Obama Sunders the Democrats

* Bumped Up *

Last thing a drowning man or woman wants to grab is a concrete block. Meet Barack Hussein Obama. He is a bona fide chunk of cement and will ensure the rout of Democrats come November 2012. Tuesday’s special election in New York to fill the seat of Congressman Anthony “Look at my Junk” Weiner was a pure referendum on the Presidency of Obama. According to the New York Times:

A little-known Republican businessman from Queens, channeling voter discontent with President Obama into an upset, won election to Congress on Tuesday from the heavily Democratic district in New York City last represented by Anthony D. Weiner.

The Republican, Bob Turner, a retired cable television executive, defeated Assemblyman David I. Weprin, the scion of a prominent Democratic family in Queens, in a nationally watched special election.

With 84 percent of the precincts counted early Wednesday, Mr. Turner was leading Mr. Weprin by 54 percent to 46 percent, according to The Associated Press.

Thank God the Democrats are deaf, dumb and blind.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, DNC head, and the White House are spinning like a weather vane in a hurricane. They insist there is nothing to see in New York.

Democrats rejected talk that Tuesday’s election was a referendum on Obama and noted its highly unusual circumstances, including Weiner’s resignation and the fact that the contest was held two days after the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The 9/11 remembrances essentially brought the race to a halt on Sunday. Also, in a special election with a small turnout, the district’s large number of Orthodox Jews — who have drifted from Democrats since George W. Bush’s first term — played an outsize role in tilting the race toward Turner.

“This is a special election that is purely reflective of who showed up to the polls and the makeup of the district,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.), chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said in an interview after the defeat.

She said that Orthodox Jews, whose approval rating of Obama stands at just 13 percent, were far outnumbered in other districts with large numbers of Jewish voters and that this result will not be replicated elsewhere. “There isn’t any comparison between districts like mine and New York Nine,” she said.

Right. Someone has got to tell them that DENIAL ain’t a river in Egypt. They denied the meaning of Republican victories last year in Virginia’s Governor’s race and in Massachusett’s Senatorial campaign. Republicans won both and Dems

    Larry Johnson,  I’d like to know, if you please, what makes you think of Michelle Bachmann as a “fringe” candidate?

    And you’ve hit the nail squarely on its head with your conclusion.  And this, this is why the political landscape will undergo a complete transformation in 2012.  It will be so bad for the Democrats they will wander around for days in a daze sincerely wondering “Wha hoppen’d?”

      She lacks any substantive experience as an executive.  Her husband can be fairly considered a religious extremist.  Her social conservatism is out of step with the majority of Americans.  Those are my reasons.

    Michele Bachmann is a fringe candidate.  I wouldn’t vote for her if she won the nomination and I’m pretty much anyone but Obama.  Thank God she won’t win the nomination. 

    • AbigailA

      What makes you say so.  I’m curious.

      • JudyinMO

        I also want to know why Michele Bachmann is considered a fringe candidate.  I think her husband is a religious nut who is trying to “cure” gay and lesbians, and would probably be some influence on her, so I can’t vote for her in the primary.  Will vote for her or even a dead chicken if its that or oblamer.
        I’m thinking a lot of the reason Bachmann is considered a “fringe” is because she is female.
        Will this country ever come out of the dark ages?

          Like you I would vote for a dead chicken if it was running against Oblahblah.

          I don’t think that Bachmann is a fringe candidate so much as I think she’s too far right for the Independents. Her husband is also an albatrosss around her neck IMO.

          I would vote for her, or the dead chicken, against Oblahblah but I would be very concerned about her being able to win.

            Bachmann has surprised me.  She is much smarter than I suspected, but she lacks affability.   Her attractive appearance does not seem to be augmented by a pleasing character.  In short, I have learned to dislike her.  Compare her character with Palin or Reagan.  Bachmann lacks charm, charisma, appeal–whatever you want to call it.  I was ready to like her when this all started, but she lost me.  I’d vote for her against Obama, but that’s about as far as it goes.

            And, as you note, her husband is a real  serious liability. IMHO, four people are totally finished before this even gets rolling: Bachmann, Santorum, Paul, and Huntsman.

              I look into Bachmanns eyes, and I swear I can see the back of her head !!

        I do not know about being a fringe candidate but from what I see, she never listens to people. She smiles, shakes hands but does not really connect or listen to the people who come to meet her.

    Debbie Wasserman-Schultz:
    NY-9 is “a very difficult district for Democrats”
    Democratic party leaders insisted the loss wasn’t a harbinger of things to come. “It’s a very difficult district for Democrats,” said Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, noting its Democratic margins there tend to be the second lowest of all the districts in New York City.

