Those Media Hysterics Who Said Obama's Presidency Was Dead Were Wrong. Again.

[sheshe2]

Sigh~ They keep trying to bet against President Obama.



It’s been a pretty good week for the Obama administration. The bungled healthcare.gov Web site emerged vastly improved following an intensive fix-it push, allowing some 25,000 to sign up per day, as many as signed up in all of October. Paul Ryan and Patty Murray inched toward a modest budget agreement. This morning came a remarkably solid jobs report, showing 203,000 new positions created in November, the unemployment rate falling to 7 percent for the first time in five years, and the labor force participation rate ticking back upward. Meanwhile, the administration’s push for a historic nuclear settlement with Iran continued apace.

Still, it seems safe to say that the Obama presidency is not, in fact, over and done with. What, you say, was there any question of that? Well, yes, there was – less than a month ago. On November 14, the New York Times raised the “K” word in a front-page headline:

President Obama is now threatened by a similar toxic mix. The disastrous rollout of his health care law not only threatens the rest of his agenda but also raises questions about his competence in the same way that the Bush administration’s botched response to Hurricane Katrina undermined any semblance of Republican efficiency.

A day later, Dana Milbank gave an even blunter declaration of doom in the Washington Post:

There may well be enough time to salvage Obamacare.

But on the broader question of whether Obama can rebuild an effective presidency after this debacle, it’s starting to look as if it may be game over.

Silly, silly media bores or are they just media whores to their masters. It's Obama Fail 24/7 ad nauseum!

You have failed to know the man that you are betting against. Your loss! NOW STFU and let the adult in the room do his job.

Back to the sandbox boys and girls, Shoo, Shoo I say. The adults are talking.

1. These wise souls also proclaimed that he would never get nominated

If nominated wouldn't get elected.

Would never get health care passed.

That the Supreme Court would find it unconstitutional.

The Boston Red Socks would never win the World Series.

The United States would bomb Iran.

Obama would keep troops in Iran.

And so on.

What is so amazing is that they keep bringing back talking heads that literally haven't been right on a major issue in this century.

If they simply stopped listening to all of those that were 100% sure that we would find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq it would improve the quality of discussions on broadcast media by 100%.

Just like Mandela, in 30 years that they all agreed with the President 90% of the time.

32. As I had to remind someone in the Lounge recently who shortchanged President Obama:

"....change HAS come. The effects won't be realized in full force immediately, but that's because in President Obama we have a top chess player, not a brute force boxer. I rather favor the first style, not because I shrink from confrontation either, but because it simply works better. I say that with full acknowledgment that I myself am a natural born shin kicker. I have my role to fulfill, he has his own. Some GOP haven't quite caught on yet that we DO have single payer now; the great state of Vermont! Trust me, that's just the beginning. I don't like it any better than President Obama does, but the fact remains that big ships turn slow. He's far more a revolutionary than would appear at first glance."

[hopemountain]

34. you tell 'em, irishayes

[sheshe2]

36. Exactly, Irish.

It takes time. Nothing happens overnight.

I love your analogy of the big ship turning slowly. The mammoth ship comes slow to port, yet she turns. As does Obamacare, she is huge, she is turning and she damn will change our future.

9. Thank you, merrily.

I appreciate your courtesy.

[grantcart]

29. appreciate your consideration

[freshwest]

3. Uff dah! Can't find that Bablylonsister or someone's pic of PBO that said:

'Shhh! Adults are speaking.'

I know I commented on it and saved it, but can't find it!!!

[sheshe2]

4. I hate when that happens, freshwest!

I just tried a search at DU for it, but alas, no luck~

It's true though. The children do need to leave the room, they have been throwing at tantrum for far to long. It's time to go to the corner and sit it out. The media and Repukes have become recalcitrant children. They try to bully everyone.

I call time out and go to your rooms, they may return if and when you wish to have an adult conversation.

Hugs, sweets, and thank you!

[freshwest]

8. Yes and hugs back at you. And it's been chilly all day, thanks for the tip about the door. It's in

the teens at night and barely up above that right now. But it's supposed to stay a few more days, dry and cold, then get wet but above freezing. Hurray!!!

[sheshe2]

10. Yeah!

The best draft stopper ever! Glad it helped.

Cold here too, some snow on my car when I went to work. We may get flurries again tonight and rain and snow Monday.

Brrrr....

freshwest, stay warm~

11. StricklyRockers has it below in this thread, fresh~

[freshwest]

12. All right! And it's good news, too:

[Cha]

14. Perfect face

for it.

