Thoughts & Commentary on the Obama Administration

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Eh, you gotta know Obama is going to win reelection. His base is disaffected now, wait until full political season. The incumbent always has the advantage.

Obama continues his attack on the working class people of Las Vegas.

I'm loving that mayor! With the 2010 election season rolling around, I'm sure he won't be the last Democrat to tell the Failure in Chief to stay the hell away...

Couple that with the fact that the economy is likely to come out of recession in the coming year and it seems quite likely. I'm not 100% sure on him winning re-election, but I'd put my money on it.

The economy is already out of recession. And the Republican Party has spent the duration of that recession opposing the measures which ended it.

You reap what you sow, RNC.

I'm surprised that the people of Las Vegas, the "Entertainment Capital of the World", are offended by what Obama said. It wasn't even an insult. Of course, the Republican Party is just in a froth about it because they can smell blood on Harry Reid's Seat in the Senate. No real politics to see here folks.

Although I did lol when I saw

Disappointed in the President

The economy is already out of recession.

That's fair, and a lot of very smart people would agree with you. However, until unemployment drops, it's going to feel like a recession in full swing. And nobody is sure when hiring will pick back up. So how the recent recession is going to impact the '10 and '12 elections is ... questionable. Nobody really knows.

It was saying companies should not go to Las Vegas and waste their money there. That means the people who work their have a lot less work to do, and so people get fired or laid off.

They're are quite understandably offended because Obama is saying it's bad for companies to employ their services; it's bad for those workers to have jobs in that industry.

Yikes. That line is so completely divorced from reality, even for a master salesman like O, it may just be a talking point too far.

Its usually pretty easy for politicians to confuse the unwashed over complex economics, but promising 8% and delivering 10% isn't hard to comprehend.

Just our of curiosity, PJ, do you believe America has had a worse president than Obama? If so, who?

Rhetorical?

[Lemur]

No, a serious question. Your rhetoric on Obama is so negative, I'm wondering if you think him the absolute worst, or if there is room for lower. You're not required to answer anything you don't want to, of course.

-edit-

To clarify -- knowing just how low you rank Obama would be instructive. Worse than Harrison? Worse than Buchannan? Or is he more mid-list? It's impossible to get a sense of what you actually think of him, since your points about him are universally negative. Not much information there. And based on your posts in the Liberal Fascism thread, you appear to believe that rhetorical extremity is perfectly legitimate as a corrective, so I can't begin to get a sense of what you actually believe.