    House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), dismissed that idea.“This is a very seriously Democrat district,” Mr. Boehner said. “This is not a district that Republicans have any right to believe we could win.”

    After Turner Earthquake in Weiner District,
    Democrats’ CivilWar Against Obama Begins

    Big Government,
    by Andrew Breitbart    
    9/14/2011

    History will never be able to tell us who made the fatal error in New York’s 9th district – Barack Obama, or Anthony Weiner. Just
    as Weiner kept on making critical errors every step of the way as his personal scandal unfolded earlier this year, President Obama has done everything in NY-09 to show that he is no friend of Israel and has no clue how to create jobs or learn from his many mistakes. I predict a tectonic shift among American Jews and
    within the Democratic Party if Obama doesn’t quietly retire.

    The White House and pinheaded Wassermann Schultz may spin this all they like. But watch to see how many Dems begin distancing themselves from Oblahblah and that will tell the tale.

      KM, from all of the analysis I have read – and, I have been pouring over the news this morning – I agree completely, the story isn’t the R win in a heavily D district.  (They voted in greater numbers (percentage) for Kerry and Gore than Obama.)  Rather, it is how the R candidate achieved the win.  Ed Koch endorsed the R and, the pundits believe, this in large part produced the outcome.  http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/277173/ed-koch-and-ny-9-stanley-kurtz

      • Wbboe

        Well, perhaps . .  . but I for one place little faith in the pundits and their benighted explanations. Objectivity is not their strong suit.  And that is because their analysis is infected by bias motive and self interest. They have a dismal track record and a remarkable penchant for being wrong when it counts. And it would be beyond the pale for some of them to treat this as a one off situation to protect Obama.

        From this distance and lack intimate knowledge of he dynamics of this district. Neverthless, I suspect that the predominant factor in the victory (although perhaps not the margin) was Obama’s overt hostility to Israel.  That issue would resonate among conservative and Orthodox Jews in the district. Secondary factors would be the state of the economy, Obama’s failure to find a cure, and the perception that he is not seriously engaged in dealing with our problems. Koch’s contribution was to highlight these problems and to show by his own example that it was permissible to cross the line.

        For what it is worth, I think Gingrich is absolutely right that Messiah Obama scares the bi jesus out of most people every waking hour of every day. And for me at least, that is the bottom line.  It serves to explain the losses which the dims have sustained in places like Virginia, Massachusetts, and elsewhere in hitherto Democrat strongholds. For me the handwriting is on the wall, but when 2/3 of the dims do not want a challenge then it becomes obvious that they are clearly in denial.  Therein lies the tragedy.

        • AbigailA

          Yeah, the explanantion that Koch somehow secured the win is predictable and self-serving.  He may have provided the impetus to Dems to go with his superior judgement for those who choose not to think for themselves, but……hmmmm?   Maybe this was the Ds way of saying most of their voters don’t think for themselves.  That’s a plausible conclusion.

          • http://twitter.com/jbjdjbjd jbjd

            I don’t think Koch “secured” the R win; I think being a popular D, his rejection of Obama had a large role in the negative outcome.  And I agree with the conclusion suggested by KenoshaMarge’s comment, that when such high-profile popular D’s abandon Obama, this will produce outcomes similar to NY’s 9th.

        • Wbboe

          Take CNN for example. On the eve of the primary, they hired trained marketing experts to come up with negative words which they could then apply to Hillary in their reportage and pundit talking points–words like polarizing, devisive, etc.  And they conspired with the Obama campaign to promote his presidency and have since enjoyed the fruits of access and influence. Meanwhile, their parent company AOL Time Warner has benefitted in tangible ways from the Obama presidency in dealing with China and elsewhere.  I think their pudits–Bill Schneider, Caffery, Mrs. Vanderbilts precious baby boy, i.e. Anderson Cooper and lest we forget Wvulfman Blitzkerieg  (I thought he retired) are a joke, and for me at least the maxim of falso in uno falso in omnibus most definitely applies.

          • Wbboe

            I was thinking about this: what exactly is a pundit?  If a celebrity is someone who is famous for being famous, then perhaps a pundit is someone who is famous for having a microphone, an opinion, and claiming he is prescient when things he said turn out to be right, and for claiming he was misunderstood when they turn turn out to be wrong.  There are a few good ones e.g Krauthammer, but most of them are strictly media whores.

              To be clear, our Larry is not a pundit.  He is an expert witness. And someone we can safely defer to on matters within his area of expertise.

          No; I didn’t say the pundits find Koch’s support of the R was the winning factor and that I agree with them.  I said, having read the pundits, I agree with KM’s implied theory that D abandonment of Obama is a larger factor in these election outcomes than everything else, including the voting patterns in the past.