5. "Game Over!" says known US mediawhore, Dana Milbank!!

They never get tired of being WRONG.. they're paid to be Wrong .. hoping it at least brainwashes a few readers.

Lets remember it was the NYT that was instramenatal in leading our country into the Bombing of Iraq.. based on judy miller bullshit.

Thanks a lot for the OP, she~ I can't get to the link yet.. it's frozen but I'll post this and go back to it! Bam

[sheshe2]

7. Damn!

I just spent 30 minutes with a great response to merrily, then I checked here before I posted it and BAM!
They deleted there post~

So yeah, game over for the aliens in your clip. I loved those movies.

Thanks Cha!

[sheshe2]

21. PS, Cha

That clip.

Guess who saved their asses at the end of the movie. It was the Woman. It was Ripley.

[Cha]

27. That's right! Game was NOT Over.

[StrictlyRockers]

6. Yo, STFU nattering naybobs of negativism.

Yeah, I know it's a Spiro Agnew quote. I'm using it anyway. IDGAF ATM.

[sheshe2]

13. Love it!

Thanks, StrictlyRockers~

[freshwest]

16. Thanks for the pic! When I had enough a while back, I changed my sig to add:

Yeah, I can see you now...

[Cha]

15. Which reminds me, she.. I love

that face PBO has on for your, OP. Kind of a sweet all knowing look.

[freshwest]

17. Guy I used to work with said when his teenage kids were raising hell:

"What am I gonna do with 'em?"

And he answered himself:

"Just love 'em. You gotta love 'em."

[Cha]

19. Perfect answer, fresh! Good advice and

one to always remember.

[sheshe2]

18. So true Cha, a sweet and knowing look...

and he damn well knows, it's a gottcha look.

~ gotta go

[Cha]

20. His gotcha look, eh..

G'nite, she~

[sheshe2]

26. Yup!

And sweet dreams to you~

[IrishAyes]

33. Cat in the cream. Canary feathers in the corner of his mouth. Well, I see 'em!

Maybe he's thinking about Vermont going SINGLE PAYER and how it will lead the nation and put the lie to those who claimed he betrayed us and buckled under! I had to tell someone about that in the Lounge who apparently missed the bulletin. We've got a master chess player, not a brute force boxer. Like it or not, big ships turn slow. President Obama is far more a revolutionary than his enemies realize. He's over here, stop him - no, wait, over there! - stop him! Wait, where'd he go? How'd he get over the finish line before we even noticed?

[freshwest]

24. Gotta go, too. Sweet dreams in Boston!

Boston Cream Pie History:

Cooks in New England and Pennsylvania Dutch regions were known for their cakes and pies and the dividing line between them was very thin. This cake was probably called a pie because in the mid-nineteenth century, pie tins were more common than cake pans. The first versions might have been baked in pie tins. Boston Cream Pie is a remake of the early American"Pudding-cake pie."

1856 - The Parker House Hotel (now the Omni Parker House Hotel), claims to have served Boston cream pies since their opening in 1856. French chef Sanzian, who was hired for the opening of the hotel, is credited with creating Boston cream pie. This cake was originally served at the hotel with the names Chocolate Cream Pie or Parker House Chocolate Cream Pie. This was the first hotel in Boston to have hot-and-cold running water, and the first to have an elevator...

1996 - The Boston Cream Pie was proclaimed the official Massachusetts State Dessert on December 12, 1996. A civics class from Norton High School sponsored the bill. The pie beat out other candidates, including the toll house cookie and Indian pudding.

25. Boston Cream pie!

So good. So sweet~

And the Parker House! You hit some key notes in Boston, freshwest.

Sweet dreams~

[bhikkhu]

22. Not to mention, US exports hit another record high last month

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303997604579237761389959526

Which is pretty remarkable, if you live in a RW-dominated area and the people around you are convinced that the recession just keeps getting worse, the US economy is on the verge of complete collapse, and the damage Obama has done may not be fixable, ever.

[ailsagirl]

23. Well done, Mr. President!!

[Drunken Irishman]

30. Didn't they write off his presidency after the midterms in 2010?

About that...

[IrishAyes]

31. They wrote off the Obama presidency before it even got started. Fools.

[hopemountain]

35. how i wish that just once the president

would say "stfu, adults are talking"

but, he has too much integrity.

[sheshe2]

37. LOL!

Yeah, me too hopemountain. Yet it will only happen in our dear sweet dreams!
