Peggy Noonan’s Wrong Some More. Must be Friday.
[ Click above to embiggen: Didn't you think it was STRANGE that Michelle Obama raced up onto the stage and practically dragged her husband away after he acted like he was on drugs during the Denver presidential debate? That's because he was on drugs at the Denver presidential debate. The simplest answers are often the best ones...and Michelle's outfit that night was recycled from a McDonald's "Grimace" costume. Stating the obvious is fun. ]
Peggy Noonan wrote another of her “articles” today, in her coloring book, or the Wall Street Journal, or her litter box or wherever. This one’s about how she thinks that the Denver presidential debate “changed everything”…and she would think that, too, because she’s so stupid.
The gist of today’s rambling is that she believes Barack Obama revealed himself to be flawed and mortal on that stage in Denver and that he proved he depends on a TelePrompTer as a sort of umbilical cord through which intelligence and coherence is fed. I can’t remember the last time I found anything worthwhile in a Peggy Noonan piece, but I did enjoy that bit. The rest of it missed the fact that Denver didn’t suddenly make this race winnable for Mitt Romney because Barack Obama was always going to lose reelection. That was obvious in 2009, and was a proven fact in the 2010 races if you paid the least bit of attention to just how fired up the country has consistently been against this man.
What people like Noonan still won’t accept is that Obama’s election in 2008 really was due to a weird, psychotic fad that swept this country…much like how the Charleston, bobby socks, neon colors, pet rocks, Cabbage Patch Kids, the New Kids on the Block, Beanie Babies, and other ridiculous fads drove people crazy in their own ways here and there through the years. America is a nation that periodically and quite inexplicably falls in love with strange fads, and a good portion of our fellow citizens completely lose themselves in being part of these “happenings”. For the first time ever, the national fad was based on a presidential campaign and becoming part of the fad meant wearing “Hope and Change” paraphernalia and declaring your undying love for a man who was promoted by the adoring media as the biggest thing since Elvis (or even weirder and scarier…since Jesus, to some of them).
Until conservative writers see that Obama’s election was based on a fad that swept the country they will not understand what the 2012 race was all about: where, with the fad receded, Americans actually looked at Obama as a political figure and not a god/celebrity and they long ago decided they didn’t want him running the country anymore. They’ll still love seeing him partying with Beyonce and Jay-Z and bebopping with Ellen on her talk show…but they want a serious grown up to be the President; Obama can spend the rest of his life on the reality TV circuit and could be a great guest judge on Project Runway (or fill in for Tim Gunn rasping, “Make it work!” if Obama ever wants to shake his fanny in the work room and go shopping at Mood with all the designers).
I think what happened at the Denver debate is a lot simpler than what Noonan gets into and it boils down to this: Obama did so poorly in that debate that there was just no way for the Tokyo Roses like Peggy Noonan in conservative ranks to claim that Obama won…and there was no way for anyone like Allahpundit at HotAir, Erick Erikson at RedState, or Ben Shapiro at Breitbart to claim that “Romney had a rough night and needs to reboot his campaign!” or any of that other fear porn and Eeyore-chow they constantly fed conservatives all summer. Obama performed so badly that the entire garden of Tokyo Roses needed to maintain their credibility (what little they have in my eyes) by actually admitting that Romney did well and was in fact a really good candidate (at least for that one night).
I wil remind you that I am someone who did everything he could to stop Romney from being our nominee and that I mocked this man for four years to try to derail his presidential campaign…but once he beat everyone who opposed him and secured the nomination I begrudgingly came to respect the man as a skilled competitor. And then, quite frankly, after seeing him eat Obama’s lunch every day for several months and watching him campaign better than anyone I’ve ever before observed in politics I really started to admire the guy. Hearing about his lifetime of good deeds and seeing how he and his family treat people with respect and kindness I realized I sort of love Mitt Romney and am so grateful he put himself out there and ran for President. This is a good man, uniquely suited to meet the challenges before us…and he’s under-promised and OVER-delivered his entire life.
I am proud to be a “Romney Guy”, and Great Merciful Zeus and Sweet Whitney Houston I never in my life thought I’d say THAT.
I was wrong about him when I feared he’d be a John McCain-Part II because the guy is actually kind of Ronald Reagan Rebooted. And that’s a great thing, because he’s going to have to clean up the mess left by Jimmy Carter’s second term.
In her essay linked above, Noonan went on and on about how she couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Barack Obama at the Denver debate, because I think she’s afraid to say what everyone should know; I’ll say it for Miss Peggy, though, because honey badgers don’t care: Barack Obama was either on drugs in Denver or he was in withdrawal from the cocaine that Valerie Jarrett would not let him do for a few weeks before the debate (in what I think was a poorly planned and ill-conceived attempt to detox him). There’s a wide variety of drugs that could have made him act the way he did that night — he might have been on Adderall, amphetamines, Oxycontin, Dexedrine, or Ultram (according to a friend of mine who is a nurse at a rehab clinic). He was sweating and blinking and got severely distracted by the lights. At times he was confused and bewildered; he stammered and mumbled and had trouble stringing simple sentences together. At times, Jim Lehrer startled him by using his title of “Mr. President” and Obama looked to Romney beside him, thinking he would answer instead. When the debate was over, Michelle Obama rushed the stage and dragged him off without mingling with the Romneys or waving to the audience. That was so odd. Those two sure weren’t rushing off to consummate their anniversary so why was Michelle so rude in refusing to wave and talk to the Romney family unless she specifically needed to get Obama off camera because he was as high as a kite?
There was clearly something wrong with the current President of the United States that night, and it was most likely drugs. Here in Chicago, word on the street is that Obama could also have a serious illness in the realm of either Parkinsons or “The Slims” (code in the black community for HIV/AIDS) but the more I think about his behavior that night the more this guy seems like a junkie who was loaded up on something that was supposed to treat his withdrawal from cocaine..only they got the dosage wrong. I’m really wondering if that “altitude poisoning” or whatever they claimed he was affected by in Denver isn’t at least partially true…because I’m thinking that whoever was administering him the Adderall or Oxycontin or whatever didn’t factor the altitude into his dosage. I have a friend who used to tour with a punk band and she told me that the guys would have to adjust their “scores” based on where they were traveling, since different altitudes affected their highs differently.
The same thing happened to Barack Obama on October 3rd, 2012.
