It’s hard not to smirk now that the left is actually discovering what we told them – and America – back in 2008. That is that Barack Obama is a fraud who is out of his league and in over his head and will if elected screw up the country. Chief Ditzoid at the NY Times now whines.

“You know you’re in trouble when Harry Reid says you should be more aggressive.

If the languid Obama had not done his usual irritating fourth-quarter play, if he had presented a jobs plan a year ago and fought for it, he wouldn’t have needed to elevate the setting. How will he up the ante next time? A speech from the space station?

Republicans who are worried about being political props have a point. The president is using the power of the incumbency and a sacred occasion for a political speech.

Obama is still suffering from the Speech Illusion, the idea that he can come down from the mountain, read from a Teleprompter, cast a magic spell with his words and climb back up the mountain, while we scurry around and do what he proclaimed.

The days of spinning illusions in a Greek temple in a football stadium are done. The One is dancing on the edge of one term.

The White House team is flailing — reacting, regrouping, retrenching. It’s repugnant.”

Well, hate to tell you “We told you so”, but we did. Funny thing is that while the left reviled George Bush, he was ten times the leader that this dolt is. A little know fact, George Bush actually didn’t use Teleprompters as much as other presidents. Sure he flubbed words, although he never claimed we had 57 states as the boy genius has. Obama has shown himself completely unable to speak without a teleprompter – which he by the way travels with two of them.

But more to the point that Dowd is discovering along with most of America. It was a terrible mistake electing Barack Obama in 2008. I had joke back then that it wouldn’t be long before we discovered that he was basically Marion Barry without the crack pipe. Unfortunately we had to let completely bankrupt this country before finding it out. The sad fact is that Thursday night the only thing he could possibly do to make things better is resign from office.

Anything short of that is a travesty.
