| Topic: Obama the Albatross | |

From the U.S. news:
Four weeks away from the 2014 midterm elections and even some Democratic operatives struggle to imagine a scenario where they retain control of the U.S. Senate. The terrain and current momentum seem all but overwhelming and against them...
"If you put a gun to my head, I guess I'd say that we're going to lose the Senate," one Democratic consultant told me in a moment of anonymous candor. It's not even so much that President Obama is an Ancient Mariner-esque Albatross around their necks, though he is. "I love the guy and I don't think there's anything he could do to fix it," the Democratic operative says, "but he's a real drag. But the bigger drag is the economy overall -- even though the economy is getting better, people aren't feeling it because wages are stagnant." The other issue is that many of the Democrats defending their seats in GOP-leaning states had a fresh new Obama in 2008 helping to sweep them into office -- and often then, just barely. The class of 2008 were a bunch of Obama babies -- and now that's working against them. How dare Fox News call President Obama an albatross! 
Oh, wait.  The above news quote is from CNN.
Also, did CNN just call Democrats "babies"?

A desperate media is doing their level best to rescue the 2nd term of the plummeting president. While the National Journal's Ron Fournier tries to raise liberal morale by bludgeoning the GOP - what he calls The Party of (Less than) Zilch - Yahoo News is trying another favorite media tactic: advise/plead with their political counterparts. Yahoo directs its sage advice to the big O himself: Do the one thing you have done well in the past (at least two times, anyhow): Campaign! Apparently Yahoo didn't follow some of Obama's latest campaign flops (see his gun control crash and burn). Regardless of his mounting failures and cratering approval numbers, Yahoo pleads with the Campaigner in Chief to get back on the road: The usual inside-the-Beltway doctors are offering the usual inside-the-Beltway prescriptions: Amputate! (He should fire someone.) Transfusion! (Bring new blood into his insular circle, ideally someone who can say no to him and have it count.) Inside the White House, one remedy dominates the discussion. As Obama himself said Nov. 14: Things may turn around if we can just get the darn website working and smooth this thing out. ... Dig a little more, and administration officials confess to hoping that a steadily improving economy could be a political cure-all... But there's something else Obama can do, something he's been generally regarded as doing well: Campaign. Get out there now, ahead of the 2014 midterm campaign, to highlight the differences between Democrats and Republicans on key issues that are not Obamacare. So a president with a 37% approval rating is going to turn around the midterm elections for a party crumbling under the weight of the Obamacare albatross (which now weighs in at a crushing 31% approval)? And that's before the next wave of cancellations (estimated to reach nearly 100 million) hits next fall. Good luck with that, Yahoo. http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/yahoo-news-begs-obama-get-back-campaign-trail-save-2nd-term |

The news today was that Obama was going to use executive order to close Gitmo and bring the bad guys to the US in order to fulfill a campaign promise.
Since Congress has passed a bill to prevent just such an action, it is being touted as the worst example of overreaching power yet! The Democrats are running for their lives as the news washes across the nation just before another election. One Democrat referred to the event as "Another gift to the Republicans". What is Obama thinking? |

Good luck with that, Yahoo. http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/yahoo-news-begs-obama-get-back-campaign-trail-save-2nd-term one never knows,, we have the low approval ratings for BOTH congress and OBama, with OBama still having 20 odd points more than congress so the 'low' when its put in perspective, may not be an indicator of a 'loss' |

I have a hard time accepting "the lesser of two evils" for my country when there are plenty of acceptable ones to be had when using a little common sense when voting who asked you to accept anything? common sense dictates that people research individuals and not parties,, when selecting an INDIVIDUAL to elect,,, but since polls and studies are so often indicators of popular opinion in politics,, they should be used in the correct correlation individual: individual or party: party not party: individual |