And after that nothing was the same in this race because the American public picked up that there is something seriously wrong with this guy. It wasn’t anything he said, really, because let’s face it no one can remember a line from any of these debates besides “Big Bird” and “Horses and Bayonets”, but that’s just because those things were so absurd and childish. People will remember that they thought the President of the United States seemed like a junkie on drugs at that debate in Denver while Mitt Romney looked like a competent person who could run a company or a country…and do it SOBER too.
It’s as simple as that.
Nothing Obama’s done since then has made Americans think he’s not a junkie…and nothing Romney’s done has made people think he couldn’t be president. In fact, at that absurd Town Hall debate one woman even called him “President Romney” already. I think she just wanted to historically be the first one ever to do so.
I’m really excited about saying “President Romney” too. There were times when I did not think I was going to survive “The Golden Age of Hope and Change”. I never let the Eeyores or the Tokyo Roses get me down, but before the Denver debate I was really frustrated with that Erick Erikson guy in particular because I was just so tired of him inflicting emotional terrorism on his readers and freaking people out every day by asking “Can Romney still win?”. Not even HE has been able to play those Eeyore games since Obama the junkie stumbled into Denver and made an ass of himself. Kind of fitting, for a Democrat, if you think about it.
That was the single worst debate performance in a presidential race in American history. Somewhere, Rick Perry’s grinning like an idiot because until I just mentioned him everyone had forgotten about how he’d beclowned himself what seems like a lifetime ago (but was really only March or so). Here everyone thought Perry would star in this year’s blooper real…until Valerie Jarrett dropped the ball and messed up Bathhouse Barry’s narcotics right before the big debate. She was supposed to be the one watching him…and I bet she’ll catch Hell for this the rest of her life. Let’s see if she and Michelle remain besties after the Obamas move to Hawaii in January and Valerie’s not invited to the housewarming.
I honestly have no idea what would have happened if Obama had been competent and sober at that first debate. Romney would have still ultimately won the election but I think the results would have been a lot closer because the Tokyo Roses would have kept demoralizing and depressing everyone and we would not have this groundswell of excitement right now. Romney is going to win big, but he still would have won even if Obama had been fantastic beyond all expectations.
It is nice that one night in Denver was able to shut down the nonstop maligning of Mitt Romney and allow people to take a look at what a train wreck the sitting president really is.
For that I’m very grateful, even if Peggy Noonan still can’t ever get a story right (or is too chicken to admit the obvious: that the 44th President of the United States is a junkie who showed up to a debate clearly abusing narcotics).

“Jimmy Carter’s second term” is hilarious and so true.
Noonan is a Leftist sympathizer who exploits a totally unwarranted reputation of being a conservative, like Brooks. She is shallow and false, exactly the type of grandee who contributes effortlessly to the destruction of this country.
And her writing style is awful, pseudo-profundity on quaaludes.
I lived through Carter and his depressing 4 years with the only “highlight” being Billy Beer. Carter got elected because he made a deal with the banks for their support and the country was fed up with Watergate and Ford’s pardon. Reagan did not take off until the only debate, one week before the election. In Noonsn’s defense, I agree that it was the tipping point. It woke me up big time, and my energy doubled overnight and has not gone down.
I have had first hand experience with credit cards and know they never get paid off until they become Priority No. 1. The Fed is loaning money to banks to buy US notes at a profit. Thats QE 2. The Fed is also buying notes for itself! Thats QE 3. The rest of the world can see our incredibly shrinking paper and has backed off.
The debate in Denver will go down as pivotal in our history because it Woke People Up! Yes, Kevin, the Morman ground game would have resulted in victory, but not the landslide that’s a comin.’. (Maybe the Italians can prosecute the poll pornographers like they did the guys who failed to predict an earthquake.) The Mormans are always knocking on your door out here, clean cut and looking for converts. (They have the world’s greatest Ponzi scheme, btw, because they reproduce new buyers at a high rate.) From my contacts with others, they are a good and deliberate people. This country could use a little dose of clean livers. That’s right, clean livers. Their only vice is sex. Since sex naturally produces the fantastic mood enhancer dopamine, it will be a great natural high for the country. I’m looking forward to a swinging 8 years.
As for Obama, he might have been on Adderal for debates 2 snd 3, but not no. 1. (I was prescribed it once and it is not a downer, but simply diluted methamphetamine.). After a while though you start not to think straight, and thus not sound straight. He might have been detoxing, and was ok with that because his skewed thinking led him to believe he could wing it.
Anyway I found your site because I saw somewhere an Obama is gay rumour. Your site popped up, and wow, do pictures tell a thousand words. I emailed a link yesterday to my best friend, a Libertarian, who was fighting with me for my support of Romney. Two hours later he called back and said I had bummed him out because he saw the pictures too. He did research to try to debunk you and the text but man, those photos were seared into his brain. Said he’ll never think of Obama the same way. Then he surmised I was homophobic. I could care less if the man is gay, but I do not like myself or anyone else being sold a different story in 2008.
2008 was, in legal terms, fraud in the inducement of the contract between O and the voters. As such, it is a contract that is void ab initio, that is, it is as if it never existed.
There is a universal jury indtruction that applies here: “If you find the witness has attempted to mislead you, you are directed to view his ENTIRE TESTIMONY with DISTRUST.
That about sums it up from the Left Coast.
Evidentiary support for the deal with banks comment. Carter was an unknown, and thus had to be approved. After Nixon took us off gold and OPEC jacked up prices in response, inflation was insane, esp. with real end to Vietnam War and standard postwar inflation. The deal was appoint Paul Volcker as Fed Chair to kill inflation, which he did in 1979, but too late for Carter but very good for Reagan. Obama’s deal was to reappoint Bernanke and his printing presses to shore up broke banks, and keep pushing TARP, which Bush instituted. (observation: banks and the Fed are priority No. 1 no matter who wins.)
Perhaps that is why Romney called the bailout the biggest “kiss” Wall St ever got. Hmmm. Obama “in bed” with Wall Street? What was Mitt really saying?
I just discovered your blog a few days ago… I am always so behind the times! And I have to say, I am hooked, just like Obama with the blow. You are refreshing, and smart. I love your perspective. I especially love your view on the greatest fraud/charlatan the U.S has every been subjected to. Barack Obama is a criminal and I am disgusted and outraged over the Libya tragedy. Give us more info on Junkie Barry!
