Barack Obama is a Freaking Train Wreck


A new, all-time low in Rasmussen's Presidential Approval Index today...and really tanking now:
Small wonder Dems on the campaign trail don't even want to be seen with the spontaneously-combusting Bolshevik Boy Wonder, to them he's become political poison... 
with "Obama" already a dirty word on the stump.  

Just twelve more weeks now before we set things straight... what we are witnessing today is the death rattle of the "progressive" movement in this country.  Rasmussen Reports 

 Update: Van at Moonbattery put it well:

"Who would have guessed that electing an unqualified ultra-left community organizer with extremely unsavory associations President of the United States on the strength of his trendy ethnicity and having a name like a terrorist wouldn't work out? At least it didn't take long for most of us to recognize the error:"

New RNC Ad: Obama's 'Deficit of Hope'

“The American people have seen who is benefiting 
from Obama’s economy- and it isn’t them"


-

This new video out of the RNC today- not bad:


Of course, there is one more aspect to this campaign season that is amazing if you think about it. 

Did you ever think that the GOP would be able to campaign against Obama himself? When he won that great election victory in 2008 and as he campaigned how the Old Media destroyed anyone that spoke against him as a “racist,” I’d have thought then that the GOP would never be able to run against Obama himself. 

But with the socialist direction he’s taken, with his tone deaf left-wingism, with his utter failure on the economic front — nearly a constant 10% unemployment rate — with his massive failures overseas with foreign policy, with his failure to even satisfy his extremist left-wing voting base by putting all their pet policies into place… the guy is a major disaster.

What a REAL Leader Looks Like: Alvaro Uribe

-Gracias, Señor Presidente-

Colombian patriot and brave national hero Alvaro Uribe has now retired from the presidential office he first took in 2002... when Colombia was nothing short of a failed state. How did he do? Besides the fact that he all but defeated the FARC rebels and numerous drug cartels over his eight years, Uribe's presidential approval rating has hovered between 60-70%... as recently as 2008 hitting an astounding 91%...

George W Bush honored his accomplishment, principles, and valor with a Presidential Medal of Freedom...  while today's radical Democrats refuse to support Colombia's great strides with even a free-trade pact.  But as a thankless Obama chums-up to anti-democratic enemies at Colombia's expense, Uribe can rest assured that history will treat him and his nationalist/pro-victory/free market record well... very well.

Faced with a pugnacious Hugo Chavez providing cover and support for Colombian FARC commie/drug cartel rebels just over the Venezuelan border, Alvaro Uribe displayed admirable restraint too... much of South and Central America could have been drawn-in and split into to camps -creating permanent rifts- if Comrade Hugo had succeeded in baiting Colombia into an all-out war. 

Just this last Sunday, Uribe -clearly sick of relentless Chavez insults- dismissed the red-shirted  Marxist clown as a "coward" on Twitter... as Colombian victims of FARC violence now pursue remedy against Venezeula through legal means.

IBD provides some background on the towering success of this truly great leader and good friend to the United States... 
Presidente Alvaro Uribe:
Leadership: Colombia's Alvaro Uribe leaves office as one of the hemisphere's most successful leaders, courageously transforming a failed state to a rising star.

His friendship has also paid off handsomely for the U.S. As with Australia's John Howard and the U.K.'s Tony Blair, President Bush knew what he was doing when he presented Colombia's president with the Medal of Freedom, America's highest honor, in 2009.

Rarely has our country benefited so greatly from an alliance. Before Uribe was elected in 2002, Colombia was one of our biggest headaches. A rural, underdeveloped society, it was unprepared for the first wave of the global drug trade, and its name had become synonymous with cartels. Corruption stretched from the lowliest slum dwellers to the presidential palace and seemed incurable. The cartels then turned into guerrilla groups that by 1998 almost claimed victory in the drug war.

But as sometimes occurs in times of crisis, a real leader stepped forward. Uribe focused on just two things: human rights and development. He called his plan "democratic security." He marshaled the best in his people and cultivated an alliance with America.

