I think children are born with an instinctive ability to push their parent’s buttons. They are gifted from birth to say or do just the right thing designed to create maximum frustration. As a grandfather, watching from a safe distance, this can be fun to watch. It is seldom as amusing when your own buttons are being pushed.
President Obama is pushing all the buttons guaranteed to infuriate large voting blocs. This is either incredible stupid or unbelievably brilliant. This will either win him the election or it will result in the worst thumping in a Presidential election in our nation’s history.
This President is at war with the American people on subjects where liberals have had zero success at the polls. Thanks to recent developments showing that a fetus is far more than just a lump of inert tissue, more and more Americans are moving away from the pro-choice position. Gay marriage has never been approved by voters anywhere at any time. We have gay marriage only because of activist judges and tone deaf legislatures. Voter ID laws have strong bi-partisan support. The vast majority of people want our immigration laws enforced. That is why so many states passed legislation very similar to that passed by Arizona. Finally, it is becoming increasingly clear that the administration is trying to cover-up something big with regard to “Fast & Furious.”
So, either Obama knows more about what the average American thinks than anyone else, or he is making huge mistakes. There is no middle ground here. Key Democrats are deserting him in droves. The money is drying up so fast that the Obama campaign is now suggesting people forego wedding gifts so guests can donate to his re-election campaign instead. The latest rumor is that Democrats are even having trouble raising money for the Democratic National Convention. When people won’t spring for a party, the Party is obviously in serious trouble.
We should have predicted this. The most naïve, radical and inexperienced man to ever run for President would be extremely unlikely to miraculously morph into a brilliant skilled executive while in office. Obama never was a brilliant campaigner; he won because of the campaign run on his behalf by CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and to some extent Fox News. It was the main stream media that facilitated the myth of brilliance and leadership. Obama himself has nothing to say. All of his speeches are just replays of Democratic talking points. This is so bad that even Democrats are bored. The only real question is why did anyone expect anything different?
