| People weren’t paying attention. Those are the people now surprised that President Obama is still stridently campaigning instead of doing the real work of governing. Even some who voted for him last month are puzzled as he threatens to take the nation off the fiscal cliff if Republicans don’t give him the tax hikes he demands now and puts off entitlement reform until later. He even wants to increase spending. I’ve talked to people who supported him, and their surprise is surprising. “I thought he was going to move toward the center after the election,” one stunned Obama backer

So we have liberals with buyers remorse because Obama´s not moving towards the center. I wonder which Obama they were looking at his 1st 4 years? Obama is a commie,socialist,period. He´s not the least bit interested in compromise he demands from others.I suppose these same morons though Obama´s tax on the rich would go to deficit reduction also,when he´s spent it before the 1st dime rolls in.
You had some black people in the NY storm saying they were "played" by Obama,because of the lousy FEMA response. Guess what,he played everyone of you morons and now you´re stuck for 4 more years of this reckless tax and spend idiot,hellbent on the country´s destruction. While your freezing in NY with no heat or food he´ll be in Hawaii for 20 days lapping up the sun and golf..
Forget about a job even if you wanted one and bypassed the $55,000 in total benefits you get from being on welfare. Obama´s killing off the job creators one by one ,even delis that have been in business 75 years.

Goodwin closes this out by saying he doesn´t think Obama is destroying the military, the currency, etc on purpose? Why won´t Goodwin or any of these other NYC/Beltway clowns admit it?

The voters who celebrated their own ignorance by reelecting this catastrophe are getting what they deserve. Tragically, so are the rest of us.

FTA: "He would need only to govern as the most important leader, but not the only leader, in our representative democracy."
I like Michael Goodwin but this is wrong. In our representative democracy, the President is not the most important leader ... he may be the head of the Executive but he is still one among equals. Obama has never accepted that. He rules like Robespierre and, with his Czars, has his own Committee of Public Safety.
Obama is a revolutionary. His aim is to rule, not govern. Thanks to a twitterpated media and bewitched public, he has gotten away with it for the last 4 years. Of couse things will get worse ... why wouldn´t they?

Around 40 years ago, The New Yorker ran a cartoon of the prototypical bearded man in a robe holding a "repent" sign standing in the rain speaking to another man.
The caption was some thing like, "I admit to taking some pleasure in the fact that it´s also raining upon the unjust."

The media owns this debacle/disaster lock stock and both barrels. Watching them come to grips with that notion over the next 4 years will be as entertaining as watching a slow moving train wreck or one of those 150 vehicle accidents on the freeway.

Why am I not surprised that these people are surprised? Maybe a steady media diet of his wondetuness and awesomeness, and just plain lying by the media just might, possibly have something to do with it. They created this mess, and this mess now owns it, but to hear the media swoon, he´s so awesome!!!!!!!!!!

Obama is fulfilling his "destiny". He is systematically destroying the United States of America and half of our people are egging him on! It will take divine intervention to prevent this and I believe his re-election confirmed that is not going to happen. It appears that we are going to experience the "utopia" that has been the goal of the America hating progressives for decades along the loss of influence on the world´s stage, and nothing good will come of that. The UN´s recent decision regarding the Palestinians proves that.

My plan is to ignore the punk/mutt and all his supporters in every way possible ( and some that are not possible as well). I´ll not be ´ruled´ by them or for them. I´ll not give a dime or a thought to the people of NY. Unfair?.perhaps. The odds are that they have voted against me, my family, my country . They get Nothing. I´ll give no support of any kind to blacks for the same reasons. My odds are in the 94-96 range.I will feel badly for the other 4 to 6%. I´ll not support, hire, give to any of these groups. They chose, now I´ll choose. It´s not my natural nature but , after this election, it is my new policy. I´ll take care of me, my family and my conservative friends only.I´ll make damn sure there is one less ´obama-phone´ coming from me

He is absolutely the destroyer-in-chief, and the destruction has always been purposeful. Amazing that Michael and his acquaintances do not "get it". Blinded by the Beltway madness I guess.

There’s a huge red flag in the Benghazi mess, but conservatives are letting the media get away with using a red herring to avoid it. Give the establishment media credit for obstinacy: Once it settles on a standard narrative or explanation for a particular subject, it shows remarkable discipline in explaining away any evidence that contradicts its own approved spin. So it has been with the media’s 250-day old determination to downplay the scandalous nature of the Obama administration’s treatment of its outpost in Benghazi before, during, and after the terrorist attack there that took four American lives.

Lawmakers across the country are tussling over the Obama administration´s plans to create a small army of assistants to guide millions of Americans as they sign up for new health-insurance options available this fall. Backers of the health-care overhaul face an uphill battle to spread the word about the law, in the face of consumer research that suggests most uninsured people know little about it and are skeptical about the value of health insurance generally. Some Democrats have openly worried that the administration is doing too little to make sure the enrollment process goes smoothly. That is where the "patient navigators"

Labor unions are breaking with President Obama on ObamaCare. Months after the president’s reelection, a variety of unions are publicly balking at how the administration plans to implement the landmark law. They warn that unless there are changes, the results could be catastrophic. The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) — a 1.3 million-member labor group that twice endorsed Obama for president — is very worried about how the reform law will affect its members’ healthcare plans. Last month, the president of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers released a statement calling “for repeal

Since Hillary Clinton last came up to Capitol Hill, we’ve learned senior State Department officials sought to scrub references to terrorism from the infamous Benghazi talking points to insulate Foggy Bottom from political criticism — citing concerns of their “building’s leadership” to justify the demands. The rising temperature of the scandal means it’s possible that Hillary could be asked to return and testify again. If she comes back, she had better be prepared, says House Oversight and Government Reform chairman Darrell Issa. “We are interviewing lots of people, most of them under oath,” Issa says, describing the “methodical” approach his committee

We hear a lot, these days, about how President Obama is not like Lyndon Johnson and thanks be to heaven for that small mercy. The point seems to be that the president doesn´t know how to arm twist, sweet talk, bribe, and emasculate both friend and enemy (of which he truly had neither) in order to further his agenda. Since many among the chattering class believe, still, in that agenda, his is generally regarded as an excellent presidency. Never mind that more than half a century after Johnson declared war on poverty ...

First they came for Fox News, and they did not speak out – because they were not Fox News. Then they came for government whistleblowers, and they did not speak out – because they were not government whistleblowers. Then they came for the maker of a You Tube video, and – okay, we know how this story ends. But how did we get here?Turns out, it’s a fairly swift sojourn from a president pushing to “delegitimize” a news organization, to threatening criminal prosecution for journalistic activity by a Fox News reporter, James Rosen,

More whistleblowers will emerge shortly in the escalating Benghazi scandal, according to two former U.S. diplomats who spoke with PJ Media Monday afternoon. These whistleblowers, colleagues of the former diplomats, are currently securing legal counsel because they work in areas not fully protected by the Whistleblower law. According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
