Midknight Review -- new and revised: Obama angers both sides of the political spectrum in the same speech with the same words. And they said it couldn't be done !!

Midknight Review notes that in this chart, we have 42% showing that strongly disapprove of the Mr. Obama's performance while only 24% strongly approve. These numbers will not stay the same, of course, but if the election season were now, this Index roughly measures those who would actually be working for and against this Stranger in our White House.

He has managed to alienate both sides of the political spectrum - something many pundits thought unlikely on Inauguration Day nearly 1 year ago.

He has not come through on his promises to close GITMO, to end the war in Iraq, to get out of Afghanistan by the end of 2011 and to recognize gays in the military. So much for his ties with the Left.

He continues to work for the closing of GITMO, an early end to the war in Afghanistan and he apparently will get around to reversing Clinton's "don't ask don't tell" policy for gays in the military. So much for the Right. That he is able to discourage both sides on these issues is a rather remarkable rhetorical feat -- something that has not been done by a presidential leader in this country for some time. Indeed, the man has a way with words.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
