Obama sows seeds of demise
By Dick Morris
Posted: 04/28/09 05:45 PM

When the Obama administration crashes and burns, with approval ratings that fall through the floor, political scientists can trace its demise to its first hundred days. While Americans are careful not to consign a presidency they desperately need to succeed to the dustbin of history, the fact is that this president has moved — on issue after issue — in precisely the opposite direction of what the people want him to do.

Right now, Obama’s ratings must be pleasing to his eye. Voters like him and his wife immensely and approve of his activism in the face of the economic crisis. While polls show big doubts about what he is doing, the overwhelming sense is to let him have his way and pray that it works.

But beneath this superficial support, Obama’s specific policies run afoul of the very deeply felt convictions of American voters. For example, the most recent Rasmussen Poll asked voters if they wanted an economic system of complete free enterprise or preferred more government involvement in managing the economy. By 77-19, they voted against a government role, up seven points from last month.

<SNIP>

By 62-20, they said government spending, under Obama, was “out of control.”

So if voters differ so fundamentally with the president on the very essence of his program, why do they accord him high ratings? They are like the recently married bride who took her vows 100 days ago. It would be a disaster for her life if she decides that she really doesn’t like her husband. But she keeps noticing things about him that she can’t stand. It will be a while before she walks out the door or even comes to terms with her own doubts, but it is probably inevitable that she will.

<SNIP>

Obama’s very activism these days arrogates to himself the blame for the success or failure of his policies. Their outcome will determine his outcome, and there is no way it will be positive.

<SNIP>

So Mr. Obama should enjoy his poll numbers while he may.

7. This is all I need to say about Morris.

"There is a seismic shift for McCain," Morris told Newsmax. "It could turn into an earthquake this weekend." - Morris on a Zogby DAILY SAMPLE released October 31st showing McCain leading Obama by 1.

15. hahaha!

[Bucky]

24. Yes, the Democrats have been doomed ever since FDR's Hoot Smalley Tariff

Seriously, it's like they're from another planet some days.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

6. what you say.

8. Right. It was a total false choice, with loaded options. Like: Do you like capitalism...or not?

Typical. He has a poll out now that actually shows Repugs beating Dems on generic ballot. I'm convinced Rasmussen massaged the fuck out of his numbers until around election time when he can't get away with it.

[Aloha Spirit]

11. I wish I could find the link for the rasmussen poll, I'm almost positive I read if a few days ago

online, I just don't have time to track it down right now....
But I'll take a look later.
Bottom line, these stupid polls invent "facts" but are harmless until they get quoted as fact in the media.

[RaleighNCDUer]

9. And it was an internet poll, at that?

They've really given up trying, haven't they.

[Danger Mouse]

10. Dick Morris is an assclown of epic proportions.

[rucky]

22. He's lower than an assclown.

He's a footclown.

[wryter2000]

12. They have really gone 'round the bend

Either they believe this crap, which makes them loony, or they think we're going to believe their lies, which also makes them loony.

[rateyes]

14. Dick Morris also said that Hillary Clinton would be elected president,

and that the only person who could defeat her would be Condi Rice.

Dick Morris should learn how to STFU.

[Touchdown]

16. Morris always sees the future. He's right much more than Bill Kristol

See his example from 2005...



And that is EXACTLY how it happened.:crazy:

[Touchdown]

17. Doesn't he have a prostitute's toe to suck on?

I needed to say that.

[MADem]

19. I hope that toe had one of those ugly fungus cartoons under it!!!

[ClarkUSA]

18. This means Pres. Obama will create a Democratic majority for a generation, of course.

Whatever Dick Morris says, the opposite happens. This conman taught the Clintons how to triangulate, after all.

[PBS Poll-435]

20. Condi vs Hillary

'Nuff said.

[Dr Fate]

21. Morris is still pretending to be relevant? How sad. n/t

[LynnTheDem]

23. What matters is what We The People say;

GOP poll shows Dems have advantage on key issues

Democrats were favored by a margin of 61 percent to 29 percent on education; 59 percent to 30 percent on health care and 59 percent to 31 percent on energy.
