All they have to do is talk about Obama’s many, many failures .

The only high personal approval Obama has is his high approval of himself.

“Barack Obama is the ultimate of bullies.  Yet, like most bullies, it is the challenge he fears, the truth he despises.  The ultimate terror for Barack Obama is that the world will see who he really is: a petty man of little talent and few gifts.”

His biggest fear is that repubs will talk about his record.

Obummer’s high personal approval rating…. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Which would those be?

And these of course will be the singular fault of President Obama correct?

Man, every single day 1 full year out from election the Republicans look like idiots.

“Don’t talk bad about the President.”
What else do they know how to do?”I hope he fails.”

Drum roll:

Record # in poverty, on welfare, in foreclosure, 8.6% unemployment, over 300k  giving up on employment in one month, 1st. ever credit downgrade, turning Egypt from a long-time ally into control by the Islamic Brotherhood, loss of  a top secret  US Drone to Iran, NKorean developing a missile that could hit the USA, record debt, record yearly deficits,record suicides in military, etc.

His biggest accomplishment? Obamacare which only 34% support.

you really have nothing to boast about him, do ya?

Didn’t think so!

You just described yourself to a tee.Bravo.

Now we can both agree that that was  not a very well thought out reply, was it?

Of course, they’ll have to do the complete opposite to win the GOP nomination. I love the GOP base. They’re so stupid. They’ve shot themselves in the foot so many times that they know collect SSDI.

Of course, these are the same people who believe that humans domesticated the dinosaur and used to drink brontosaurus milk.

Gingrich 2012.

Well, Obama should have never put us in Iraq and Afghanistan, causing record debt, record military suicides, etc.

What? He didn’t? And I suppose under your thinking, losing a US drone is his fault, yet you’ll refuse to credit him for the deaths of Bin Laden and Khaddafi. 

Hypocrite.

Too bad Republicans have to decide not to make personal attacks based on his personal approval rating; it would be nice to see them engage in some constructive criticism for once. 

Couldn’t they have just made the case that he sucked at his job in the first place?  Because even by the time the election comes around, people aren’t going to forget all the weird, xenophobic birther claims and the outright racist Tea Party signs.  The past is going to come back to haunt the Republican Party come election time, because people don’t forget outrageous and controversial claims by sore losers.

And that’s a shame, because depending on who the nominee is, the Republicans might have had a chance to beat him.  Too bad the party decided to validate and pander to those extreme elements, rather than backing away from them or trying to rein them in.  The right is about to be defeated by its blind love of itself, yet again, as well as its inability to compromise.  It kills me to see the party do that to itself over and over again.

His failure has been in not being able to fix what Bush broke. Or are you living under revisionist history that the economy was going gangbusters until Obama was inaugurated in 2009?

I would say the unemployment numbers are completely him because of his lack of knowledge of economics.

He is now below Carter on being overwhelmed and unqualified for this position.

He is a great campaigner and nice guy but is clueless when it comes to leadership.

If you would say the unemployment numbers are completely him, I would say that you are completely ignorant and not informed.

Buried here are two pieces of very bad news for conservatives, and wingnut posters on Mediaite would be wise to take notice. Fortunately wisdom is a completely alien concept to wingnuts.

A) Obama’s high personal approval ratings, stipulated by the GOP itself, spell doom for any republiklan candidate.  There just aren’t any likeable candidates on the republiklan side that have any chance to win the primary.  Additionally, In order to win the GOP primary, republiklans have to actually make themselves LESS likeable.

B) The shrill wingnuts all over the interwebs are not only failing to gain any traction with their constant hate-filled lunatic scribblings, it would appear that their ceaseless hatred is actually bolstering the president’s approval numbers.

Which is kind of the problem Republicans have.  Obama can’t just be a bad president, he has to be satan incarnate who is deliberately trying to destroy the country and convert our children into gay socialists.  I think the hyperbole doesn’t help as most people see through it other than the hard core brainwashed.

I actually think they have a point.  Personal attacks won’t help, especially if Obama runs against Newt Gingrich whose personal life is a bit of a cess pool by comparison so hyperbolic attacks will only inadvertantly serve to make people look at Gingrich’s personal life.  If Republicans want to win they will just have to focus on his record and leave the conspiracy theories out of it.

Which is actually a huge problem for the GOP at this point–the views of the GOP base have become so divorced from the views of the mainstream public, that the base is actually become a detriment to the party’s success on a national level.  If this wasn’t the case, Romney (who is the candidate with the biggest chance of succeeding on the national level) would be a shew in and the insane sideshow of Bachman, Perry, and Cain would have never even been a blip on the radar.

And Obama will continue to bash any all republicans/conservatives, at the personal and every other level, and his pals (lapdogs) in the media will folllow suit.
We need to bash the bystander, the manchild, the campaigner in chief.  Sometimes the RNC is its own worst enemy.  It didn’t need to give more fodder to the idiots in the leftwing media. 

Now get your act together and go after Obama and stop going after Gingrich, Trump, etc.  Honestly, Rove needs to shut the hell up, as do many of the others.

