The rehabilitation of St. Barack
Washington Post, by Ed Rogers

Original Article

Posted By:MissMolly, 11/6/2012 5:19:16 AM

The Obama apologencia has started their attempt at the rehabilitation of St. Barack. Today’s story by Politico’s Glenn Thrush foreshadows the nauseating talking points that are to come, win or lose. Essentially, Thrush lets a bunch of Obama hired guns and sympathizers reveal for the first time that President Obama was never comfortable with the negative campaign he produced. Apparently, he never wanted to attack Mitt Romney. (Snip) I have two words for those who will peddle this story line: Gag me.

Is the left admitting the negative ads on Romney backfired?They weren't saying this when they accused him of murdering a union worker's wife.Or Bain Capital outsourcing jobs to China under Romney's orders.Haven't GM's parts suppliers been moved overseas so their cars can hit price points to sell? Didn't Obama throw GM's shareholders under the bus as well as Delphi retiree pensions?

I would have liked to see more red meat jabs at Obama by Romney but it appears he chose to run a positive campaign instead.The green loans and grants should have been an easy target for Obama.He was right for not exploiting the Benghazi situation out of respect for the dead people.

Pelosi spent a billion trying to buy back the House and Obama at least $300 million on attack ads and none seemed to have worked.

Mitt didn't want to go negative - he was appealing to the female voters. We'll see who's strategy worked.

“In speech-writing meetings, he’s [Obama’s] often the one to suggest the addition of more optimistic, aspirational passages, aides say — even though he has frequently bowed to the counter-argument that he can prevail only by defining Romney in the most negative way possible.

Rather than "rehabilitation," I think this is even worse for Obama.

It makes him sound like a ventriloquist's dummy rather than just your plain everyday puppet on a string.

Saw the piece Rogers was responding to (I think) yesterday at Politico - truly alternative universe stuff.

Roger's point, of course, is that the "notion" (to use a word Obama loves) that our naturally upbeat, cheerful, inspiring, and positive president's listlessness, despondence, and moodiness on the campaign trail grew out of his deep discomfort with the unfortunate political neccesity of going negative on Romney is a bunch of malarkey (to use a term the VP loves - in public settings).

The WaPo pro-Obama posters on this piece all just snark about Republicans whining about tough campaigning - none even address the rehab effort, which was the whole point. There's no real conversing with a sold-out liberal. The Dems have truly become the stupid party.

It's not possible to rehabilitate a false image once it has been uncloaked. What really happened here in the last few months is that the carefully constructed narrative of Barack Obama has finally been deconstructed for everyone to finally see him as he is. And what he is does not look good to the millions who had previously been fooled into believing the false image.

No, it's over.

The Narcissist-in-chief thinks he's a cool Michael Jordan-class trash talker and holds Romney in contempt as just another rich white guy who doesn't deserve it and who shouldn't even be challenging Obama.
In other words, he's our first president to think in ways totally foreign to the vast majority of America.

It’s much too late now for Barack Hussein Obama to try to fundamentally transform himself, when it comes to all the negative, meanspirited, snarky remarks he has made in the past about Mitt Romney.

One needs only to look at the man's face when he talks, and especially WHEN he is off TOTUS.

He was schooled in Marxist/Soviet-style rabble-rousing, aka, "agitation and propaganda." And furthermore, he taught this to as many as possible when he moved to the fertile grounds of Chicago.

I somehow missed Politico's author's name, Glen Thrush. So, when i kept seeing "Thrush", all that came to mind was the evil agency in "Man from U.N.C.L.E."

Here is our greatest problem: a media which --with the exception of Fox News (and of course "new media" and talk radio)-- is thoroughly a tool of the Left. As media-toads began to realize how much power they have to influence opinion (i think most evident in the Clinton years), they began wielding that power with greater and greater frequency until when BO appeared on the scene, there is not a scintilla of objectivity.

Combine this with the ignorance of the masses, the lack of historical knowledge, the death of common sense, and the media can control and mold opinion, and emotion (was going to say "thought," but there's not much of that going on out there).

Said one day to hubby: Dem/Lefties used to have the media in their pockets, now they're deep in their boxers and briefs.
--an ugly image. But ugly it is.

If Obama loses--and I hope he does--it will be because of his refusal to move to the center and to focus on the economy, not because of his campaign. The campaign had nowhere to go except negative because O's record was so bad. Bill Clinton played it differently, and won reelection easily.

Remember all the jokes about Slick Lying Willie's presidential library containing only four or five books? If obama is booted out, there will only be the unmentionable foreign book and the Communist Manifesto for his library. All other documents will be redacted, hidden from view, no history allowed. Obams's disgraceful legacy will be called The Cover Up Library. If he wins, the New Media revolution will intensify and perfe'ct to the finest media in the world.
The traitorous Old Media Mafia will slowly give up the 24/7 lying. After all, even Diane Sawyer, at one time in her life, was a good American. Maybe some of this basic goodness will come back for most of TV's current crop of Party Line Liars. Maybe the sponsors will wake up and stop paying billions for lies. Obama will not finish out his second term if we are so unfortunate
to suffer four more years. Willie was impeached for lesser crimes, and Tricky Dick was boosted out of 2nd term for lesser crimes. There is good nows even in the bad.

With three different scandals threatening to consume the White House last week—the Benghazi cover-up, the Justice Department’s seizure of the phone records of dozens of Associated Press reporters, and the revelation of an anti-Tea Party inquisition by the Internal Revenue Service—CNBC’s John Harwood offered his journalistic peers some advice on Twitter: “Those of us in political-media world should just shut up about ‘narratives’ and focus on what’s true.” CBS anchor Scott Pelley joined in: “We are getting big stories wrong, over and over again.” The fact that these sentiments needed to be expressed is a damning indictment of the media,

Qworty cut paragraphs that included quotes from Hannah’s work. He removed 20 links to interviews, obituaries and reminiscences concerning Hannah. He cut out a list of literary prizes Hannah had won.

"As Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth might have said, this was ´weekus horribilis´ for President Obama. Three fires in the form of three scandals to put out in one week. Are locusts next? While Obama has tried to get ahead of each -- Benghazi, the Associated Press, and the IRS vs. the Tea Party -- the time to get ahead of these things is, well, ahead of them.

"Can she actually believe this?," he asks incredulously. "Has this president broken the law, lied under oath, or authorized war crimes? Has he traded arms for hostages with Iran?

Security along the U.S. border with Mexico is perhaps the key factor in the debate over comprehensive immigration reform. Those who believe the border is mostly secure already are more inclined to support the plan of the bipartisan Gang of Eight in the Senate -- legalization first, followed by enhanced security. Those who believe the border is still far from secure are more likely to oppose the Gang of Eight´s approach, insisting that heightened security measures be in place before the nation´s estimated 11 million illegal immigrants are legalized. Now, a new report from the Council on Foreign Relations

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.
