President Obama: The Democratic Ticket’s Weak Link
Joe Biden is absolved.
After Vice President Joe Biden suggested last week that Republicans would “put y’all back in chains,” there were calls both public and private for President Obama to remove the former Delaware Senator from the Democratic ticket in favor of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The former First Lady is said not to be interested in playing second fiddle to Obama. It could be that Hillary doesn’t want to step aboard a sinking ship.
Of course, there’s no doubt that Biden has had a long history of embarrassing gaffes going back at least a quarter century when he plagiarized the biography of then British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock as his own. But even Biden has never written an autobiography with composite characters. From where I sit, Biden isn’t the weak link on the Democratic ticket.
If a Republican presidential candidate had said he had visited 57 states with one to go, said candidate would have been branded by the liberal media as stupid. If a Republican presidential candidate had claimed 10,000 people had been killed by a tornado in Kansas, said candidate would have faced a whirlwind of negative coverage. If a Republican presidential candidate had said African Americans were a bitter people who clang to guns and religion there would be a hell to pay for said candidate.
But then Barack Obama isn’t a Republican or, heaven forbid, a conservative. As such he was held to the lowest of expectations and the lowest of standards during the 2008 election. Of course, things haven’t changed much in three and a half years in the White House. Obama is still held to the lowest of expectations and the lowest of standards.
It is why Obama can get away with referring to a Navy corpsman as a ”corpsemen.”
It is why Obama can get away with seeing fallen soldiers in the audience.
It is why Obama can get away with making a joke about the Special Olympics.
It is why Obama can get away with speaking of the Austrian language.
It is why Obama can get away with saying he’s here in Asia while standing on American soil.
It is why Obama can get away with offending the British when Mitt Romney can’t. Not only can he refer to The Falkland Islands as The Malvinas, he can call them The Maldives if he darn well pleases.
It is why Obama can get away with saying that the Supreme Court overturning Obamacare would be unprecedented despite more than 200 years of American jurisprudence to the contrary.
If a Republican President had said any of these things described above, the liberal media would declare the Commander-in-Chief public idiot number one. But since these things have been uttered by a Democratic President (and the first African-American President at that), the liberal media have been protecting Obama from himself.
But the liberal media can’t protect President Obama forever. The liberal media can’t protect Obama from Mitt Romney. Obama has to stand on his own two feet when he faces Romney one on one in three presidential debates this fall. With no teleprompter to guide him, Obama simply isn’t intelligent enough to be in the same room with Romney let alone qualified to fill an entry level position in one of Romney’s companies.
Now one could say that I am underestimating President Obama. Believe me, I am not. Obama clawed his way through the Clintons to win the Democratic Party nomination four years ago. He opted out of public financing and outspent, out-organized, and out-campaigned John McCain. Given his demagogic disposition, Obama views the Oval Office as an entitlement and as such he is a man who plays for keeps.
But when Obama and Romney go toe to toe, the American electorate will realize that Joe Biden isn’t the problem. It will be at that moment the American electorate realizes that President Obama is the problem. It will be at that moment the American electorate realizes Obama is an albatross around America’s neck. It will be at that moment the American electorate concludes Barack Obama is the weak link on the Democratic Party ticket and thus unworthy of a second term in office.

We all know Obama is a hack who is in the hands of handlers and consultants who tell everything to do everyday. He can't even go to the bathroom without their permission. He has been a terrible president. The big question is can Romney beat him. I have hopes. He just called for a full audit of the Federal Reserve. Now if he gets rid of those warmonger staff memebers and pushes a more peaceful foreign policy maybe he can get the votes of the young people, women, and independents that he needs. Romney has to show he has what it takes. He has slightly more then 2 months to do it.
benny havens| 8.21.12 @ 6:59AM
There is no doubt these two can be called dumb and dumber. However, the debates, if we can really call them debates, will not be a show of vision, policy explanation or executive superiority. Just look at who is sponsoring the debates.
Their questions will be along these lines. To Obama, What is your favorite pizza? What songs do you whistle in the shower? Do you have a digital alarm clock?
For Romney, How many houses do you own? How come you didn’t show your taxes since the 9th grade? How much did you pay for your wife’s horse?
The media will stay as far away from the real issues as possible affording Dumb and Dumber another shot at the Oval Office.
Jacob McCandles| 8.21.12 @ 9:51AM
I will not be difficult for Romney to clean Os clock in the debates, as long as Romney makes it a DEBATE. That is, he must avoid the boring trap the moderators will set-which is having each man recite this plan, that plan, or a list of talking points. If Romney ENGAGES BHO, he'll win. For example: Mr. President, exactly what is your plan to avoid Medicare's inevitable collapse? How are demographic shifts going to affect this? Do you know the numbers? If not let me educate you.....
The more direct back and forth he demands, the more nervous and flustered Obama will become. Facts are facts: Romney must reinforce this over and over.
benny havens| 8.21.12 @ 11:16AM
I agree. However, as long as the original questions are along policy lines, Romney wins. Obama knows this and so does the media.
That is why I say the media should be prevented from conducting the debates.

