... the liberal law professor who campaigned against torture and the Iraq war now personally makes the final decisions on the “kill list,” targets for drone strikes. “A unilateral campaign of death is untenable,”...
On Thursday, Bill Clinton once more telegraphed that he considers Obama a lightweight...
Bluntly contradicting the Obama campaign theme that Romney is a heartless corporate raider, Clinton told CNN that the Republican’s record at Bain was “sterling.” (and (he) crosses the qualification threshold)

... the president conceded ... that “our economy is still facing some serious headwinds”
The president who started off with such dazzle now seems incapable of stimulating either the economy or the voters. His campaign is offering Obama 2012 car magnets for a donation of $10; cat collars reading “I Meow for Michelle” for $12; an Obama grill spatula for $40, and discounted hoodies and T-shirts. How the mighty have fallen.
Once glowing, his press is now burning. “To a very real degree, 2008’s candidate of hope stands poised to become 2012’s candidate of fear,” John Heilemann wrote in New York magazine, noting that because Obama feels he can’t run on his record, his campaign will resort to nuking Romney.

In some ways, he’s still finding himself, too absorbed to see what’s not working. But the White House is a very hard place to go on a vision quest, especially with a storm brewing.
Without the Classical Columns, without the spiffy "Hope and Change" and without a media fawning and stumbling over Obama to record and videotape his every word... when the show is over, the lights go out... we find ourselves with a very small ineffectual president. And it's about time the rest of the starry-eyed in our country figures this out.
Maureen Dowd, the New York Times... that's a big step forward.
I was listening to NPR yesterday and a story about the increasing unemployment numbers was really sounding like they also are giving up on the stealth candidate. Starting to realize they bought a pig in a poke. Vetting can be a good thing, it eliminated for the GOP Michelle Bachman & Newt Gingrich.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
So the hero of the left Clinton disagrees with Obama on how to handle the economy, (specifically tax policy) and he doesn't think Romney's business success is bad like Obama does.
In ten years or more, will liberals look back and say "we need a president like Obama who was so smart about how to fix the economy"? IMO, Obama will be remembered just like Carter...you never ever hear anyone praise Carter for his economic insight... not even the most flaming liberal.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
