TURN LEFT...NO!...YOUR OTHER LEFT!


President Obama and the Democrats are like scrambled eggs right now after the results of the Senate race in Massachusetts. All across the liberal universe, television, radio, blogs, print, you name it the message is all garbled in transmission. The election loss is blamed on everything from George Bush to Martha Coakley being a pathetic candidate and somewhere out there, (and I have not found it yet but I know it's there), Global Warming! Folks this is reality TV at its best. For drama and comedy you can't beat it. It was a real hoot watching Chris Mathews on "Hardball" delve into the aspect that Massachusetts just doesn't elect women candidates no matter what party affiliation they are. Wednesday Nancy Pelosi was still moving on with Health Care. Thursday...well maybe not. The nuke option is on the table...Obama says no, wait until Scott Brown is seated. Woody, over at "Sanity Sentinel", nailed it when he said from now on President Obama will speak a little slower to us... so we will have time to understand what he's trying to sell. Remember, most Americans are not as smart as liberals. Obama admits he lost sight of that...just assumed we would understand. Well after one year in office it's pretty clear that Obama is the one who doesn't understand. Robert, at "Wise Conservatism" posted an article about the Obama "magic" wearing off on America and indeed it has. Realization that this man has serious challenges facing him that personality and magic alone cannot help. Unemployment and the economy have a way of wrecking ideology and can make the going rough for a "not ready for prime time player" of either party.

Democrats can spin it any way they want and it's to be expected but they see what a whipping their candidate took in the bluest of blue states. Political pundits are now saying Obama will take a lesson from Bill Clinton's playbook and turn his fortunes around in this second year. Well here's a news flash: Obama ain't no Clinton, not even close. His Chicago style politics won't fool anyone and the more Obama speaks the more hollow his words sound. As much as I disliked Clinton, Ole Slick Willy had a certain devious charm about him that hit a chord with the population and allowed him to stay popular. Not so with Obama. The chords he's hitting now are playing one and done!

  1. I like the musical analogy, EJ. I view it more like Obama playing on a badly out of tune instrument, though. While his fingers never betray him, and as he wails the frets with calm confidence, the awful sound emitted is lost on the performer alone.

    The audience is left cringing in revulsion at the audio assault.

  2. Woody, that is one of the most articulate thoughts on what is going on, that I have heard. Great one. As for this post Joe, you have nailed it, and thanks for the link. It seems as of now, that we are winning this war of ideas, but, we have to keep our attention on them because as I said in my latest post, they are too lazy to change anything, but the way they work to get what they want. And what they want is ALWAYS the same.

    You have a true gift with words. You should take that comment and expand on your blog. It brings to mind many of the unfortunate rejects on "American Idol".

    For sure they will be at it again. I look for them to play the obstructionist card quite often in the year 2010. Give the appearance of bi-partisanship but never meeting in the middle.

  5. Thanks guys, I appreciate the kudos. EJ is a great catalyst for critical thought and analysis. I think it is precisely why we all do what we do.

    EJ, I never even considered the "Idol" aspect of my comment, but you are right. There just may be a "seed" there.

  6. "Obama ain't no Clinton" - quoting EJ

    "ain't" isn't a real word.
