Hey, TCM, aren’t those workouts supposed to be putting some pep in your step?
Neo-neocon says it looks to her like TCM is publicly getting overwhelmed.
This is what you’d expect from a post-modern narcissist who wrote two autobiographies before the age of forty-five, both of which were full of navel-gazing about his identity and his stinking feelings about just about everything.

“…there’s no exhaustion or fear in the presidency. Oh, both may exist, all right. But it’s never a good idea to own up to either, because doing so undermines public trust, and creates a sense of doubt and panic.”
An argument can be made that Bush too stubbornly refused to own up to his own mistakes for too long. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Mistakes are there for all to see, so why not own them?
“A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is but saying… that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.”

Yeah, that’s what we need, a presidential meltdown. Bravo from the peanut gallery.

It is quite overwhelming though, and surely he did not create this mess, not in 3 weeks. Lay off,l why dontcha? But I know you think you are doing your patriotic duty. And being a strong and brave man while doing it.

Losing is OK, but being a sore one? This is more crying sooner than I ever heard outta the libs when Reagan was elected.

I apologize. The left is apparently on his ass like flies on shinola, shouldn’t this help?:

Obama fails his first test on civil liberties and accountability — resoundingly and disgracefully
“…the new President — who repeatedly condemned the extreme secrecy of the Bush administration and vowed greater transparency — has now acted to protect, purely on secrecy grounds, the government…”
There’s another post on there from Camille Paglia entitled “Obama sputters out of the gate, but don’t fear yet”
Take heart, there’s lotsa fingers. Ain’t that America?

No crying going on here. Just an appropriately furious stating of the facts. This administration has done nothing postive in its first three weeks, and plenty negative. Go back and read your BN posts over this period. From offering our balls to Iran to eat for lunch, to cluelessness about Russia’s aims, to choking the energy sector with rescinding oil and gas exploration in Utah and off our coasts, to Tim Geithner’s pathetically vague banking plan that doesn’t give any clue as to how the bad assets ought to be valued, to cutting loose our tax dollars to pay for foreign abortions, to the Obama and Pelosi conspiring to keep meaningful tax cuts out of any discussion on curing the recession – and this is a very partial list – this has been a disaster.
Again, I ask, just what is it you stand for? What is this shit about giving this regime a “chance” when we know exactly what its designs are – as most recently evidenced by what it has already done?

And as for that “fellow countrymen” jive, I quit thinking of the Freedom Haters that way in 1986. They are, by definition, out to destroy the very essence of America: freedom. That “we-must-remember-they-are-not-our-enemies” garbage is what got John McCain’s entrails clawed out last November.
