I mean is this man playing mind/word games?

Mitt Romney
Has it come to this again? The president is meeting with his oil spill experts, he crudely tells us, so that he knows "whose ass to kick." We have become accustomed to his management style — target a scapegoat, assign blame and go on the attack. To win health care legislation, he vilified insurance executives; to escape bankruptcy law for General Motors, he demonized senior lenders; to take the focus from the excesses of government, he castigated business meetings in Las Vegas; and to deflect responsibility for the deepening and lengthening downturn, he blames Wall Street and George W. Bush. But what may make good politics does not make good leadership. And when a crisis is upon us, America wants a leader, not a politician.

The rest of the article gets worse.

A look back at Sheila Bair and the speedy TARP decision.

The U.S. created TARP last year to remove souring assets such as subprime mortgages weighing down balance sheets and leading banks to stop lending, among steps Bair said were needed to contain the crisis. Former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was forced to drop the strategy and use the $700 billion fund to inject capital into banks when the plan prompted lenders to hoard cash and failed to halt a slide in the stock market.

"We would have tried to dissuade Treasury from making these capital investments," Bair said. "In retrospect, that was probably not a good thing. At the time it sounded like the right thing to do."

TARP capital gave the U.S. stakes in the institutions, raising questions about additional steps if the firms needed further help, and put the government in the role of containing compensation at the firms getting taxpayer aid, Bair said.

Given the urgency at the time, no one should be held accountable "for not thinking all this through," Bair said. "I think it was not a good idea."

I am sitting here watching Chris Matthews and his guests consider Palin possibilities. They are talking about her book and her inability to take responsibility but her ability to get people to support her. They spoke on her comment to Couric about being able to see Russia from Alaska, therefore being able to understand foreign policy with Russia and I swear I can't tell if they are serious or not. They are saying she is short on smarts and ability, but through all of this she IS a contender for president. And it really seems like they are trying to be serious.

Obama: Whiner-in-Chief?October 13th, 2009 | By: Patrick Glenn

Tags: Barack Obama, DagelijkseStandaard, Fox News, john nichols, News, Politics, President Obama, The Nation

John Nichols is a staunch "progressive" author who writes a political blog for The Nation, which itself is a far left publication. When guys like Nichols begin castigating the Obama administration, you know that the rift between the hard-core leftists and Obama’s "pragmatic" administration is widening.This weekend, Obama’s political operatives attacked both Fox News on the right and "pajama clad" bloggers on the left, prompting John Nichols to label Barack Obama the "whiner-in-chief."

. . . there’s a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing — no attack by Glenn Beck, no blogger busting about Guantanamo — does more damage to Obama’s credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief.

Many movement progressives like John Nichols were already growing impatient with what

Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. Having bonded with his twin teleprompters, the president would be detailed for ceremonial speech-making.

Military intervention is what Obama’s exponentially accelerating agenda for "fundamental change" toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America. A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama’s radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible.

Unthinkable? Then think up an alternative, non-violent solution to the Obama problem. Just don’t shrug and say, "We can always worry about that later."

In the 2008 election, that was the wistful, self-indulgent, indifferent reliance on abnegation of personal responsibility that has sunk the nation into this morass.

Who will care about an American or America. Thank you president Carter for standing up a bit. The very fact that I can see this nation is in confusion, and by what our leaders won't DO, they're acting like they cannot, is terrifying.

I cannot believe, because Republicans are not some other species, that they would stoke the flames of the fire in this nation. They will not come together with their democratic brethren to calm down a nation.

I cannot believe that the financiers are such an entitled bunch, that it doesn't matter if their allegiance is to themselves at this point in time. This all blows my mind.

The people of the United States of America are not happy. Fascism is tearing this country apart. There may be the face of many leaders, but this is indeed becoming a fascist state, these united states of America. And now there are two fighting, bickering, angry factions (maybe 3) of every day Americans fighting the public fight against each other while the fascists hide behind them.

There is a piece of paper written at the birth of this nation that allows the people to disallow this from happening. But we are all too busy fighting each other.

Of course you can write, and soundbite and skew anything into becoming news.

Of course you can choose to or not verify facts. (especially in an effort to beat your competitor to the punch)

Of course you can have a view contrary to my own.

Of course you can help destroy cohesiveness in this country with unbalanced coverage.