I have been reflecting upon 1994 mid-terms when Repubs took back the House for the first time in 40 years. I was a faithful watcher of CNN then. The first two stories the next day were the fact that Ted Kennedy and Chuck Robb were re-elected. It was the day I woke up to the existance of the Minitru.
Two years later after being spanked by Repubs, Clinton won with 49.2% of the vote. Clinton was the conservative, charismatic chandidate who ran against the very caricature of a Rockefeller Republican and Ross Perot.
This was of course because Clinton knew he had to compromise on certain things to get ahead. Obama never has. Clinton was smart enough that when his telepromter malfunctioned he finished the speech from memory. Clinton was also the master of the one liner (“an (personal) attack never fed a hungry child”). Obama self destructs without a script.
All of this in his favor and still Clinton never came close to the
50%+ that Romney has in the polls. The reason for that was the carry over of support for Repubs from 2 years before. This year it is the Dem that is the decidedly uncharismatic running without giving anyone one good reason to elect him. dd to this the carry over of Repub support from 2 years before.
Add all of this up and it is going to be ugly for Obama.
Noonan is another one of those ivory tower elitist idiots. She speaks in this hushed tone to make herself sound important.
She’s an idiot, but needs to make a living, so writes this crap. Glad I no longer am blinded by the fact that just because they’re on teevee they know more than me. I’m finding more and more, these idiots don’t. The demonrats definitely do not, the dc, ny cocktail party repubs don’t either.
I’m glad someone else is annoyed by Noonan’s “hushed tone.” She belongs on NPR – for more than one reason. Those people annoy me so much because they all speak in this fake, hushed, oh-so-earnest monotone. NPR always puts me to sleep. My husband insists on listening to their tripe in the car, so I always bring a pillow.
That’s so funny. I fall asleep listening to talk radio all the time. Almost any kind of TV show makes me sleepy too. I need to have all the lights on and be doing something if a show is on, like folding laundry or organizing the junk drawer. Otherwise, I fall asleep.
I thought my daughter was the only person in the world who organizes her junk drawer. Now, Kevin I have to add you to the list. I’m laughing–but it’s a good thing. I’m laughing at me!
I saw a comment “somewhere” yesterday that has me perturbed. Have you heard anything about this? The question is–what is FEMA doing with that huge cache of arms and ammunition–and is that part of Obama’s homeland army? I looked around for the rest of the day and never found more.
Actually I thought Peggy’s column was maybe her awakening. It’s the best I’ve seen of hers.
Eor –
That FEMA thing is fear porn. Alex Jones started that stuff up for attention.
FEMA is not going to kill people. That will not happen.
There is a better chance of there being a great white shark lurking in your toilet tank right now.
Darn it Kevin, I love the shark comment… but I can assure you that there is a better chance of finding a frog in the toilet tank than either a shark or the FEMA camp!!
Kevin….I’m like busyscissors and just found you recently after looking into the Gwatney homicide out of curiosity. I too, feel like a johnny come lately but walking that thing backwards, through your own insight, back to the Trinity/Down Low Club, “beard” explanation and murders of Young and Bland, B.O’s homosexuality, etc. is downright disturbing. I am a retired cop in a little lefty town so I know my way around angry, drug addled gay men, and my gaydar was instantly up with B.O., but your clarity is laserlike, completely exposing this charlatan. It is inconceivable to me that this is not common knowledge, but like you say, it will eventually come out. You do need a bigger stage though my friend. Looking forward to Nov. 6….MK
I really didn’t think that Mittens was going to win until the Red Debate because of the 47% comment and some of his stumbles as a candidate. Romney isn’t the most natural candidate in the world, but I think that his awkwardness is sort of endearing. It is different from Gore and Kerry, who seem condescending to people.
The 47% comment was so lame. One needs to look at some context because it only referenced what we call rusted ons. It only gained traction with minitru and I cannot see how it would swing the result.
The same is true in Australia but it is around 33% who will never change despite the eruption of scandal.
I have been impressed with Romney as a candidate and person, too–there are so many nice things I’ve learned about him during this campaign personally. When I hear him speak, I kind of do hear Reagan–and you’re right, we need a Reagan right now.
It was widely thought Romney’s religion would be a drawback, but one advantage is that Mormons have a reputation for hyper-clean living (and strong families and other things). These qualities make a very favorable contrast.
There was a large community of Mormons in our area when I was growing up. Several of my life long friends were Mormons. They take care of their families, their neighbors, and I admire them a great deal for their dedication to the church, and the country. I miss them terribly since they have passed on. I hope some of these attributes will rub off the Romneys and onto some of the swill in the political realms.
Spot on analysis, Kevin, Noonan is still trying to justify voting for this guy in 2008.
In that first debate Obama wasn’t so radically different from before – it was just his surroundings that were. Obama has had the benefit of an adoring, non-confrontational press, teleprompters, and the spotlight for over four years.I think the only other time we’ve seen Obama share the spotlight and be publicly, directly challenged was his Healthcare summit. Paul Ryan absolutely demolished the Obama’s narrative in under 7 minutes – and Obama had that same peevish expression and a dismissive response.http://tinyurl.com/ybmedmq
The emperor has always had no clothes, It’s just taken people like Peggy Noonan A LOT longer to see it.
Good analysis, Kevin; and, I think, spot on. Denver. I remember the fear and loathing I felt that night four years ago when a strutting, imperious Obama took the stage before those fake Greek columns (meant as metaphor for Mt. Olympus I suppose) to cast benediction upon his cult-driven crowd of adorers. My,my, how times have changed; and isn’t it fitting that the beginning of the end would happen in Denver. Yes, indeed, God does work in mysterious ways.
Actually, that stage was a replica of the temple of Pergamon, a city mentioned in Revelation. Jesus called it “Satan’s seat.” Obama has always made it clear who he is and what he is up to.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pergamum
Great post, Kevin. It has been sweet to see the silencing of the Washington groupies that knew so much better how to run Mitt’s campaign than he. Pat Caddell is a particularly laughable example as he now proclaims Romney will win (but his campaign is the absolute worst in history!) No cognitive dissonance there!
