Obama's Neverending Campaign and His Complete Abdication of Actual Governance Functions
Red Alert Media spells the tactic out.
Does this sound familiar? 1) There is an important problem that requires Congress and the President to act. (entitlement reform, viable budget, sequestration, fiscal cliff, debt limit hike, etc.) 2) House Republicans propose and pass a bill with what they consider a good solution to the problem. 3) President Obama and Senate Democrats realize it is easier to attack the Republican plan than propose their own, so they refuse to propose a real bill. 4) President Obama delivers several campaign-like speeches filled with strawmen portraying Republicans as unreasonable, uncaring and somehow responsible for a lack of solution. 5) No permanent solution is achieved. It should. This cycle has been repeated on every major issue that has come up since Republicans took over the House in 2011.Even a liberal like Ron Fourier, while, of course, mostly blaming Republicans, actually notices that Obama is president and the buck should, at some point, stop with him.
If it’s all about politics, bully for Obama. A majority of voters will likely side with the president over Republicans in a budget dispute because of his popularity and the GOP’s pathetic approval ratings. If it’s about governing, the story changes: In any enterprise, the chief executive is ultimately accountable for success and failure. Sure, blame Congress — castigate all 535 lawmakers, or the roughly half you hate. But there is only one president.But did he beat Tiger? That's the main thing.
[Update - Andy] Rather than pushing the boss's post down with this like I almost did, I'll just graft it on. Obama on sequestration: "I don't know why it is in this town, folks leave stuff until the last minute"

In the early days of our country the cultural/educational gap between thepolitical class and low-information class was similar to today's in say, vocabulary, but the gap was much smaller when it came to business sense, common sense, and hands-on problem solving.
The gap has grown, obviously. I blame professional politicians.

I don't know if I'll explain myself on this very well. It would be something Ace could flesh out a lot better, I am sure. But I'll try my best...
Conservatives are always on the defensive on issues, and it's not all because we don't have a compliant media, though that's not nothing either. The biggest problem is liberals natural appeal to the masses, those people that like to think of themselves as people who care, but really would like to just watch 30 Rock at night rather than actively participate in their community. Also, people that barely tune in.
Liberals love the anecdote. Every convention is a airing of grievances of people that have no chance. Sally Sue lost her insurance. Joe's job got shipped to China. I spoke with Mary and she's getting paid half of what Mark is. Carlos just wants to stay in the country he's grown to love. You want to help these people, don't you? Well, we'll take care of it....don't worry about those details. And if my opponents give you these convoluted reasons why it might be a bad idea, just trust us...it's rooted in hate.
The bar they have to cross in terms of argument is incredibly low. A few anecdotes, act like you care a little bit, and make us explain why what sounds like a caring idea is expensive, carries social costs, and isn't well thought out. Then call us uncaring bigots.
We actually have to make the much more complicated argument, but that requires people that are plugged in and engaged enough to listen to it. There aren't enough of those people anymore.
Hell, we can't even throw the poor results in their face anymore. People are incredibly cheap dates now. They don't even have to really do anything anymore. The big bill they passed isn't even popular. Doesn't matter. Just throw some pablum for people to digest, and that carries the day for them.

You're absolutely right. Which message would sell better to the ignorant masses who for some reason are still allowed to vote?

Or the mean Republican Dad, the stereotypical angry white male who says 'finish your broccoli, shut that damned TV off and do your homework!' ?

I think it's a combination of modern technology making life at least tolerable for nearly the entire population, combined with the inability of the masses to understand the long-term difference between Obama-level growth rates of 2% and the 3% the economy could be growing at under a more Reaganesque set of policies.
Put that alleviation of most of life's true hardships together with that ignorance of the compounding effects of stagnation and you get the era of Obama. Notice that "socialism" and "collectivism" really never got any play before the industrial revolution, precisely because the levels of laziness those ideologies enable would have gotten an individual dead right quick under those less-advanced conditions.

There isn't gonna be any change in his tactics until he is met by an opponent who ridicules him with fact and calls a spade a spade ( no pun intended).
In other words some Republican is gonna have to openly and publicly castigate him as the race baiting, class mongering, epic failure that he is and do so citing some pertinent and obvious facts. Then that person will have to endure the wrath of the MSM and reiterate that claim EVERY TIME he or she is questioned about it
Once his character and "intelligence" is attacked his vanity will not allow him to back off. He will become emotional and reactive like the juvenile dumbass he really is.

