His biggest failing is attempting to negotiate with, or communicate with, morons. He’s fallen into the trap of all those willing to negotiate with authoritarian, no, totalitarian, philosophies driving “mass insanity”. Unfortunately, as a “modern politician” it plays far less well than a Socrates or Galileo, but the end result is the same, condemnation, isolation by the “media” controlled by “conservative dogma”.
It is interesting that knowledge, and education, is the greatest enemy of dogma. But dogma does not challenge, or call for change, even if for the person’s (or societies) own good, and is easier for the ignorant to “accept”.
Propaganda, like “Rosie the Riveter” and “Loose Lips Sink Ships”, can be good. But propaganda that divides people , like the Teapublcian line, instead of uniting them toward their own good, like “Rosie”, is NOT “good”, and neither are the people behind it.
Oh, poor, poor Obami. Being president is a hard job, yeah, I know… Thin-skinned people don’t do very well. Ever wondered how George Bush took 6 full years of the worse bashing without batting an eye, without blaming others, and without attacking others for attacking him (attackwatch.com, anyone?)? Because Bush, while he made some mistakes, had CLASS. Class is something Obama sorely lacks. He is going down like a rock and will come crashing down in 2012.
…which begs the question: What are we SUPPOSED to understand about Obama? He’s such a terrible president, nobody has a clue. What is supposed to be “understood” about an idiot who keeps changing his message one day after another? What is supposed to be “understood” about a guy who promised “change,” and only give the country MORE of the crap we got with Bush 2?
grayhares: with respect to another post was well: “Atheists” are often more committed to their cause than the “religious”, also with respect to Navy- ever hear the term “SEAL”, “princess”?
As to “listening”- I would agree that too many “wusses” at the DNC have “played the numbers” and kept Obama from “hammering” home on some morons on the other side. “Handlers” may be the worst thing in American politics, with “W” it was Cheney, Feith, Rumsfeld, Rove, and Wolfowitz, among others. With “O”, it’s the ones doing the opposite, and telling him to “play nice”. There IS a line between letting them roll over you, and rolling over (with wars) those who’ve done nothing to you- it IS time to make the Teapublcians swallow the leaves, and choke!

Obama is NOT a brown-skinned, anti-war socialist who gives away free health care. You’re thinking of Jesus.

Hey, Obama promised change. He was not clear on what that change would be. It amazes me that so many people assumed he meant the changes they wanted.