The MSM will bash republicans and praise democrats; they are nothing but propagandists.  We shouldn’t be running against ourselves.

What are you laughing at? Your stupidity?

It seems to me that the problem the Republicans have is Fox News.  Every night for the last three years you have someone on there calling Obama Marxist or anti-American.  This generated decent ratings and led the Republicans to assume that it represented a large swath of the populace. 

And, to be sure, it was a large audience– large enough that a nominee doesn’t stand a chance unless they pander to them.  But it’s not a representative audience.  Fox represents the views and opinions of its audience and few others.  So the nominees that pander to their audience don’t stand a chance in a general election.

So I can imagine the Rs getting a little resentful at Fox.  Will this Fox to change at all?  I doubt it.  In the end, Murdoch strikes me as wanting to make money.  It’s not a big enough audience to win an election but it’s a big enough audience to keep it the most popular cable news channel.

Tina, are you suggesting that the Republicans have taken the moral high ground where Obama’s concerned? 

“Obama can’t just be a bad president…”

Yes, he can!

Anyone else find it disturbing that no one in the Obama promoting media is calling Rachel Rose Hartman’s lack of journalistic ethics into question?

What was it, just a month ago that the Obama loving media failed to report an Obama open mic incident where he desparaged the Israeli Prime Minister, but were thwarted in their cover up by the foreign press?

See how it works? If an open mic situation hurts Obama, the Obama media covers it up. If another open mic type incident helps Obama, they rush to report it.

Are you cognizant of the hundreds of thousands of jobs that Obama personally killed in the energy sector?

Do some research on oil drilling, oil pipeline, coal producing and energy production where oil rigs sit idle, pipelines aren’t built, coal mines are closed and energy plants are shut down all because of Barack Obama.

And while you’re at it, consider that all of those shuttered jobs force other employers who are dependent on those industries such as restaurants, fuel stations, stores and suppliers to either close or lay people off.

Once again your bias ignorance is startling. Before Obama stepped into office we were shedding 500,000 jobs a month. Actually 700,000. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose from 4.3% in January 2001, peaking at 6.3% in June 2003 and reaching a trough of 4.4% in March 2007. After an economic slowdown, the rate rose again to 6.1% in August 2008 and up to 7.2% in December 2008.[53] From December 2007 when the recession started to December 2008, an additional 3.6 million people became unemployed.[54] And, as of January 1, 2009, his last month in office, the nation lost 655,000 jobs, raising the unemployment rate to 7.8%, the highest level in more than 15 years.[55]  This freefall continued into the first 12 months of the Obama administration which considering the circumstances is completely logical and very hard to turn around. Since the beginning of 2010 we have not have a net loss of jobs and actually there has been a gain.  And I would suggest you do some research regarding Obamas energy policy. We are actually drilling more oil and gas under the Obama administration than was ever done under Bush. As a matter of fact out dependence on outside energy sources had decreased to 47% under Obama,the lowest in 15 years. The high point for dependence on foreign energy actually reached its peak under the Bush administration in 2005 which at that time was 65%. Now you can actually do the research or continue to spout your bullshit uniformed talking points.

For the last 3 years we’ve gotten nothing but personal attacks, disrespect, and outright contempt toward this president.

But disagreeing with the president based on the issues?  Precious little.

The GOP can’t help themselves….they’re so caught up in Obama-Derangement Syndrome.

The GOP makes every disagreement with him personal….and then wonders why people call them racists.

If they’d just stick to the issues, they might have a case…and might have a chance to win.

The Republicans are busy looking for the candidate who can say the meanest, most disrespectful things about the president.

And I say go for it….you’ll hand him 4 more years.

Nominate Newt, or Perry, or Bachmann and see what happens.

You should read this article by a former Bush speech writer:

http://nymag.com/print/?/news/politics/conservatives-david-frum-2011-11/

It’s about the GOP in general, but the sections on how Fox News has taken over the GOP and how this isn’t necessarily a good thing are dead on.

A sample:

“The business model of the conservative media is built on two elements: provoking the audience into a fever of indignation (to keep them watching) and fomenting mistrust of all other information sources (so that they never change the channel). As a commercial proposition, this model has worked brilliantly in the Obama era. As journalism, not so much. As a tool of political mobilization, it backfires, by inciting followers to the point at which they force leaders into confrontations where everybody loses, like the summertime showdown over the debt ceiling.”

Thanks, Juan_Carlo.  That strikes me as dead on.

72% is pretty high.  Higher than I thought, actually.  That means that even if a good number of the GOP will not vote for Obama, they at least don’t seem to buy into the all the hyperbolic rhetoric spewed by Fox News and other conservative media outlets. It gives me a certain amount of hope that the GOP might be more reasonable than their representatives in the media let on.

If Newt wins the nom, Dems will be itching for him to go personal.  Newt’s personal life is a treasure trove of skeletons that an opponent would love to run against, so if he opens that door they will have lots of ammunition to fire back.

Obama is a dirty communist rodent, the sooner he’s out the better.
America needs a Conservative Man/Woman, not a democrat Rat as President.