And contrary to what the past suggested, it worked. Colombians detested chaos and were willing to make sacrifices to create something new. Uribe's leadership brought out the best in a society whose roots were still intact. Thanks to a strong work ethic, Colombia's economy grew every year but one.

And unlike other Latin American states, it kept its word and never defaulted on debt. This made it possible for the U.S. to help. The $7 billion spent on Plan Colombia is one of America's biggest foreign-aid success stories.

As Uribe leaves office with a nation better off politically, socially and economically, the U.S. has learned some important lessons of its own: * The wars we fight these days against extralegal and extraterritorial groups motivated by ideology can be won.

Our experience with Plan Colombia is an encyclopedia of lessons that can be applied to conflicts such as Afghanistan.

* Drug wars can be damped down. Colombia's experience in destroying large cartels is now Mexico's template for winning its war.

* Illegal immigration can be stopped in its tracks. Ten years ago, Colombia shipped an estimated 141,000 illegals to the U.S. Today, the numbers are so small the U.S. no longer publishes them. Uribe's freeing of his economy brought exiles — and tourists — back.

* Things can change in Latin America. Given the long arc of progress in Colombia, the cycle of populism and caudillos seems to be broken, opening more avenues to U.S. engagement.

* The U.S. has a true ally in Latin America. Until now, our relations with most Latin neighbors have been contentious. But our close ties with Colombia — despite Congress' inexcusable failure to pass a free-trade accord — suggest we can develop others.

So bravo to Alvaro Uribe, who has shown how true leadership rather than cult of personality can make all the difference in the world.

What Ever Happened to 'Joe Democrat'?

" Fueled by the doctrine of class warfare, it denigrates and demonizes all opponents, all who dare to differ..."

A letter to the editor of The Journal News (northern suburbs of NYC) was written over 5 years ago, yet this common-sense patriot saw it coming--  a harsh reality now dawning on millions of Americans as they watch their country taken apart piece-by-piece... 
Question: Where did the Democratic Party that millions of us grew-up with go?

Answer: It morphed into an amalgram of special-interest groups that promotes an ultra-left, ultra-liberal agenda smacking of socialism, Marxism, and nihilism. Fueled by the doctrine of class warfare, it denigrates and demonizes all opponents, all who dare to differ.

The party used to house conservative, centrist, and liberal wings. Today's Democrats in the House of Representatives are unarguably dominated by a powerful majority of the left.

Many political observers link the sharp left turn to 1972, when Democrats nominated George McGovern for president. A WWII bomber pilot, a decent man, he was deemed by the electorate to be weak on defense, and he lost to Richard Nixon.

In the 1968 presidential race, VP Hubert Humphrey was the Democrat's candidate. The most visible and outspoken liberal in American politics, he was honest, honorable, and decent, devoid of a vicious, mean spirit that defines today's liberalism. Humphrey never took the low road, never screamed "betrayal" as Al Gore did, never called a sitting president "thug" or "murderer".

He wouldn't have sanctioned a Hollywood gathering of foul-mouthed Bush-haters making lewd, disguisting references to their president. John Kerry enjoyed this venemous sputum, calling it the "heart and soul of America."

Me? I'm  the guy who voted for Democrats Humphrey in 1968, Lyndon Johnson in 1964, and JFK in 1960. Yes, dear hearts, I wasn't always critical of the Democrats. To echo Ronald Reagan: 
I didn't leave the Democratic Party; it left me.

My immigrant parents believed int the greatness and goodness of America. As NYC working-poor, they gravitated to the Democratic Party. They were for FDR, Truman, and Adlai Stevenson, but when Republican President Eisenhower was speaking, we all gathered in front of the black and white TV. In that living room there was respect and civility because the president, our president, was speaking.

That nuance of a former time has undergone a malignant sea change. The current assault on George Bush features a litany of hate-filled ad hominems that transcend civil debate and is unworthy of Americans.

Strange, when we were growing up, we didn't view moral people who believed in God as dangerous fanatics. That's the party's nihilism I referred to in the opening paragraph. Anyhow, hang this one on a former Democrat,  former liberal-voting Jewish man who had his "epiphany" 32 years ago.
