Barack Obama accused of using Nixon-like techniques
Check out the following ironsides, the web is full of websites which are calling for impeachment of Obama. The Republican base is only waiting for next November, then assuming Republican gain control of one or both the chambers, impeachment proceedings will start in earnest, it doesn’t matter on what charge (playing golf will do as well as anything else).
Just Google for ‘Obama impeachment’ and see how many hits you get.

But most certainly, ironsides. National Post is a conservative newspaper, there is no love lost between the Post and Obama. Besides, the accusation is being made by a Republican and as such is worthless. Obama has been compared to Carter, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and who knows what else, why not to Nixon?
I know, it may be hard to believe, bur Obama is not popular with those that actually support this country. He is however very popular with those who live off the labors of others as well as illegals.
''The idiocy and lunancy in this post is two fold...
1. That the right wing wants to impeach him for playing golf. An idiotic claim. Pure lunacy.
2. Gopher analyzing Obama's golfing habits.
Talk about obsessive.
Stop slathering Obama's jock would you. You're embarrassing yourself.
Not as much as you far right lunatics kissing up Bush's butt and attacking Obama for nothing.
So far, you far right drug delusionals have posted thread after thread in which you continually attack Obama. Each and every time you are proven wrong but you persist in posting more threads on the same sh*t.
Two and one half hours of golf per week and the reich wingers have their soiled panties all twisted. What utter hosesh*t. Bush spent far more time away from the White House and there wasn't a word of criticism for any of that.

Naturally, you have ample proof of that claim, right?
Let's see your proof.
The fact that the MAJORITY of Americans support Obama while an even larger amount of people view the Congressional Republicans disfavorably (see links previously posted) hasn't escaped your attention, has it?
Obama using Nixon techniques by ignoring certain media members???
Bush ignored Helen Thomas and that was no problem for the far reich. In fact, Bush had gay prostitute Jeff Gannon planted in the audience to pose creampuff questions to Bush.
Where was the far right to protest against that???

Quite the contrary, you deluded far right loonies hate it when the truth is spoken.

You mean he is not popular with the Republican base (he never was). The last I saw, his approval rating is in the 50s, which means that many people are still giving him the benefit of the doubt (which is as it should be, he has been in office just a short while, only a political partisan will criticize him for what he has or has not done in the short time he has been in office).
Anyway, back to the subject of impeachment. In my opinion, impeachment is a near certainly if Republicans get control of House, Senate or both in 2010. 2011 will be a totally wasted year in that case, every issue will be neglected in favour of impeachment. People will be glued to their TV sets for the whole year watching impeachment proceedings.
Pgs, doesn’t Minnesota have a Republican Governor? Hardly a Socialist state, is it? And if the economy of Minnesota is not doing well as you claim, does the Republican Governor get any blame? Or are only Democrats to blame and the Republican is as blameless as driven snow? Does being a Republican exonerate him of any culpability (as is usually the case as argued by conservatives)?
Why worry about the bad duffer decoy when the real rulers Pelosi, Reid and Boxer are out doing the real damage. He cannot even give a speech with out reading it. Has the Gopher come up with anything to help his swing?
Obama's Bush Blame Game
By Charles Krauthammer
WASHINGTON -- Old Soviet joke:
Moscow, 1953. Stalin calls in Khrushchev.
"Niki, I'm dying. Don't have much to leave you. Just three envelopes. Open them, one at a time, when you get into big trouble."
A few years later, first crisis. Khrushchev opens envelope 1: "Blame everything on me. Uncle Joe."
A few years later, a really big crisis. Opens envelope 2: "Blame everything on me. Again. Good luck, Uncle Joe."
Third crisis. Opens envelope 3: "Prepare three envelopes."
In the Barack Obama version, there are 50 or so such blame-Bush free passes before the gig is up. By my calculation, Obama has already burned through a good 49. Is there anything he hasn't blamed George W. Bush for? The economy, global warming, the credit crisis, Middle East stalemate, the deficit, anti-Americanism abroad -- everything but swine flu.
It's as if Obama's presidency hasn't really started. He's still taking inventory of the Bush years. Just this Monday, he referred to "long years of drift" in Afghanistan in order to, I suppose, explain away his own, well, yearlong drift on Afghanistan.
This compulsion to attack his predecessor is as stale as it is unseemly. Obama was elected a year ago. He became commander in chief two months later. He then solemnly announced his own "comprehensive new strategy" for Afghanistan seven months ago. And it was not an off-the-cuff decision. "My administration has heard from our military commanders, as well as our diplomats," the president assured us. "We've consulted with the Afghan and Pakistani governments, with our partners and our NATO allies, and with other donors and international organizations" and "with members of Congress. "
Obama is obviously unhappy with the path he himself chose in March. Fine. He has every right -- indeed duty -- to reconsider. But what Obama is reacting to is the failure of his own strategy.