Disappointingly, even Steve Hayes has shown himself to be vulnerable to the latest fad talking point. This week he was on Greta saying, Romney is ahead, but is he REALLY ahead? What? He and his boss Bill Crystal will never look the same in my eyes again.
Knowing that the Washington kidz are like lemmings following each other off one talking-point-cliff after another, I assume that BO’s 1st debate performance has given them all permission now to pile on the Obama is Doomed train. Not a bit of integrity or bravery in all this new awareness of BO’s shortcomings. You are correct to call them on it for the shallow minds and poor observers they really are.
It’s always amazed me how the “sophisticated” groupies in and out of the media swallowed the “hopium” hook, line and sinker.
I’ve come to absolutely despise the media. All the while BO was saying nothing, they spent their time interpreting what “he really meant”. Yes, the media actually thinks we’re all that stupid.
YEP, “President Romney” sounds good to me too!
Obama’s election on ’08 was “The Perfect Storm.” People were tired of Bush, then comes along this Obamania that swept all reason and objectivity away. Aided by the fawning MSM and a tanking economy, Obama’s election was a moment of insanity the nation will pay for.You’re spot on (as usual) when you say it was a strange psychotic fad, Kevin. Spot on.
But the thrill and the fad is gone, all that remains is to vote Obama and his gang out.
Kevin, another brilliant article and I concur with everything you said so succinctley. Medical professionals are in agreement with the odd performance and the drugs you relayed are accurate.
It is time now to focus on our ground patrols in those battleground states and make sure we have an army of strong conservatives who will push Mitt over the top.
I believe that the forces with Romney are soaring and they will be the most powerful ground swell ever seen in a Republican election on Nov. 6th, 2012. What Obama did in 08; the GOP will unleash in huge numbers in ’12. The momentum is building now and the tempo is too strong to go backwards. That is the true platform of Obama: ‘backwards’ replaying stalemate economic revisions and I will not say growth because there is none. Mitt will offer economic growth and undo the transformation started by this most left-wing radical progressvie in the WH.
Love that you are our Honey Badger. Thanks for giving Noonan the treatment her words deserved. She just cannot admit that Obama is not the Be All End All she told us he was back in ’08. She keeps making excuses for him that make out he is a real person, with small flaws. No. He is phoney from head to foot and I agree with you about his drug habit. Noonan is all about Noonan and is trying to get up in the front of the parade. Got news for her. PN is the cow’s tail in every pasture. Thanks for your honesty. I too was very much against Romney and viewed him with dread. I too thought he would play it safe and not be able to inspire us. He played it smart and has indeed, with Ann and Tagg’s help, inspired us.
A minute ago James Devaney Wrote:
“Obama clearly lost the first debate; tied the second debate; and won the third debate. In 2004 Bush lost all three debates and won the election. This is instructive. Obama will be re-elected President and the Tea Party will be the cause. If you believe differently bet $10,000. dollars; the bookies will be more than happy to take your money.”
Kevin, this is the kind of attitude many of us are up against. People who are so over confident that it is frightening. Either, these educated professional types (many of whom plan to spend the weekend canvassing for obama in one of the batleground states) are just stupid, or ill informed or what worries most of us, they know something we don’t know. That is the one variable a lot of us can’t quantify. Why are young professionals willing to abandon their lives and jobs to run to a battle ground state when it seems to the rest of us that this is futile? Why are they so sure he’s going to win? I have to say, if you ask everyone here, this is what has us really puzzled.
The other thing that has us really puzzled is the entire Benghazi situation. I don’t care for O’reilly but last night he was asking the right question, a devastating damning question. He wanted to know why the American people aren’t demanding answers.
I’ve never heard of James Devaney.
Who is he?
There are a lot of James Devaney’s out there in the google-verse. The way he put his name in capital letters and made such a pronouncement made me want to include that part, not just the link and the quote.
Just the act of putting your name in all caps like that says something. Bet frank luntz would have a field day with him.
I really felt that his pronouncement is totally indicative of what many of us in the blue states are dealing with these days.
We keep pushing on, none the less. My neighbors are clamoring for “more kevin” and most are registered NY dems, so to me, this is a good sign. I wrote the link to this site and made it huge and printed it out with the banner “ok, you said you wanted “more Kevin”, guess you missed the link, well here it is and then the link” and a request to pass it on.
Thanks Kevin, you are terrific at zinging the idiot Republican Inc tools and this is an excellent take on Tokyo Noonan and the rest of the eyeores. I’m going to take a look at the debate to see how Moosechelle drags the drugged out BO off the stage…that has got to be an epic moment in the POTUS history!
Oooh. I like the “Tokyo Noonan” bit.
I think it can be applied to all these people:
Tokyo Allahpundit
Tokyo Erikson
Tokyo Shapiro
Very, very good stuff.
There are still many sites that,ten days til Armageddon, are locked into that deluded leftist bubble. Here is a gaming site I have been following for many years. Many of the posters here are quite intelligent, many work in the gaming, IT and film production biz, many Californians. Ironic that several are Eve Online players and were gaming friends with the kid Sean Smith who was murdered in Libya.
Most posters here believe that Obama is comfortably ahead in the polls and will win with ease. I am anticipating the meltdown this next week as the truth begins to dawn on these poor folks…
http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/forumdisplay.php?f=9
Can you keep an eye on them?
Can you watch for when the meltdown happens?
Screengrab it if you can.
I was driving hubby to work this morning, and even though much of America’s eyes were opened at that first debate in Denver, hubby is the biggest eeyore around. He’s convinced (by the media “even FOX!”) that Barack Obama will win a 2nd term. I just told him, “you’ll see”. He’ll vote for Romney like me, but he sure is a downer about this election. Wait ’till I tell him I volunteered for the GOTV efforts on election day – hee, hee.
Mom in Wisconsin
Maybe he can learn something from this.
Like, in the future, when he’s being an Eeyore you can say “Bob, you’re doing that thing you do again. Remember what you put me through in the 2012 election for no reason. You’re doing that again”.
This works wonders on Justin. He’ll put me through something stupid once…and when it’s over I then have that card to play later. If he starts doing something similar again, I just remind him what he did the last time and he stops.
He hates giving me an opportunity to say “This is that thing you do” or when I ask “Are you doing that thing you do sometimes?”.
I don’t know if straight people can use this, but it works on gay guys.
