Hope that Senator Mitch McConnell will be defeated in the Kentucky primary next May. Beyond that, who knows?….
But Marc Thiessen makes a good case for Scott Walker 2016. Read it HERE
Actually, if you begin with the end in mind, it will take a McConnell defeat to even make the consideration of a Walker nomination possible.
What do you think ?
I hate to take exception with a substantive portion of this article but it misses several key factors. Not the least of which is the decision to say: “….. if you like your plan/doctor, you can keep your plan/doctor – period”….., was not made AFTER the 2012 election, it was made way, way before. President Obama and crew were using this talking point in 2009 and 2010 (throughout term #1) and beyond – all the way to this summer.
The article seems to blame the absence of Axelrod, Gibbs and Plouffe for that fatal Obamacare talking point mistake. This is factually incorrect. David Axelrod, Robert Gibbs, David Plouffe and *others*, including those still there, were all present when that decision was made.
(The Hill) Former administration officials and Democratic operatives say President Obama is ill-served by his current White House staff and must reboot his second term team following the disastrous ObamaCare rollout.
First-term insiders argue the White House’s weakness was defined by a lack of preparedness, messaging blunders and failure to keep the president informed.
They say Obama’s team lacks depth after the departures of longtime advisers David Axelrod, David Plouffe, Robert Gibbs and Patrick Gaspard, and suggest new people must be brought on.
“You basically have [White House senior adviser Dan] Pfeiffer and [deputy chief of staff] Rob Nabors running the show politically, and that’s it,” one former administration official said. (more…)
The hypocrisy of the Democrat party really is boundless as this recent example personifies:
New Hampshire Democrats were quick to attack Republican State Representative Marilinda Garcia once she made her intention to seek the her party’s nomination for the second congressional district seat official. Garcia announced her candidacy via a press release on Monday morning; she joins former Republican State Senator Gary Lambert in the race to take on Democratic Congresswoman Anne Kuster.
Within moments of her announcement, prominent Democratic State Rep. Peter Sullivan attacked Garcia on Twitter using sexist language and imagery. Sullivan compared the three-term State Representative, who holds a Master’s degree from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, to reality television celebrity Kim Kardashian. He went on to refer to her as “[Republican State Rep.] Al Baldasarro [sic] in stiletto heels” and “a lightweight.”
Throughout the 2012 and 2013 election cycles, national Democrats launched repeated attacks accusing Republicans of using rhetoric they claimed was demeaning to women.
Sullivan’s tweets are below: (more…)
Receptionist: Hello. Welcome to obamaflowers, my name is Valerie. How may I help you?
Customer: Hello. I received an email from Professional Flowers stating that my flower order has been canceled, and I should go to your exchange to reorder it. I tried your website, but it seems like it is not working. So I am calling the 800 number.
Receptionist: Yes, I am truly sorry about the website. It should be fixed by the end of November. But I can help you?
Customer: Thanks. I ordered a “Spring Bouquet” for our anniversary, and wanted it delivered to my wife…
Receptionist: (interrupting) Sir, “Spring Bouquets” do not meet our minimum standards. I will be happy to provide you with Red Roses.
Customer: But I have always ordered “Spring Bouquets”, done it for years, my wife likes them.
Receptionist: Roses are better, sir. I am sure your wife will love them.
Customer: Well, ok, how much are they?
Receptionist: It depends sir. Do you want our Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum package?
Customer: What’s the difference? (more…)
…. “Watch the employers, because if they start dumping people into Medicare and into Medicaid, and the doctors then say, ‘The burdens are too high, and the reimbursement is too low, we’re not seeing Medicaid patients,’ then all hell is going to break loose”…
Gee, ya think the “Senior Officials in the white house”… might be referring to DENIS MCDONOUGH / VALERIE JARRETT / SAMANTHA POWERS ? I mean that “desperate and weak” line is classic McDonough.
Remember too, Samantha Power, as U.N. Ambassador, is a cabinet level position in the Obama administration – and she hates Israel perhaps even more than ValJar. Oh that Trifecta-of-Hate crew is going to be all kinds of defrosted if Netanyahu pokes back. You better believe it. How dare a jew point fingers back at our Dear Leader.
The duo of McDonough and Jarrett are counting on this Iran deal to distract people from noticing their doctor has locked his/her door. This White House will not allow themselves to be undermined – and absolutely not by Netanyahu. This is a deal you cannot refuse.
WASHINGTON DC – Senior officials in the White House have said that Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu “is desperate and weak,” in reaction to Netanyahu’s remonstrations against the deal struck with Iran over its nuclear weapons program.
Israeli television Channel 10quoted the officials as saying “His pronouncements show a lack of self-confidence,” in an unusually harsh personal attack on Netanyahu. “We are not perturbed by his vocal opposition.” (more…)
Two key points. #1. ABC weekly panel discussions are the official Propaganda proving ground of the administration. Sponsored, created and hosted by Democrat Spinmaster and former communications director, George Stephanopolous, you will find the impetus of the State Media talking points refined. ABC is to weekly Democrat propaganda what CNN is to daily news Propaganda. CNN does the daily gig, ABC does the recaps.
#2. The absolute fawn star of the Obama campaign(s) is David Plouffe. He’s the guy who molds the optics. ValJar is the “ear”, McDonough is the “fixer” the muscle to keep everyone in line, and Plouffe is the guy who packages the scheme to make it saleable to the sheeple. If you want to know what Obama is going to do and say just listen to Plouffe talk about the future. This is a great video in that regard – Think: ‘State of The Union Speech’.
The full Obama POTUS/FLOTUS interview is below the intro video. However, you might want to watch the ABC set up. The fabricated presentation is brutally obvious.
ABC, the home of George Stephanopolous and former home of dispatched reporter, Jake Tapper, is obviously the outlet to run toward when you need comfy and controlled optics.
What strikes the viewer as brutally obvious becomes the fraudulent construct of the entire interview. From the questions, to the framework of optics, you can see the guiding hand of a professionally managed image.
Remember, Barack Obama himself admitted an image re-branding was needed. A rebranding because in a larger sense a more significant portion of the electorate have caught on to the ruse he represents. Everything about this POTUS is a series of lies. All ends justify any means – Obamacare is the personification of this awakening.
In the lead-in teaser video Wa-Wa even mentions the Obama’s have nowhere to live when this DC gig is up. Nowhere to return to. Think about that. This is indeed just like a professional gig, a show, a ruse. Not actually real in any aspect. The Obama’s are as real as the construct of Ward and June Cleaver – only their purpose is far more alarming.
Did Mr. and Mrs. Obama meet with, or personally -as in physically- show their support for U.S. Troops or Service members this year?
You see, in a very real and simple sense, people do that which is important to them; and people avoid that which is unimportant. This is a simple truth in life that many people seem to ignore.
Washington (CNN) – President Obama paid a visit Friday to a group of activists who have been fasting for weeks in the hopes of pressuring Congress to pass new immigration laws.
Obama and his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, visited the group on the National Mall to lend support for the cause. The “Fast for Families” protesters have given up all sustenance except water during their protest, which they hope will force lawmakers to take up immigration reform measures pending on Capitol Hill.