Aristocat| 8.21.12 @ 7:29AM
Jack is right about war-mongering...It was Catholics who opposed the disastrous invasion of Iraq which led to over 100,000 dead & thousands permanently disabled....Pat Buchanan, Joe Sobran, Michael Novak, & 2 popes....The more we learn about Bush's war, the worse it looks...There was no internal discussion or debate, there were mis-representations to the public, and did you know this: Sadam Hussein offered to leave Iraq before the invasion in exchange for money & Bush turned him down....Bush destroyed the Republican Party and this led to Obamacare.

Don't know if the bit regarding Hussein is true; if it is, I congratulate President Bush on making the right call. The notion that paying off Hussein would have been a morally acceptable act is absurd on it's face and unworthy of serious consideration.
Dai Alanye | 8.21.12 @ 2:51PM
Just about every statement Aristocat makes is inaccurate or dishonest. Iraq, despite all the criticism of it, is at least a partial success at present. Afghanistan, originally a remarkable success when fought Don Rumsfeld's way, is looking extremely shaky when fought Barack Obama's way
There was plenty of internal debate about Iraq, and far too much international debate, which had the effect of giving Saddam more time to set up his guerrilla cadres and move possible WMD to Syria. The casualty numbers Aristocat strews about are taken directly from pro-Muslim propaganda sites.
Drunken Sailor| 8.21.12 @ 3:03PM
That would explain his hesitation to post links backing his claims.
Aristocat| 8.22.12 @ 1:07AM
Yah, Iraq was a great success...It's now a satellite of Iran...Bush's invasion of Iraq was illegal and immoral...The Christians of Iraq were either massacred or fled into exile...Why do you think the Democrats took over Congress in 2006 & the White House in 2008 ? Because of the moron Bush. I am a Reagan Republican.

I think something akin to "Don't mess with us, we won't mess with you. Mess with us, get nuked back to the Stone Age." should be effecie3nt and brutal enough for my tastes. Of course, with the Muslims, the Stone Age doesn't represent too much difference from their current state of civilization (using the term loosely here).

My personal opinion from observation is that Obama made the usual mistake of assuming that Satan takes partners in his enterprises. Consult Luke Chapter 4 for further details, or if you're not religious, ask Saruman how that worked out for him. However, when Satan gets tired of his puppets, he drops the strings, and there stands the Emperor in his nekkidness, revealed to the world.
Jimmy Carter was a very bad president, but he was an intelligent, educated man. Obama will not find as many doors open to him when he is booted down Pennsylvania Avenue in a few months. I hope they check his pockets when he leaves.
c. j. acworth| 8.21.12 @ 8:31AM
I'm afraid Obama will have plenty of doors open to him should he get the boot he so richly deserves. He will be even worse than Carter as an ex-president, on every other Sunday talk show making whatever trouble he can for the new administration, and constantly reminding us how lucky we were to have him and how stupid and ungrateful we were to toss him out. The lap-dog media will, of course, lap it up. I bet he'll even try for a rematch in 2016. Bet me?
cuban pete| 8.21.12 @ 10:24AM
I would rather have him on the Sunday talk shows-which I never watch-"making whatever trouble he can" than in the Oval office.
He and his compatriots in the MSM can sit around and second guess Romney while he starts to clean up the mess BHO has created.