Thank you! I haven’t been able to stomach Noonan since watching her on election night rhapsodizing over his speech and having some kind of come to Jesus moment over the greatness of Barrack Obama. I mean seriously, ‘We are the ones we’ve been waiting for?” THAT’S great political rhetoric? Because we know what he was really saying is ‘I’M the one you’ve been waiting for.”
Now her eyes are finally opened to what some of us always knew? It wasn’t that hard. Obama has always lectured, he has never shown any kind of warmth or connection to anyone other then himself. On election night after he had won, he didn’t share the stage with his adoring wife, children and family as other politicians do, it just wasn’t big enough to hold his greatness AND them.
If you watch some of Obama’s speeches from his campaign and early into his term, you’ll notice how his nose is always lifted in the air as he speachifies, showing how oh so important his words are. The media loved taking photo’s of that. Over time, his nose has sunk down to a natural level, much like he himself has shrunk as a human being, down to mortal status.
I have noticed in comments on articles people wondering what kind of drugs Obama is on, so that hasn’t gone unnoticed. Even my own parents have mentioned that he acted drugged during the third debate.
Sensible people were appalled at the hero worship in 08 of a man who had done nothing in his life and never held an executive position. It was Soviet style mass brain-washing. Noonan endorsed Obama in 08. Enough said.
Hi guys! First time poster here!
Love the site! I agree that Romney’s going to win this thing handily. I think somewhere around 4-6% nationally. It could be larger though. Maybe as high as 8-9%.
My electoral vote prediction as of now (it changes daily) is 316 for Romney to 222 for Obama.
Romney carries Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Colorado, Iowa, and the 2nd district in Maine.
Obama gets Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, and Oregon.
If Romney could flip MN, MI, NV, and OR then it would be 355 to 183. Could happen but it’s unlikely.
I post on a lot of other sites and try to convince people that it’s going to be a rout.
That Univ. of CO study has Romney winning by around 100 electoral votes. Dick Morris says it’ll be 4-8%. Wayne Allyn Root says 5-7%.
If you’re not familiar with Wayne Allyn Root, you should look him up. He’s been dead on accurate with political predictions in the past.
I’ve been pretty accurate too. In 2010 I predicted that Republicans would easily win the House and it would be a net gain of 60-80 seats. Ended up being in the low 60′s so I was a bit disappointed while all the Eeyores were celebrating because they thought it would be in the 30′s. I overshot that prediction just a bit so that’s why I’m being conservative this time around and saying 4-6% win for Romney even though I want it to be larger.
A win’s a win though. Just so long as that horrible president is gone.
Eric, check out the Unskewed Polls web site, the predictions might surprise you. Like you, I over-estimated the mid-terms a bit. What Dick Morris said is the playing field got so big for the GOP in the final stretch that they just didn’t have the resources to put behind their candidates in all those unexpected places. Based on new campaign finance reports, the Romney camp definitely has the resources to close this thing. I was lucky enough to listen in on a campaign strategy call and all is going forward exactly as planned. I’m not sure Mitt estimated the excitement of the last few weeks, but that is to his credit in my book. Sometimes he reminds me of a Dad in one of those great old Disney movies. He’s the underdog all the way through and then at the end he’s everybody’s hero.
I hope you are correct.
Peggy Noonan’s book about Ronald Reagan, “When Character was King” is a great read – but that’s because of the subject, NOT the author. Peggy also did some nice stories about the FDNY after 9/11…..but other than that, she is a typical East Coast liberal Republican who can’t get enough of self adulation (or Merlot)!
She was one of the first and most vocal traitors in 2008 – couldn’t say enough good things about Bambi or enough disparaging things about Sarah Palin – but now that she’s finally admitting that the Boy King has no clothes, I hope everyone will remember her past writings.
We don’t like you, we don’t trust you – don’t go away mad, my dear….just go away!
I agree. I cried at the end of “When Character was King.” I also thoroughly enjoyed “What I Saw at the Revolution” – also about the Reagan years. Too bad she doesn’t have an internal conservative compass, or else hers is broken.
Our local conservative talk radio morning show was talking about the last debate and how Romney’s line about the US freeing people from dictators was Reaganesque. Then one of them said, maybe in a few years from now, we will think of a line like that as ‘Romneyesque’. I really do believe that this is the case of a man being in the right place at just the right time in history – like so many other great leaders in the history of this nation.
The local talk show, by the way, is completely in the tank for Romney, as they like to say, and has been predicting a mini-landslide win for Romney for the past several weeks. No eeyores there!
I agree. Once I heard Noonan speak on a couple of occasions and read a couple of her articles about 15 years ago, I recognized her as a rather dim bulb/shallow thinker.
The icing on the cake was her lauding of the previous pope and how he was instrumental in her taking her Catholic faith more seriously. JP II’s pontificate was nothing short of a disaster for the Catholic Church. The “JP II, we love you !” crowd are generally rather shallow when it comes to practicing the Catholic faith.
Steve, you could not be more wrong about JPII.
Steve:
JP II was the entre to the start of restoring the Catholic Church to its infallible Tradition … a’la pre-Vatican II state (modernized but not desicrated). Without JP II, there would not be a Pope Benedict XVI. And without Benedict, the return to the essentials of the faith would have ended with JP II.
Do people still read Peggy Noonan? I gave up on her when she came out for Obama back in 2008. It’s one thing to not like McCain. It’s quite another to swallow the “hope & change” kool-aid. Honestly I don’t care what she thinks anymore.
I agree that 2010 was a clear signal that most Americans were done with the Hope & Change. The effects of the smoke, mirrors and kool-aid had worn off and the public was getting very concerned about this president’s inability to get the economy moving, and his persistence in pushing legislation on us that is bad for America. As much as the MSM would like this to not be true, the Tea Party has not gone away. In fact, I think the Tea Party and their principles will become the mainstream Republican party in pretty short order. If not, they will form a third party.
Kevin, you talk about a sea change in the Democrat party where the lefties who have been in charge for a while now will be pushed aside and the party will move more to the center. I think the Republicans, who have been in the center for a while, will move more to the right. I am voting happily for Romney this year, but it’s mostly because he sent me a clear signal in his choice of Paul Ryan. If he had chosen one of the “moderate” (meaning RINO) governors he was supposedly considering, I would have seen that as a sign that he would be working to move the party to the left. Paul Ryan was a choice that said, “Fiscal responsibility first.” For me, that was the moment that the Romney campaign caught fire.
