Thanks for your comment.
But think back. ...Blair,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />But think back. <br /><br />It's true that Obama is under fire and that the media are covering for him. But his poll numbers are still in the mid to high 40s. <br /><br />And, can you think of a single major initiative he has lost? <br /><br />ObamaCare waivers, Gulf oil permits, the action against Boeing, and on and on. No one in the Republican leadership is noting all this illegal activity.<br /><br />Yes, the Republicans are talking about how we should not spend more than we take in. But that's the whole point of my post. They talk only about money and agree with him that the social safety net - i.e. the welfare state - should be preserved.<br /><br />Obama may be losing the moral debate in your and my eyes, and many conservatives. But with the broader general public? I don't see much objective evidence of that.Jeffrey Perrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11841019772535869442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-18127590994458381592011-07-04T05:39:25.252+12:002011-07-04T05:39:25.252+12:00What a strange post!

He is losing the debate and losing badly, because people are looking at Greece and realise that Obama is sending them there.<br /><br />Secondly, the GOP are fighting Obama on values - the value that it is morally wrong to spend more than you earn. It's simple and direct and unlike Perren's suggestions needs very little explanation.<br /><br />I agree that there should be more debate about what the Federal government should and shouldn't do, but the idea that the Republicans are losing the debate because they aren't talking about it is nonsense. Obama is in deep trouble, and the only reason he is not even less popular is that the media are absolutely fawning over him.Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865567065778234500noreply@blogger.com