            Not in this election. If you read what I wrote in another comment this election was almost entirely about Obama’s anti-Israel actions which culminated in Obama unilaterally declaring that in any peace agreement Israel will withdraw to its pre-1967 borders while Netanyahu was flying over to the USA. The Jewish outrage was intense and immediate.

            In this district Anthony Weiner went in front of cameras the day after condemning Obama’s position. Koch, Zuckerman, Dershowitz all did the same.

            This election for the Jews was payback led by Ed Koch.

            In this district there are also a lot of blue-collar Archie Bunkers who voted R because they rejected Obama’s economic policies.

              Yes; the pundits on Politico listed Ed Koch as one of the ‘winners’ of the NY-9 because of his stand on Israel. “The voluble former Democratic mayor proved that even after all these
              years, he knows how to stay relevant. It was Koch who helped lead

          One fact that is not being pointed out is that Weprin endorsed gay marriage, which is anathema to ultra-Orthodox Jews, and Turner did not.

          My understanding is that what put them over the edge was that Weprin actively campaigned AS Orthodox, WHILE asserting that his support of marriage equality was the morally proper stance to take.

          • http://twitter.com/jbjdjbjd jbjd

            Yes; the Orthodox (D) angle was pivotal.  (For those who don’t know, the difference between the political bent of an Orthodox (D) Jew versus a Reform (D) Jew – in some circles, Reform doesn’t even qualify as being Jewish! – can be likened to the difference between the Tea Party and OFA.)

      And that is their great dilemma.  The Democratic Party has become nothing more and nothing less than the “alter ego” of Barack Hussein Obama.  As he goes so goes the party.  Without him, there is nothing left.  With him, there is nothing left.  This is why a friend of mine who is a Cuban refugee and intellect of the first order will look you in the eye defiantly and say I do not believe in great leaders—I believe in institutions.  But after the Rules and Bylaws committee decision which spit in the face of the party faithful, they have no CREDIBLE institution to fall back on.  The only answer for them is de-Nazification after Obama is crushed in the 2012 election.

    I grew up in Brooklyn and Queens and David Weprin’s father, Saul, was my Assemblyman.

    Larry is right. The White House cannot spin this at all. This was a slam-dunk safe seat for a Democrat.

    The abhorrent treatment of Israel by Obama and his advisors was the story here more than any other issue. After all the different negative treatments by Obama, the upstaging of Netanhayu while he was flying to the U.S. for his address to Congress with the demand that Israel go back to pre-1967 borders, was the tipping point.

    The day after that fiasco Anthony Weiner went public and condemned Obama’s actions. And former Mayor Ed Koch, an Obama supporter, was even more angry in his condemnation of Obama. It was Koch’s support of the Republican Turner that swung the election.

    Obama has already been losing major Jewish support like from Mort Zuckerman and Alan Dershowitz.

    Of course what did not help Weprin in tis election was that sack of garbage Jimmy Carter announcing his support for the U.N. to declare the Palestinans have an independent state.

    It was inevitable that at some point a majority of Jews would recognize that Democrats generally do not support Israel and Republicans generally do.

      I don’t think the Dems can change now.  It’s always easy to sink, but it’s harder to rise.  The meanspiritedness, the callow attempts to put down conservatives and Republicans make us seem like the only adults in the room because we don’t sink to their low level tactics.  People are catching on to that, as well.
      While I don’t watch the 5 o’clock hour on Fox (The Five) because of Bob Beckel, he serves a purpose he just doesn’t understand.  He turns more and more people away from the Democratic party with his nastiness, his insessant cheap shots, low-life comments, interruptions, eyerollings and conversation take-overs.  Keep it up, Bob, you’ll send the Dem party the way of the dinosaurs.

    New York 9: StunningRepudiation of Chuck Schumer

    Washington Examiner, by Michael Barone

    9/14/2011

    Republican Bob Turner has been declared the winner by
    the Associated Press in the New York 9th district special election. With 82% of
    precincts reporting, the latest returns show Turner with 53% of the vote and
    Democrat David Weprin with 46%. Weprin leads narrowly, 51%-48%, in Queens, where
    90% of the precincts have reported; Turner leads 69%-31% in Brooklyn, where 66%
    of the precincts have reported. Thus if the remaining precincts in each borough
    match existing percentages there, Turner will win by a slightly larger margin
    than in current returns.

    • Anonymous

      In the last
      week before the election, outside Democratic groups had spent nearly
      $700,000 boosting Weprin, while Republican and conservative groups spent
      $53,000 to support Turner, a 13-to-1 Democratic advantage.
      Weprin’s own campaign also outraised Turner’s by better than two to one.

