Obama's Worst Day
Since I have not posted anything in so long, I had taken a brief vacation, I'm not yet back up to speed on smacking down the Right, but this one thing did occur to me which I think might be a jumping off point for others.
Obama's wost day? When do you think that was?
The Right suggests it was the day the Olympics declined to designate the USA as host of the 2016 games.
One suggestion I have, which would never phase the Right, maybe it was last week when we lost eight soldiers in one heroic defense of an isolated post in Afghanistan. Getting that news might have been his worst day yet.
Any other suggestions? With this country as screwed up as it is and the Right having abandoned any pretense of being part of a solution, maybe it just gets worse for Obama every day when he realizes we cannot stand disunited as we are and the closed fist he referred to in Egypt was actually our own American Taliban. Anyway, what say ye?
How about "Congressional republicans and whack-job talking heads say such and such..." rather than The Right?
I know plenty of republicans who don't really care about the Olympics or thought it was a great idea for him to get behind the effort.
The Right is no more monolithic than The Left.

Jason, you and those like you need to take your party away from those people then. Make it known to more than the denizens of TPM that there is still a sizeable and sensible population in the GOP that doesn't want to associate with the looneys on the far right.
Then maybe more people will make that distinction

We're working on it. It is going to take a bit of time though. I hope you can be patient. :O)

Or maybe just the Right's talking heads, I suppose. Frankly, I have trouble giving them any suggestion I think they are "Right" anyway.

His worst day may have been hiring the triangulator Rahm. Who can figure out what Obama stands for and if he is willing to stand strong for anything?
If you are the luckiest man alive (Bill Clinton) you might get to be President during an economic boom bubble and during a peace dividend, but most Presidents have to lead sooner or later.
