So Bush was lambasted for going for his base, those evil stupid Christians, but Obama better listen to his or else?

How many times did the press deride Bush's base?

The real story here is: who's his base that he had better listen to?

Answer: the media

Some on Left Souring on Obama

Racists!

It's simply not possible for anyone to fulfill all of the dreams of people who were projecting their dreams on his in the first place.

There are two dimensions by which you judge a president: by his policies and by his behavior. I oppose most of his policies, but I support some. His behavior has been exactly what I expected: inexperienced, and to make mistakes. For example, I'm glad he reversed his decision to release the photos, but he shouldn't have made that decision in the first place. He shouldn't have released the memos. He shouldn't have proclaimed that he was closing Gitmo before he figured out what to do with the prisoners.

The same people protesting his decisions are in the same position Obama was before the election: ignorance. It's easy to throw slogans around when you don't have to be responsible for it.

him over Obama I am glad it's the lefts turn to be disillusioned with their candidates.

They own both house & senate and yet are just as impotent as the Republicans were when they owned all of congress.

This is quite a nice dose of reality for the upcoming zealots who thought money & house payments would just magically appear out of thin air...  

Food for thought to those who did support Obama for Pres.

Do not forget that Republicans want inner city children to have vouchers to pay for a real education at a REAL school for their children with teachers who actually care.  If I lived in the inner city as a parent or child that would be a priority for me!

Democrats will sacrifice inner city children on the alter of the NEA teachers unions as a pay off for their dues and votes.  For the democrats it's all about power and not really caring about your constituents... unless you offer them something in return, of course.

 I am not a harbinger of doom, but I believe it is imperative that we have an informed view of the present climate of our nation. God is still God, and nothing has escaped Him. My prayer is that we be awake to the changes, and would begin to turn our trust and focus more to a loving Sovereign than to our government. Jesus is still the only Savior of the world.. 

 AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

 Dear President Obama, You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and, unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

 You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

 You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.

 You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.

 You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

 You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.

 You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.

 You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

 You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America ' crowd and deliver this message abroad.

 You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

 You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.

 You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

 You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.

 You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.

 You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

 You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

 You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.

 You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.

 You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Reillys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

 You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

 Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Remember, only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier

HITLER speak at a once great university.

I am sick  to see his brown shirts marching in lock step

In addition, father John should be fired. I can't believe he gave obama's political speech invoking the dead grandmother and never mentioning the illegal alien aunti.

Can't remember when I have been so angry. Just watching this TOTUS POTUS leaves me speechless as to how low this country has gone and how far we have traveled in under a year.

We have now joined the university as a once great.....

  Obama ran as a 'cloud' candidate.  That is, he encouraged people to see what they wanted to see.  The problem now is he cannot deliver contradictions.  He has to make decisions that are concrete thereby dissappointing those who believed he thought differently.  But as far as the far left is concerned where can they go?  Obama is as close as they will ever get to the Whitehouse for a long time.

Anyone wish to bet who these malcontents give money to and vote for in 2012?

they are just upset because he has not gone as far out on the left as they are.

Oh, he has gone way to the left but these people are out there past Spock.

He's increased troop levels in Afghanistan, conducted cross-border strikes in Pakistan, reversed himself on releasing inflammatory photos, and is quite probably considering continuing the Bush policies of indefinite detention of terror suspects and enemy combatants and military tribunals of same.

Welcome to the club, Mr President!

NOLO PUGNARE ME OCCIDERE

I submit it's time for another NB survey, poll, or show of hands predicated upon some form of the following question:

Can we now generally stipulate that it is not the intent of Obama to destroy America, or does his alleged desire to do so remain the working hypothesis of a significant number of NewsBusters members?

Here's one for our liberal posters: Obushama

Sure to keep you up nights.

Gary Huggins  One point I'd like to make is that without Christian bases, no one would be discussing ANY results of Obama's cabal. Without God's rule in a society , freedom doesn't exist. When a people abandon Christian principles, destruction results. The U.S. of A. is not an exception to other fallen societies. The biggest, most powerful regimes have all gone caput with moral decline. Unfortunately the same seeds that appear to have destroyed  previous societies are doing the same to us . I know of no exception to this rule of history.

So- this dude and this chick-- were like -walking in a garden. And the dude -he like, loved the chick. So, like over time, they had a couple of kids and he , like really loved them. He was happy with his digs and his style. There was lots of stuff growin in the garden to eat and all.

So everybody was OK with it. But after a while the chick got an itch and she got restless. One day she went for a walk by herself to work things out. She was getting into--like-- I don't want no more kids and like --hey, it's my body and the dude ain't gonna tell me what to do with it. She hears a soft whisper and she sees this other dude sittin in a tree. And he says to her--"Are you happy with the dude??Is all OK? Are you tired of the same old stuff every day?? I think you need some change in your life. I can show you a tree that grows, like the best tasting apples you ever ate." Now this was some slick dude, slim, handsome by some folks opinions. And sure enough, he gets the chick to want to taste that fruit and she thinks like--"He's a god", and she goes with him to the edge of the garden and there's this big old apple tree just outside the garden. It has a sign on it "Universal Health Tree" and a bigger one, "The Tree of Change".

Now this chick really has an itch., but she ain't got the courage to go it alone. So she goes back and she gets the dude who loves her to come with her.They step outside the agrden with the kids and wow, the trees grow behind them and they can't see how to get back in. But they're not too worried cause those apples look so good. So they go to the tree and there's a ladder--but there's a sign- "If you are over 40 years of age--no apples". So, she's not 40 and she says "The kids and I can get enough apples for you and for us. So they are about to climb the ladder when the slick dude says--"Hey, you gotta wait--these folks here who have never worked need those apples a head of you, so just get in line". Now they are in line and every time they get close, the slick one lets another whole group of folks jump in front of them. Finally, the chick says -"Let's go back". But they find they can't. The trees grew behind them and there's no path back. Then she finds the dude who loves her is sick and she asks the slick one to help out and he tells her that everybody gets equal shares and there ain't enough for everybody so her dude has to get better on his own--or that's it, he's a goner.

Meantime, while this little talk is going on, folks by the thousands have been  climbing the ladder and now the only apples left are at the very top where the branches are too thin to hold the folks and they are falling out of the trees to their deaths.So the slick one turns to the chick and tells her that she and her sons will have to plant some more trees and forage for food for all these other folks who don't know how to do it. And by the way--"send your smallest son up to the top of the tree to get some apples for this other group of people who just showed up."

Now, I don't know how the story ends because , even though I and my chick stayed in the garden, the slick one found a way in and took all the fruit from the trees in the garden and have that out to theses other folks who did not know how to take care of trees  and only knew how to eat the fruit.

Now , my chick and I are really hungry, we are not allowed to talk about it or we won't get any food at all. The slick one redistributed all the fruit in the garden to the outside folks. He sent some of them in to plant trees in here, but all they planted was ACORNs and you can't eat an oak tree.  

I overheard the first chick, after a long hard day, saying "boy the apples looked better on the other side, nut I never got to eat one.".

 We are allowed to sit and sing "Kumbaya, my lord" (and you know who that is while we sip a flavored drink. But boy--do I miss the old days.

Oh yeah, one day, my chick says , "I hate the way things turned out". She had to go sit in a compound with others convicted of "hate" crimes.
