I think children are born with an instinctive ability to push their parent\u2019s buttons.\u00a0 They are gifted from birth to say or do just the right thing designed to create maximum frustration.\u00a0 As a grandfather, watching from a safe distance, this can be fun to watch.\u00a0 It is seldom as amusing when your own buttons are being pushed.<\/p>\n

President Obama is pushing all the buttons guaranteed to infuriate large voting blocs.\u00a0 This is either incredible stupid or unbelievably brilliant.\u00a0 This will either win him the election or it will result in the worst thumping in a Presidential election in our nation\u2019s history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This President is at war with the American people on subjects where liberals have had zero success at the polls.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Gay marriage has never been approved by voters anywhere at any time.\u00a0 We have gay marriage only because of activist judges and tone deaf legislatures.\u00a0 Voter ID laws have strong bi-partisan support.\u00a0 The vast majority of people want our immigration laws enforced.\u00a0 That is why so many states passed legislation very similar to that passed by Arizona.\u00a0 Finally, it is becoming increasingly clear that the administration is trying to cover-up something big with regard to \u201cFast & Furious.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, either Obama knows more about what the average American thinks than anyone else, or he is making huge mistakes.\u00a0 There is no middle ground here.\u00a0 Key Democrats are deserting him in droves.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 The latest rumor is that Democrats are even having trouble raising money for the Democratic National Convention.\u00a0 When people won\u2019t spring for a party, the Party is obviously in serious trouble.<\/p>\n

We should have predicted this.\u00a0 The most na\u00efve, radical and inexperienced man to ever run for President would be extremely unlikely to miraculously morph into a brilliant skilled executive while in office.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 It was the main stream media that facilitated the myth of brilliance and leadership.\u00a0 Obama himself has nothing to say.\u00a0 All of his speeches are just replays of Democratic talking points.\u00a0 This is so bad that even Democrats are bored.\u00a0 The only real question is why did anyone expect anything different?<\/p>\n
