Today’s Rumblings . . . Democratic strategist and TV pundit James Carville says, “The White House should be panicked about President Obama’s re-election chances.”  

Arianna Huffington:  Ah Oh.  “For Voters to Believe Obama’s Second Term Will Bring About Change, He Needs to Acknowledge What Needs to Change in Himself”  This is the title of her morning’s editorial in the liberal favorite “Huffington Post.”  Arianna tells the President:  “What a difference three years makes. While candidate Obama’s goal of change was what the country needed and longed for, President Obama’s method of effecting that change has failed.”

 

A new book out this week by Wall Street Journal columnist Ron Suskind, and likely a barn- burner,  reveals enormous turmoil and pressure on the White House Economic team in the past 18 months, causing infighting and ineffectiveness.  “Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington, and the Education of a President,” published by HarperCollins, says Obama was hampered in responding to the country’s crisis by his own team.  Women advisers complaining of being” ignored.”  Timothy Geithner dragging his feet on policy moves in which he disagreed.  Big surprise.  Imagine lots of tax and spend Democrats with no business experience, fighting over who’s in charge…

The New York Post on Obama’s New 3 -Trillion Debt Reduction Plan:  “The President’s plan appears to be nothing more than a class-warfare gimmick to bolster the president’s low approval ratings.”

Bill Clinton on the President’s New 3 Trillion Debt Reduction Plan:  ” I like the President’s new job plan. I’d like to see the economic plan that he talked about in his address to Congress enacted first,” Clinton said. Then, when the economy starts growing again in a year or two, then I’d like to put the hammer down on this deficit problem.”  Do we HAVE a year or two?  Not exactly passionate support, but Clinton was the only cheerleader willing to step on TV for the President this weekend.  Bill Clinton is probably one of the authors of of the Jobs bill!  Few others are willing to take the President’s phone calls right now.  When was the last time you saw Harry Reid in the White House driveway?  Or Nancy Pelosi defending the President?

Wouldn’t you feel better if billionaire Warren Buffet would say, “Tax my INVESTMENTS.”   That’s where all of his money is.  But he doesn’t.  Buffet only takes a $100,000 a year salary from Berkshire Hathaway, his holding company.  The tax increases won’t affect him!  Meanwhile his companies owe the USA at least one billion in back taxes.  Perhaps Buffet is smarter than we know…

The White House is rummaging around looking for someone to blame for all of its inside headaches.  The likely victim?  Bill Daly, Chief of Staff.  Word is leaking out that he was responsible for the “scheduling conflict” with the President’ jobs speech to a joint session of Congress.  You don’t think Barack books his own speeches do you?  He doesn’t have time to keep track of NFL and prime time TV schedules.  Former Clinton administration Cabinet member, Bill Daly knows his way around DC and understands the “Chicago Way.”   But the long knives are coming out according to the Washington Times.  Someone is going to have to fall on a sword and it can’t be Barack Hussein Obama.

Do you ever wonder what Hilary Clinton is thinking?  One thing she has never tolerated . . . is incompetence.  Now she reports to it.
