— Ace Red Alert Media spells the tactic out.
Does this sound familiar?1) There is an important problem that requires Congress and the President to act. (entitlement reform, viable budget, sequestration, fiscal cliff, debt limit hike, etc.)
2) House Republicans propose and pass a bill with what they consider a good solution to the problem.
3) President Obama and Senate Democrats realize it is easier to attack the Republican plan than propose their own, so they refuse to propose a real bill.
4) President Obama delivers several campaign-like speeches filled with strawmen portraying Republicans as unreasonable, uncaring and somehow responsible for a lack of solution.
5) No permanent solution is achieved.
It should. This cycle has been repeated on every major issue that has come up since Republicans took over the House in 2011.
Even a liberal like Ron Fourier, while, of course, mostly blaming Republicans, actually notices that Obama is president and the buck should, at some point, stop with him.
If it’s all about politics, bully for Obama. A majority of voters will likely side with the president over Republicans in a budget dispute because of his popularity and the GOP’s pathetic approval ratings.If it’s about governing, the story changes: In any enterprise, the chief executive is ultimately accountable for success and failure. Sure, blame Congress — castigate all 535 lawmakers, or the roughly half you hate. But there is only one president.
But did he beat Tiger? That's the main thing.
[Update - Andy] Rather than pushing the boss's post down with this like I almost did, I'll just graft it on.
Obama on sequestration: "I don't know why it is in this town, folks leave stuff until the last minute"

All that is missing here is the designation of a bogeyman and the fightin that he's going to do for you against that bogeyman.
Meanwhile, the economy's in the shitter, gas and grocery prices are through the roof, there are millions still funemployed, the MidEast is on fire, there are Russian subs off our coast, our rights are under assault, ad infinitum.
You'd think that after a few years of this, the LIV's would catch on.

Then you're calling for Obama to rule as dictator for the next four years.
There's an argument for that, I believe its initials are "LIB"; but you should know what you're asking for.

In the early days of our country the cultural/educational gap between the political class and low-information class was similar to today's in say, vocabulary, but the gap was much smaller when it came to business sense, common sense, and hands-on problem solving.
The gap has grown, obviously. I blame professional politicians.

He lives with FOUR fucking women, his mother in law, his wife and his two daughter. When he tries to fuck Mochelle it's on camera for the Secret Service so he pretends it's Reggie and moves.

Getting away for a little quiet sex with Reggie has got to calm him down.

I think it's a combination of modern technology making life at least tolerable for nearly the entire population, combined with the inability of the masses to understand the long-term difference between Obama-level growth rates of 2% and the 3% the economy could be growing at under a more Reaganesque set of policies.
Put that alleviation of most of life's true hardships together with that ignorance of the compounding effects of stagnation and you get the era of Obama. Notice that "socialism" and "collectivism" really never got any play before the industrial revolution, precisely because the levels of laziness those ideologies enable would have gotten an individual dead right quick under those less-advanced conditions.

You think that guy shoots bogey golf? That guy? If he's broken a hundred at anytime in his life it was from the lady's tee, or at Putt-Putt.
Not really no. That's why I said 'one in five, at best'....which is most certainly not someone who "shoots bogey golf".
And considering how much time he spends on the course and at lessons, I decided to be extremely generous...because that's just how I fucking roll.

There isn't gonna be any change in his tactics until he is met by an opponent who ridicules him with fact and calls a spade a spade ( no pun intended).
In other words some Republican is gonna have to openly and publicly castigate him as the race baiting, class mongering, epic failure that he is and do so citing some pertinent and obvious facts. Then that person will have to endure the wrath of the MSM and reiterate that claim EVERY TIME he or she is questioned about it
Once his character and "intelligence" is attacked his vanity will not allow him to back off. He will become emotional and reactive like the juvenile dumbass he really is.

