— Ace Uh, yeah-uh!
Worth reading in full. An optimistic take.
Republicans feel an understandable anxiety about Mr. Obama's coming campaign: It will be all slice and dice, divide and conquer, break the country into little pieces and pick up as many as you can. He'll try to pick up college students one day and solidify environmentalist support the next, he'll valorize this group and demonize the other. He means to gather in and hold onto all the pieces he needs, and turn them into a jagged, jangly coalition that will win it for him in November and not begin making individual demands until December.But it still matters that the president doesn't have a coherent agenda, or a political philosophy that is really clear to people. To the extent he has a philosophy, it tends to pop up furtively in stray...
But—and forgive me, because what I'm about to say is rude—has anyone noticed how boring he is? Plonking platitude after plonking platitude. To see Mr. Obama on the stump is to see a man at the podium who's constantly dribbling away the punch line. He looks pleasant but lacks joy; he's cool but lacks vigor. A lot of what he says could have been said by a president 12 or 20 years ago, little is anchored to the moment. As he makes his points he often seems distracted, as if he's holding a private conversation in his head, noticing crowd size, for instance, and wishing the front row would start fainting again, like they used to.
...
He's raised a lot of money, or so we keep reading. He has a sophisticated, wired, brilliant computer operation—they know how to mine Internet data and get the addresses of people who've never been reached by a campaign before, and how to approach them in a friendly and personal way. This is thought to be a secret weapon. I'm not so sure. All they can approach their new friends with is arguments that have already been made, the same attacks and assertions. If you have fabulous new ways to reach everyone in the world but you have little to say, does that really help you?
...
This is the problem of the world now: Big mic, no message. If you have nothing to say, does it matter that you have endless venues in which to say it?
...
There is a growing air of incompetence around Mr. Obama's White House. It was seen again this week in Supreme Court arguments over the administration's challenge to Arizona's attempted crackdown on illegal immigration. As Greg Stohr of Bloomberg News wrote, the court seemed to be disagreeing with the administration's understanding of federal power: "Solicitor General Donald Verrilli . . . met resistance across ideological lines. . . . Even Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the court's only Hispanic and an Obama appointee, told Verrilli his argument is 'not selling very well.'" This follows last month's embarrassing showing over the constitutionality of parts of ObamaCare.
All of this looks so bush league, so scattered. Add it to the General Services Administration, to Solyndra, to the other scandals, and you get a growing sense that no one's in charge, that the administration is paying attention to politics but not day-to-day governance.
She ends by asking a series of "Are you better off"" type questions.
I really think it's as simple as she says. Ultimately this election is about the question: "Do you want to try something else, or do you think the last four years are the very best we can do?"
If you've Defined Expectations so low as to give Obama high marks, well, I guess you're unteachable.
But I don't think most people have decided Obama is the Very Best We Can Do.
I think they've decided the last four years are the best Obama can do, but not the best America can do.

She just couldn't help herself in getting caught up in Owaffle mania in 08, because it appealing to her emotional pleasue centers. Now that Owaffle looks like a loser, particularly to even center right beltway folks, Noonan, like most women in her position are forced to try and figure out why those special feelings are gone.
She's fallen out of love and is now lashing out, angry that OWaffle could prove her initial feeeeelings to be so misguided. Boring is code for unsexy.

... But Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan suggested that the president’s “incorrect or ill-thought-through” remarks were tarnishing his professorial reputation.
“Can I tell you something that I think is hurting the president’s reputation right now?” Noonan said.
“He has this reputation — he has for four years now that he has been famous in America as a really smart man. But he has said things lately that are so incorrect or ill-thought-through that people think, ‘He’s really smart. He must be being mischievous. He must be being deliberately provocative.’”

"How can someone be "highly intellectual" and a "former" Republican?"
When I lived in DC in the '80's, I worked with and befriended a guy who was a staunch conservative who loved Reagan. I was a lib in those days and we had some very heated debates, but I seriously began to rethink my views, in part because I had lived in a liberal bubble and had never had my assumptions intelligently challenged before.
Forward to 2010: I called this same man, one-time owner of the collected works of P.J. O'Rourke, at Christmas. He actually bragged of having taken time off of work to work on Obama's campaign. He lives in LA now, works in the movie biz and has, I guess, completely succumbed to the prevailing moonbat atmosphere.

While it is great that they secretly vote Republican......when they use their celeb status to promote Dems, then they are wiping out their own votes....exponentially. ....And doing harm to the future of all of us.

Don't be surprised that she's using "boring" as her outrageously outraged smear for fear of being labelled "racist" if she uses something else. Her domain is (MS)NBC, isn't it? Speech NAZIs will rain down on you should you go against The One.

First, the leftists told us that we have to stop having so many kids....because we're overpopulating the planet. ....Then, they say that we have to let in all these illegals, because....why? We don't have enough people here already?

I know that pumping out septic tanks is a shitty job (pun intended), but, seriously - when you get an estimate, they know damn well how much shit should be in that thing, they do it for a living, and it's bullshit that they can change their minds after they have it open and you can't do a thing about it.

So, here is my story. My next door neighbor is old. I made a deal with him that I would mow his lawn if he would lend me his riding mower. I prefer my self-propelled mower because it has a mulching blade. So I only use his mower on my yard in the really nasty heat.
The battery in his mower failed. I looked on the intertubes for a replacement. I saw prices around $43. I went to the local AutoZone. They wanted $83. I said "No thanks." I called BatteriesPlus. $39.99 + tax.
I will NEVER darken the doorway of Autozone again.

