid whether learned or innate.

Yeah, unfortunately for Obama, some of those college voters have graduated, unable to find jobs, and are still living with their parents.  Sucks to be them.

86 Don't worry, we'll blow this one too. It's what we do.

88 77, I agree 100%. My great hope is that the new RNC head is focusing almost entirely on GOTV. Money is important of course, but with new media getting the message out is easier than ever. If our GOTV is even close to what the dems have, we win.

I see there is someone announced who used to work for Santorum. I never had a problem with him but I think they should get someone with little association to Santorum so Junior can't just rerun his last race.

99 1. She's an Anthropology / Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies professor. Wow, subjects I refuse to touch on in class (US government courses) in more than a glancing fashion. I always get a kick out of the questions about teaching diversity in the job interview process. The faces of the interviewers when I explain the mandatory diversity agenda is one of the many problems with college education is always worth knowing I'm not going to get the job. 2. Her "apology" was along the lines of "I'm sorry I hate you because you don't bow down to the LGBT agenda" Funny, I don't bow down to it either, or any other agenda. Yet I don't hate them for believing what they believe, even if I think its faulty. Odd how that type of prejudice works. 3. She had the chutzpah to complain that one of the students who told her to fark off referred to her in a reply by her first name instead of as "professor. I always allow my students to call me my first name. I always called my professors by their first name, unless I respected them; they had to earn my respect first. I feel the same way about my students with me. Otherwise, I'm just me, no title blowjob necessary. Funny how that type of self-fellatio works too.

It is possible to win PA. You have to campaign like crazy throughout pittsburgh, pitt suburbs and all of western and T shaped PA. DO not campaign in Philly. Campaign in the philly suburbs. I live in the philly suburbs and not everyone is happy. Western workers in PA HATE Obama. It's philly that gives him the edge here. If we have a candidate much more adamant about family values and gun issues, we can win here. Pittsburgh is not as liberal as one might think. It went to our new R governor and Pat Toomey only lost it by 10%.

104 Anyone else here happy that we are spending $25 million dollars to send tents and halal meals to the Labian rebels?  Those must be some nice tents.

106 Old and busted:  Funemployed

New Hotness:  Superheroes

ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida officials are investigating an unemployment agency that spent public money to give 6,000 superhero capes to the jobless.

Workforce Central Florida spent more than $14,000 on the red capes as part of its "Cape-A-Bility Challenge" public relations campaign. The campaign featured a cartoon character, "Dr. Evil Unemployment," who needs to be vanquished.

Florida's unemployment agency director asked Monday for an investigation of the regional operation's spending after the Orlando Sentinel published a story about the program. State director Cynthia Lorenzo said the spending appeared to be "insensitive and wasteful."

Workforce Central Florida Director Gary J. Earl defends the program, saying it is part of a greater effort to connect with the community. The agency says it served 210,000 people during its last fiscal year, placing nearly 59,000 in jobs.

107 63 With the Black population now at 10% or less (?), does it matter how they vote anymore? The black population is imploding by its on self doing. I feel sorry for those whom bought into the liberal BS spin and now are reaping the non-bennefits.


Yes, that is one of the saddest things about the Obama tragedy: it will permanently (100+ years) wed black Americans to the failed ideology of the Dumbocrat party--in what can only be described as a plantation-style relationship. 

I have no great love for Colin Powell, but at least his campaigning and election would have shaken up black party affiliation for the better.

120 Contrary to my optimistic demeanor I see a new demographic that will vote for Obama and that's the 2008 14 to 17 year olds. I also believe the disinterest blacks may be showing now will do a 180 once the election is near. They will regroup when they perceive Obama's reelection as a referendum on their race. What is needed is a large turnout by our side to win.

121 I still say the way to run against him is the "you can't trust him or anything he says" campaign.  Because, one, it's true and secondly there are thousands of his liar statements that can be put in a commercial.

This discussion reminds me of Colin Quinn's HBO bit on, eh, Perry Como (I think) if he were living in the modern gangsta street cred rap world.  His point was the debasing of popular culture.  Which is hard to argue when we're talking busting caps in people and stuff like that. 

123 The two biggest problems for the Republicans are the 2012 budget and running a weak candidate. If the Dems succeed at the class warfare game-- and they currently are-- then the Rs are going to have to drop some aspects of the budget if they want to win.* Second, a weak candidate who seem unserious or lacks charisma as compared to Obama would be a problem. Either way, the current issue is whether Obama looks good as compared to the Republicans in spite of his many failings.