The GOP need to stop thinking like lawyers and accountants, and need to start thinking like agitprop revolutionaries. Think like Andrew Breitbart.
In this case, force them to live down their own promises. A classic AB move.
Boehner should call a press conference. On the sidewalk outside the White House. (All such press conferences should be here. Get in the enemy's territory.) And say:
"The President said in his State of the Union address that he had a long list of policy proposals and that they all together would 'not add a single dime' to the deficit. Those are the President's specific words, 'not a single dime'."
"In that speech, the President proposed, by my rough count, 29 *new* federal programs. Plus expansions of existing federal programs."
"So what I'm here today to do is very simple. I am here to ask the President to show me a budget that adds 29 new programs, expands existing programs, and doesn't increase the deficit by, again in his words, 'one single dime'."
"And I will be coming back here to wait outside the White House fence every day until the President comes out here and hands me the budget he says he has that does the things he says it will."
Put the onus on them. Do it publicly and loudly.

nicest hotel I ever stayed at under 500 bucks was the Holiday in on the shore in Montreal....
classy as all get out...not even counting the working girls propositioning me and Ms 10077
worst hotel I ever stayed in more than 15 bucks was also a Holiday Inn in Detroit.....
The Marriott Suite at Stone Mtn GA was pretty nice....

Well, it's less fun than setting them on fire (Fire! FIRE!!) but that's actually a pretty reasonable precaution. I dealt with my first bedbug attack following a night's stay at a shithole hotel prior to this past Dragon Con. I was paranoid as hell that I brought them home and had infected my own bed or couch upon seeing multiple welts appear in the 1x3 patterns on my arms and legs. I did read that it may take up to 10 days for them to appear, though.

When I travel-- checklist.
Make sure room is near ice machine/ elevator
Make sure room is on upper floors, so I can waste time waiting for elevators. Being late to meetings is no big deal.
Make sure hot water is not working in shower, saves time in the early a.m. - no need for coffee.
Make sure hotel "neighbors" have crying infants and/or nymphomania or violent arguements.
Make sure to call for a wake-up call and set the alarm.
Neither will happen.
etc. etc. Isn't travel stimulating ?

You go to the buffets on that end of the strip? Good Lord, why do you want to pay that kind of money for a buffet?
Even when I had money I cringed and walked away from those things.

We hadn't been to Vegas in years. We went to the icky buffet exactly once.
On the other hand, we took my husband's top IT guy and his girlfriend to Wolfgang Puck's "Cut" and spent $800 on dinner for four. Ridiculous.

Any time I traveled alone with our son from Chicago to Kiawah Island, SC, I always stayed at the Marriott Courtyard in Lexington, KY. As a woman traveling alone with a little boy, having the security of inside only doors was important.
The warm, fresh-baked cookies at the check in desk were a plus!

Me too, same check list. Shit I almost wrote a flame on your ass till I figured out the snarc.
You forgot check carpet to make sure it smells like vomit.
Although, the upper floors are a must in a city. Quieter and no thugs can get to you. Why do you think the elite levels are on the top?
Posted by: Billy Bob, Pseudo Intellectual at February 20, 2013 07:13 PM (wR+pz)
Back in 90's, a guy killed his GF in a budget motel in eastbay San Francisco area.
Put her body between mattress and floor, inside the wooden box platform.
Guy checked out and drove 100 miles away. He ultimately walked into a PD and confessed.
Cops had to go to the room and wake up the new "guests", consisting of a poor guy and his girlfriend in bed. I guess that they had to advise the couple that there might be a third "guest" in the room with them. Below them.
There was. Even after housekeeping had done their thing before their arrival.

Look a little deeper and you're likely to discover it's the Democrat Party propaganda arm - the media - doing their part to sway the low-information types via misdirection, omission, covering Obie's ass outright, and painting his opposition in as bad a light as possible. That's how a pathetic piece of shit like Obie can manage to be considered to be "popular". Where the GOP's approval ratings are concerned, the RINOs in its ranks bear a lot more responsibility for that.

It's like he thought once he was elected, it was all perks and prestige without any work. Leading from behind is just abdicating responsibility. I can't wait until he is gone and we get a grown up in the office again. I also hope that this little powerplay costs him on immigration and the rest of his pathetic legacy.