It is the entire pervasive leftist culture that has poisioned American society to such an extent that the Ds have an absolute free ride.
Dope and Chains are two very pathetic human beings, and the fact that they have achieved such success in American politics speaks to how sick our society has become.
We need more than just an election change, we need to change those who are in charge of setting the tone for our society.
We need to start with the media and clean house.
Nancy in NC| 8.21.12 @ 9:30AM
I agree, but we need to clean out the education system as well.
Our public schools are ran by a bunch of lefties who are dumber than a box of rocks. Children graduate school with not even a modicum of knowledge about our history (well, none of the good stuff) or the Constitution and the Founders. Often they can't even name Washington as the father of our Country. Then we pay the big bucks to send them to universities ran by socialists, Marxist and Communists. Wow...it's a wonder we haven't already went off the cliff. Four more years of this buffon should finish us off.
The old adage: When anything goes, everything's gone comes to mind. Are we there yet?
Trinacria| 8.21.12 @ 12:47PM
You're right, of course, but let's face it - it will always be thus. Leftists will always gravitate to those jobs that require the least work. As long as schools remain a place where one can receive a full salary and benefits for working 6 hours a day for only 8 months out of a year without the need to have one's ideas challenged by thinking adults, they will remain a magnet for liberals.
RAM| 8.21.12 @ 8:06AM
Since conservatives believe in individual responsibility, how can we blame politicians, media, etc., for the sorry state of our country without holding voters accountable? Did somebody force them at gunpoint to elect the various liars and statists?
Anthony| 8.21.12 @ 8:43AM
Quite true, Americans deserve the fair share of the blame. We do get the government we deserve.
However, those of us who are paying attention and voting the right way are not always the ones who get our wishes granted.
Not to mention, sometimes our choices are really not choices, this has been a slow decent into the abyss.
pogybait| 8.21.12 @ 9:04AM
Ram, perhaps and just perhaps with the over reaching of the left along with the bias of the media will warrant a good number of voters to reject the current white house resident. However, the real problem then will be the leadership and a vast number of members in both houses. We need real legislatures not a bunch of gutless wonders, which is why our President is ruling by decree. We have now become subjects not voters.
scotchieguy| 8.21.12 @ 10:02AM
Mark Levin said, it is not enough to win the presidency, win the Senate, and hold the House. The real work is actually undoing what Obama and the left have done to this republic. Will these republicans, if they win in November, have the balls to undo the damage, or will they cave and do what they always do and just try to have the left and the media like them?
Mars the Avenger| 8.21.12 @ 12:37PM
Unfortunately they may cave. They've done it before, what would make anyone think they'd act differently now? Why else is the Republican Party called the Stupid Party?

JD| 8.21.12 @ 11:57AM
RAM, what a dishonest question! Conservatives have been the party holding the people responsible for their share of their problems. It is the Left who gets angry when we suggest that people own their problems - they prefer to tell the poor and middle class that they are all innocent victims.
The problem that seems to blow the mind of every Leftist is that we blame EVERYONE for their share of the problem, whereas your side seems incapable of comprehending the idea of more than one guilty party. For example, your people see any blaming of non-banks as a claim that banks are blameless.
John Navratil| 8.21.12 @ 12:27PM
RAM,
We can start by observing that the government has a fatal conflict of interest when it educates its own citizenry. A government which all but compels attendance at government schools sits in the catbird seat.
Mars the Avenger| 8.21.12 @ 12:38PM
Absolutely correct. Somehow we have to break the monopoly and the unions, if for anything, to improve prospects for our children and grandchildren.
Von Mises Jr| 8.21.12 @ 8:32AM
The liberal MSM do not criticize Obama since they are "racist." They see him first and foremost as "the First Black President."
Conservatives probably wouldn't have paid much noticed of his skin color except that this is all the liberals talk about. On this site and other conservative blogs, writers and comments focus almost exclusively on his policies. And they suck. Socialism has nothing to do with skin color.
PolishKnight| 8.21.12 @ 10:09AM
I have friends who are liberals and they are frustrated that after a good day of bashing whites and praising non-whites as the solution to all problems (and getting a Nobel prize for peace simply by being elected) that:
A) The magical Swedish utopia hasn't happened yet. It's been almost 4 years!
B) Non-Government union whites are fleeing like the plague.
So they bluster out: "We help the middle class!" and "Get the rich!" over and over, like a broken record from the FDR era, hoping to trick their lost base into showing up.
What we have, folks, is the Democrat paradigm of inner cities being taken on a national level. Democrats themselves don't want to live in the inner cities they created but they could take the limo out to the suburbs and live the fantasy.
But that doesn't work anymore. Putting a non-white male on the ticket wasn't magic for them. They got their "historical" moment. Now what? Find another ambulance chasing trial lawyer? Or a Vietnam war protester to run as a veteran? How about a man-hating feminist?
The Obama election was a magical moment for them in a way. GWB was hated, McCain ran as a G_H_Bush replacement (friendly to the left), and it was "historical" after all. But that lightning isn't going to strike twice. Ever. It's a lost Kodak moment. Now what do they do?
Von Mises Jr| 8.21.12 @ 10:34AM
The magic is SO gone that most of the country doesn't even listen to him or the MSM anymore.
The stupid people may watch TV for entertainment, but they have no hope in this utter failure.

