What Game is Obama playing?

[itsrobert]

Some people think Obama is playing games. But which one?

1. Pijou.

2. Creative, three card monte, on the street

not even regulated.

Thanks for the chuckle...

True story, we went to the strip oh over ten years ago. Outside the Pirates hotel here you have these guys doing a three card monte... on the Vegas strip, there IS like a casino behind all these people... a more or less regulated casino. And here these guys were doing the monte, with mark and customers....

That is when I went, some people are REALLY, REALLY stoopid!

3. Fuck the American People (Championship Edition)

4. I think he's gotten terribly wrapped up

in doing big 'historic' things.

In an opinion piece in USA TODAY posted Thursday evening, Obama restated his call for achieving deficit reduction through "historic" amounts of spending cuts but also through "fundamental tax reform."

His election was historic, health care reform was historic, yada yada yada.

I think he's neglected to consider that just because something is historic it doesn't mean people like it.....the great depression was historic, too, but nobody really wants to live in it.

5. Bullshit

[Moostache]

6. Fetch

He has morphed from strong orator and leader to "go-fer" in search of campaign cash and donations.

Keep passing the hat Mr. President...but don't bother looking for me to actually believe in you again or give two shits about what you SAY next year....I have seen exactly what you DO when you have a majority and when you have a split Congress and quite frankly your actions flat our SUCK.

7. I fear he is playing the campaign game again

something that will humble even the best of politicians.

[Raine]

8. Pinata ... American people are the pinata and he's beating the crap out

of it.

9. Other: Magic Eight Ball n/t

[Ruby the Liberal]

10. Other. Reaganistic Transformationalism 2.0

House wins every time, but step right up and bet your hopes on change!

12. I don't play chess, but I understand the metaphor.

So I'm putting all my money on Obama, at least until AFTER the 2012 election.

"Obama, a one-term President!" is the wet dream of the RNC, not to mention the entire Teabag Chorus. Sadly, I hear that occasionally here on DU!
