Some of the best fun I have with fellow Blacks is to end my litany of worsening conditions for all Americans and particularly Black under Zero with two reality check assertions...first, if McCain had won in 2008 and these conditions existed, Blacks would be in the streets protesting...second, if the first Black in major league baseball had not been MVP Jackie Robinson, but some guy that batted under .150 for 4 years, we would have been embarrassed and alleging his selection was a set-up to begin with...

Liberals are easily taken in by performances (IMO). The 'good show' is what matters - not performance. When the performer flops, they recoil in horror, which is what has happened to so many of their nominees (LBJ, McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Algore, Dukakis, Kerry, and now Obama).

I'm sad to say, my lib friends are too proud to admit a mistake. They'll go to their graves worshiping at the feet of the Teleprompter in Chief. Willfully ignorant.

~~Ridicule is a fast spreading contagion. It once was confined to the conservative blogosphere and talk radio. Now it has breached the walls of the media elite.~~

.....so far, just a little teeny-tiny bit....will wait to see something akin to the beating taken by, say, Sarah Palin.

It would be instructive if #1 would share elsewhere, if not in this thread, what his/her "fellow blacks" say in response to his no-doubt true litany of conditions perpetuating misery for them.

"Lurking in the background is the specter of becoming a laughingstock."

For those of us who began laughing at the presidential farce of barry obama in 2008 (if not his actions and his very real destruction of the country) it's great to now have a lot of company. The lazy, incompetent, vacationing, golf-playing fraud gave his hand away very early. Some people just need to be hit with a 2 x 4 before their eyes open.

#5, one get's a stange momentary silence or pause...remember most Blacks lined up behind Hillary and Bill before Zero started to gain traction in the primaries and then jumped on board...then there was the shock of his election and now an under current that he is in over his head...in short, Zero is running out of excuses...

What more could Obama do? He didn't lie enough or spin enough.

At least, poster #1, many of those blacks who have turned on obama are planning on staying home and not voting. I applaud them for at least that and certainly do offer the ones I know encouragement to stay home, indeed. If obit loses just 5% of the black vote, that will be a significant victory for truth. Hopefully, with obit being outed as the first gay president will cost him at least 5%. At least!

This is not true or even possible. I mean, obama is the smartest person in America to be elected president. He is genius level. I assume his performance is a dark mystery to us mortals because we are too stupid to understand his brilliant strategy. s/o The media will be kissing his butt again before the weekend is over.

Astute baseball analogy, #1. Affirmative action not allowed in sports, so why in politics?

Obama has finally jumped the shark. It had to happen. I'm glad it happened *before* the election.

I dunno, I hope it's true. All the Democrats I know are voting for His Majesty again. The only difference being they can't pretend anymore that it's about sparkly unicorns. This time, a vote for Obama is an intentional vote for Decline, no way to hide it. The Democrats I know are OK with this.

Can't accept the premise of this article. It's not possible to embarrass a liberal.

While I agree with #14, enablers jumping ship often happens when a flim-flam artist is exposed. Those participating in the scam are worried that they, too, will be exposed. Thus, while liberals cannot be "embarrassed", they must cover their "bare-a**es".

Libs have no problem championing any empty suit, they just don't appreciate hard work experience same as we do. They are gullible and knee jerk responsive without questioning anything. Embarrassed a bit but more quick to blame others for their disgrace.

To #1's excellent baseball analogy: If the "Jackie Robinson" batting .150, and maybe leading the lead in strike outs and errors in the field, were today, the media would be full of excuses: Nobody knew how hard it would be, etc., etc.

Nothing looks as hopelessly star-crossed, or spawns as many excuses, as bad leadership.

It's as true of the smallest subcommittee on the school PTA as it is in the Oval Office.

I personally know 7 dems who are voting Romney and another one who is not going to vote at all. I can't be the only one who has a similar story.

Anecdotal, but three of the most liberal people I know are voting for Romney. Also, #1's analysis is excellent.

SNL SKEWERED O and MSNBC last night. They had him falling asleep at the podium. However liberal they may be, one of the best things they ALWAYS do is paint an accurate picture of the Presidential debates. Remember 2000, when they so accurately portrayed GW and Algore in each debate? I swear to this day that that made a difference in a lot of votes because it accurately showed the stupidity of Algore. Yes, I think Mr. Lifson is exactly right. (Natch.)

I'm surprised, surprised to call them an American! Oh!

Couple of more analogies...Blacks used to travel for miles to nearest neighbor with a radio to listen to a Joe Louis fight, and would expect him to Win, not just enter the ring! Ditto with tracking Casius Clay and didn't care when he changed his name cuz he was winning. And as to Zero's slide into a so-call Black dialect, most recently displayed in the 2007 video before a group of Black preachers, I challenge anyone to find a speech of the most celebrated Black preacher of the past century speaking in a so-called dialect. We learned to hold our breath throughout a MLK, Jr. appearance on a Meet the Press, etc., just hoping he wouldn't split a verb and would "represent"! He elevated, Zero deflates...damn champion of food stamps over jobs...

#4, Alinsky talks of the value of ridicule, of how hard it is to fight, even when it is completely unfair.

In this case, it's fair. And it shows why Clint Eastwood's empty chair skit was so effective.

Oh dear! The incompetent malignancy meets the light of day. Beware the shifting breeze; the stench of decay is on the way.

But why? Why should they be embarrassed by Obama? Just because he didn't articulate their position well, doesn't change the fact that he believes everything they do. They should be saying, So what?

Or else...They should have been embarrassed long ago. Did they not see the styrofoam columns. The seal of the president- elect? The podium and TelePrompTer in the elementary classroom? The awful rudeness to the Supremes at the SOTU? The photoshopped pictures? The endless golf? The bows to muslims? the royal gaffes? the unearned Nobel? I mean, come on.

So NOW you're embarrassed? News flash, liberals. Not ONE thing has changed. Your boyfriend is a major dweeb.

I have gifted a bunch of my women friends with little chair charms they can wear to the polls. The number of us so attired is growing!

An image whose time has come...

Yes, the Leftist intelligentsia persuaded themselves that Obambi was a "genius."

Michael Beschloss, a liberal "presidential historian" and subscriber to this belief, provided one of the most unintentionally funny moments in radio history when this claim was abruptly challenged by Don Imus.

Beschloss, a guest on the Imus radio show, had just gushed that Obama had the "highest IQ" of any US president. An incredulous Imus interjected "What is his IQ? How do you know? What IS Obama's IQ?"

The stunned Beschloss had no answer.

May I suggest another reason the left is embarrassed by the Obamanation of Desolation?

They are embarrassed because he unabashedly implemented their policies and they didn't work.

Now they cannot criticize him without being labeled a racist, mother hating, baby killing bigot because anyone who questioned Obama in 2008 was labeled as such. They have no other candidate at this point.