What a screwed-up society.

126 In the new poll, 56 percent of college-educated white women said they approved of Obama's performance. That's a slight improvement from the 52 percent of such women who voted for him in 2008, according to the Edison Research exit poll.

Wait, what? College-"educated" women, having pulled the lever for Obama for whatever stupid fucking reason in 2008 (I hesitate to use the word reason, since a vote for Obama could never be a rational one), have now for more than two years seen his fecklessness, his uselessness, his preening, his bitchiness, his laziness, his golfing, his thin skin, his waffling, his vacillating, his punting, his languid reaction to crisis after crisis, and have gravitated even more into his camp?

He can lose VA, NC, and OH --- and also FL and IN --- and still eke out an electoral majority by keeping the rest of the states he won in 2008.  The Republican candidate needs to take back these five key states (which according to polls shouldn't be a difficult accomplishment) and also win any additional state not won by McCain in 2008.

129

I know it says that 56% of well-educated white women support Barky, but that also means that 44% of WEWW DON'T support him.

What percentage of the women in the poll were Democrats and how many were Republicans?  What were the party percentages for WEWW?

My bet is that the poll skewed heavily towards Dems, and that very few WEWW Republican women approve of Barry.

The good news is that most WEWW who are Democrats are an endangered species - there are many childless single women in that group, as well as many lesbians in that group.  The ones who are married probably only have one child.  They support abortion.  Their birthrate makes their "species" unsustainable.....

And a vast majority of those single, non-lesbian WEWW Dems will turn conservative once they have children -

12.3% by the 2000 Census.  For comparison, that's about as large a proportion as Americans of German descent.  Yes, that's right--less than one eighth of the total population.  That's all.  (I'll donate to the funeral of the first public figure who talks about 'disproportionate influence' on those grounds--they won't survive a fortnight, but the results would be tragicomedy gold, I tell you!)

Most Everyone belongs to one these differnt groups when it comes to the change in Obama's vote patterns from '08 to '12:

1. No matter if things are good or bad I vote for the dem.

2. I vote for the dem if I think things will get better for me.

3. I vote for the incumbent because that's who I know.

4. I vote against the incumbent because change is good.

5. I vote by flipping a coin because I am totally uninformed.

6. I vote for dem or rep depending on who I think will make things better for me.

7. No matter how good or bad things are I never vote for a dem, but I am open to third parties.  

8. No matter how good or bad things are I always vote for a third party.

9. I vote for the republican if I think things will get better for me.

10. No matter if things are good or bad I vote for the republican.

11. I vote if it's a historic thing, like electing the USA's first black/Kenyan/Muslim/Communist president.

12. I'm dead/illegal/voting multiple times so I'm voting dem, duh! 

13. If I knew then what I know now, I would not have voted for this narcisstic destroyer of our country. 

In most of these cases where Barry Sotero found votes in 2008 the numbers will have trended down as he has a record that people may consider in its effect upon them. Trends 2 and 6 are the independent voters and 11 are the emotional voters that will not turn out in the same numbers; those trends will be substantial enough to tank the undocumented President.

Counting on the youth vote to win? HAHAHAHAHA.  They aren't going to have the excitement the 18 to 22 year olds of 2008 had for him.  They were voting for something special.  Now the youth vote would just be voting to re-elect.  And those 18 - 22 year olds of 2008?  I can't imagine them being to happy with him to vote again. Out of college and job market in the toilet, and well if they weren't working while at college they're not being counted as part of the unemployed.

150

 They don't know I only stand up for Kal Penn and goats.

This is true.

151 People lie.  If someone calls me to ask who I'm voting for I'm not going to tell them.  If they push, I'm going to out and out lie.  In the exit polls I always lie, always and usually say I voted for some little known person on some little known party line.

So, a lot of people are going along with BO, they actually think obamcare is important and was way overdue.  But, seeing the polls, they are smart enough to keep their mouths shut.  They aren't going to say "I'm voting for him again, no matter what" cause some in the group might challenge them.  And, after all, it's just you in the booth alone.  Also, it's been my experience with the obamabots that they feel it is their duty to lie to the pollsters so that the re election will be a total shocker to everyone.  the other concerning thing is the ability to outright cheat.  No one wants to really discuss what happened in the WI Supremes election.  Why not?   If you have a bunch of "the ends justifies the means folks" put in a position where they think they are doing something that is absolutely wrong but for the "good of the country" can anyone guarantee that they won't assist in cheating?

