Alan Caruba: Blamer-in-Chief and related Obama antics

Warning Signs  "It is worth recalling the financial crisis occurred in September 2008 in the final months of Bush’s second term.

At the time:The Dow Jones closed at 12,621.77The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%The Unemployment rate was 4.6%

"George W. Bush's economic policies set a record of 52 straight months of job growth. So, Obama is not only trying to distract voters from the actual facts, but lying about them as well."  Emphasis added.

"Even the deficits that have grown under his administration weren’t his fault. In November 2011, he said “Obviously, this (reducing government waste) is even more important given the deficits that we’ve inherited and that have grown as aconsequence of the recession.” 
"The key word here is “inherited.” "

Former Justice official: Obama worse than Bush on civil liberties

"OBAMA'S FIFTEEN EFFING EFF-UPS" Here is a small sample:

1. Obama's Justice Department’s refusal to defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Ignoring his constitutional responsibility to defend laws passed by Congress.

1. Firing (and slandering) AmeriCorps inspector general Gerald Walpin
 after because he was investigating Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson a friend of the Obamas.

The Astute Bloggers:  Free Obama!  

"IF OBAMA IS RE-ELECTED, THEN HE'LL HAVE MUCH MORE THAN "FLEXIBILITY; 

HE'LL BE FREE TO DO AS HE PLEASES."

OK, say Obama does not plan to fight for the pictured policies. But you can be sure those who do advocate these things will be voting for Obama because he's their man. TD

Victor Davis Hanson: It Was the Power, Stupid!

Victor Davis Hanson "In my dumber days, between 2001-2008, I used to wonder why the Left relentlessly hammered the war on terror (e.g., renditions, tribunals, predators, preventative detention, Patriot Act, intercepts, wiretaps, Guantanamo Bay) when these measures had not only proven quite useful in preventing another 9/11-like attack, but had been sanctioned by both the Congress and the courts. In those ancient times, I was not as cynical as I am now. So I assumed that Harold Koh and MoveOn.org, though mistaken, were worried about civil liberties, or measures that they felt were both illegal and without utility.

"But, of course, the Obama (who attacked each and every element of the war on terror as a legislator and senator) Left never had any principled objection at all. Instead, whatever Bush was for, they were in Pavlovian fashion against. I can say that without a charge of cynicism, because after January 2009, Obama embraced or expanded every Bush-Cheney protocol that he inherited. In response, the anti-war Left simply kept silent, or indeed vanished, or went to work extending the anti-terrorism agenda. Guantanamo Bay, in other words, was a national sin until the mid-morning of January 20, 2009."

Another claim that Obama is a/the messiah (forgive me for not capitalizing the "M")

Michelle Obama: 'This President Has Brought Us Out of the Dark and Into the Light'  "The crowd of nearly 450 folks applauded as the first lady likened her husband to a Jesus-like figure. "In the book of Matthew, we read, "the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up." (Matthew 4:16) The phrase is used to describe the words Jesus preached. 

"In Micah, light, however, is a reference to God's words. "Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me," it says in Micah 7:8."

Add this video to the above and see where all this is going. Who could possibly vote against an icon like this? I thought worship like this could only exist in North Korea.

Michelle Malkin: No More ‘Mr. Obama Is a Nice Guy’

"Conservatives of good will who’ve watched President Obama brutalize his enemies have one question for the nice-guy niceties: Why, GOP, why?"

• ....Remember when he sneered at millions who turned out for the nationwide Tax Day tea-party protests in 2009: “You would think they’d be saying ‘thank you.’”
• Remember when he taunted GOP leaders: “We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.”
• Remember when he told Republicans to shut up during the stimulus debate: “I want them just to get out of the way” and “don’t do a lot of talking.”
• Remember when he outrageously insinuated before the 2010 midterms that conservatives were racist: He called critics of his amnesty policies “enemies” who needed to be “punished” by Latino voters because they were not “the kinds of folks who represent our core American values.”
• Remember when he remained silent about his surrogates’ misogynistic attacks on GOP vice-presidential candidate and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.
• Remember when he remained silent about the vulgar rallying cry of Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa, who introduced Obama at a Detroit Labor Day rally by urging union members to work against Republicans and “take these son of a bitches out.”
• Romney’s surrogates insist that conservatives should “stick to the issues.” But Obama’s by-any-means-necessary ruthlessness is an issue. As the Chiffon margarine commercial said, “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.” And it’s not nice to delude the American electorate in the name of comity, politesse, and simpering civility."

Yet the conventional wisdom says Obama is well-liked and it is unwise to attack him personally; that one must stick to the issues only. That worked so well for John McCain, didn't it?
