Fox News Panel: Will This Be The Week Everything Turned Around For Obama?

video
» 52 comments

This morning on Fox News Sunday, a roundtable of political analysts discussed President Obama and President Clinton’s Friday joint press conference on the tax deal — and contrary to what most are saying, suggested it may have been a good moment for President Obama.

After watching a clip of Obama exiting Friday’s press conference and handing the reigns to President Clinton, NPR’s Mara Liasson commented: “I do believe that if President Obama is re-elected, the people who write the books on it will show this week as the week when things started to turn around for him. Not only with the deal itself, but also the fact that the White House seems to have gotten over its Clinton-phobia, where they used to eschew everything and every strategy that Clinton ever did. And now, they realize there is something to learn from what Bill Clinton did when he had a divided government…Obama shows that he has no problem with that. It’s a good sign about a leader.”

    “That took a lot for Obama to do that”
    “He’s so swell!”

    Too bad that POS George W. Bush didn’t consult with his father about Iraq before starting that war. It would have saved this country billions and billions of dollars now reflected in the deficit, not to mention thousands of lives.

    And like Congressman Jim McDermmot said on CNN, this tax cut is good for trust fund babies. These people don’t contribute shit in our society, except secret contributions to Republican candidates and the Chamber of Commerce.

  • Tucker P.

    Obama is going to come back next year and say . “Its time for the (R) to give us something since they just got cuts for all there rich friends . ”
    When It was the (D) with the victory here . Un Employment extensions , And a ton of pork . And pet projects .

    Why such the vast difference in a tax raise ?Why 250,000 or one million or none . Why Not 500 million or something like that ? I’d rather the tax run out on them has a concession . Then pork and pet projects .
    (R) look like the winners and won nothing .

    Everytime the republican house passes a bill that will dismantle Obamacare and that bill passes the DEMOCRAT senate, Obama will veto a BIPARTASIAN bill. He will be the president that will be saying no to what the American people want.
    He will do that on enforcing immigration laws.
    He will do that on more tax cuts.
    He will do that on cutting government programs.
    Then will see how he has TURNED it around. LOL

    Yes, this is Obama’s first smart move in two years. Taking a truly bipartisan stance. Negotiating his own bill rather than rely on Reid and Pelosi to dig him into a whole. Making moves that will lead to an actual economic recovery. Putting more money in the pockets of Americans. Finally Obama delivers on his campaign promises!

    No wonder the folks at MSNBC hate it so much. But remember, Rachel and Keith were the same people who assured us that the stimulus — that pointless destruction of a trillion dollars in taxpayer money — was a brilliant move, and were confident that forcing through the ugly Obamacare bill would be extremely popular. The track record is clear: if Obama wants to get re-elected he needs to do the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the pundits on MSNBC demand from him.

    Gordon Blowhard, just because a bill might pass a “Republican” house and a “Democratic” senate doesn’t mean it’s bipartisan. You obviously lack a clear understanding of what that word means. Also, you seem to be lacking the facts on what Obama’s doing. He’s been deporting way more illegals than Bush did, he’s frozen pay for federal employees, and he’s cut taxes. So seriously, please educate yourself instead of regurgitate whatever you read in the darkest corners of the internet. You don’t have an original thought in your head and it’s painfully obvious.

    Thats not a leadership move. It was a simple management decision to keep his pole numbers up. which are sinking fast! All Obama did was use a proven Clinton strategy of moving towards the opposition, and giving in to their demands in order to get major concessions for the working poor and the unemployed. College tax breaks for low- and middle-income students and other anti-poverty measures. Also Obama got a second stimulus to help the sluggish recovery. and the largest one-year business tax incentive in history, expecting to generate more than 1 million jobs. He used Clinton to close the deal. Nothing involving leadership here….

    The above statement is total ignorance. Educate yourself.
    The democrats set the term bipartisan. If they could get two republicans to go along with them they were bipartisan. The American people don’t care how many illegals he deports, he is suing Arizona. He is doing nothing about the sanctuary cities. I guess you didn’t read that he has not REALLY frozen federal employees pay. The loop holes are a mile wide. His tiny tax cuts have all been proposed by republicans before he ever did. The republicans proposed a FULL payroll tax holiday for six months.
    Obamacare has raised the cost of health care already. It will be a major tax increase unless the republicans stop it and they will.
    Save you stupid attacks claiming I don’t know what I am talking about. I have worked for the minority leader of the biggest state in the union. I know more about politics and the issues than you will ever know.
    You are just a coward hiding behind a phony name that has never accomplished anything except to post ignorance on a website.

    Of course anyone that hides behind a prison number can claim to anyone. She even says she is a college student. My guess she is out giving the quarterback a Lewinsky right now.

    This obviously shows how little you actually know about law and how the government works. First of all, Obama is not suing Arizona, the administration is. Big difference. Secondly, even if Obama did agree with the Arizona law, and I’m not saying he does, his administration (the feds) still automatically have to fight it because it isn’t legally kosher. Arizona is overstepping it’s power in terms of how the laws work right now. I’m actually in favor of the Arizona law, just in case you were thinking about calling me out on that. As far as freezing pay, it’s a whole lot more than Bush ever did so I don’t really wanna hear it. And I’d like to hear how exactly “Obamacare” has raised healthcare costs/taxes already.

    And when it comes to posting ignorance on a website, I REALLY wouldn’t talk if I were you. You take the cake on that one, Gordon Blowhard.

    Gordon Blowhard, I’m going to overlook the fact that you’re a very creepy dirty old pervert and let you know that I really have nothing to lie about. I’m a senior Political Science major and right now and I work for a state senator in Oregon. Whatever you did 80 years ago is kind of irrelevant now. I take my work seriously and I’m pretty sure I could wipe the floor with your ignorant ass. I’m sorry you still have a hard on for Reagan. Perhaps you aren’t aware he got senile? Also, sorry that you’re dumber than a 22 year-old girl. I know that must sting, especially to an ugly cave man like you, but you’ll get over it. Again, making up bullshit about my life that is 1) totally false and very silly and 2) totally irrelevant, doesn’t help you look like anything but a batshit crazy old man.

    Why do men want to vote for a female President?
    Because we’d only have to pay her half as much.

    Or this it’s maybe a Curse

    A man is driving up a steep, narrow mountain road. A woman is driving down the same road. As they pass each other, the woman leans out of the window and yells “PIG!!!”

    The man immediately leans out of his window and replies, “BITCH!!!”

    They each continue on their way, and ….. as the man rounds the next
    corner, he crashes into a pig in the middle of the road ….. and dies immediately.

    If only men would listen.

    I watched the Obama to Clinton press conference. When Obama turned it over to Clinton and walked out, I waited for something else to happen…. then I thought ‘Holy S**t, he has resigned! Then I thought ‘but he can’t just quit and put Clinton in charge!!” After several minutes of confusion I understood that this is the way he has handled his entire Presidency; put others in charge of making decisions and implementing policy while he establishes a position as the ‘spiritual leader of the World’. Kind of like a certain ‘Preacher Wright’ who prefers to tell us how to live our lives without really getting involved on a day to day basis.

    It was a very surreal experience for me.

  • Bronco46

    Obama looked weak! Having to bring “Dad” in prop him up made him appear small and unsure. His lack of experience as an executive is really starting to show.

  • Nahu Tuk

    If anything, 0bama is playing off the midterm election results to try and reinvent himself as a moderate (just as Cliton did) so he can be reelected. But, people would be foolish to think he could ever change. However, if the polls tell him there is still no way in hell he could ever be reelected, he will step down and Cliton will seek the nomination.