180 As  far as the dynamic of the 2012 Presidential election I think people are wrong. Incumbents don't lose close elections. Incumbents get tossed out mostly. If Obama is reelected it will be by a close margin no matter who the candidate is but  if he loses he will go down hard.  Unless the economy turns around significantly within 12 months in which case Obama coasts.

181 Yes alot of the elderly will not take kindly to threats of cuts to Medicare.  That said, the GOP needs to point out that the President advocated the same thing as well as cuts to Medicaid.  The non-profit I work for gets alot of the women on TANF(welfare) who have to do their hours of community service.  I mentioned this to them and they went ballistic.  Most are not happy with Obama at all.  They expected more and will get or have gotten less.  Irony is so ironic.

The shovel-ready President..

 

Seriously!  Did you all hear this clip?  You can link onto it from CNSdotcom.  He's such a frigging liar.  And I thought the stimulus went to fund such construction projects.  I'm ready to take a shovel to his face.

 

"According to the Republican budget that was passed, for example, we would have to eliminate transportation funding by a third," Obama told a townhall meeting in Annandale, Va., on Tuesday.

"WeÂ’d have to cut transporting funding by a third," said Obama. "You remember when that bridge in Minnesota collapsed with all those people on it? And there was a big hue and cry: How can this happen in America? Well, the National Society of Engineers, theyÂ’ve looked around and they give us a 'D' when it comes to infrastructure. Our roads, our bridges, our sewer systems are all deteriorating.

"We donÂ’t even have a serious high-speed rail infrastructure in this country," Obama continued. "Our broadband lines are slower than places like South Korea. Well, so what, we cut transportation by another third, and whatÂ’s going to happen to America? WeÂ’re just going to have potholes everywhere? WeÂ’re just going to have bridges collapsing everywhere?"

On Aug. 1, 2007, the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis, Minn., collapsed sending 111 vehicles into the Mississippi River and killing 13 people.

Contrary to ObamaÂ’s townhall speech, the bridge did not collapse because of “deteriorating” infrastructure. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the collapse was due to a design flaw, not to a lack of maintenance.

  

184 This educated white woman loathes the Won and never would vote for him, or any Dem. in fact.  All my educated white woman friends are all conservative and counting the days until Nov 2011.   Now the white woman who watch Oprah and Dr. Phil just love them some Obammy.   Those woman speak in a language that is foreign to my ears.

Or maybe with a Southern twang: "Well, fuck you and call me Professor!"

If you do that, you need a "Bless your heart" thrown in at the beginning or end.

The Mandingo Effect



Sexist and racist and . . . true!

189 I think instead of relying on the hope that previous Obama voters will sit out or switch their vote we should be concentrating on increasing our turn out. I still see too many here talk about sitting out if certain people are or are not the Rep nominee. My campaign slogan is Anyone But Obama.

What we really need for 2012 is for a bunch of Republicans in hard Blue states like NY and California to move to swing states.  Could you get on that for me?  I get to stay here in Florida because my vote counts here, too much in fact.  But you Republicans in places like Vermont aren't doing the rest of us any good.  Hope that isn't too much trouble.

 And I thought the stimulus went to fund such construction projects.  I'm ready to take a shovel to his face.

I'm old enough to remember when we paid our taxes for stuff like that, instead of for public service union pensions.

Those were the days...

194 Iowa and NH are blue-blue solid. SC will go for whoever runs the statewide Republican Party (Graham). McCain won by a narrow margin last time but got all the delegates. At least they have changed that but only in the first three. So it is still possible for the Republican candidate to be someone who 70% of the base hates.

195 And each state picks its own date, not the RNC.

BS, the Republican leadership meeting set the current dates several months ago.

100% Agree. I have seen several here who state they will sit their  stupid ass at home if X or Y candidate is the Rep Nom.

To this I say, as a professor (of something or other) FUCK YOU!  Seriously, if Mittens is the Rep Nom you'll just sit home? To those people let me tell you that I have more respect for the average JEF supporter because at least they believe in something, even if it is Bull Shit.

You come on  AofSHQ and bitch non stop about The JEF and the state of the country but if Huck is the Rep Nom you'll just sit on your hands. Again, FUCK YOU!

