Oh please. Obama is done. At this point his emperor's new clothes have been stripped away. Obama does anything and everything for purely political reasons
Look at the Bush tax cut extension decision. He sold out the democrats who supported him thru thick and thin. He has infuriated the far left. Why? because the one thing that all current officers want is re-election. Obama knows damned well if he stayed on the course most desired by the far left wing of the democrat party, he was DOOMED in 2012.
Now his most trusted companions in the House have thrown Obama under a bus.
Not only has the democrat party thoroughly fucked themselves for the 2012 elections, they have put Obama's chances in grave danger as well.
Let's rewrite that for historical context and see if it holds up, circa December 1994:
Oh please. Clinton iis done. At this point his emperor's new clothes have been stripped away Clinton does anything and everything for purely political reasons. Look at the NAFTA decision. He sold out the democrats who supported him thru thick and thin. He has infuriated the far left. Why? because the one thing that all current officers want is re-election. Clinton knows damned well if he stayed on the course most desired by the far left wing of the democrat party, he was DOOMED in 1996.
Now his most trusted companions in the House have thrown Clinton under a bus.
Not only has the democrat party thoroughly fucked themselves for the 1996 elections, they have put Clinton's chances in grave danger as well.
That's exactly what they said about Clinton in 1994. Doomed! Done! And that's because the same people that didn't understand triangulation then don't understand it now, either.
Of course, they couldn't have been more wrong about Clinton in 1994. He went on to absolutely crush Dole in 1996.
Clinton never had a 40% approval rate and never had to deal with a crushing recession. Clinton did float the socialized medicine trial balloon. He read the tea leaves correxctly and quickly backed off the plan. That alone saved his re-election bid. In his second term Clinton listened to his advisors who told him to leave the economy alone. The result was an economic boom.
Very different this Obama person. He is so far in the big water, he is clueless. He has no idea what to do. Obama has an economic room temperature IQ. His domestic policies are so all over the place, his liberal base has left him.
Obama is not even Clinton's pinky finger.
Clinton had to show up at the WH press briefing room today to lend support for Obama's tax plan. I heard Clinton's chat to the press. He sounded like a fiscal conservative. Imagine that.
Even Bill Clinton knows that liberalism and socialism do not work.
Here's the Gallup history of Clinton's favorability just FYI.