Okay, Kevin, you have really got to get out of my head about Noonan. I thought the exact same thing. She’s supposed to be an ‘astute’ observer of politics. S – L – O – W isn’t she! While I’m glad the scales are finally slipping from her eyes, I can’t help but wonder what took so long? She’s just now starting to realize that Obama isn’t the awesomeness she thought he was.
The real damage Obama did to himself re the debates is that he showed himself to be a liar. All those ads demonizing Romney – that Romney didn’t show up. People met Romney without the FILTER. And it was nothing like the caricature presented by our national pravda and Obama’s campaign. What else are they lying about? Oh yeah – Benghazi. (Wait til Bill Clinton finally gets Hillary to publish those emails Klein says she has that show she’d requested more security for Benghazi, but Obama denied it.)
Authenticity is a huge issue for the voter. Obama is not real anymore to many folks who fell for the schtick. That’s killing Obama – and since he can’t tell the truth to save his soul, there is no direction but down for him.
Once the liar is exposed, nothing he can say will change anybody’s mind.
TGIF, Kevin -
I so look forward to your BLI (body Language Interpretation) of the lead photo in this article:
http://www.buzzfeed.com/mhastings/valerie-jarrett-versus-the-haters
Interesting article, Nick. It’s my theory that Jarrett is heavily involved in the Bengazi matter. This is so obviously a puff piece. I wonder if this is an attempt to make her look good before all of the knives come out?
She is so different…if you populated a room full of random strangers and put Valerie in it and I did not know who she was, I’m pretty sure she would be one of the first people I would approach. Always smiling, she seems so pleasant and well, approachable. Not like Hillary or Michelle. But the stories you hear about her, she must transform herself or something…
you have to be kidding Steve.
Valerie Jarrett has the kind of smile that would turn someone into stone.
They told early on that she is the go between–between Obama and his wife. What the heck kind of a deal is that?
Scratch that Electoral college prediction.
Just looking at some Nevada polling. Romney’s going to carry Nevada, so make that 322 to 216.
What’s interesting is the leftist’ complete inability to understand why the female vote is collapsing so badly on them. To understand what happened, especially with the first debate, is that while there might have been many women planning to vote for Romney, they were still not “supporting” him until then.
The democrats (as they were once known) used to understand the women vote well. Bill Clinton did better than anyone. He cheated on his wife, but women still flocked to him. Why? They felt an emotional connection to him that they didn’t have with Bob Dole. You can throws issues at them all you want, but what ultimately wins women is the “character vote”. If they believe you are a truly nice person and your views are moderate enough, they will vote for you. Why? Because they trust you.
Men, I find tend to vote more on issue and party, and less on character. The guy can be an idiot, but if he’s in your party or aligns with you on the issues, they’ll go with him.
Bush and Gore was close because women didn’t really connect to either (among several other reasons). Women, I believe, went more by party and issue since they couldn’t by character.
But this election, the GOP is pummeling the democrats into the Earth on the “character” vote and it’s why they are winning women over in spades. The leftist just don’t get it, because they don’t get women.
Men get partisan on issues and party. Women, do as well to an extent, but more than anything they get partisan on the character. When most women defend Obama, how do they do it? They talk about issue and politics, but at heart they use those to defend the “character” of Obama. What they are trying to say is, “HE’S A DECENT MAN!”
What the left is in denial of, or has failed to grasp, is the rise of the Ryanistas. This group has become so numerous that Urban Dictionary has actually added this term. These are women who devotedly follow everything about Paul Ryan. They even comb through CSpan footage just to watch him talk.
Not to say they don’t care about the issues and aren’t voting by those as well. It’s just harder to get women motivated based on issue than it is men in my opinion. But they’ll get super fired up if they’ve been won over on the character vote.
These Ryanista’s have fan clubs all over the place, especially on tumblr. Some of them describe going to other states just to attend Paul Ryan rallies. When Paul Ryan stopped at Pittsburgh a couple days back look at the crowd. LOTS of women, especially as close to the front as they could get. Paul Ryan spoke the other day, making a crack about Boehner’s name and saying it as “Boner”. All behind him and mostly around him are women who laughed. Several of them are also dressed in stylish clothes like saying, “Gotta look good for Paul”.
From these Ryanista’s blogs they write of buying anything and everything with Paul Ryan on it. Again they care about the issues, but several of them even admit to being “pro-choice” and yet they adore Paul.
The Romney campaign must be aware because they had on facebook a “Donate $5 and win a dinner with Paul Ryan”. Who do you think donated right away? The Ryanistas!
The ones on tumblr describe meeting other “Ryanistas” who don’t keep accounts at these rallies. They go to swing states just to see Paul. Once women form fan clubs for a guy, you are getting quite a following. They are being won because they believe in the character of Mitt and Ryan.
The democrats can blast away about abortion and medical health all they want, it won’t win women. And a good chunk of these women are pro-choice, but they TRUST and LIKE Mitt and Ryan. The left won’t win them, especially not with Biden having treated their “perfect man” Ryan like crap at the second debate. Not with messages like “who would you rather sleep with?”
Plus when women decide you are a nice person and become devoted to praising your character, they’ll form groups and become intolerant of anyone who defames their character — got a Zac Effron club and defame him (You’ll be lucky to leave alive). I’ve seen it in some of these Ryanista blogs. They gets spammed by Haters and shrug off the issues, but will not accept attacks on Mitt and Ryan’s characters.
When women like someone, they’ll always praise the person even if they disagree with the issues. They’ll even push that on other women. Instead of a political debate, they’ll get into a character debate. I’ve witnessed on some of these discussions all out war between the Ryanistas and the haters, that resulted in the haters begrudgingly ceding that Paul Ryan is a nice guy.
Some of these haters have even been converted to Paul Ryan over time because they were on won on character. But that’s how a lot of women do it and how they push more to join them.
The media always attacked the character of GOP candidates to keep female voters away, but this election the GOP finally has understood how you really win women to your side. This is why the democrats are toast and why the women are abandoning them for the better men.
Women look at Romney and they see a man. A real man. Not a man-child, like Obama. The distinction was painfully obvious at the first debate and it’s only grown stronger with each debate. Standing side by side, there’s no comparison. Any woman who has dated or been married to a man-child knows the difference.
