Is the National Narrative On Obama Collapsing?
— Ace

I don't mean the media Narrative, I mean the public Narrative, what people tell themselves, the Conventional Wisdom people share.

I don't think the media will ever fall out of love with their Beloved -- he cheats and he lies, true, but it's nice to know there's a Bad Boy under that smooth, Nice Guy exterior -- but the national narrative might just.

Pollster Stu Rothenberg:

. ItÂ’s hard to overstate the potential significance of the past week. What we are witnessing is nothing less than a dramatic reversal of the nationÂ’s political narrative...

The danger for Obama, of course, is that many Americans will start to doubt his administration’s veracity and values. If that happens — and for now it is only a danger, not an inevitability — then the president could well turn into a serious liability for Democrats in next year’s elections.

An anonymous Democratic strategist wrote:

“The AP phone records thing just sealed the deal for what the newest narrative around the Obama administration is going to be. They are the new Nixon admin when it comes to bullying, withholding info and targeting enemies. The right won’t probably call him directly Nixon because you know, Nixon was a Republican, but it will be the basic idea. You will hear claims that there has never been an administration who reached so far to suppress information and dissent. While I don’t think this is actually the full truth, it is hard to not realize this is fully the fault of the administration that perception has gotten to this point."

McConnell had some advice for reporters which they'll ignore:

“Before taking a few questions,” McConnell said, “let me just add one thing. As you continue to file your stories on this subject, ask yourself before you write, how would I be writing this story if this were a Republican administration?”

Dennis Miller:

“Listen, a few more days like this — Obama’s going to claim he was born in Kenya just to get the heat off,” Miller said. “Listen, nothing is going to happen. Show’s over folks."

...

Miller said he suspected the AP angle will be the only thing that motivates the press to investigate the Obama administration because, unlike the other scandals, it impacts them personally.

“But when you tap an AP reporter’s phone line and find out how much they’re not getting laid, that’ll get the press P.O.’d. The rest of this is all smoke and mirrors. They don’t care about Benghazi. They don’t care about the IRS. They’ll feign a little indignation, but nobody’s going to go after this guy on that. To think he was tapping reporter’s phones — what a perfect symbiosis that they’re such ass-kissers and he’s someone who really just looks them in the eye and says ‘kiss my ass.’ It is beautiful, it is beautiful that they met each other on this planet.”

I agree. I've been annoyed at the AP and media trying to jockey for First Victim status, especially because you know they're just going to apologize to Obama for ever having suspected him by next week.

On the Me Front, I'm sneezing so hard I'm biting my tongue at the edges.

I wouldn't call myself a Hero.

Others might. But I shy away from such talk.

11 The right are already calling him Nixon. Most of the right doesn't do hero worship, especially "hero with feet of clay" worship. R's turned on Nixon, they turned on both Bushes (all for various reasons someone else will pointlessly go into at length). The left never really turned on Carter or Clinton in any great way, and they will continue to hold Obama in higher esteem than they should regardless of what happens. That being said, Obama is starting to lose his teflon coating.

16 Rep. Darrell Issa of California, chair of the House Oversight Committee, pressed much harder on Perez. He led off by playing a voicemail left by the nominee for a third party, asking Holder to respond. The use of the audio clip prompted a harsh response from Rep. Jackson Lee, who questioned his ability to do so. But the angriest response to Issa's pressing questions came from Holder. "The way you conduct yourself as a member of Congress," the attorney general told Issa, "is unacceptable and shameful."

The IRS invoked the “private benefit doctrine” barring 501(c)(4) status for any group promoting a candidate or political party. The IRS announced its final decision in May."
So we found one left wing group denied tax exempt status! That'll show those 500 tea party groups that there was no bias or targeting!!

I know its shallow and not the most important thing but the  myth or narrative that I want most broken is the notion that Obama is some  type of cool,  superior athlete.

46 ace don't mean to be repeative but this was my take on media this morning.