From the beginning, any one paying attention realized that el Jefe was a SCFOAMF. My personal favorites include Chewy aka Michelle claiming that el Jefe's feet stank and screeching that "Barack can't run for president, he ain't done nothing yet." (That's the smartest thing Chewy ever said!!) There was also the Wright tapes that shouted "Warning, Warning-- Danger, Will Robinson!" to anyone who wasn't stupid.
So, I propose the Bama Rule -- any one who actually BELIEVED el Jefe's BS is banned from the public square. I really don't want to hear from Peggy and her ilk anymore. GO AWAY Peggy and take Bama with you!!

Thats about how many I spent there. From ages 13-24. I was the brokest ass mofo in the state the entire time, never once blamed anyone else or expected anything, but got tired of the high cost of living, coupled with the state fees on everything, and the traffic. You could not drive across town without almost being hit by someone, or being car number 10 in line at every stop sign. The only thing I noticed after leaving was if you needed to get over a lane on the freeway people would let you. Here in OH they speed up (pissed off) like you are trying to take something from them.

Independents/moderates usually don't make up their minds (that's assuming they have one as there's no evidence they do) until the last month or so.
We've just got to be the last ones to make an impression then.
Until then, eff all the white guilt so called conservative writers/pundits who jumped on the Affirmative Action Express 3 years ago and now realize that skin color is not a valid indicator of leadership or ability.

they're going to allow non-doctors to perform abortions.
I hope that includes late term abortions. If it does, I'd like to see one done on Pelosi.

Most doctors are appalled by performing abortions, especially when you consider that most doctors become OB-Gyn's to deliver babies. But they are usually quiet about it as a part of their professionalism.
And most nurses I have ever met are even more openly appalled by abortions, they are more outspoken in opposing them.
Most everyone that I know in medicine don't like abortions. Most abortions are performed by a relatively small and motivated minority of doctors.
They are really reaching the bottom of the barrel if they want to certify nurse practictioners to perform abortions. And I'll bet that most nurse practitioners don't want to perform them either.

I thought the concern trolls had to have the "3 C's". The "concerned" "Christian" and "conservative", and that they voted for Nixon/Ford/Reagan/Bush41/Dole/Bush43 or now McCain is still the definition for 2012, right?

I have paid to play there for many years, and during the last Pres. election I actually ended my membership because I couldn't handle the BO praise in the chats.
The last few weeks I have been starting chats with how about those gas prices? Holy crap my monthly grocery bill went up $100 this month, etc., etc.
The chat quickly fills up with 'Anyone but BO and/or Dems need to go' talk.
Every time.
The same thing happens on two of the mom blogs I visit.
BO really has little support.

WaPo urges Odogma to stop $8Billion to bonus pay to insurance comps earning 3 or more stars
Medicare’s $8 billion advantageThe theory behind the change, according to administration officials, was to provide incentives to more plans to quickly improve their quality. It also had the political benefit of shielding services to seniors from being cut in an election year. But as both the GAO and the Medicare Payment Advisory Board have noted, the design and the national scope of the project make it impossible to measure whether it achieves better results than would have been obtained otherwise — that is, without spending $8 billion. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius should follow the GAO’s advice and cancel the bonus plan.

Nothing was really embargoed. The MSM couldn't stop most of the stuff from being discussed (which is why I hold Barky voters totally responsible for their America-hating votes) but they just squelched the discussion as soon as possible or provided an offensive diversion. But all the info on Barky was out for everyone to see. Nothing was hidden from anyone (except for actual documents and stuff, but we had to fight Noonan and the rest of the Vichy Right who thought we were too embarrassing in asking for what was merely required).
No, everyone knew. Pggy knew. Everyone saw Barky hold the biggest campaign rally of his anti-American campaign in a friggin foreign nation ... for friggin FOREIGNERS!! This is illegal and about the most repulsive political act one could commit in our system. This was not a secret. Barky should have been tossed from the American race right then and there. No one had any excuse for any support of the Indonesian Dog-Eating America-hater after that, if not doing the right thing and calling for Barky to be served charges and/or impeached for it. It was the most serious political criminality in American history. The most offensive, too.
And Nooner is still missing most of the stuff. That article isn't even close to anything. She's still two years behind (which puts her close on Krauthammer's heels, as he usually runs about a year and a half behind the obvious).
Nooner is scum.

And yet in a week Gallup has had a 12 point swing in favor of Barry and Rasumssen now has him up by 1. And even in Rasmussen Barry's at 48% approval. Republicans need to fight back, hard, against Barry or it won't matter worth a hill of beans how much Peggy has turned on him. Your average voter watches Lost and Sports Center and is more worried about JoePa's firing and Peyton Manning's new team than about the fate of the nation. If Jimmy Fallon tells him/her that Barry is awesome, Barry can actually be a cardboard box and it wouldn't matter. Your average voter bases his/her opinions on weighty matter on what he/she hears others say, not on what reasonable people who follow and think about current events would conclude. So if the economy is in the tank, Republicans need to hit that theme daily, in Charlie Rose's face, even if he's asking them a question about contraception -- not let pathetic growth numbers be spun by the media with no response. If Biden calls Romney a liar, Romney allies need to hit back hard and fast, and express outrage that a man of Biden's character, a man who would sell out his own religious faith, would dare question another man's character, and point out the miriad of lies Barry has told -- not silently let charges be leveled at Romney and stick to him with no response. Boehner should be pushing for a contempt of congress vote to be held against Holder, instead of aiding and abetting the media in their wildly successful effort to bury Fast and Furious. And Romney and his minions better start hitting back fast and furious themselves, on all issues, or all the thoughtful musings in the world by Peggy Noonan won't be able to save the country from the Republicans' reflex, fetal-position non-response to Democrat outrages.
