President Obama has deranged conservatives just as W. deranged liberals.
The right’s image of Obama, though, is more a figment of its imagination than the left’s image of W. was."
Imagine:
Barack Obama is a lame-duck president already, but he probably doesn't realize it since he is surrounded by leftist zealots who insulate him from any contrary opinions and shielded by the partisan mainstream media. Obama's popularity began falling right after his election, and the percentage disapproving has exceeded those approving steadily since 2009. Each and every voting bloc that supported him in 2008 has eroded by at least 10 points... Approval on major issues (economy, budget, deficit, employment, etc.) has also eroded, with disapproval exceeding approval ratings across the board.
Despite approval ratings lower than any president's in recent history, the media push-polls are trying to sell us the idea that Obama is well liked and has a good chance to be re-elected, meanwhile ignoring any and all facts that do not support their partisan message. The good news is that there has been a mass awakening of the American people, who now realize that the mainstream media has a decided leftist tilt and that media polls can no longer be trusted.
Meanwhile, Democrats want us to believe that Obama has been a tremendous success. He promised to redistribute our wealth, and he has begun. He promised to transform our health care system, and he passed ObamaCare. He promised that his energy policies would dramatically increase energy costs, and they have. He promised to appoint justices who think like he does to the Supreme Court, and he has. He promised to pull American troops out of Iraq, regardless of the situation on the ground, and he has. He made many promises that he is trying to keep, but we just didn't listen closely enough or didn't believe that he meant what he said. Now that American voters have finally woken up, their opinion is that they don't like the country's new direction and would like to repeal much of what Obama has done! (David Coughlin at American Thinker)

On its record, the Obama administration should be sent packing, bag and baggage. It will have issued $5-trillion of new debt in one term, and publicly held federal debt as a percentage of GDP will have increased from under 50% to about 80%. It is a regime of narcissistic posturing and confidence tricks and bad policy options that richly deserves and badly needs a severe thrashing at the polls." (Conrad Black at Canada's National Post)

The left has always sought out the taboo and the transgressive, but as a society we are swiftly running out of transgresstions to embrace and protect with government legislation. The more tolerant that Americans grudgingly become in the name of decency, the harder the commissars of correctness have to search for some new bigotry to charge them with {See -Yael].
We can look to Europe as a model for the future. In France you can marry the dead. In Spain, apes have received human rights. In the United Kingdom, immigrants from within the European Union are receiving refugee status. Alexander wept because he had no more lands to conquer...." (Daniel Greenfield at Sultan Knish)

... our government has repeatedly professed that the Taliban are not our enemies." (Andrew McCarthy at National Review)
Carney told reporters... “His primary concern as Commander-in-Chief is the safety of American men and women in Afghanistan, of our military and civilian personnel there. And [apologizing] was absolutely the right thing to do.” (ibid.)
And imagine:
...Obama Embraces Antisemitic Brotherhood
.... Last June, President Barack Obama began to openly court Egypt's antisemitic Muslim Brotherhood.... Not to engage the Brotherhood, a senior administration officeal explained, "would be impractical."
