Outpost America

Commentary In WaPo by Pat Cadell and Doug Schoen Says It All

2010-10-30T09:17:00.001-07:00

The Washington Post has an opinion piece which I consider a must read. Written by Patrick H. Caddell and Douglas E. Schoen, these two well known and respected Democrats have distilled this administration for the reader and leave nothing to the imagination on the Obama Presidency. A Divisive Obama Undercuts The Presidency

It starts out:

“A divisive Obama undercuts the presidency

By Patrick H. Caddell and Douglas E. Schoen

Saturday, October 30, 2010

President Obama's post-partisan America has disappeared, replaced by the politics of polarization, resentment and division.

In a Univision interview on Monday, the president, who campaigned in 2008 by referring not to a "Red America" or a "Blue America" but a United States of America, urged Hispanic listeners to vote in this spirit: "We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us."

Recently, Obama suggested that if Republicans gain control of the House and/or Senate as forecast, he expects not reconciliation and unity but "hand-to-hand combat" on Capitol Hill.

What a change two years can bring.

We can think of only one other recent president who would display such indifference to the majesty of his office: Richard Nixon…”

It concludes with: “Whatever the caliber of Obama's tactics, they might achieve some short-term success. The Republican Party has offered no narrative or broad solution, and it has campaigned exclusively to take advantage of the negative environment. It contributes merely a promise of a more hostile environment after Tuesday.

With the country beset by economic and other problems, it is incendiary that the president is not offering a higher vision for the nation but has instead chosen a strategy of rank division. This is an attempt to distract from the perceived failures of his administration. On issue after issue this administration has acted in ways that are weakening the office of the president.”

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) Waiting To Become Senate Minority Leader

2010-10-30T08:10:00.001-07:00

It looks like the democrats are fully aware that Tuesday’s elections will sweep many of the old line, long time, multi term aparatchiks out of office and turn the control of the House and perhaps the Senate over to the Republicans. Even though the Dems Senate election committee dumped an additional $500,000 into Harry Reid’s campaign in the last days in hopes of stemming the growing tide against the democrat party by America, they’ve reconciled to the fact that the democrat party days are numbered, at least for now. Senator Charles, “Chuck”, Schumer is in the wings waiting to assume the role he has long manipulated for, the democrat Senate leader. Though he’d rather be the majority leader, it appears America has had it with the democrats, for at least now. Sentiments against democrats has grown much larger than even the democrat party itself counted on. Their cramming down the throats of Americans a health care bill that 70% of Americans did not want or ask for, the bailouts of banks, the take over of automobile companies that amounted to nothing more than handing over control to unions, and a trillions in deficits that have turned this country into Haiti under the democrats control since 2007.

Did Obama Make a Racist Remark? “Republicans Gotta Sit In The Back” What Does The Arrogant One Mean?

2010-10-25T23:25:00.001-07:00

“ "we can't have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back."

This is the first President in my memory who is so absolutely shameless in his street agitator rhetoric and his inability to connect with people on any level. Obama seems to have stayed in Chicago and stuck in the small time game of Alinsky agitating phrases.

WikiLeaks Vindicates Bush. No Wonder Dems Upset!

2010-10-25T11:14:00.001-07:00

Too bad, but it seems that within the WikiLeaks pile of released docs is the fact that reports vindicate GW Bush and the claim that Iran trained insurgents/terrorists and supplied munitions for IED’s and other killer explosives. It also asserts that the WMD’s were moved to Syria in the run up to the war and the endless delays in the UN to allow the Russians to assist in the transportation to their puppet state.

Obamaconomists Signal Their Deficit Fixes

2010-10-25T10:38:00.001-07:00

The day Obama announced the formation of the deficit reduction panel we all knew it was to provide cover for the impending tax increases, deduction eliminations and that often talked about “Value Added Tax” –VAT. So, it wasn’t surprising that the media started to send out little signals from the White House…”Obama Will Focus On Fiscal Restraint In 2nd Half of term” or some such nonsense. Then those tidbits were followed by, “The hugely popular mortgage-interest tax deduction could be targeted by a bipartisan commission charged with finding ways to chop the deficit, according to a report published Monday. “ as reported by CBS’s MarketWatch. It also mentioned the “child tax credits and payment for health insurance with pretax dollars all could be put in jeopardy by the deficit commission, which is to issue recommendations on balancing the budget by 2015. “ Add to that the White House’s defiant stand against renewing the Bush era tax schedules (which the dems call tax cuts for the rich) and a sudden “we can talk about it” to make it appear as if the administration sees the writing on the wall about the huge losses in the election. The fact is Obama will not moderate his socialist agenda at all no matter how much the dem losses destroy the party. Obama isn’t really a democrat, but a Marxist socialist who could only find a home in the democrat party because its agenda so closely aligns itself to communist theology.

Democrats Predict GOP Tsunami On Election Day 2010

2010-10-20T18:59:00.001-07:00

Chris Matthews laments after the upcoming election the democrats will only be on the left and right coasts. Democrat incumbents are running as fiscal conservatives and not mentioning the party they belong to or running ads that claim they voted against TARP, auto bailouts, Cap & Trade and the healthcare bills.

The Howard Dean scream has arrived!