Let not get ahead of ourselves here. Obama could look stupid to this writer (and me) during the debates, but if the liberal media says it was a "tie" or that Romney was the stupid one, then that media push will help Obama one more time.
PolishKnight| 8.21.12 @ 10:28AM
Which is why I laugh at the media's bellyaching over their lost profits and dying industry. Let's look at it from a business situation:
The mainstream media in the USA is largely a redundant distribution system for editorial copy from the NYT and Democrat party press releases. If you read the urban city rag in most cities (since they are largely controlled by the left via the welfare state demographic settling in there), then you're basically getting the same newspaper as in any other such city. It's like "USA Today".
So for national coverage, nearly all the editors, writers, and even reporters are redundant. The party that loves diversity is shamelessly uniform. In private industry, it's obviously ripe for a shakeout. In the meantime, there are a handful of conservative newspapers in the USA such as Orange County Register and the Washington Times. They get a larger share of a comparative market. It's like two big fish sharing a similar size pond to hundreds of smaller fish.
So now the smaller fish have to each each other alive. Get the popcorn and enjoy folks!

I hope you are right Quinn, but I don't think the 50% who get one or more forms of welfare from the government give a shit as to how smart the person is who is handing them, AND will continue handing them, OUR money.
Bam Bam will promise them more and more, and Romney will have to explain all the cuts in Ryan's plan. I hope it works, but I am not so sure.
To the idiot who is still ragging on the Iraq war, EVERY country with an intelligenc agency believed to the fullest that Iraq had stockpiles of WMD's. After 9/11 happened, those weapons were the reason for going to war. We could not allow Hussein to hand those over to al Qaeda. Hussein led everyone, including his own generals, that he did possess such weapons.

"It will be at that moment the American electorate realizes that President Obama is the problem . . ."
Sorry, but if they haven't figured it out already--and they DID put the man in office--there will be nothing special about that moment for the "American electorate."
Most of the trouble is a lemming-like electorate, idiotized by a corrupt culture aggressively fostered for decades now by the Left.
Paul Ryan put it more gently when he pointed out some months ago that 49 percent of the nation is now on the dole. Mr. Ryan himself possesses in abundance the first quality necessary in a leader: he's a good man. But a very large chunk of the "American electorate" can no longer recognize that quality, much less its significance to sound governance.
And now back to "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (1939), in which Jimmy Stewart evinces a quality still recognizable to the "American electorate" back when the Left's project was in its earlier stages.
JD| 8.21.12 @ 11:59AM
Debates won't help Romney. He could clean Obama's clock thoroughly in a debate, but the vast majority of voters won't watch it. They'll wait until the next morning and let CNN tell them the summary of the debate, and CNN will tell them that Obama won!

Dai Alanye | 8.21.12 @ 3:03PM
The plain facts are that Obama, despite an excellent job of acting, is both ignorant and far less intelligent than originally seemed the case.
The basic job of a community organizer is to stir other people to action. As President, he has allowed Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and his Chicago boys to govern the nation, while he took credit for their seeming achievements. But the voters began to catch on quite early, as witness the 2010 elections. Now we'll find out whether the education stuck.

