— Ace The illusions they cling to.
This capsulizes various reports from inside the White House, including reporter's comments and tidbits pulled from books about Obama's presidency.
It's not a pretty picture. I can't quote it all, so I'll just quote a few tasty morsels.
The beginning is about the four main critiques of Obama from liberals. As usual, it's the typical claptrap about "communications," Obama having too high a moral character to join Republicans in the gutter, and two related problems: that Obama's stimulus package was not big enough (and not socialist enough), which is caused by the second problem, that Obama cares too much about high deficits and therefore is too much of a fiscal conservative debt-hawk.
So the typical stuff: Obama simply cannot cure low-information voters of their resilient stupidity, Obama is too good to prosper in Evil America, and Obama's far too conservative to make sound policy choices.
Fine answers all.
Then the article begins diagnosing Obama's character -- based on reportage from largely left-wing sources.
Perhaps the most unattractive personality trait that emerges from the various descriptions of the president is that he constantly feels underappreciated and is prone to bouts of self-pity. Obama complained that “events had conspired against him,” we read in Showdown. “He would routinely note that he had been handed ‘a real shitty deal’ when he entered the White House.” Prior to the 2010 election, a former senior White House official recalls to Corn: “The world seemed to be going to shit. The president was doing his best, but it was impossible to get credit.”
I wonder how many other people have worked their whole lives for a very high-status job, and then immediately began complaining the job was hard.
What did you think it would be? A "cakewalk"?
A senior administration official lamented that, in Corn’s words, “being responsible for preventing adverse consequences was [a] lonely duty in Washington.” The president and members of his economic team “believed they had not received sufficient credit for having passed a variety of modest-sized job measures.” In speaking about the business community, Obama complained:“I saved these guys when the economy was falling off a cliff. Now I get nothing but their venom.”
And Corn relays an even more extraordinary episode: “We’re losing white males,” Obama said to a private gathering of labor leaders. “Fed by Fox News, they hear Obama is a Muslim 24/7, and it begins to seep in….The Republicans have been at this for 40 years. They have new resources, but the strategy is old.” This line of thinking is something conjured up in a Manichean, make-believe world. One gets the sense that Obama really believes it, and that he is not alone.
The article then turns to the state-of-mind of contemporary liberalism, noting, for example, that Obama is the least "obstructed" President since FDR in '33 and LBJ in '65 -- for two full years, he had absolutely unchecked free reign. He got everything he wanted.
It's true he's had less success in the following year and a half -- but that's because all the things he got in his first two years failed to improve the nation's circumstance, and he was therefore dealt a historic repudiation at the polls.
Sill, that said: Most of a president's policies are passed in the honeymoon period or not at all. Obama got much more than most presidents get.
George Bush's last two years in office featured an entire Congress (and not just the House) controlled by Democrats. He also faced some obstruction.
But all this excuse-making is of course in service of a simple goal: To avoid conceding any flaws in socialism itself. They will, in the end, always throw the Man and the Execution under the bus in order to keep the Socialism Bus rolling along.
However, there's always a more tempting scapegoat: The dull-witted, racist, fearful American people themselves.
If Obama goes on to lose his bid for reelection, it would be yet another crushing blow to liberalism. And in reading these books, it is hard to avoid the impression that the effort to explain a 2012 defeat is already under way....
Axelrod then summed up the case for Obama: “This may not be entirely satisfying, but he believes his highest responsibility is to get things done.” Axelrod’s own job, as he understands it, has been to “find a way to convey this, to politically monetize character.” He added, “It’s not entirely apparent you can do that.”
If the president loses in November, the left, ever in search of narratives, will settle on this one: Barack Obama was simply too good for America.
In other Obama-related news, the RNC is now running an Obama ad.
Sort of. It's the instantly-infamous Anna "Devil Wears Prada" Wintour ad, with unemployment figures running below it. (Embedded after the fold.)
Bob Shrum says if Obama runs on his record, he'll lose.
So he won't do that/isn't doing that.
A CNN poll of adults -- really? Not even voters? -- find Obama with a three point lead, which means he's actually trailing.
Worst yet, even with adults, Romney's favorability numbers have jumped fourteen points since February. (Duh-- I meant Romney's favorables climbed 14 points, not Obama's!)
Romney and Obama now have identical unfavorable figures -- 42% each -- while Obama, supposedly, with adults, enjoys a higher margin of favorability, 56-42 as opposed to Romney's 48-42.
That's not a terribly wide gulf, and it's only the beginning of June. And the impact of the third month straight of Double-Dip Warning jobs numbers isn't reflected in those numbers yet.
And it's a poll of adults, meaning that a 7 point advantage for Democrats is baked into the cake, IIRC. (If my memory fails me, please let me know-- I think Nate Silver has found that a poll of registered adults gives Democrats an artificial four point advantage as compared to actual vote share, and a poll of adults gives them a 7 point advantage.)
One more thing: Obama's losing big-dollar donors. We already knew that.
He's also losing small-dollar donors, Buzzfeed finds, and by an eyepopping stat: 90% of under-$200 donors who donated in 2008 haven't donated to him yet.
I asked @buzzfeedben if they'd examined the timing of donations; that is, if the great bulk of Obama's small-dollar donations occurred in, say, August 2008, then we couldn't really say Obama was off-pace quite yet.
But he says that they checked that, and that Obama is off fundraising from smaller donors, month-by-month, by "similar statistics."
Similar, that is, to 90%.
That's amazing. That may be the most telling statistic I've heard yet.

