A non partisan look at Obama and primaries

[Dr Grump]

Obama's fall from favour has been steep and fast

 

[Lumpy 1]

So.. ah... where's the non partisan look..?

 

[Charles_Main]

Non Partisan my ass lol.

Pure partisanship from start to finish.

That Barack Obama is a smart man is not contestable. Super-intelligent, articulate and self-assured, America's first black president is every bit the erudite statesman acclaimed worldwide.

lol

He has never released his grades so we really don't know. We do know that he is very articulate when he reads from his teleprompters. What's intriguing and not related to the article is that employment has been hovering around 10 percent for about a year now and this is not even phasing him. Most presidents would be freaked out about this.

 

[Lumpy 1]

Maybe this is like a joke thread..

Dr Grump.. my, he's a funny fellow...

The point is many on the right feel he has not done a good job, and is not a Great statesmen. More of a childish whinny jerk.

That first paragraph is pure partisanship.

You are basing this on what? He gets along well with other world leaders. Bush on the other hand was basically loathed. He gave Angela Merkle a backrub during a meeting of heads of state. He wore a cowboy hat and boots. He disrespected Tony Blair on a live mike. Gosh..he was hated world wide. Even by people who normally like America. In Thailand I saw a t-shirt that had him and Osama Bin Laden listed as the "Twin Terrors".

The "world" gave Obama a Nobel Prize and he's basically loved. The "world" gave Bush the finger. (Although in some parts of Africa he was loved for his efforts on AIDS, and in the Balkans..but heck..that was because of Clinton).

So really..what do you base this whole "statesmen" thing on?

Yeppers..Harvard and Columbia are known for graduating just about everyone. In fact..recently there was an investigation into allegations they just gave away diplomas like pancakes to people that just showed up!

Sure 'nuff.

lol he gets along well with them eh. is that all it takes to be a great statesmen really?

Read the article man. It is peppered with partisan assessments of the man. It is a piece designed to defend him.

So I found it funny the Guy who posted it thought he would call it a NON partisan look at Obama.

Sorry, but Norway is NOT the "world".......

Again..what's the metric you are basing this poor "statesmenship" on. I seriously doubt conservatives truly understand the term. Or "politician" for that matter. If anything, he's repaired many of the alliances Bush fractured. I was in Istanbul, shortly after the invasion. Turks absolutely loathed Bush. They loved Americans..however. And this is from one of the most solid allies of America..for pete's sake. That and the whole "freedom fries" debacle. An insult to another solid ally. That may have been none of Bush doing..but he sure has heck alienated the French. And just about every other country that didn't buy into his "invade iraq" bullshit.

If Obama's traveling around the world insulting America, sure they like him, they agree.
Just like many freeloading liberals, they bite the hand that feeds.

BOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooOOOOSH!


SCARRRRRRRYYY!

ALIENATED THE FRENCH!!

Jatsus Christ talk about a one trick pony.

Anyway I actually read the article and agree with Grump: It is a non-partisan look at Obama, mainly because its not written by a babbling boob who repeats "BUSH, BUSH, BUSH."

How conveniently you hacks this miss part of the post, and many others, too..hardly a ringing endorsement

Obama and his closest advisers appear to have badly misjudged the American people,

Sure 'nuff.

Must be how George Bush got his degree from Harvard.

Obviously he can't be very brilliant if he misjudged things that badly.

The article sounds like something "non partisan" as written by a socialist. This was good:

Meantime, and by Obama's own admission, his administration has failed to convince Americans of its achievements: that the $US800 billion stimulus did staunch the economic wound, slowly turning job losses into gains; that tax cuts have been pulling small enterprises out of the mire; that Obamacare will ultimately cap rising health costs; that Wall Street reforms should lessen the risk of a repeat of 2008's financial meltdown.

Of course the stimulus did not staunch the economic wound (whatever that means), tax cuts have not been pulling small enterprises out of the mire (they aren't hiring, ought to be a hint), and Obamacare has already been shown to increase health care costs, which is why over 60% of the American people want to see it gone. Obama was the socialists' wet dream. He succeeded in everything he wanted and thereby failed miserably. They can't understand that. Any more than the writer can understand the Tea Party movement.

Never said he was stupid because he's not. However, it sure would be interesting to see his transcripts. Why would he be worried about impressing us?

Couple of things on that peace prize. After Kissinger won it in 73 it pretty much turned into a laughingstock, then along comes Arafat in the 90's, another laugher. Then O last year, and he hasn't done anything. The committee actually diminishes the prize by awarding it to people who don't deserve it or who have never had a hand in promoting peace. But you knew that.

Obama is personable, extremely articulate and infinitely more intelligent than George W. Bush. In the aggregate sense he is the diametric opposite of the despised Bush, which accounts for his popularity. But he is a young man who is very devoted to his family and because he does not have a family fortune to fall back on when he leaves Office he must avoid stepping on the toes of those who have the financial power to negatively affect his future -- or worse.

Which is why he chose to let the Bush Crime Family walk away smiling. And why he appointed Rahm Emanuel Chief of Staff. And why he gave the key to the cash drawer to the likes of Rubin, Geithner and Summers. And why he appointed an inert, apathetic clerk as Attorney General.

While President Obama is a vast improvement over Bush he is a soft-stepping appeaser rather than the fighter that Candidate Obama implicitly promised to be.

First off, you would have to know what a statesmen is before you embarrass yourself.

Second, what job has he done that wasn't good? Surely, you can rattle them all off for us.

Me thinks you have entered the realm of bullshit, the deep sticky, the green road apple,...if you get my drift.

His GPA at "Colombia" could not have been over 3.3. Fact. That ain't the GPA of an 'extremely smart' person. Fact. He won't release his records from Harvard. Fact. Since he's such an arrogant ass, why not release his records? Because his grades ain't all that. Opinion.
