How's that HopeyChangey™ Workin' Out for Ya?
rat run
Barack Obama is being politically crushed in a vise.
...the White House is in over its head, isolated, insular, arrogant and clueless about how to get along with or persuade members of Congress, the media, the business community or working-class voters.
Beck? Rushbo? ...not so much: Mark Hlaperin in Time. Who can also bring himself to say:
Most of Obama’s private (and sometimes public) rebuttals to the voices slamming him on all sides are justified or spot on. He did inherit a lot of problems from the Bush Administration. He did act quickly in the initial weeks of his Administration to stave off a worldwide depression. His efforts at job creation have been obstructed by Republicans (even the proposals based on policies supported by the GOP in the past). His opponents haven’t put forth specifics of their own, nor offered genuine compromise, while the media have allowed the right’s activists and gabbers to run wild with criticism without furnishing legitimate alternative solutions.
[/The Narrative]
But Obama has exacerbated his political problems not just by failing to enact policies that would have actually turned the economy around, but also by authorizing a series of tactical moves intended to demonize Republicans and distract from the problems at hand.
Yeah. Some Many Those who aren’t stoned or dead have noticed…
85 percent of Americans are either angry about the economy or at least dissatisfied with it, [ survey, produced for ABC and Yahoo! News by Langer Research Associates]
Interesting how someone still clinging to the “Rethuglican = Obstructionist”, “Keynesian Economics Work”, “Progressive = Progress” memes finds himself compelled to call the Present Administration “in over its head, isolated, insular, arrogant and clueless.”
