Obama is a heck of a salesman…
Like I said about Palin before, demographics, demographics….
Although there is much talk of “green shoots”, most observers seem to concur that high unemployment is here to stay for quite a long time. That the number of white, working poor is growing exponentially and that this group, very large although unhyphenated, with all of its former left wing populist fervor long since extirpated, is bereft of any ideology except charismatic Christianity; with its critical faculties dulled to disappearance by a brutish corporate entertainment culture and drugged with sentimental, xenophobic patriotism and with nowhere to go except toward racism and paranoia.
These people have no defense against globalization and the new technologies except fear and resentment. And having an African-American in the White House has destroyed the last citadel of their precarious, tattered and battered self-esteem: the thought that, no matter how far down they were, there was someone they could look down on… black people.
BO has zero chance of looking good with the economic deterioration coming. The only defense will be Bush started it. In his defense nothing could have stopped it. However, it would have been nice to see somebody stop the looting. I suspect at some point he will have to turn on his wall street backers to save face. If you wanna see how that turns out google “business plot” to see what was plotted against FDR.
Somebody, is going to have to pay, politically, for the monumental failure and projections for the stimulus.
He way, way oversold himself. Rush limbaugh is school-girl giddy with excitement..

July 12, 2009 at 11:35 AM #428614briansd1GuestComparing Rush to Barrack is like comparing El Cajon to Del Mar.
I’m all for relative value and what you get for your money, but in this case, there’s no need to waste time.

July 12, 2009 at 11:38 AM #428624briansd1Guest[quote=scaredycat]besides the opiate problem, i wonder if people generally would be prejudiced against a fat candidate. when was the last fat president? hasn’t it been a long while? I’d be interested in some reserach of the body fat index of presidents going back to george wash. was the last really corpulent prez back in the 1800’s? i think nowadays people (rightly or wrongly) tend to associate fat with being out of control. also, in terms of dying i office, mccain was probably more likely statistically to make it to the end of his term without spending a good amount of time in a coronary care facility than rush. not sure about the stats on that though, but im sure it would be in the voters subconscious. the fat, the serious drugs, tend to show a guy who cannot control his imuplses, which is okay with me personally, i like party people, just think america would rather have a toned, controlled black guy than fat, wild white guy in 2012. this sint the 1800s and fat is our national touchstone for character.[/quote]
I would not vote for a fat president.
Anyone who is fatter than the standard body mass index is irresponsible in my opinion. And that’s being generous.
The BMI for Europeans or Asians would be a more appropriate standard.
