…..a “new era of American leadership” that has made the U.S. “safer and stronger and more respected in the world.”  “Because we’re leading around the world, people have a new attitude toward America”

– President Barack Obama (July 23rd, 2012)

This is how the media rolls….  This is how the leftists roll……  This is what happens when your chosen President is a complete failure.   Instead of critiquing the Obama administration’s ineptitude, weakness, complacency and leading from behind, they ignore the failure of President Obama and the State Dept. and attack Romney with feigned outrage for daring to criticize him.

From the peeps at iOTW:

Just like 2008 the media is up to it’s old tricks with Poll manipulation.   Insufferable.

The latest CNN poll shows Obama ahead of Mitt Romney 52 to 47. But the poll drastically oversampled Democrats to get this stunning result.

If a more accurate number of Republicans and Independents were included the poll would show Mitt Romney leading 53 percent to 45 percent for Obama.

The Examiner reported: (more…)

About the media-hyped DNC bounce……  It doesn’t exist !   President Obama is in no better shape today than he was two weeks ago.  It is fictional, false, a complete figment.

But the insufferable water-carrying media is trying to make everyone  believe President Obama’s re-election hopes are better.  They’re not.

Consider this recent examiner article –  The Rasmussen Reports Daily Tracking Poll of the presidential race released today shows President Obama leading Mitt Romney 46 percent to 44 percent. That margin is within the poll’s margin of error and therefore, the race by that result is statistically tied. It appears that Romney gained four percent after the Republican convention and Obama has gained two or three of that percent back after the Democratic National Convention this past week.

The state polls and race for electoral votes shows to be unchanged from the last GOP2112 analysis of the electoral vote race published here August 25, 2012. Not a single state has moved into a different category since then, and Romney maintains the electoral vote lead of 317 to 179 over Obama with 42 electoral votes from Pennsylvania, Minnesota, New Mexico and Oregon remaining in toss-up status. The map above shows which ways the states are leaning in this presidential race.

Here is information and analysis on some of the key swing states:  (continue reading)

A most excellent and succinct article (below) describing the pending doom of the Democrat party.   The signs are everywhere…. you just have to see beyond the media’s curtain.  

The podium at the DNC was just like the podium in Bagdad Iraq circa 1991  2003 (corrected) where we got to laugh nightly at Bagdad Bob telling everyone how the infidels were being crushed by the mighty forces of Iraq’s Elite Republican Guard.   Meanwhile in the background we bore witness to the “Shock and Awe” coalition campaign destroying everything around him.

It was so sad, and yet so comical to watch.  That metaphor describes the modern DNC and is very aptly described in the following article:

(Via WSJ ) Julian Castro is no Barack Obama. And for that, Democrats have themselves to blame.

The focus of this week’s Democratic convention was President Obama. Lost in the adulation was the diminished state to which he has brought his broader party. Today’s Democrats are a shadow of 2008—struggling for re-election, isolated to a handful of states, lacking reform ideas, bereft of a future political bench. It has been a stunning slide. (more…)

“President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people,” [Clint] Eastwood told The Pine Cone this week. “Romney and Ryan would do a much better job running the country, and that’s what everybody needs to know. I may have irritated a lot of the lefties, but I was aiming for people in the middle.”  […]

“I had three points I wanted to make,” Eastwood said. “That not everybody in Hollywood is on the left, that Obama has broken a lot of the promises he made when he took office, and that the people should feel free to get rid of any politician who’s not doing a good job. But I didn’t make up my mind exactly what I was going to say until I said it.”  (read more)

Ahhh, thank heaven the circuses are over, and political discord can advance to the next-to-last stage of smash mouth positioning.    Both sides have had their turn at their highly visible, yet self-indulgent, pep rallies and now it’s time to get down to business.

Smash Mouth Politics

The remainder of September will be filled with punch, and counter-punch, bantering with media pundits keeping score on who lands the most effective blows.   Let the Games Begin, only this year certainly looks more like a cage match blood sport in the works.

Desperation always brings out the very ugliest in Democrats, the more desperate they are the more ugly they become.   Remember the fleabaggers in Wisconsin who bolted for Illinois when they were crushed in the election?   Yup, it is THAT exact level of despair amid the closed circle types of left-wing politicos we are about to witness.

Update 10:00pm –DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and DNC mouthpiece Patrick Gasparad cancel all media appearances while they engage in damage control and coordinate a recovery message.  Reports DNC backroom leaders spinning wildly out of control and off message. 

Update 8:00pm – In typical Democrat manner, the decision to change the platform back was “baked into the cake”.  Regardless of the delegates  votes, the party leadership had decided the risk of exposing their TRUE beliefs was too great.   Here is the proof:  The picture was taken at 6:14 and 09 seconds at the exact moment after the Yea – Nay votes were requested, showing what Villaraigosa was to say next.   There was simply NO OPTION for mayor Villaraigosa to tell the truth or let the delegates actual voice be recorded.  “The cake was baked”. 

Update 6:40pm.  AP reports, CBS confirms, the White House says President Obama made the decision to request change.  Obama personally asked for change: (more…)

….and the message we will deliver in November 2012 will be so strong.  We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it…..

(Via Breitbart) Tomorrow, [today] Democrats officially kick off their convention in Charlotte, NC. On Thursday, President Obama will ascend the stage at Bank of America stadium and try to rekindle the enthusiasm and fervor that greeted his acceptance speech in Denver in 2008. Then, Democrat officials worried about having to turn people away from the speech. Today, they worry about simply filling the seats. And no wonder; the Democrat party has shrunk dramatically during Obama’s term in office.

2010 Election Results

Obama’s policies haven’t helped many Americans. But, they have been an absolute bonanza to one particular group of job-seekers: Republican candidates. Not since Ronald Reagan has any President done more to build up a thriving and energetic GOP.

Let’s review the carnage inflicted on the Democrat party since Obama took office. (more…)