WASHINGTON – Public disapproval of President Barack Obama's handling of health care has leaped to 52 percent, according to Associated Press-GfK poll that underscores the country's glowering mood just as the White House revs up its pitch for an overhaul.
Just 42 percent approve of the president's work on the high-profile health issue. The survey was released Wednesday hours before his nationally televised effort to persuade Congress and voters to back his drive to reshape the nation's $2.5 trillion-a-year medical system.
Spotlighting how Obama lost ground this summer, his latest approval figures on health were essentially reversed since July, when 50 percent approved of his health effort and just 43 percent disapproved.
The poll illustrates how difficult recent weeks have been for a president who, besides tackling health care, has been battling to end a devastatingly deep recession. Fifty percent approve and 49 percent disapprove of the overall job he is doing as president, compared to July, when those approving his performance clearly outnumbered those who were unhappy with it, 55 percent to 42 percent.
The slipping figures were an ominous sign for Obama, who by year's end wants Congress to send him legislation lowering health costs while covering millions of uninsured Americans. Besides near unanimous opposition from Republicans, the president's proposal has divided lawmakers from his own party, with liberals battling for a far-reaching plan that would include optional government-run insurance, and moderates demanding a scaled-down version without public coverage.
The poll found that discontent with Obama's health care effort is not isolated to Republicans. While nearly nine in 10 from the GOP disapproved of his handling of the issue, so did about six in 10 independents and two in 10 Democrats.
"How in the world can anybody look at this and evaluate it and see if it makes effective change?" Kelly Hoots, 35, a pharmacist and independent from Weaverville, N.C., said of the health care legislation. "Who knows what's in it?"
Further spotlighting the opposition Obama is encountering, 49 percent in the AP-GfK poll said they oppose the health overhaul plans being considered by Congress, compared to just 34 percent who favor them.
People are about evenly split over what lawmakers should do next on health care: About four in 10 say they should keep trying to pass a bill this year while about the same number say they should start over again.
Significantly, though, only about two in 10 say the health care system should be left as is, a positive sign for Obama.
"It's about time" for expanded health coverage, said Randy Yarborough, 56, a retired cabinetmaker and Democrat from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. "Everybody ought to have it. Anybody who says we can't afford it or we shouldn't have government health care, you need to wake up."
There is a clear public desire for a bipartisan approach on health care. Eight in 10 say it's important that any plan that passes Congress have the support of both parties, with Democrats, Republicans and independents all saying so by roughly that proportion. Two-thirds say if Obama and congressional Democrats can't win support from Republicans to pass a bill this year, they should keep trying until they get it.
Obama's marks are also declining on the economy, with 52 percent saying they disapprove of how he's handled that issue. Just 46 percent disapproved in a July AP-GfK poll, and 35 percent disapproved in April.
About half disapprove of his handling of taxes, some of which may rise to help finance his health overhaul, and of unemployment, which has been on the rise. And 56 percent dislike his handling of the budget deficit, which has skyrocketed under the costs of the financial bailouts and a recession that has caused federal revenues to sink.
While 77 percent say health care is important to them, 92 percent said the same about the economy, more than any other issue in the AP-GfK poll. That suggests that despite Washington's focus on the health care struggle, few voters have taken their eyes off the recession.
"They ought to scrap the whole thing" on health care, said Republican Wendy Sanders, 39, a homemaker from Kingsland, Ga. "People need jobs. Do that."
The survey of 1,001 adults with cell and landline telephones was conducted from Sept. 3-8. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

Americans Tune Out Obama’s Healthcare Sell

Too Small to Lead
By Michael Gerson
WASHINGTON -- R. Creigh Deeds, the Democratic candidate for Virginia governor, seems poised to lose the jewel in President Obama's political crown.
In November 2008, Obama was the first Democrat since Lyndon Johnson to win the electoral votes of the Commonwealth. Obama's victory was a case study in how he might transform American politics, building an alliance of new voters and suburban Southerners to defeat Republicans at the heart of their power.
A year later, the Virginia governor's race displays a Democratic promise gone crusty and stale. The Republican candidate, Bob McDonnell, threatens to turn a lead into a rout...... One unnamed White House official recently complained that Obama "had drawn a road map to victory in Virginia. Deeds chose another path."
But there is another explanation. Perhaps Deeds and Obama have declined in support for the same reason -- because they are taking the identical path.
....
The Obama administration has gone after both Rush Limbaugh and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce -- showing an inability to distinguish between the burning of heretics and the burning of bridges. It has courted insurance companies, then publicly demonized them for showing independence. Obama has tended to define all opposition, particularly on health care, as resulting from fear, cowardice and selfishness -- instead of admitting genuine disagreement. At a recent fundraiser, he mocked Republicans as robots who "do what they're told." He has engaged in consistent, classless, self-excusing criticism of his predecessor. Other presidents have been known for a war on totalitarianism or a war on terror. Obama is known for a war on Fox News.....
There are many reasons why Obama, according to Gallup, has suffered the largest decline in approval, at this portion in his term, of any elected president since 1953... Many Democrats seem to like the street-brawling side of Obama and his team. Many independents and Republicans seem less enthusiastic that Mr. Hyde has moved in his furniture and clearly plans to stay.
America in 2008 and Virginia in 2009 show that tone is an underestimated factor in American politics. Positive candidates in these races have looked like leaders and winners. Negativity has seemed trivial. Virginians seem to be deciding that Deeds is too small to be governor. Obama seems intent on proving that he is too small to be an effective president.

Hey, it got him the peace prize.
You know he is failing miserably when his supporters (like Gopher) can't actually defend anything he is doing and instead try and shift the focus to Congress, Bush or Limbaugh.
WASHINGTON – About 650,000 jobs have been saved or created under President Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan, the White House said Friday, saying it is on track to reach the president's goal of 3.5 million jobs by the end of next year.
Not bad, as of Jan. 9, 2009 we lost 2.6 million jobs. Obama abomination of the U.S. is stripping us of our means of support so BIG brother can come in and save us. Big brother will not stop at our northern or southern borders, but will spread like the sickness it is.
