Obama '08?

Spot on, Izzy. And okieMcdopey is so lost in the haze that he doesn't even realize that he's one of the one's dancing (in your astute analysis), and not one of the rich.

snood, I have seen many tea partiers in the local park and I don't see millionaires.

The tea party is a joke, a supposed grass roots movement set up by a bunch of millionaires, pandering to the racism of a bunch of idiots, who dance to the rich mans tune and work against their own best interests. That's fairly obvious to anyone with half a brain.

You are a joke and frankly an embarrassment to this country and this forum. By the way, I am no rich man in terms of money.

Obama concedes that he has lost the narrative that brought him to the White House against all odds: his vision for making America great. Suskind’s book suggests he went astray in the sway of Wall Street pal Tim Geithner, going too easy on the gluttonous bankers, demanding no important concessions from them and throwing the equitable balance of society out of whack.

Now the president is trapped in two damaging story lines. Is he too weak and immature to do the job? Or is he too cool and distant to do the job?

The Aloof One has to convince voters that he can connect emotionally. In a way, his relationship with Americans now is analogous to a marriage that’s not working. He’s the detached husband; we’re the neglected wife.

Is he paying attention? Does he understand our needs? Or is he just pretending to listen while he watches SportsCenter?

New cracks have begun to show in President Obama’s support amongst African Americans, who have been his strongest supporters. Five months ago, 83 percent of African Americans held “strongly favorable” views of Obama, but in a new Washington Post-ABC news poll that number has dropped to 58 percent. That drop is similar to slipping support for Obama among all groups.

“There is a certain amount of racial loyalty and party loyalty, but eventually that was going to have to weaken,” said Andra Gillespie, a political scientist at Emory University, who studies African Americans. “It’s understandable given the economy.”

You are insane, how am I an embarrassment to your country?

The Great Recession has been a body blow to the blacks, who were already struggling. Obama is the nice boss who cant do their job, at some point the good feelings end, production matters more than atmospherics and biography.

I know enough matey boy, but I have to tell you. Outside the Goodoleyooessovay the Tea Party are a joke. You only take them seriously because your biased media tells you too.