        Wow.  This highlights a couple of things:  No matter the 13:1 D expenditure on this race, they just couldn’t buy enough votes.  It looks like a harbinger to 2012′s lack of D voter turnout.  Yup. Yup. Yup.

    The Republican National Committee raised $8.17 million last month,

    The most amazing part of this to me is that over 2/3 of the dims do not want a primary challenge to Obama.  Like I say, the situation requires de-nazification.  Speaking of which some interesting respectful posts at attack watch –the new website set up by Obama to counter vicious lies about him by racists, zeophobics and other counter revolutionaries who cannot stand the fact that we have a black president.

    What would you do if you knew that the top Democrat running for president was lying about his past? 

    That
    is the question I was faced with in 2008.  I had met the young Barack
    Obama while he was a sophomore at Occidental College, and I knew that
    his commitment to socialism was deep, genuine, and longstanding.I
    had been a leader of the Marxist students at Occidental College myself,
    starting in 1976 when I founded the precursor of the Democrat Socialist
    Alliance on campus.  The young Obama I knew was a Marxist socialist who
    would have been quite comfortable with Communist party members like his
    Hawaii mentor Frank Marshall Davis, retired domestic terrorists like
    Bill Ayers, or active socialist politicians like Illinois State Senator
    Alice Palmer.The
    Obama I knew was nothing like the lifelong pragmatic centrist that he
    was pretending to be in the 2008 presidential campaign.  When I talked
    politics with the young Obama, he expressed a profound commitment to
    bringing about a socialist economic system in the U.S. — completely
    divorced from the profit motive — which would occur, in his lifetime,
    through a potentially violent, Communist-style revolution.  In this
    context, I saw my report on young Obama as a key piece of evidence
    suggesting a profound continuity in his belief system. http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/09/even_republicans_rejected_info_about_obamas_past.html

      Did the Republicans really want to win the presidential election of 2008?

    • Cathy in Ks.

      Harp – Thanks for your link.  Had anyone in the media or even the McCain campaign given this man a “hearing”, Obama would never have been president.  What exactly were they afraid of?  I remember reading and being told as a youth we had a “free press” unlike places like the former USSR whose press was controlled by the government.  What’s the difference between our country now and places like the former USSR?

    • Docelder

      A lot of people knew… they would of had to know… we all wondered here why nobody from this guys past was coming out at all? Nobody was in a college class with this guy ever? Nobody knew him in Chicago at all? Did these people not exist? Of course they existed…  It was the concept of a free press that no longer existed… because these people were and are out there. But we still don’t have a free mainstream press… we won’t have the free Internet given enough time with this administration.

    • murray

      I finally figured out what, exactly, has been bothering me about Obama’s “forward-thinking, overcoming-adversity and being the stronger for it,” attitude toward the 9/11 memorials.

      Long story short:  It’s his way of telling America, “Get over it!.”

    NY-9: Oh yes,
    Obama has a Jewish problem

    Washington Post,
    by Jennifer Rubin   
    9/14/2011 

    In the end, it wasn’t even close. In a 58 percent Democratic congressional district, the most Jewish congressional district in the country and one that has not voted for a Republican representative since 1922, Republican political newcomer Bob Turner creamed Democrat David Weprin 54 percent to 46 percent in the special election in New York’s 9th Con-gressional District. Former New York mayor Ed Koch had called the election a referendum on President Obama’s Israel policy. Democratic assemblyman Dov Hikind crossed party lines to endorse Turner and make a point of his dissatisfaction with Obama.

      Obama has had a Jewish problem before the end of his first year in office. It has taken the media this election in New York to finally have to admit to it.

        Obama had a Jewish problem sitting in that “church” with Rev. Wright as a self proclaimed uncle, for 20 years.

        pfft.

      Dov Hikind, for all intents in purposes, IS a Republican.

      He stays with the Democrats because that’s where the special interest money for his community is.

    Damn, I can almost see the headline…

    “Weiner’s seat penetrated by Republican”

  • Anonymous

    While everyone (including the NY Times) will paint this as all about the economy, jobs, voter discontent etc., the truth is all politics are local.

    Pretty simple.  Weprin lost the Orthodox Jewish vote which is heavy in that district and reliably very Democratic.  He lost that vote for two reasons.

    One is the Obama policy towards Israel and the other was Weprin’s support of the gay marriage legislation that recently passed in New York (which I applaud Weprin for).

    And he was not a very good candidate.