In Romney, women see a man who is smart, worked hard, and provided a very good living for his family. The reaction is more than than just attraction. It’s visceral and instinctive.
And of course, it doesn’t hurt that Romney is movie-star handsome.
Man-child–otherwise known as Mama’s boy. Ah yes!!
He was buzzed in the second and third debates, too, probably on coke. His temper was mercurial, his sentences were disjointed, his though patterns were clearly interrupted and he fidgeted and blinked a lot. Coke gives a false sense of bravado and aggression; Obama was all that.
The fads are not entirely inexplicable, they rely on the same basis as the fear porn – a media driven society. It is almost a corollary to the Alinsky rule for radicals to deal with opposition – freeze it, polarize it, make it personal or some such nonsense. The media finds something they can sell: beanie babies craze or November 7th race riots; they put a spotlight and magnifying glass on it (eventually burning their target to a crisp in doing so); and scream that everyone needs to look at this huge, bright thing. Find it, blow it out of proportion, sell it – the rules for Fear Porn and fads. Fads are about selling ad space; fear porn is about selling ad space.
How could it have come this close? I do not understand why it took this long for the media to finally turn.
Was this president just not as bad as I perceived him to be? I am really baffled Bill Clinton is even campaigning for him.
Because the media is marxist. It is that simple.
I want to point something out that I’m not sure has been mentioned, and if it has been mentioned, it has not been mentioned enough, I don’t think.
Mitt Romney is a Mormon. Why does that matter? Because Mormons have been viciously persecuted for decades. Remember, Mitt’s dad had to, I think, flee to Mexico because of this issue. Or his grandfather did.
If one comes from a persecuted minority, one soon learns how to market and sell oneself to the larger majority population. It becomes a matter of survival, the ability to fit in.
Thus, Romney and many people from the LDS community have been forced to become master marketers, almost by necessity. They are used to being disrespected (“the group that has guys walking in pairs with white shirts and ties to proselytize”), marginalized and mocked.
Anyone who has spent much time around Mormon individuals and families will tell you two things about them: they are incredibly family-oriented, in general, and they work very hard to help out other members of their circle, the extended LDS community. Their community is extremely tight-knit, much as, say, an Amish community might be.
The upshot of what I’m saying is this: it is very hard to come from a Mormon background, in my opinion, and be ‘soft.’ Particularly of someone who is as successful as Romney has been, in various aspects of his life. Mitt is a figurative street fighter in the political arena. This is why many of his opponents, including Obama, end up not liking him. Like Bill Clinton, he can insert the metaphorical dagger of Brutus into your Caesar while smiling at you all the while. And insert it with expert precision.
Mitt was never going to be a John “honorable campaign” McCain. That’s just not who he is, or what he comes from. And we can all thank goodness for that, because such an individual would never be able to beat Barack Obama and his team in a political contest.
It’s annoying to still see so much fear porn and defeatism on conservative sites, both in the articles and comments sections.
One of the worst offenders is Breitbart.com. If Andrew Breitbart were still alive, he’d be policing every single word they published, and have it locked-down like Area 51.
I had a similar reaction to the Noonan column. At times, her pieces are worth reading, but too often she writes as though she speaks for the entire western world: “This is what we are all feeling … this is what we are now all realizing …” I wish she would just state what she thinks or she feels and quit her “collective” point of view. Some of us know exactly what we think and don’t need peer pressure to make up our minds or figure something out. If she was truly surprised by the debate, then she hasn’t been paying attention. If she is only pretending to be surprised, then she’s operating as a slick hack trying to sway public opinion. Neither of those options wins my respect. A famous Las Vegas betting guy said a few months ago that Obama would lose because nothing has changed since 2010 and look how that election went. That’s the kind of common sense I pay attention to. The only difference now that Paul Ryan is on the ticket and Mitt Romney did so well in the debates is that instead of just casting a vote for Mitt, people will be excited about casting it. I watched some of the Romney/Ryan rally at Red Rocks. The media can ignore it all they want, but it’s real. People are realizing that Mitt Romney is the right man at the right moment in time. As Ronald Reagan would have put it: Mitt is having a rendezvous with destiny.
A Chicago politician who has known Obama through the years, has been saying that he’s been telling people for years, that the Obama everyone saw at the Denver debate, is the real Obama – that’s how he;s known Obama to be for all the time he’s known him.
Another observation about Obama is that he has to be a simpleton to have picked Joe Biden as his running mate. I believe Kevin that Joe is a “nice” guy, but something is wrong with him, whether it’s alcohol or brain damage, something. But now Biden’s outdone himself.
The father of Trayvon Woods, the ex-SEAL killed in Lybia, said that Biden came over to him, when they were receiving the bodies and said, in a loud boisterous tone: “Did your son always have balls the size of cue balls?”
So when people talk about how Romney and Ryan don;t care about people, but Obama and Biden do….I just have to shake my head. This has to be the Biggest pair of Losers politicians America has ever had inflicted about it. God Bless America, please.
PS. I’ve sent money to the Romney campaign, and signed up to make phone calls, which I’m doing today. I also have the option of crossing over the border and working in NV which I might do next week. Thanks for all the links and encouragement Kevin.
It sounds to me like Biden has brain damage and it is in that part of his brain that causes him to say offensive things. I think, from memory it is the frontal lobe.
Let’s just say that in my past I have known people with such an affliction. They tend to say things in an uninhibited way and never seem to be aware of the offense that they cause. That to me is Joe Biden.
I agree he should not be the VP pick.
I feel that even if Obama hadn’t been comatose that night he still would have lost. That debate was about the economy.
Obama would have lost the debate regardless. Being comatose just made it worse.
Kevin you are correct. Peggy Noonan is a Manhattan RINO who fawned over Obama when he “won” in 2008. I rarely read anything she writes.
Your articles keep getting better each day. I am not saying that to give you fawning praise but I am always impressed at how you see things that others do not see. Your on the ground insight in Chicago also adds so much.
It appears that the Libya situation is getting worse. You were one of the first people to really go into detail on Chris Stevens and the men who tried to protect him. That story is just heartbreaking. They abandoned those men. Keep up the good work.

I’m listening to Rush. He has a caller on the line who is obviously ex military or intelligence. The guy gave Rush a wealth of knowledge. Rush is boiling it down to “some where, some how, some one forgot to make a gutsy call”. But the guy was saying so much more.
