Obama’s greatness shines through on first day

[felix]

As I aid prior to the election, too many folks have bought into BO as savior. I don’t know if it’s was wilfull ignorance on their part of BO’s past or because of their blind hate of W but this election was like watching a B-horror movie where the actors (voters) do the least rational things.

Unfortunately, we may now have elected the least vetted and least experienced man ever to sit in the oval office.

These voters ignored BO’s lack of judgment and ability to assess character prior to the election. We have a guy with close ties to; Rezko, Ayers, Rev. Wright and Blago.

That should have been enough to make everybody very wary of his judgment but unfortunately his judgment just continues to be questionable with the nominations of: Hillary (Sec of State), Geitner(Treasury), Duncan (Education), and the appointment of Emmanuel to head his staff.

Rezko, the convicted felon, was not just a BO acquaintance but a political mentor, business partner and lets not forget, next door neighbor. And the details of BO’s Rezko facilitated home purchase stink, particularly, when you include that none other than our illustrious Governor’s wife’s firm handled the real estate purchase.

Of course that is no surprise because Blago and BO are joined at the hip, courtesy of Rezko, who started both in politics. After Blago’s arrest BO talked about two types of politicians, the good (him) and the bad (Blago) but if Blago was so different and so reprehensible to BO, why was BO the first Illinois pol to endorse Blago, not once, but twice!

Is was common knowledge among Illinois pols what type of guy Blago was even before his first election as Governor. So why would BO endorse him not once, but twice?

As far as openness, the WH press corp has already complained about a lack of openness and responsiveness to questions, not only from WH staff but from BO himself who has taken to lecturing media types, many of whom are so in love with BO they won’t do their jobs. Apparently BO thinks he, not the media, should control from whom, when and what is asked about his administration.

That shouldn’t be a surprise since BO booted folks from his campaign plane if he didn’t like what they wrote. Also we got a good taste of how open he would be when this Blago stuff I warned folks here about blew up. BO and Emmanuel have declined to discuss anything about it. Like when Rev. Wright came to pass BO prefers to lecture on a subject,(in Wright’s case it was racism, in Blago’s case it was corrupt pols), instead of answering mediaquestions.

As for even even closer BO/Blago ties, who was hand picked by Blago to fill his congressional seat after his election as Illinois Governor?

Rahm Emmanuel.

felix: I don’t know if you listened to either Katie Couric or Chris Mathews during the inauguration ceremony, but it was enough to make you retch.

While Chris was slightly over-the-top in his usual bloviating, pointlessly anecdotal sort of way, Katie was as breathless as a schoolgirl and utterly enraptured. It’s not the sycophantic nonsense that I find so offensive, it’s the fact that none of these so-called journalists are doing their jobs.

While the claims of a left-leaning bias are often jeered at, one has to wonder how the Rezko/Wright/Ayers connections would have been handled if they had to do with McCain. Sarah Palin was absolutely excoriated by certain female members of the media for a having a teenage daughter who was pregnant.

Talk about a double standard.

LMFAO! This thread is hilarious. Republicans used to be good at politics but you guys are now wandering around in the wilderness like a lost puppy.

Let me try and help you guys out. Most Americans don’t give a rat’s about Rezko, Ayers, or any other obscure person who once knew Obama in grade school. I had actually forgotten who these people were and had to think for a while to remember. Then it came to me, Rezko was that land-deal guy (right?) and Ayers was the preacher that right-wing nut jobs have glommed on to in an attempt to bring down Obama’s 70% approval rating. It ain’t going to work because most Americans (like me) have already forgotten who these guys are. If right-wing nut jobs are still bringing up these characters in 2012 when Obama has an 80% approval rating, I expect Obama to win all of the electoral votes. Republicans won’t win one state.

Let me tell you what Americans do care about:
(1) A level economic playing field. Obama is moving with amazing speed to level the economic playing field. His work in this area can only raise his already amazingly high approval rating.

(2) Intelligent prosecution of the ‘War on Terror’. Obama is de-emphasizing Iraq and focusing on Afghanistan. Most Americans think this is the right move.

Anyhoo, I’ll let you righties get back to discussing irrelevant things. I look forward to Republicans receiving about 10% of the vote in 2012.

Breeze: Okay, let’s discuss your two items, shall we?

1) Level economic playing field? How, exactly? And I mean EXACTLY? Through regulation? Better oversight? Give us the facts, man, give us the facts! The plan that Obama is executing was written by Paulson! I’m curious, was there substantial regulation and oversight in place during Clinton’s tenure? You may want to research that one before answering, especially the part about how much of the dot.com wealth was made and who made it (see Frank Quattrone and CSFB, for example).

2) How is Obama “de-emphasizing” the war in Iraq? The combat phase of the war has been over for a while now and plans to augment US forces in Afghanistan have been in motion ever since NATO dropped the ball there a year ago. And, as you yourself have said, these things take time, right? You don’t just move combat brigades in a couple of weeks. The plans for both Iraq and Afghanistan pre-date Obama and by a considerable period.