In her Match.com profile, her "friends" describe her a strong, independent, and sassy.  She has a 327 point checklist of requirements for the man that is perfect for her (emphatically not looking for the perfect man, though).  After all, she is still too pretty to have to "settle" for any other than the perfect soulmate man.  Tired of games, she dismisses players, betas, omegas, and fubos from contacting her.

199 Possibly these well educated white women are not married and may not have a family. Once a woman gets married her priorities shift toward taking care of the family. Obama's policy are anti family and affect the husband's pay check. This is not true in all cases but in most cases. The family definately changes your priorities from when you were only single and worrying about yourself only.

Good thing truth is not a defense to a charge of racism or sexism.   

205 "182 As  far as the dynamic of the 2012 Presidential election I think people are wrong. Incumbents don't lose close elections. Incumbents get tossed out mostly. If Obama is reelected it will be by a close margin no matter who the candidate is but  if he loses he will go down hard.  Unless the economy turns around significantly within 12 months in which case Obama coasts."     I don't think there are enough shovel ready jobs to turn the economy around. Even if they were, it would only turn Mexico's economy around. Shoosh you think American know how to use a shovel?

Contrary to ObamaÂ’s townhall speech, the bridge did not collapse because of “deteriorating” infrastructure. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the collapse was due to a design flaw, not to a lack of maintenance.

80 This.  And by all means, don't hold back on the flame worthy topics.  Let's face it: that particular group are among the most pampered, neurotic, sheltered, arrogant, and venal demographic groups to have ever "graced" the planet.  Emphasis on sheltered -- if they had never been, and weren't now, they might not suffer from the other things.

I say this as a well educated white woman with a passing knowledge of my peers...it sucks for the rest of the female gender, but we will be paying for their audacity.  So by all means, flame away; it's perhaps time well educated white women heard the not so flattering truth about themselves.

Correct.  The Republican leadership has also intentionally sandbagged states which try to get a jump on Iowa and New Hampshire in the past.

I specifically remember that the Republican caucuses in Louisiana in 1996 were snubbed by virtually all candidates but Sen. Phil Gramm (R-TX) because Iowa got pissy about it being too close to their caucuses.

215 Posted by: runningrn at April 20, 2011 02:03 PM (ihSHD) Check out Obama playing up his white half. Grandma wasn't a typical old white racist, she was an anchor. And mom wasn't a whore, merely liberated and proud.

216

I am a well-edumacated white woman who despises The Won with every fiber of my being.

 

217 While I realize the need not to take anything for granted and to get out the vote and push hard for the Repub candidate (whoever it turns out to be) Nov. '12, I don't think Barry has a prayer unless some freaking miracle occurs and the economy suddenly recovers (which it will not) or jobs start suddenly materializing out of thin air (they won't). He has lost way too much independent support from most demographic groups to win, especially from traditionally Democratic strongholds like my state, Michigan. Mark my words, he will lose Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and possibly Minnesota, along with Florida and Ohio, and that's spells certain doom for Barry-O. There's no way he can win without Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio and Michigan - all of them. And he hasn't got a prayer if things continue as they are or get worse, and they likely will get worse.

218 My wife is just barely dumb enough to marry me, but still a pretty educated white woman, and she can't even stand to listen to Dipshit speak on the radio.

Obama pushed her to vote Republican for the first time and change her registration to R. She is now working on her ACLU academic family to teach them.

It's the communism, not the color.

219 Heh!  His support amongst his Hollywood Idiots is eroding too.  And yeah, these uneducated dumbtards will still support and vote for him, but it is fun seeing him lose his luster in their vacant eyes.   From Politico:
Actor Matt Damon, who stumped for Obama in Florida in ’08, publicly slammed the president last month, telling Piers Morgan that he believes the president has “misinterpreted his mandate.”

Damon isnÂ’t the only one grumbling. Other celebs who took active roles in ObamaÂ’s 2008 campaign have since knocked his performance as president.

Hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs told The Source magazine earlier this year that “I'd rather have a black president that was man enough to say that he was doing something for black people have one term than a president who played the politics game have two terms.”

Barbra Streisand, who crooned her support for Obama in ’08, admitted in December that she was “a little” disappointedin his leadership on the issue of “don’t ask, don’t tell” in the military. (Streisand won’t participate in any of the fundraising events on Thursday due to scheduling conflicts, said a rep.)

Even Black Eyed Peas frontman wil.i.am, the force behind the incredibly popular “Yes We Can” video tribute to Obama, has expressed his frustration. “I don’t want to hope anymore. I don’t think we should hope anymore. We hoped enough. Now we have to do,” the artist said in a January interview with the New York Times.