Does anyone know if Rush puts clips from the show up on his site? It would be good for people to hear that caller.
I’m a Rush 24/7 member and that is the only way to get access, I believe, to his audio.
I like Rush but that is not what went down. It was not someone forgot to make a gutsy call. Kevin or Lame Cheery or Ulsterman Report or all of them pointed out that Stevens was a setup for a phony rescue mission that blew up in Obama’s face. It was the October Surprise that blew up.
Stevens was the October Surprise where Obama would rescue a “kidnapped” Stevens. Someone “bought out the contract” and got Stevens and killed them. Double dealing and dealing is common in Arab lands. The highest bidder wins. I think The Ulsterman Report had the best coverage on this.
The alternative story was Stevens was “cleaning up” Obama’s gun running to Syria and the Muslim Brotherhood. Stevens knew too much and was killed. Fast and Furious was a gun running scheme as well. We will never know what really happened.
Rush saying someone failed to make a gutsy call is nonsense. If Rush speculates what really happened – he will sound like a kook.
This was a October Suprise to rescue Stevens that went wrong.
It’s up on YouTube. Here’s the link to the call if the embed doesn’t work:
http://youtu.be/lljKmmZyCiw
Maybe Peggy Noonan ought to ask us why we were able to, in 2008, predict what a disaster Obama would be, and then ask herself why it took her until 03 October 2012 to make the same conclusion.
Obama has never had to run on his record – not in the private sector, not for reelection in a hotly contested race, and I would bet, not even for college admissions. All he needed was “hope and change!” to get elected. Romney’s spent his life running on his record and running on specifics.
It wasn’t a rhetorical wipe-out: it was simply unvarnished, untainted reality.
We’ll never know the total behind the scenes—was Val-eerie detoxing Obama and later decided he was better on maintenance doses? He was definitely not all there, but even when he is, he’s not impressive even with his “death stare” — he’s what I would call “one mean little ****.”

Kevin,
I was a lifelong Dem., loved the Clintons, knew that a D would win in 2008 and thought Hillary the best choice, having read both his books I was onto Zippy from the start. Seeing how she was treated, I voted for McCain. The whole process opened my eyes to the “malfeasance” of the mainstream media and to really believing in core Republican values, so I knew I would be voting against Zippy no matter who was running, but I’ve really grown to love the Romney’s. I can’t help believing that there might be a significant number of the 18million primary voters who were with Hillary that might have taken the same political journey. Unfortunately, some of the journey has left me disappointed in Hillary.
“I am proud to be a “Romney Guy”, and Great Merciful Zeus and Sweet Whitney Houston I never in my life thought I’d say THAT.”
One of the delights over the past 4 years has been to watch you bloom into a full-blown conservative. You were mugged for supporting Hillary.
That revealed the true you.
Rock on
I’ve said this before, but Peggy Noonan really is mentally ill. PTSD from 9/11. Read her writings immediately afterwards and you will see what I mean. She was full of herself from her Reagan days already and really resented being skipped over by the Bushes. No need to dog pile her. Her problem is that she continues to be given a forum for her blatherings.
Widdle Joey Biden seems to suffer from alcoholic dementia. And it probably doesn’t help him that he has the shrew of a wife that he does (who probably drove him to excess consumption). People like Jill who insist upon being called doctors because they have a PhD have always grated on me.
One picture of Obama tells you everything that you need to know about him: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2010/09/obamas-maneuver-a-federal-umbrella.html (i.e. the umbrella picture).
And Michelle – I could go on about her for days and will pass up the temptation for snark (actually, can I just get a rain check?), but she may be the most sane person in the WH – and she’s taking EVERY advantage that she can because she’s just an opportunist, and has been her whole life.
I want to believe, I want to believe, I want to believe. . ..but I never thought my fellow countrymen would elect Obama to start with. When they did I lost all faith in them. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together should’ve noticed that “hope” and “change” had no definitions, Obama had no resume, and the whole shuck-and-jive was a scam. But they didn’t care, they elected this idiot to the Presidency!
I want to regain faith in my fellow citizens, and I pray this election will restore it.
I need restoration and faith in this country as well. All Amercans should be standing behind Mtt Romney and Paul Ryan.
His numbers are 50 right now, Obama 47 which is way too high considering everything that has come out about this fraud.
The books by illustrioius writers are out there in numbers, the documentary 2016 and another film on Frank Marshall Davis, his mentor are excellent sources. The bibliographies are extensive and certainlly books will be written using these as the foundation examining how he fooled this country and the extent of harm done.
Noonan, David Gergin et al can lament that they were not powerful enough in their writings to expose him hard and early on.
You are 100% right about Ohio. The 2012 election was won for the republican nominee the day after the healthcare plan passed . And the 2010 elections prove that . In the 2010 Ohio U.S. House elections the republicans got 2,053,000 versus 1,613,000 for the Democrats . A 12% difference . There is no way the extra 1/3 turnout in a presidential election will make up for a 12% deficit . The Dems would need to take 74% of the extra votes just to tie .
I think Obama is pu..y whipped. It’s the democrat/socialist way, they remove womanly feminity and emasculate the males, Obama is a product of a spoiled mother that ruled her family and his grandmother was the harder working of the pair. Michelle gives him permission to live, Valarie rules both M&B for his handlers. He practices deception to get around the control and when he does he practices bad judgement, hence the drugs and the promiscuity. Frankly he needs all the help he can get. He lies about everything to the point he doesn’t know the difference between true and untrue. All the charm people see are his coping methods. People that FALL for this are really enablers. Now they are waking up to his destructive ways. Some still remain enablers!
When I told friends that he was possibly affected by illegal drugs during the first debate, they jumped on MY case! I hope that as soon as he goes down all the facts about him will be revealed. My friends think I’m off the deep end about politics but honestly I saw thru BO way before the first election. I have a very hard time with people who voted for him once let alone peole who are voting for him again!
I do remember him giving the keynote address, and I remarked at the time, “The dems will really push this guy”. Then I lost track of him until he screwed over Hillary and I thought, “This guy is pure evil”. I wasn’t rooting for her, but I took note of it.
Our family talked about this a lot and enough was revealed or rather hidden that we all knew he was evil. I was dumfounded that so many others were bamboozled by him!
