"Obama is powerless" is not a right wing meme.. But it's not a left wing meme either..

34. Re-read your OP ... at the end you asked a question.

And I answered that question. I didn't make any statement on what I thought your opinion on the matter was.

It "Obama is powerless" meme comes from both the right and the left, and in caricature form regardless of which side uses it.

The right tends to use it as an attack, to claim he is weak and ineffectual. On the left, its used as a strawman, often by those who think Obama should have been FDR, and if you disagree with them, then you are told that you are claiming he is powerless to defend him. Both of those are caricatures.

Now ... the right also has the "Obama is a scary dictator" meme. And there is a version of that one from the left as well ... recently seen in an OP discussing an article claiming that Obama is "the most imperial president the US has ever had." Again, both are caricatures.

The reality is that Obama is not a dictator, nor is he powerless. But his detractors, from the right and the left don't really care which of those opposite positions their audience takes, just so long as individuals take the core message ... Obama's a bad guy.

So no, I don't know what your opinion of Obama is, I just tried to provide an answer to your question.
