Well, at least he didn’t blame it all on the Jews.

Sorry: it’s just after years of joking about being a minion of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, seeing the President of the United States play that card – in all seriousness – is kind of bemusing.

Obama: GOP conspiracy out to kill health reform

President Obama took to the conservative airwaves Thursday to charge that Republican leaders are engaged in a vast right-wing conspiracy to kill health care reform in order to repeat the 1994 mid-term takeover of Congress, which followed the defeat of President Clinton’s reform plan.

“I think early on, a decision was made by the Republican leadership that said, ‘Look, let’s not give him a victory, maybe we can have a replay of 1993, ’94, when Clinton came in, he failed on health care and then we won in the mid-term elections and we got the majority. And I think there are some folks who are taking a page out that playbook,” the president said.

I suppose that we look very big and scary from the outside, Mr. President, but I assure you: there’s nothing to fear, here. After all, they let me be part of the VRWC, and as several of my readers on Moe Lane can personally attest, I am among the mildest and most inoffensive of men. It’s a very odd conspiracy that would let me have any sort of role in it, let me tell you! I mean, I don’t even get paid for this. So you don’t have to be frightened of me.

No, what you should be frightened of, Mr. President, is that Zogby’s going to have you clocked in at a 45% approval rating tomorrow morning.  And this after three weeks or so of having your minions call us every name in the book – at least, the ones not screaming about your backroom deal with PhRMA.  So, by all means: keep on doing everything that you’re doing, just like this.

Much obliged!

    He has an overwhelming majority in the House, and a filibuster-proof 60 votes in the Senate. As a result, and to paraphrase, they are the problem they have been looking for.

    Just pass the thing, Barack. Do you feel lucky? Well….do ya?

    If the president succeeds in imposing ObamaCare, it will be a Pyrrhic victory. All those Americans held in such contempt by the liberal establishment will be at the polls next year and in 2012. They?ll remember how they were disrespected and ignored. And Obama & Co. will have no one to blame but themselves for ignoring a lesson of the Carter years.

    of communique, the Moe Tone.

    You beat New Tone all to heck. And while I’m at it, JLeanard is the MoTown Tone, and Ace is The Texas Tone, and…

  • Ninetales

    didn’t take him long enough to blame the epic failure on a “vast right-wing conspiracy.” I was beginning to wonder when thgey would play that card.

  • konstantine

    to the Clinton administration are we going to see with Obama, I wonder. Attempting to take over the US health care industry. (And hopefully failing, just like the Clintons did.) Lamenting of a vast, right wing conspiracy … as Hillary has done before.

    Have there been any others that I haven’t noticed so far? I do hope that Obama might have more in common with Carter, and only have one term, and not stay eight years in office as Clinton had.

    Obama engineered the deficit debacle.

  • djemi

    This Newsmax.com piece is a blast

    Of greatest concern to Obama may well be his decline among all-important independent voters. Just 37.5 percent of self-identified independents say they approve of how Obama is handling the presidency. That compares with 59.2 percent of independents who disapprove?

    Via Allahpundit and the Politico thats also pointed out is a luagh as well. Tottally agree about ‘ keep on doing everything that you?re doing’

  • redneck_hippie

    overall and indie job approval.

    Me thinks the trend is our friend.

  • djemi

    I like it, made me smile and all.

  • redneck_hippie
  • djemi

    Asked whether they approve or disapprove of the president’s job performance, just 45.3 percent of likely voters say they approve. That compares with 50.5 percent who disapprove of the job Obama is doing

    The trends that I’ve being seeing are downward, only the Dems seem to be holding his numders up and if this is true Foreclosures expected to peak at end of 2010 well lookout.

    When inflation kicks in, people might start looking back on the Carter years with envy.

    per Foxnews:

    If we include the normally counted number of unemployed as well as those who have recently given up looking for work and those who have taken a part-time low paying job because they can’t find full-time work, the implication is that the unemployment rate for July would be at 16.3 percent These discouraged workers will again look for work once the economy starts to improve, but this 6.9 percentage point gap between publicly discussed unemployment rate and these discouraged workers is unusually large.

    Well, here is at least one Democrat who will never vote of Obama again. He had me convinced he was cross between JFK and Bill Clinton. He in only a Leftist, Socialist, and a disgrace for our Country.

    Nothing worse than losing members of your own party. Now we need to pick them up and keep them.

  • oklahomajon

    Vast Right conspiricy again what they expect .There is also a vast left wing conspirarcy to ram this thing thur and the only thing that stands beteewn is the American people what ive seen most of stand opposeing it good yall

  • IJB

    So, of course, I hope he keeps on pushing it! :)

    But it won’t take any clued-in Independents very long to figure out that the Dems have overwhelming majorities in Congress, so it can’t be the Republicans who are to blame for what’s happening/going wrong.

    But, by all means, Barry – keep it up!!

    And, Barry? – Around Christmas time, don’t forget to give a ‘malaise’ speech, blaming the American people for your “agenda” failing to be enacted. That one should go over real well too… ;)

    I would expect phrases like ‘Obama takes to the conservative airwaves’ to be written by a White House press officer or campaign manager. Smerconish reportedly voted for Obama and has no cred as a conservative. Second, it is amazing how obsessed the left still is with the relatively tiny world of talk radio. Compared to the reach of all the tv networks, newpapers, magazines, ABC Radio Network News twice an hour, etc., talk radio is almost non-existent.

