The Lefts Great Expectations

So Barry got his clock cleaned in the first debate and Joe basically showed his ass during the VP debate but no worries, liberals say Barry'll really bring it tonight.
The excuses are legion, he had an off night, he didn't prepare properly etc.,etc..
To bad he didn't think he had a bad night.

But progressives are fired up now, they say Obama does much better in town hall type debates, They even got a far left CNN "journalist" moderator to pick and choose the questions of the "undecided voters" *cough* leftist plants*cough*  and to throw a little spin into the mix if Obama gets a little confused.
Yup, lots of expectations for a guy who got a Nobel Prize for scratching his behind promising "Hope and Change" to get elected in 2008.
I guess Mitt ain't got much of a chance what with the economy the way it is, gas prices way up and the deficit just chugging along. As far as I know we still ain't got a budget either.

Barry just needs to sell us on his accomplishments, like Obamacare...that hardly anybody wants, along with gays being able to serve openly in the military...while millions have dropped out of the work force because there ain't no freaking jobs. Killing the coal industry and hobbling oil and gas production.
And of course bringing awareness to Big Bird.
Oh yeah....and he killed Bin Laden.

I gotta tell you, the biggest mystery to me is that how could they possibly have been able to find any "undecideds" for this debate at all. Because to me it seems like a no-brainer....Barry has got to go in November and there ain't no way he'll be able to weasel out of it in this debate or any other.

Look!! Another Squirrel!!

So this week we have another idiotic sound bite by another politician. The really news worthy thing was that it wasn't Joe "put ya all in chains" Biden making the moron hit parade.
It was Todd Akin from Missouri.
And of course his remarks have generated a much deserved backlash
Rep. Akin resists mounting calls to withdraw from Senate race after 'rape' comment

The Obamessiah has even jumped into the fray denouncing Akins remarks, as they should be. But herein lies the problem.
Obama has time and uses the press to denounce someone in a single senate race but doesn't seem to have the time or resources to address unemployment, the lack of a budget, rising gas prices, the sky rocketing deficit or any of the other problems that face the people of this nation.
This is just an excuse for Obama to talk about anything else but his piss poor record in office.
Were Rep. Akins remarks stupid and should he be held accountable?
Yes and yes.
The question is should Obama spend his time calling out some GOP senate wannabe from Missouri?
The media, old and new, will make sure Akin's remarks will get a full airing to his constituents and they will decide by ballot.

Obama needs to stop with the distractions and face accountability for his actions and policies over the last 4 years.
Fat chance of that happening.

Gas Price Drop: Much Ado about Nothing

Just before the beginning of the Obama presidency gasoline prices averaged less than $2.00 a gallon, since then they've soared to over $3.80 a gallon.

So now here we are in an election year facing high gas prices and even higher unemployment and the media is making a deal about gas prices dropping on average by 8 cents.

THE RACE: Gas price drop may offer political bonus

You wouldn't know it from campaign rhetoric, but gasoline prices have been trending down.
Six months out, polls show the presidential race is very close and that the frail economy and jobs still top voter worry lists. Thus even a small drop in gas prices could generate big political ripples.
Generally, any slide in gas prices should benefit President Barack Obama more than presumptive GOP challenger Mitt Romney, and vice versa.
After flirting with $4 a gallon earlier this spring, the recent national average of $3.83 a gallon is down eight cents from a month ago.
The drop hasn't registered politically yet. Each party is blaming the other for high pump prices.
Republicans fault Obama for policies they claim are restricting U.S. oil production and pushing up energy costs, including his blocking the Keystone XL Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline. They also say he's taking credit for production increases that owe much to his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush. "No matter how Obama spins it, gas costs too much," says an ad by Crossroads GPS, a Republican super PAC.

Any drop in gas prices is good news but I think it's a little disingenuous for the media to start touting this as a game changer for the Obama administration.
The average price of gas is still to high for the regular guy just trying to make ends meet and support his family.
Just because one Obama EPA official gets caught revealing his disdain for the American consumer and resigns doesn't mean there ain't more waiting to take his place.