Seriously, if you are complaining about the 1% and how out of touch Mitt Romney and Ann Romney are, you do not rollout your new spokesperson - Anna "the devil wears Prada" Wintour, editor of Vogue. I think it is especially hilarious that they have done so, and I am wondering who green-lighted this, for whomever did is an unintentional comic genius.*

Between November 2008 and January 2009, this guy COULD have been the post-partisan person he claimed to be. He could have brought together congressional leaders and the business community and a crafted a set of legislation to actually help the economy instead of whatever the hell that thing was that passed.
But he dithered and left the details to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Say that last sentence out loud. And then the moment was gone and he went all-in on a crap health care law that the Supremes will likely eviscerate. All he ever really wanted to do was soak in the glory of the wind. The responsibility of the office was not something for which he was prepared.
By the way, the pieces that Ace mined contain a glancing mention of the 2010 mid-terms. It is still a difficult task to get anyone in the MFM or the Democratic Party to admit that those electiosn even happened. And I'll be damned if I know exactly what "credit" they are claiming that he deserved then or deserves now.

Actually, I think a lot of liberals thought this was the case. They simply felt that W was too stupid for the job and that any warm body could do it. In essence, the world would revert to the 1990s Clinton universe just as soon as they got another dem into the white house.

At my old job, I bitched and bitched about my work load. Then stuff and things happened and I was given a massive raise. Guess what? I STFU about my work load. Once I was being paid for the work I was doing, I sucked up that this was how it was going to be. That's what happens when you're forced to be a grown up.

The longtime conservative voice of 750AM and 95.5 FM News/Talk WSB on Monday put listeners on notice: A talk show career that stretches back to the days of President Richard Nixon and Gov. Jimmy Carter will end at precisely 1 p.m. Monday, Jan. 21, with either a loud celebration, or a final rant of King Lear proportions.
ThatÂ’s Inauguration Day, you see.

"I mean, this is for a poor person, right? C'mon! Where's the kitchen island?"
At the end of the day, he'll grab a roofing nail and scrawl into the back patio, "THE HOUSE THAT BARACK BUILT," thus taking credit for the whole thing.
After a day like that, even Jimmah would go back behind him and re-trowel the lettering...

The problem with Socialism in a democracy isn't that you run out of other people's money, it's that people with money can afford to wait out the revolutionaries until they fuck everything up enough to get a new regime voted into place.

Heh, kind of ironic that Teh Won, Umbrella Operator Extraordinaire is getting all wee wee'd up over a real shitty deal. Maybe he can run out and by a thingymajig to help him get by. He'll have to be sure to inflate his tires properly, though, before he drives to the store; especially if it's in one of the 57 states he isn't in. Maybe a corpseman can help him, and make sure he doesn't buy an inhaler by mistake. Hopefully, they will be able to successfully complete this errand without running into any tonsil stealing, foot chopping doctors. Those guys are literally vampire capitalists. Hopefully, he tucks some garlic in his arugula to keep them at bay.

