When Peggy Noonan, as sycophantic a political journalist as you are likely to find these days, calls your presidential style “crass” (defined as “without refinement, delicacy, or sensitivity; gross; obtuse; stupid”) you can bet that your days as POTUS are numbered.
Hopefully, ninety-two days to be exact, which would be the end of the Obozo presidency. And Queen Michelle’s million-dollar vacations on the taxpayer, which were crass all along, even if Noonan didn’t say so.
MORE: Fortunately, we no longer have to rely on the Noonans. The so-called “debates,” which couldn’t pass for real debates in a third-rate high school, have been very revealing:
“Americans who have just begun to tune into the election are seeing the president unmediated. They no longer are looking at him through the scrim of fawning press, majestic settings, and roaring crowds. And they are discovering that Obama is not so likable at all. He is actually something of a jerk.”

Uhu… but I’m still not betting.
There are at least two schools of thought on wagering. Some say betting is for suckers. Others say if you don’t bet you can’t win.
I guess their debate performance is a relative perception kinda thing. It is hard to believe that o sucks so bad in 2012, and he kicked Uncle John’s ass so bad in 2008.

True. Maybe the difference is that O had no record in ’08 and could run on generalities. And Uncle John was handicapped by the white man-black man thing and was deferring like mad. Trying not to accuse.
Whereas Mittens has been accusing all along and has plenty of O-record ammo to accuse with. And O knows his record is in the shitter and so he’s being arrogant, which comes naturally, apparently, though it didn’t sound that way in ’08.
I’m really enjoying his self-destruction. Just hope it continues. Don’t see how/why it won’t, nor how he could possibly win unless every one of the folks on welfare gets initiative all of a sudden and actually votes.
