May 21, 2012 - No one running on the republican side could've beaten Obama because the republican party has gotten so absurd that all they do is run shitty candidates.

NewYorkCityUSA7 Says:

May 21, 2012 - You are proof that the only people dumber than Palin are her supporters.

VegitoVai90 Says:

May 21, 2012 - Obama WOULD lost the election, if we wasn't against Mitt fucking Romney. As bad as Obama is and as much as the people don't like him, they like him better than they like that rich cunt Romney.

TheMac6010 Says:

May 15, 2012 - actually even now, not as much but still quite abit he is raking in now.. just thought i should point that out.. and yes alot of it is from grassroots, but still plenty of big money types also, but i bet it'll even go higher in the last few months once the debate's and during the conventions as well start but thats just from my experience in the past and think it will be no different this time around, and my prediction is that the Dems will get way way more..

Branko353 Says:

May 15, 2012 - True. I was just hopeful that would change too. Major corporations for quite some time equally support both parties. Major differential is in Individual donations as Obama managed to raise record money some 100's of mil $ in the last weeks of his campaign. I don't know how he is going to repeat that. His best bet is just to come open and say what you just said in the late stage of his campaign as majority of people unable to think clearly on their own need to be told that.

TheMac6010 Says:

May 14, 2012 - sorry but I totally disagree 1st of all the 1st term of a Presidency, u certainly dont wanna piss off let alone lose ur Big $ donations, think about this, W. Bush screwed it all for us in his last term, now Obama did some changes yes and yes for the better, for all, at least in the sense of keeping us afloat, now his Change msg will really come to view this time around since he cant run again... and the other thing is the Tea party Thugagins are prolonging what W. Bush did starting in 10.

PlatoJaspers Says:

May 12, 2012 - The Republicans had rather that the Democrats clean up their mess (2 wars and the plundering of the state treasury by the banks. So they choose Palin, knowing nobody would want to vote for a moron. And now they can blame all the problems they mostly created themselves on the President and the Democrats. It's just a political trick.

May 9, 2012 - @mozart1220 OMG I agree with you 100%. I to believe that President Obama is doing a great job. I knew that he was not going to be able to fix everything during his term as president. OBAMA-BIDEN 2012!!!

lostintheapplasauce Says:

May 8, 2012 - we got scammed in 2000. i dont think this country will ever recover either.

Mozart1220 Says:

May 7, 2012 - The problem is that people expect things to change overnight, and that just never happens. Obama is doing fine given the hand he was dealt and the political climate in which he is operating. It's always easier to destroy then to rebuild or create.

12boocat Says:

May 7, 2012 - aside from how rediculous Palin is, McCain was the major screw-up, letting low-level people find her had inject her as his running mate. Thank god he lost (and I never want to see or hear about s. palin again)

May 5, 2012 - this is what happens when you decide for whom you vote based on which candidate spends the most time in church

Ricky Payne Says:

May 5, 2012 - It's like comparing Newton to a chimp that can get ants out of a stump with a twig... But at least the chimp can improvise

zerogullibility Says:

May 4, 2012 - Palin doesn't need any ideas of her own. All she needs is to stick to what she's been doing: Disagree with anything that might make sense. The Tea Party Bases requires nothing more.

David Brooks spoke frankly about the presidential and vice presidential candidates Monday afternoon, calling Sarah Palin a "fatal cancer to the Republican party" but describing John McCain and Barack Obama as "the two best candidates we've had in a long time." In an interview with The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg at New York's Le Cirque restaurant to unveil that magazine's redesign, Brooks decried Palin's anti-intellectualism and compared her to President Bush in that regard: [Sarah Palin] represents a fatal cancer to the Republican party. When I first started in journalism, I worked at the National Review for Bill Buckley. And Buckley famously said he'd rather be ruled by the first 2,000 names in the Boston phone book than by the Harvard faculty. But he didn't think those were the only two options. He thought it was important to have people on the conservative side who celebrated ideas, who celebrated learning. And his whole life was based on that, and that was also true for a lot of the other conservatives in the Reagan era. Reagan had an immense faith in the power of ideas. But there has been a counter, more populist tradition, which is not only to scorn liberal ideas but to scorn ideas entirely. And I'm afraid that Sarah Palin has those prejudices. I think President Bush has those prejudices. Brooks praised Palin's natural political talent, but said she is "absolutely not" ready to be president or vice president. He explained, "The more I follow politicians, the more I think experience matters, the ability to have a template of things in your mind that you can refer to on the spot, because believe me, once in office there's no time to think or make decisions." The New York Times columnist also said that the "great virtue" of Palin's counterpart, Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden, is that he is anything but a "yes man." "[Biden] can't not say what he thinks," Brooks remarked. "There's no internal monitor, and for Barack Obama, that's tremendously important to have a vice president who will be that way. Our current president doesn't have anybody like that." Brooks also spent time praising Obama's intellect and skills in social perception, telling two stories of his interactions with Obama that left him "dazzled": Obama has the great intellect. I was interviewing Obama a couple years ago, and I'm getting nowhere with the interview, it's late in the night, he's on the phone, walking off the Senate floor, he's cranky. Out of the blue I say, 'Ever read a guy named Reinhold Niebuhr?' And he says, 'Yeah.' So i say, 'What did Niebuhr mean to you?' For the next 20 minutes, he gave me a perfect description of Reinhold Niebuhr's thought, which is a very subtle thought process based on the idea that you have to use power while it corrupts you. And I was dazzled, I felt the tingle up my knee as Chris Matthews would say. And the other thing that does separate Obama from just a pure intellectual: he has tremendous powers of social perception. And this is why he's a politician, not an academic. A couple of years ago, I was writing columns attacking the Republican congress for spending too much money. And I throw in a few sentences attacking the Democrats to make myself feel better. And one morning I get an email from Obama saying, 'David, if you wanna attack us, fine, but you're only throwing in those sentences to make yourself feel better.' And it was a perfect description of what was going through my mind. And everybody who knows Obama all have these stories to tell about his capacity for social perception. Brooks predicted an Obama victory by nine points, and said that although he found Obama to be "a very mediocre senator," he was is surrounded by what Brooks called "by far the most impressive people in the Democratic party." "He's phenomenally good at surrounding himself with a team," Brooks said. "I disagree with them on most issues, but I am given a lot of comfort by the fact that the people he's chosen are exactly the people I think most of us would want to choose if we were in his shoes. So again, I have doubts about him just because he was such a mediocre senator, but his capacity to pick staff is impressive." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