This shows that Obama has just the personality and mindset of how voters think to drop out of the running in late June or July in the face of devastating internal polling. He will keep 200 or 300 million in campaign funds for his eventual campaign “when the country is ready” for him.

Analyses of how his "policies" have failed miss the whole point. They have been rousing successes to the Indonesian Dog-Eater. He has been thrilled with how they have screwed America up and he gets an extra kick that America seems unable to stop him.
This election is going to see a replay of Hussein intentionally dumping tens of millions of barrels of oil into the gulf and lighting jsut about every oil well in Kuwait on fire, all as he is being ALLOWED to retreat in one of the most humiliating military defeats in all of recorded history. As hussein did, so hussein will do. This is scorched-Earth to the America-hater and as long as he is extended the opportunity he will see this nation aflame. It ain't over, yet. Not even close.

Not to pile on, because I try to avoid that these days, but I just have to comment that all rainbows have purple, in roy gbiv the v=violet. Now, if one wants to argue color theory about light spectrum and such in order to argue that violet isn't technically purple...however, for all intents and purposes violet is considered part of the purple color family and therefore rainbows have purple. Maybe not always visible due to the way the light is, but there regardless of whether our naked eye perceives it.
Also if one wanted to demonstrate brilliance one could point out that in a double rainbow the colors of the second rainbow are reversed. The more you know, etc...

NEW YORK (AP) — When President Barack Obama's re-election campaign unveiled its new slogan, some conservative critics were quick to pounce.
"Forward," they asserted, is a word long associated with Europe's radical left. Its choice reaffirmed their contention that Obama is, to some degree or other, a socialist — a claim that surfaced early in the 2008 campaign and has persisted ever since, fueling a lively industry of bumper stickers and books..
But to many historians and political scientists — and to actual socialists as well — the persistent claim that Obama is a socialist lacks credence.
He's widely seen as a pragmatist within the Democratic Party mainstream who's had ample success raising campaign funds from wealthy Wall Street capitalists. Even some of his strongest critics acknowledge that his administration hasn't sought one of the classic forms of socialism — government control of the nation's means of production.

Never, ever, ever forget that their entire knowledge of what the Presidency is, was and should be for the Left is tied up neatly in The West Wing.
Everything they know, think they know and think they ought to know about being President they have limited themselves to have learned from that show.
So, yeah: They really fucking think the Presidency would be a cakewalk where most problems can be solved in an hour or less--leaving time for fancy state dinners and other recreational pursuits. (It's also why they hate the rich--their entire worldview is via an education by television. They know jack, diddly and shit about the real world and how hard actual people work.)

This was when he still had a 70% approval rating, had a Congress solidly behind him, and conservatives with their tails between their legs. It was the first real policy document produced by the new Adminstration.
Was this budget a conciliatory, let's-bring-the-country-together-to-deal-with-the-crisis budget? NO. It was a harcore leftist's wish list, replete with charts abiut incoming inequality and a narrative full of snark attempting to show how everything would be just hunky-dory as soon as the Bush tax cuts were repealed and we enacted Cap and Trade. It envisioned a trillion dollars in new revenues 9$600 billion from Cap and Trade alone), massive new spending programs, no attempts to "go line by line through the federal budget" as Candidate Obama had repeatedly promised.
In four days after this budget was released, the Dow fell by over 1000 points.

Leftists aren't constrained by logic or common sense. After all, the Dog-Eating Retard kept yapping about "the worst recession since the Great Depression" and then, in order to excuse himself from the wasted money he intentionally blew to run up the debt and pay off his union thugs turned around and said that he had underestimated the depth of the recession. He got away with it.

However, unlike your demented self, we also realize there are at least a few of the various Arab groups (ethnicities? races?) who are not Muslim. Coptic Christians, for one.

Barky probably figured that the economy would get better on its own....like it did when Clinton was in office.
Hell, Clinton may have even set him up....by telling him in private: "Just don't raise taxes too much, and the economy will come back on it's own...in spite of whatever you do."
Clinton likes to crow about how well the economy did during his term.
But I am still waiting for someone to ask him...."And what exactly was it that you did, Mr. Clinton, to cause the economy to do so well?"

