re: #79 Diamond Bullet

These are the reasons Obama will get blown out of the water in 2012. Even his most virulent detractors, myself included, never envisioned he’d go this slap-happy this quickly… .I just hope there’s still a recognizable America left when we go back to the polls to punt this ninny.

I hope your first sentence goes from your keyboard to God’s eyes.

But, sadly, I worry that Obama will adapt by the time 2012 comes around. The bone-headed shit he’s trying to foist on us now will be forgotten. The media and Obama apologists will spin consequences of his destruction, they’ll explain it away as “Bush’s fault,” “the market’s fault,” “unforseen events.” Obama will get more sneaky about what he’s doing, or he’ll tone it down and, like the snake oil salesman he is, try to convince everybody he’s doing the opposite of what he’s actually doing.

See, the problem is that liberals like President O get judged on their intentions. As long as their intentions are good (regardless of the consequences of their actions), they are considered saints by their supporters. Conservatives, on the other hand, get judged harshly when their actions go wrong, ignored when their actions go right (i.e. Iraq war) and their motives, according to their opponents, are always nefarious.