What planet are you on Harvey, Obama had next to nothing to do with either of those.

On Bin laden all he did was give a yes or no for a mission go on the World most wanted terrorist, gee that’s a tough call isn’t it.

And Gaddafi, well Obama ran away at the first sign of public disapproval/ trouble, thank God the Libyan People had more guts than Obama and killed him, you Kool-Aid swilling idiot.

The president is the commander in chief

googled, obama netanyahu microphone msnbc, 2,950,000 results

Rodents are very social animals, nonetheless the president is neither dirty, nor a communist nor a rodent.

And it’s pretty obvious you need psychiatric help kinda urgently…

.urbandictionary.com( Obama )= Puse Face Pimp Stick

‘A Conservative Man/Woman,’ like Herman Cain/Sarah Palin no doubt.

Well, hop to it and give one of them respected people the Republican Presidential Nominee or is that position still vacant for Donald Trump?

This is basically why Gingrich will never beat Obama. It is such a massive hurdle for Newt that policy will not even come into it. Say what you like about Obama, he is personally a tough fellow to demonise.

You are quite the ignorant person. I was asked to list his failures which I did.

obama said Afghanistan WAS the war we should fight- I guess a terrorist killing 3000 Americans merited no response from you lilly liver  liberals. We should have done nothing, right?

And he got UBL? And just what had UBL done in the last 10 years? Your OWSers have caused more damage in the last 4 moths than UBL had in the last 10 years.

BTW, I do give him credit for the Fast & Furious fiasco.

They are barry’s numbers- I love how you express your ignorance on a daily basis and comment on things you know nothing about.

If Obama isn’t responsible for the death of Osama Bin Laden, then Osama Bin Laden isn’t responsible for the September 11th attacks. I mean..all he did was give the mission a yes or a no…

We didn’t kill Gadhaffi, that was explicitly not on our “to do” list as per Obama and al-Qaeda got more out of it than we did.

Bush inherited a recession too, and he had 9/11′s impact on the economy. It didn’t last forever. He didn’t whine about the mess Clinton left him.

Recessions end with booms, except for when Obama is running the government. He’s gotta go.

No Ethan, as we learned form libs on Mediaite, Obama actuality planned the mission and picked the troops who would carry out the mission.  Yeah, Obama did it all. And just what did killing a guy who had been irrelevant for the last 10 years and who could not even leave his house do for the USA?

What changed in the country because of that?

NOTHING! 

One of his favorite papers turned on him. Obama’s Socialism
speech earned him Three Pinocchio’s from the Washington Post. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/obamas-kansas-speech-some-suspect-facts/2011/12/06/gIQAUU45aO_blog.html?hpid=z1

You mean these unemployment numbers? 

http://articles.businessinsider.com/2010-02-05/wall_street/30088805_1

So you say the unemployment numbers are completely him, you should probably give him some credit (note this chart only goes to Feb. 2010, the numbers only get better from there for Obama.)  These numbers come despite the war that Republicans have waged on public sector jobs.  I’d say they are pretty impressive (and that you should probably look up facts before you spew ignorant opinions.) 

Obama is the best thing that could have happened to Jimmy Carter who is now the second worst President in history!!

I said Obama is PERSONALLY hard to demonise, which is what the GOP are saying.

As to the WP article, sure the Bush tax cuts were not for the rich. So pathetic.

It’s one thing to do a Google search and quite another to actually read the search results.

If you had read any of the results you would have learned that the media who were in attendance during Obama’s open mic attack on Netanyahu all got together and decided NOT to report Obama’s nasty comments, citing “sensitivity of the comments”. 

Obama’s snotty comments were not reported until the French website “Arret sur Images” reported them, forcing the media to cover them.

The pigs who piloted those planes were responsible,without them it would not have happened.
Ethan your logic center must have a hole in it.

Context:

“I can’t stand him. He’s a liar,” Sarkozy said of Netanyahu, according to the website  [Arret sur Images].Obama replied, “You’re tired of him; what about me? I have to deal with him every day,” the site reported.Arret Sur Images (“Freeze Frame”) said journalists had listened in on the conversation but had agreed not to report it. The Reuters and Associated Press news services confirmed that report Tuesday.”We didn’t record it, and to use it would force us to admit that we had cheated,” Arret Sur Images quoted one of the reporters who heard the conversation, whom it did not name. “Also, it would have caused great problems for the people responsible for the event’s organization.”http://tinyurl.com/ArretSurImages 

Thanks for clearing that up and validating my original comment. I appreciate it.

you’re welcome

Let’s talk about something more important instead, like the e-mails just released today by the DOJ today confirming that the obama DOJ was intentionally and illegally selling guns to the Mexican drug gangs with the intention of using the crimes committed with those “American weapons” to attack the second amendment. Subversion of the constitution anyone? Are there trials, convictions, perhaps executions for being accessories to murder and treason in order here? What would your opinion be if it had been a Republican admin that had done this and caused the death of U.S. agents and HUNDREDS of Mexican nationals?
