DAN RATHER: Part of the undertow in the coming election is going to be President Obama's leadership. And the Republicans will make a case and a lot of independents will buy this argument. "Listen he just hasn't been, look at the health care bill. It was his number one priority. It took him forever to get it through and he had to compromise it to death." And a version of, "Listen he's a nice person, he's very articulate" this is what's been used against him, "but he couldn't sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic."

What in the world is Dan talking about? I could not in 1,000 years think of a more insensitive analogy. Does Dan's thinking reflect a dark underlying stream of consciousness issue?

SAS,

Think of the pandemonium and all the screams of protest that would ensue if say for example a Charles Krauthammer would have used the analogy Dan the liberal Kook Fringe used on TV on Sunday. I think Dan the liberal Kook Fringe has some deep psychological issues buried deep within that id and ego.

I was reading an article on Obama and his popularity, people really like the guy but he is considered a poor leader.

One of the smartest presidents in modern history was Jimmy Carter( Engineering degree from the Naval Academy, he graduated 59th out of 820) but he was a poor president. Truman never attended college was well thought of of and now considered a success but was basically forced to the side to bring in Eisenhower. The last Bush sort of had paper credentials,(questions on how he got into college and his military non career) is considered a moron by most people across the World and many here. Yet the guy was able to accomplish his agenda in congress.

I was reading some poll results on WSJ On-line and some other mag that seemed to cite the same polls. People hate congress democrat and republican. Consider them part of the problem, but Obama is a guy they like. But he is getting failing poll numbers within his own Party for a lack of leadership skills. Some say the right candidate could force the setting prez out in a hard fought primary fight. Trouble is in those scenarios the sitting party never wins!!
Further both articles said that America believes the rich need to be taxed more, The upper middle class are not paying their fair share of the tax
burden. That congress needed to be creating jobs and not playing with health care. The kicker that surprised me was that overall that religious lobby's had to much power in Washington. Corporate interests had to much influence in Washington. These are not commie pinko media driven polls that the right considered biased but the polls they cited were some of the polling numbers that right always use.

My opinion the Tea Party folks are popular because they are anti status quo, but as a friend that works for Alexander told me if this grass root movement ever takes hold the Republican Country club rank and file would get their asses kicked from the momentum. The old common man needs relief lets kick the rich man's ass. Or as the old school use to call it POPULISM