  • illinois

    Yup—he brought up Palin’s intro a year ago—and was poking fun at the repub vp choice and buzz last year and said people were saying Obama was done. So his point was that he’s doing just swell now. Hello McFly??? Take a look at your sinking poll numbers and your former supporters dissing you! This guy lives in his own fan club. He still clings to his “overwhelming win” last november. He’s so power thirsty—-he’ll stay in denial and try to keep ramming his marxist socialist stuff thru while bullying and intimidating any who dare to stand up to them—-like the health ins co’s. Any of those Dem’s that follow him blindly—–will indeed go over the cliff next november. Halleluja!!!! If those dopes get this healthcare rammed thru—-since it’s not going into effect for a while—–will the repubs be able to repeal it along with the stimulus and bailouts??? I sure hope so!

    And back to Sarah last year—–remember when she said after the foam greek columns are taken down and hauled away—-and crowd dispersed—where’s obummer? She was right!! He’s like a helium balloon deflating and going down—-swirling and out of control! That’s what we’re watching!

  • smitch61

    I cannot keep up with the hypocicy and the lies he tells on a daily basis. He truly sounds like an idiot, and I know he is not that..

  • antisocial

    People have lost their moral compass. All this misinformation…. Where is Rev Wright? I am having to talk about morality…. I know George still lives in a hut…. Is that what I get after 20 years of listening to his garbage….. I have been smoking a lot…. Hey Gibbs get me a light…. I am all wee weed up….

    Don’t get fooled by this Moe guy… He calls himself evil giraffe. And he calls himself polite….Now he admitted he is a part of VRWC…. He has a site just for bashing me…. Its not about me…..

    I am all wee weed up…. Hey Gibbs where’s my energy stick???

    Somewhere I saw where our buddy Gibbs was dubbed “Baghdad Bob Gibbs” and he surely does live up to Sadam’s spinmeister. Remember when somebody even created a website for Baghdad Bob. Well, somebody has to do the same for our buddy Gibbs. What a piece of work! Last week I caught a little of Baghdad Bob Gibbs and the state run media—-and they were so grief stricken, tactful and oh so diplomatic while trying to gently ask him about the whitehouse’s fishy info adventure. Or, for that matter, that Burton bozo. What morons! But then look who they’re spiinning for! Good old Barry!

  • DavidS1787

    The Minister of disinformation and Bill burton is the Minister of spin!!!!!!!!!!!

  • http://www.suvstrategery.blogspot.com SoFiMil

    As Bagdad Bob was also known as Comical Ali, Bob Gibbs could easily join the act and adopt the pseudonym Comical Glib-ly.

    Actually, there’s not much difference between Bob Gibbs and his boss. Without a teleprompter, each is a train wreck. You could also just as easily add the Vice President into the mix as well.

  • Ninetales

    he might actually try it.

  • illinois

    He was here in Chicago today……what a bozo. Gives away his secret hiding place. Three stooges: Biden, Gibbs & Burton. More fun then a barrel of monkeys. And then of course is the top of the top clown. USA’s loss is our Illinoisssss gain when Barry did his bait and switch!!!! Hook, line and sinker!

  • devCharles

    Is anyone else psyched to see the approval ratings drop below 50? It just pleases me to see the administration being hit with the “reality” stick. That pushing trillions in spending is not cool. That all of his legislative ideas were not what Americans considered the good kind of change.

    I suppose there’s something about watching this messianic figure get taken down a couple pegs. The realization that he’s just a man (albeit one with a great law education,) and that these issues are so complex that a bunch of buzz words and smart iconography isn’t going to fix things, makes me smile. I really hope that it’ll make the next politician who seems more style than substance that comes along will get scrutinized far more vociferously than Obama was.

  • djemi

    Then there is this WaPo poll

  • WarEagle01

    Smerconish is in the same RINO camp as Frum, Parker, and Gerson. “ooh, ooh, look at me Mithter Prethident, I’m a nithe Republican.”

    Maybe this is what “the mildest and most inoffensive of men” does in his spare time. Probabay find his tags all over Buckhead if I looked.

    *But* we can’t pop the cork yet. Obama and the Dems are going to do everything they can to push this thing through….and Moe’s right, I hope they keep going *just the way they are*, with Obama getting on TV day after day and stacking lie after lie and gross accusations towards those of us who oppose him.

    If they do that and the GOP holds their ground, then I’m willing to bet it’ll be Christmas morning for us come 2010.

    And that’s what scares me. Because, despite what Obama, Axelrod, and “Baghdad Bob Gibbs” are saying, they *know* the American people don’t want this atrocity. BHO can’t retreat on it, so the best they can hope to do is pull some Rs in with them to make it a ‘bipartisan’ debacle. I heard on the radio that they’re talking about splitting the bill and voting separately, one part with just D support and one part to get both Rs and Ds. If that doesn’t happen, they’ll obfuscate the most distasteful parts of the plan to make it look like some sort of win for our side, when in reality it’ll be a backdoor to what they want.

    If the GOP signs on with ANY bill coming from this crowd, it will undo everything the American people are doing.

    And we all know that there are some Rs in congress who would be more than happy with their 30 pieces of silver.