Of course, just because a few stars are less gung-ho for Obama doesnÂ’t mean the entertainment industry as a whole has soured on him.

219 Well, it's time to realize that you are a minority...most of your peers are a bunch of spoiled rotten douchebags, desperately clinging to adolescence, and the primary problem is that as long as they get their shoes, clothes, weekends with the "girls" and date nights, gifties, and lap dogs (or trophy kids, which they treat like pets), they don't give a shit about anything else (in fact, they rarely think about much beyond that and texting and facebook)...and they'll vote for whomever flatters their rather overabundant and petty egos (or they won't vote for people they "don't like" -- which is a danger as well for the Republicans).  It isn't a logical, reasonable thing either: it's whomever "they don't like", which could be something as trivial as "speaks funny", "is stupid", etc. by their own estimation or the estimation of their little clique-y poo.

Society, their parents, government, the men in their lives have done a great job of tending to the delicate little flowers -- who have repaid that by becoming a bunch of feckless weeds (and no, they don't change after marriage and kids).

Like I said: sucks for women who aren't that way, but due to them we will all pay (and maybe we deserve it too -- because we put up with those shenanigans ourselves or allowed them to get the upperhand; nobody's innocent)...bill's probably coming due here really soon.

I don't know how you could have missed this since it was posted at the time of the meeting several times but the leadership does in fact set the dates. The State Parties must then go to their legislatures and get them to vote on those dates.

States that do not conform either lose all of their delegates or half of them, depending on the rules for that election. In 2008 SC lost half of their delegates because they moved their Primary up before the date set by the Party.

225

I don't care. Obama is awesome.

Sad, but so true, I saw it soon after it posted.

 

226 Since then those red States have shifted back. A few States like CO and NV have shifted to blue but they don't have the electoral votes to matter. Obama will lose big unless we have another candidate that causes the base to sit at home. Posted by: Vic at April 20, 2011 01:58 PM (M9Ie6) A billion times yes. I would go further and add states that were once reliably red are moving that way too. Look at the election of 2010 and polling out of New Hampshire. He's lost that one. Maine is flirting with the GOP again too for the first time since 1988.

227 I wish to God that someone would point out to these idiot pollsters that someone having a college degree doesn't necessarily mean that they are "well-educated." I learned more in 8 weeks of Basic Training than I did in the 3 years that it took for me to earn my BS.

228

@20: "The article about the U. of Iowa College Republicans deserves an article of its own due to the amount of lefty chutzpah on display."

The comments on said article reflect a lot of typical GOP "Good lord, we daren't sink to their level and be mean" pants-wetting, too.

229

@64 "... will the white working class 52%ers realize they were duped, or will they just double down on what was a bad bet to start with?"

I got money on 'double down'. The Cargo Cult Society that used to be America is pretty much not going to let go of their golden goose boy.

230 Yeah, unfortunately for Obama, some of those college voters have graduated, unable to find jobs, and are still living with their parents.  Sucks to be them.

We won't need jobs if we can just find that mountain of cash the ultra rich are hiding from us.

231

I liked this part of her "apology" - which I posted in the headlines thread:

"Despite the Republicans’ general disdain for LGBT rights you called your upcoming event “conservative coming out day,” appropriating the language of the LGBT right movement."

Actually, debutantes have been "coming out" long before the gays appropriated that language.  Now they want to claim originality.  LOL.  It's like dealing with muslims.

My wife has a gay uncle who we love dearly.  He told us a while ago that coming out as a gay man was 1000 times easier than coming out as a conservative in the circles he works in.

232 Everyone else is moving away. Way too slowly for me to feel comfortable about it, but it does look like there's movement away.

That preference cascade is gonna look like a freakin' tsunami.

233 Hey, Obamuhh, guess who's racist. You, muthafucka, you. And what's up with these ads disguised as comments? I'd love to knock the crap outta THAT guy.

234

To beat Soros' puppet you need a leader with backbone who isn't afraid to stand up to the legacy media.  I doubt the loser GOP will select someone who breaks the mold and will select another McCain clone.

 

If it does who cares if Obamao wins?  We're all screwed anyway.

235

56% of college educated women favorably view Obama.  Well, I submit that these supposedly educated women, in large part, are not matriculating in basic economics at their universities.  So when they vote in elections, their brains faltering in the cold, hard factoring of economic sense, they tend to vote with their tits.  And tits don't know shit about economics.