You assisted and allowed the Attack on a private citizen Joe The Plumber for responding to an idea The President stated , You disallowed the Opinion He shared with the public and then Used You power to try to destroy him? why speech you didn't like.



you outed gun owners..you colluded with a local govt .allowing personal information to be released not for committing a crime but that They Had a Right you disagreed with.

you've spent the last 4+ years calling speech and dissent not a right, but racism and using Your right to speech and opinion to threaten anyone that disagreed with the massive growth of govt.

I am cynical that all of the sudden you have found your regard for rights of citizens and your job as Journalists given special rights to share information . you only care that You were the ones gored when they decided to intrude on Your rights and your personal lives, You are not special anymore than Joe The Plumber, or any american citizen, we share the constitution It is our blessing from the Forefathers. for All of us.



I will repeat this ; as american citizens, we Share the constitution .It is our blessing from the Forefathers.. for All of us. And as despicable as You have behaved being a ideological political force instead of actually committing to the Job of Journalism , Truth :what , where , when , we will defend your right to exist and stand with You against those using govt resources to threaten, intimidate , and chill your right to speak freely .

I keep thinking back to that video somebody put together that showed Obama's campaign ad where he told everybody that the claims about him regarding "you didn't build that" weren't true - but also showed what he actually said, at the same time. It was an obvious, bold-faced lie about Obama's socialism, and about his contempt for what is commonly known as "the American Dream", and the whole purpose of that ad was to tell that lie.

 

 

If more people had seen it, maybe they wouldn't be so shocked at the constant stream of lies. They're pathological about it, and probably would feel downright uncomfortable actually telling the plain truth - even once.

History tells us that presidents suffer a sort of personality fatigue during their second term, i.e., the People get sick of their shit.

But Obama is different. This is a president who has a massive PR firm pumping and pimping and protecting his image.

What's more, that same behemoth PR firm is simulatenously running down the opposition. So, with Obama, the People don't see any viable alternative. Who are they gonna turn to, the Republicans?? No way; their image really sucks.

I enjoy the schadenfreude.... I really do.   This administration is unraveling.

But .... think a little further out.  The midterms are looming.  The Republicans cannot be portrayed as the evil obstructionists any longer.   IMHO .... most sane Americans are prolly up for a little obstruction at this point.

Think a little further out.  Obama sees himself as the Anti-Reagan.... big government is the fixer of all ills .... the provider of all happiness.  That narrative is shot to hell and back.   These scandals are a weight around his scrawny Kenyan neck and will destroy his legacy.  

He .... as of this week... is a dead lame duck.  His agenda is dead, Jim.

And.... to top ALL that off..... his overreach in the suppression of all who oppose him.... has united and emboldened what had been a diminishing influence of the Tea Party.

And finally.... the cherry at the top of all this Chocoshit Sundae????  He stabbed his loyal Praetorian Guard in the back.   The press is NOT amused.

No more cover.

Now that king stumble nuts is in there with all of his "experience" to run things, they seem to make it pretty easy for him to fuck things up beyond repair without question. Community Organizer. You know, something tells me he really didn't even do much of THAT. We tried to warn liberals of the colossal, monolithic catastrophe this 'administration' would be. Seems the only thing they are good at doing is explain how they didn't do anything when there is smoldering wreckage next to them and they still have the dynamite in their hands. This thing reminds me of that scene in Office Space were "The Bobs" are interviewing people on their roles in the company and one of them asks a guy "What.. What would you say.. you do here?"

"He applied for permanent non-profit status for a separate group called Greenhouse Solutions, a pre-existing organization that was reaching the end of its determination period.

The IRS approved Greenhouse Solutions' request for non-profit status in three weeks.

He's a narcissistic, malice-driven megalomaniac with grandiose, messianic delusions.

Tex Lovera posted this on the earlier IRS thread, but it's worth repeating here.   The MFM is pissed because Obammy's gone after THEM with the  AP thing.   So the White House is offering them an olive branch    by trying to revive the Media Shield law.

 

The Obama administration sought on Wednesday to revive legislation that would provide greater protections to reporters from penalties for refusing to identify confidential sources, and that would enable journalists to ask a federal judge to quash subpoenas for their phone records, a White House official said.