Boehner should call a press conference. On the sidewalk outside the White House. (All such press conferences should be here. Get in the enemy's territory.) And say:
"The President said in his State of the Union address that he had a long list of policy proposals and that they all together would 'not add a single dime' to the deficit. Those are the President's specific words, 'not a single dime'."
"In that speech, the President proposed, by my rough count, 29 *new* federal programs. Plus expansions of existing federal programs."
"So what I'm here today to do is very simple. I am here to ask the President to show me a budget that adds 29 new programs, expands existing programs, and doesn't increase the deficit by, again in his words, 'one single dime'."
"And I will be coming back here to wait outside the White House fence every day until the President comes out here and hands me the budget he says he has that does the things he says it will."
Put the onus on them. Do it publicly and loudly.

heh it was a funny thought of course I am nice to my current crew because of what an asshole I was when I ran a pizza joint....I have to atone for my sins....
I had a waitress that was like a rotund blonde gossip gal...
think of Moogan McCaain without the charm....
so one day she was disrupting my early dining room service rather vocally in the foyer....
Young not so calm "sven" saunters to the foyer and orders her to the party room and says, "hey ma'am I need you to focus on meeting the business flow and quit picking at the newer wait staff and so this sticks I'm gonna say it to you in language you'll understand...:" *pregnant pause*
MOOO MOO Mooo MOOOOOOOOOOOO *snort"

Well, it's less fun than setting them on fire (Fire! FIRE!!) but that's actually a pretty reasonable precaution. I dealt with my first bedbug attack following a night's stay at a shithole hotel prior to this past Dragon Con. I was paranoid as hell that I brought them home and had infected my own bed or couch upon seeing multiple welts appear in the 1x3 patterns on my arms and legs. I did read that it may take up to 10 days for them to appear, though.

I stayed at The Wynn two years ago.
I spent $300 in the "drug store" there and it was the cheapest shopping in the entire place.

Good luck OSP.

You go to the buffets on that end of the strip? Good Lord, why do you want to pay that kind of money for a buffet?
Even when I had money I cringed and walked away from those things.

When I travel-- checklist.
Make sure room is near ice machine/ elevator
Make sure room is on upper floors, so I can waste time waiting for elevators. Being late to meetings is no big deal.
Make sure hot water is not working in shower, saves time in the early a.m. - no need for coffee.
Make sure hotel "neighbors" have crying infants and/or nymphomania or violent arguements.
Make sure to call for a wake-up call and set the alarm.
Neither will happen.
etc. etc. Isn't travel stimulating ?

We hadn't been to Vegas in years. We went to the icky buffet exactly once.
On the other hand, we took my husband's top IT guy and his girlfriend to Wolfgang Puck's "Cut" and spent $800 on dinner for four. Ridiculous.

Any time I traveled alone with our son from Chicago to Kiawah Island, SC, I always stayed at the Marriott Courtyard in Lexington, KY. As a woman traveling alone with a little boy, having the security of inside only doors was important.
The warm, fresh-baked cookies at the check in desk were a plus!

I wonder how many people have died on mattresses we sleep on in hotel rooms?
Brrrrr.....
Posted by: Jane D'oh at February 20, 2013 09:47 PM (UOM4
Me too. Has anyone slept on those fucking foam mattress? I hate them. They are hot and I always think I am sinking into someones sweat or something.
NASTY.
Posted by: Billy Bob, Pseudo Intellectual at February 20, 2013 11:06 PM (wR+pz)
I checked back. I get the last word. No, on Child of Novelty. Will do so. I love Hendrix too
Posted by: L, elle at February 20, 2013 11:09 PM (0PiQ4)
Me too, same check list. Shit I almost wrote a flame on your ass till I figured out the snarc.
You forgot check carpet to make sure it smells like vomit.
Although, the upper floors are a must in a city. Quieter and no thugs can get to you. Why do you think the elite levels are on the top?

Back in 90's, a guy killed his GF in abudget motel in eastbay San Francisco area.
Puther body between mattress and floor,inside the wooden box platform.
Guy checked outand drove 100 miles away.He ultimately walked into a PD and confessed.
Cops had to go to the room and wake up the new "guests", consisting of a poorguy and his girlfriend in bed. I guess that theyhad toadvise the couplethat there might be a third "guest" in the room with them. Below them.
There was. Even after housekeeping had done their thing before their arrival.

Republicans in a budget dispute because of his popularity and the GOP’s
pathetic approval ratings."
Look a little deeper and you're likely to discover it's the Democrat Party propaganda arm - the media - doing their part to sway the low-information types via misdirection, omission, covering Obie's ass outright, and painting his opposition in as bad a light as possible. That's how a pathetic piece of shit like Obie can manage to be considered to be "popular". Where the GOP's approval ratings are concerned, the RINOs in its ranks bear a lot more responsibility for that.

It's like he thought once he was elected, it was all perks and prestige without any work. Leading from behind is just abdicating responsibility. I can't wait until he is gone and we get a grown up in the office again. I also hope that this little powerplay costs him on immigration and the rest of his pathetic legacy.