Very few. Most arabs are muslims. The Coptic Christians tend to be what's left of the Egyptians and are not arabs. The Lebanese Arab Christians have been pouring out of there like crazy (most of the arabs that came here in the beginning were arab Christians). Sadly, now we're taking the arab muslims in droves.
The Pali Christians were almost 100% with the muslim palis. The PFLP-GC, among others, were good examples of their military arm. They are just ticked off that pan-islamism has swept through and gotten them tossed out of the terror racket, for the time being.

Obama was handed a shitty deal for a one-trick utopian socialist in language/crony capitalist in reality. We needed a moderate budget cutter, everything from welfare to defense to corporate giveaways, an Ike basically. I like Ike. Instead we got Carter II: this time it's trillions.
Like I said here a year ago or more, and Rand Paul proposed: a one percent across-the-board cut in everything would start to fix the problem with minimal disruption to anything. Hot tubs in Vegas or Hawaii and mixed drinks hardest hit. But our political system is too broken to even contemplate such a thing.

He can't be blamed for all of this, hell, ...
The Spendulus, ObamaCare, the Union Bailouts, the deficit...; they are all the JEF's doing ... he can be blamed for all of this, and none on GWB. And we have him and his Democratic Progressive friends Bawney Fwank, Queen Maxine, and others, for the housing bubble/Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac introductory disasters
... we're better off alot now than 3 years ago!!!
Unemployment effectively doubled under the JEF, and has remained at a reported 8%+ for his entire term ... the number of men no longer looking for work pushes this number to 12%+ , the worst performance since 1945.
New government regulations, clearly power grabs and partizan in nature, are putting various industries out of business, and the replacements (Solyndra!!) are failures.
We have the whiney, sniveling OccuTards realizing that they have a titanic debt, incurred by learning things unusable ... and these tards are unemployable.

The President 'Barely Even Pretends to Have a Clue'
President Obama greeted last week’s rotten news on unemployment by saying the economy is facing “serious headwinds.” It took him three-plus years to figure that out?

I'm willing to bet there were a higher percentage of Japanese who disagreed with their actions in WWII. That didn't make our actions any less right or correct. You don't fight worrying about "the few".

“He would routinely note that he had been handed ‘a real shitty deal’ when he entered the White House.”
I understand that Obama might feel this way. As a metter of fact, I'd be surprised if he didn't. But for anyone else possessing the minimum 2 brain cells required for the occasional random collision that produces a thought..."What the hell did you expect from a man who's primary accomplishment in life was being a Community Organizer? And being congratulated all his life just for being black" Hmmmmm?

I don't even want to kill "all" the Muslims. I don't mind doing it if its really necessary, I suppose, but just them no longer trying to kill us would be enough for me.
Also, that was kind of my point: Being Arabic != being a Muslim. The Muslim bit is the bad part. Mostly.

Threats to Western civilization arise from the arab/persian/muslim world. There are three legs to this anti-Western stool. They are somewhat independent, somewhat at war with each other, but all together represent the source of the bulk of anti-Western threats - and very serious ones.
You can neutralize those threats by taking the gulf oil fields. In lieu of that, much killing will have to be done. People can take their pick. Taking the oil fields seems to be an "immoral act" to most idiots in the West (especially as it would just be REtaking the fields that the APM world stole in the waves of forced nationalizations in the 1950s and 60s) but that particular lie is so ingrained in our society that only war is left for the resolution, and war against the APM world demands more ruthlessness than most Westerners are now comfortable with.
Heck, we won't even bomb their mosques, but they bomb each other's mosques and churches as their FIRST line of attack and hit us at any point they think is vulnerable. Someday we might learn ... but not today.

I have a different take on the first quote box. You need to keep in mind that Obama is, first and foremost, an over-the-top narcissist, and this is an inevitable symptom.
The only time that Obama will NOT feel underappreciated is when he's standing in front of Greek columns with huge throngs of groupies screaming in adulation, and passing out from the sheer excitement.
So the idea that he feels like he "doesn't get enough credit" is practically a "Bear Craps in Woods" or "Water Wet" story.