 

NYT link, so be warned: http://tinyurl.com/axbkqhb

 

The White house KNOWS that they are going down hard if they lose their media protection.   Don't expect them to just let that happen.   And the MFM is going to lap up any signs of affection their Boyfriend tosses their way and forgive him all his trespasses as a result.

186 Now, the 3rd amendment of the Constitution is very important to me, personally, and to Mrs. Bronco Bama, too.  We really value the constitution -- especially the Freedom from Religion, and the Right to Abortion.  So, I would never allow a Soldier, in time of peace, to be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. 

But, because you didn't build that house, and I am, of course, as your duly elected President and Prescriber of the law -- well, that makes me the Owner of your house, doesn't it?  I take my oath of office very seriously, unlike Republican Presidents.  So what I'm going to do is, if you're a teabagger, I'm going to give your house to my illegal immigrant relatives.  They need a place to stay, and they are soldiers, of sorts.

214 From the IRS instructions on 501(c)(4) applications: Social welfare.   To establish that your organization is organized exclusively to promote social welfare, you should submit evidence with your application showing that your organization will operate primarily to further (in some way) the common good and general welfare of the people of the community (such as by bringing about civic betterment and social improvements).

***Political activity.   Promoting social welfare does not include direct or indirect participation or intervention in political campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office. However, if you submit proof that your organization is organized exclusively to promote social welfare, it can obtain exemption even if it participates legally in some political activity on behalf of or in opposition to candidates for public office.

No, it was basically just a loss because of Republican turnout.

Romney stomped Obama in the debate, and raised plenty of money for plenty of ads.   But it didn't matter if your base doesn't get to the polls.

Had the same base showed up for Romney that did for Bush in 2004, Romney would have won in a near-landslide.

Bush actually LOST the independent vote to Kerry, but enough Republicans overcame the deficit.  Romney won independents by about 5 points.  It should have been 53-47 for Romney.

And people need to stop talking about every fake issue.  If you can't name "turnout" as one of the biggest factors for why we lost, you don't understand how elections work.  It had far more to do with Romney's loss than the debates which everyone including Democrats would agree Obama almost got his head handed to him.

Our side blew it on getting voters to the polls.  I honestly place most of that blame on Republican voters, more so than the Romney campaign.  Who sat out this election because they didn't get bugged enough by campaign spam?

240 By not forcing an early vote on impeachment, NixonÂ’s allies made a tremendous mistake.  In addition to winning the vote, the Republicans could have turned impeachment into a party issue which might have allowed Nixon to remain in office and blame the Democrats for harassing him, But in the summer of 1973 the White House couldnÂ’t imagine that Watergate would end in the downfall of the president.

241 247.

I agree, and what's sad is what Nixon did seems so trivial with what's happening today.  It was basically the equivalent of hacking into an opponents' email, and he didn't even know about it or order it. 

Still, Republicans should not go down the impeachment road.  They don't have the votes and it will almost certainly blow back on them the way it did with Clinton.  It's going to be viewed like the Scott Walker recall.

Does Obama deserve impeachment?  Yes, he's a 3rd world thug.  But unless you have the smoking gun of all smoking guns, it's stupid politically and will only empower Obama.

243 "Heck, for 4 1/2 years we've had an empty chair sock puppet duffer who admits to not knowing anything about anything that matters anyway." Posted by: Bronco Bama at May 15, 2013 04:47 PM You know what's really sad? The Washington press corps demanded that the empty chair talking to Clint Eastwood at the convention take more responsibility for the role it was supposed to be playing on stage than they've ever once expected the man the chair was imitating to take for the job he's supposed to be doing in the Oval Office.

244 After the midterms, if the Republicans can take back the Senate, and get a super majority in the House, anything becomes possible. Special Prosecutors. Monumentous hearings. Who knows, impeachment. Elections matter.

245 Obamas core can't even spell correctly in their facebook meme's. That's similar to holding up a giant neon sign the reads "RETARDED". But hell, the same people don't even NOTICE they are holding that sign. Nothing will sway them from worshiping their idol. This country's swirl down the bowl will only speed up unless we can somehow get grumpy cat to unfuck them.
