#1 All of which is no new news for those of us that have been watching him for the past 12 years.

#2 The lever can't be seen whilst the head is so far up its @$$.

#4 And what more and more Democrats are saying privately is scathing, calling the president and his team detached, flat footed, even incompetent.

It took them awhile. It is election time and self- preservation is a strong motivator. Shades of Jimmy Carter.

#5 Because ValJar already has her hand on the lever.

#6 It's May. The smell of panic is already in the air. Don't worry I'm confident McConnell and Boehner will make sure enough Trunks stay home on election day for you. The Beltway Party takes care of its own. If there is ever another republic just make sure that term limits are stuck on everyone in any serving office.

#7 P2k, give you a Amen for that. The Beltway Party, in which I include all the bureaucrats is the root problem.

I'll be pleasantly surprised when the Dems start calling him corrupt, cynical and evil.

#9 Finally they are starting to get it.

It's hard, they've ignored as much as they can, now it's despration timeTheir "Phony Baloney" Jobs are on the line , and the Citizens just wo'nt forget who's responsible.

Allthough they should have started years ago, an yes we know it.

#11 "Privately"?

I'm not impressed. Call me when they start saying such things OUT LOUD, ON LIVE TV.

Neither am I Barb. Difficult to find anyone who actually knew a Nazi after WWII as well.

#13 The phase lag of recognition boggles the mind. It is like sending radio signals to a distant galaxy and getting an answer above background noise.

#14 ..why? They live mostly in an urban feedback bubble.

#15 I think they always knew. The trail of destruction was a feature, not a bug.

#16 "Don't worry, lads, I'm sure these policies will work fine with someone competent!"

I have a suggestion for these private Democrats: they can nominate Mitt in 2016.

#17 On FREEREPUBLIC, DDRUDGE, + OTHER.

* Also from FREEREPUBLIC > [Fnancial Times} US FOREIGN POLICY: TROUBLE AHEAD - BARACK OBAMA ACCUSED OF TIMIDITY ABROAD.

E.g. as per ...

* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > [Straits Times] CHINA-PHILIPPINES CONFLICT A TEST OF US COMMITMENT.

Yuuup.

Obama-the-Pro-US-Nationalist versus Obama-the Anti-US-OWG-Globalist.

Once again, OWG GLOBALISM = can be described as HOW MUCH OR HOW FAR CAN THE SUPERPOWER US USA = GREAT POWERS SAFELY RETREAT, FALL BACK, OR OTHERWISE UNILATER GIVE UP POWER-N-INFLUENCE, ETC. ACROSS THE WORLD WIDOUT BEING EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED IFF NOT DESTROYED [ala the never-ending "Great Game"].

* WORLD NEWS > [Wichita Sun] CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: RUSSIA, CHINA DEAL ALTERS BALANCE OF POWER.

'Twas Vladimir "They call me M-i-s-t-e-r Vlad/Bad" Putin = Russia that succesfully pivoted to Asia, NOT the Bammer = USA.

#18 Bath House Barry's incompetence is a blessing.
An efficient Bolshevik in the White House would have the USA turn into a Cuba in no time...