BackToBasics| 8.21.12 @ 12:58PM
It would not surprise me if the 57 states her refers to come from his education in Indonesia. They may confuse American protectorates as states and not know the actual count of protectorates.
I do not say this in Obam's defense. He still should know of course that there are 50 states and probably didn't. It also is a big negative that much of his formative years were in Indonesia.
As for referring to Hawaii as Asia, I do not think this was a mistake. Maybe it's been said in a whisper but I've not seen or heard of one pundit or reporter or political analyst yet question how he could make such a "mistake" since he lived many years in Hawaii himself!!
It's really incredible that he could say such a thing after having lived there and "claimed" that he was born there!!
It was not a mistake on his part. I think it is his way of showing contempt for what he sees as American imperialism.
He may have a secret affinity to make Hawaii part of Asia. This would fit in with his strategy to downsize America.
TLP| 8.21.12 @ 7:50PM
There's a REASON that he won't release his College Paperwork, or his Passport.
He got a Fullbright Scholarship.
Did he get one for Americans?
Or, did he get one for Foreign Students?
We've already seen his BIOGRAPHY for his first book, that proclaimed him as KENYAN BORN.
Why would the Publishers do that, of it wasn't true?
He was ADOPTED, as a CHILD, by his Indonesian Stepfather, in Indonesia.
If there is anyone out there, that knows anything about Citizenship Laws?
Tell me what transpires, when a CHILD is adopted by a Foreign National, in a Foreign Country.
We have the second greatest story ever told, that nobody wants to tell.
Unfckingbelievable.
BackToBasics| 8.21.12 @ 11:51PM
I'm still waiting for a surprise before the election. Maybe it will be an Israeli-Iranian war with American involvement or I beleive he still has time to drop Biden, some sort of civil unrest?? If it looks for sre like he will lose, he may pull out all the stops.
I've mentioned it here before too, if he does lose, look for maximum Executive Orders between election and January 20, with one such as possibility as a blanket amnesty for all illegals.

The only fly in the ointment as I can see it, is the fact that the liberal media controls the agenda in the debates. They control the questions and the questioning. So, will they carefully craft the questions so as not to embarrass Obama? And, if they do, will it be so transparent as to render the debates as inconsequential? We will have to see.

Certainly BHO is a lead weight.
To boot, mightn’t the majority of Americans LIKE him, as he is, and as they themselves are---peas in a pod?
I’m hearing Carl Nielsen’s 4th symphony, the “Inextinguishable”. The first movement features a run of “blah, blah, blah, blah, blah”, which comes the closest to a belly laugh I’ve ever come across in classical music.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!”
Yes, the BHO soap opera, our own Caligula for our fiery times, is too funny, and it can’t be put out.
Besides, the critical days ahead of us are not truly about Obama. He’s just the titular head of the latest viral thrust of the destructive aspect of reality.
Remember Karl Rove as GWB’S “brain”?
Well, it’s Obama’s brain trust, not just him, who is bringing America to its knees.
And, THEY aren’t affirmative action babies! Even a dull knife, like Obama, can hire sharp ones, as well as bazookas and nukes!
“Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!”

And all this wonderful pinko Democrat party member realization (I assume that is who Mr. Goldstein is referring to when he says American electorate since any sentient being long ago concluded Obama, or whoever he is, is an empty suit) is going to happen in spite of the pinko PPO moderators who will ask Obama, or whoever he is, softball questions which he will answer with filibuster length and meaninglessness unchallenged by said moderators. PPO stands for Putrid Propaganda Organ formerly known as MSM.

My concern with POTUS and his power circle is not the gaffes, they are radical Leftists.
We have a President mentored by Frank Marshall Davis, the connections to Valerie Jarrett, David Axelrod's families are documented. O's mom and dad both radicals, he admittedly sought out marxist professors / students, governs by Executive Order, is waiting to unleash more regulations to attack the private sector right after the election, embraces our enemies and tosses our allies under the bus and this race is deemed close? Really?

There is a difference when you have Malice in your heart and are trying to control private matters of another person(Women) or restrict and denigrate others (Gay's and Lesbians) and merely trying to 'Riff' and 'Jive' a bit too hard.Who is Biden trying to control? The Rich and other 1%ers....cry me a river.

Does malice show up on an MRI?
You KNOW that we believe in the personhood of the unborn. You KNOW that we believe that government should not make policy for or against homosexuals.
You KNOW that you are lying, and you KNOW that you are a hypocrite.

The malice resides in the bitterly jealous hearts of those who wish to steal from their neighbors.
It's not nice to steal.
You might get shot or something.

'It is why Obama can get away with referring to Coast Guard personnel as "corpsemen."'
Numbnut! Navy medics (corpsmen) are the ones he called "corpsmen".
Go sit with Biden.
