Where’s the republican that could beat Obama?
The republicans took the biggest hit in the polls for the debt ceiling fiasco.
Their most popular candidates are a whacked out nut job who always makes ridiculous statements and another whack job who wears magic underwear.

Come on somebody, ask Mitt Romney; “Do you ever wear Mormon temple garments and do you believe they hold power for you?”
Who is paying off the press to not ask this question?

Good point here. Regardless of the public perception of Obama the Righties are fronting idiots, and Obama may give too much, but he’s not an idiot.

I completely agree that it is hard to conceive of anyone that could be Obama in the current mix. However, a moderate republican could. A moderate republican would have to get through the republican primaries, which would probably be his Achilles heel. After that, he would have to renounce the Tea Party and he would have a chance.

I like Obama and I always have. I think he is one of the most intelligent presidents we have had. He is not very effective and I keep forgiving him.

However, in the long run, he may prove to be more strategic than I give him credit for. When he ostensibly should have been working primarily on the economy and creating jobs he focused on healthcare. I think the reason was that democrats had targeted healthcare for decades and could not get a good bill passed. He had a democratic congress and that was the only time in the foreseeable future, he could make it happen. His vision is very far-sighted. He may be taking a long-term view here, and if he is, though it seems all-important now, this one bill (and the one before it) is small in the context of the next two decades.

I, and others, want someone who fights as strongly as the Tea Party does and stand up to them. However, Obama may see things a different way. He may see the Tea Party for the cancer that it is and he may have decided that if we want to get rid of them instead of watching them grow, we have to expose their insanity, and the only way to do that, is to allow it to have effects that people can see.

If you match the Tea Party with your own unyielding demands, then it is Washington that is insane, not the Tea Party. Getting rid of the Tea Party may be a senior goal and more important than passing a good budget bill today.

Ah John. The rational Americans were let down by everyone in Congress and the White House who bent over for the tea partiers. Boehner, Obama, McConnell, Durbin, all of them.

Tea party rallies are full of government workers and people on Social Security and Medicare demanding less government.

So far the idiots are winning. Obama got the best deal he could get considering the House is republican and they’re at the mercy of the tea party. They all know Jim Demint is watching closely deciding which ones that aren’t “pure” enough will get a tea bagger primary challenge. They correct to be scared. Reelection means more to them than actually looking out for the best interests of America.