      Larry already responded to you above: “Right. Someone has got to tell them that DENIAL ain’t a river in Egypt. They denied the meaning of Republican victories last year in Virginia’s Governor’s race and in Massachusett’s Senatorial campaign. Republicans won both and Dems insisted it meant nothing. Come November 2010 the Republicans open a big old can of whoop ass and the Democrats insist they still enjoy the support of the American people.”

    For someone so interested in human rights, I wonder if Jimmy Carter ever bothered to listen to these Arabs. Carter had the audacity to characterize Israel as an apartheid state. I think the following information actually has it the other way around:
     
     “Palestinian gays and lesbians frequently seek refuge in Israel because of anti-gay persecution in the disputed West Bank territory and the Gaza Strip. The Hamas-controlled Gaza strip, has declared homosexuality punishable by death. Hamas cofounder Mahmoud Zahar has said, “You in the West do not live like human beings. You do not even live like animals. You accept homosexuality. And now you criticize us?”

    I think it is evident who the animals are and Jimmy Carter is in bed with them.

    “..purely reflective of who showed up to the polls and the makeup of the district.”   Gee, thanks Debbie.  Now, what type of elections, other than in places like Iran, are not reflective of “who shows up to the polls and the makeup of the district?”

    Obama’s spinmasters are now covering his (mis)choice of venue for his North Carolina jobs bill lecture (i.e., a company that just doubled its size by building and hiring in Costa Rica) as a “messaging problem.”  Is that like Anthony Weiner having a “texting problem?”

    If they can’t get these seemingly little details sorted out, how the hell are they going to put America back to work?  The best course of action, it would seem, since neither leading or following (leading from behind) are working, would be for them to just get out of the way.

    Listening to Ed Koch on Hannity’s radio show. Sean asked him to comment on Debbie Wasserman-Schultz statement that NY9 was always a tough distirct for Democrats.

    Koch’s immediate reaction was to call her a “dope” and then said, ” making stuff up like that is stupid.”

    He said that unless Obama dramatically changes his position with Israel or he will not vote for Obama.

    • Scottymac54

      Koch did the same thing with David Rockefeller, many years ago.

    • Cathy in Ks.

      Koch calls “her” like he sees “her”.  I admire that!

    • hc123

      Suddenly I love Koch. Wasserman Schultz is a dope and she does make up stupid stuff constantly. It must be so refreshing to be a retired politician who can finally just come out and say it.

      As for Obama saving the Jewish vote, who knows. Jews really seem to like voting D. The upcoming vote in the UN should be interesting and the PLO is really mouthing off so maybe some will see the light.

      Personally I hope Obama stays tone deaf and stupid, the sooner he is out the better.

    The Real Winner In Last Night’s
    Special Election:
    Benjamin Netanyahu

    Business Insider,
    by Grace Wyler   
    9/14/2011

    The GOP is taking a gleeful victory lap after pulling off a special election upset last night in Anthony Weiner’s formerCongressional district, with party officials heralding the win as a referendum on President Obama and a harbinger for 2012. In a district where Democrats outnumber Republicans 3-to-1, GOP newcomer Bob Turner sailed past Democrat David Weprin, 54% to 47%, to take control of a House seat that has been in Democrats’ hands since 1922.

    But the real winner last night was Israel.

    Dissatisfaction with President Obama’s stance toward Israel became a major campaign focus as Turner…..

    Hey Debbie Watercarrier-Schmuck: Democrats outnumber Republicans 3 to 1 in that district. A win by a Republican in this district for the first time since 1923 can only be characterized as a referendum on feckless leader.

    And now we hear from the builders of the Solyndra factory that they new that it wouldn’t be competitive with Chinese slave labor and solar panel production technology even as they were building it.  OMB and Energy knew it, too, but the Veep needed an expedited approval so that he could keep on his speaking schedule.  And just who in the government signed off on the private investors recouping their investments, plus a return, at the expense of the government guarantee (i.e., taxpayer dollars)?  Too bad that those currently occupying the positions responsible for the signoffs weren’t there at the time and don’t remember the names of the people that they replaced.  It’s probably a mystery that will never be solved.

    DoJ should be investigating this, of course, but the Attorney General is too busy covering up Fast and Furious.  Hey, what’s more important, covering your own malfeasance or investigating that of others?  Fortunately, the American people are too stupid to care, so as long as Obama is going to get re-elected anyway because the American people “like” him, what difference does it make?

    The Democrats are nuts. You do not get “the Jewish vote” by running an Orthodox Jew. Most are not Orthodox and don’t identify with the guys in the hats. As my husband says: where did God mandate a weird dress code?
    I’ve been thinking about Steve’s post that Obama’s campaign wants racial riots. I would think that is the LAST thing they would want right now.
