Here is the subject of an article I read from Dr. Charles Krauthammer:

____________________________________________________________________

A summary of his comments:

1.  Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual.  He is not to be underestimated. He is a ‘cool customer’ who doesn't show his emotions. It's very hard to know what's ‘behind the mask’.  Taking down the Clinton dynasty from a political neophyte was an amazing accomplishment.  The Clintons still do not understand what hit them.  Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.

2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan & Clinton.  He has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing w/ your position, while doing the opposite.  Pay no attn. to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES!

3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power.  He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, incl. dismantling capitalism.  He can’t be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along.  He has a heavy hand, & wants to ‘level the playing field’ w/ income redistribution & punishment of the achievers of society.  He would like to model the USA20to Great Britain or Canada.

4.  His 3 main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, & NAT’L HEALTHCARE by the Fed. govt.  He doesn't care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus.  The cap & trade will add costs to everything & stifle growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal.  Most scary is healthcare program, because if you make it FREE & add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go thru the roof.  The only way to control costs is w/ massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada.  God forbid.

5.  He’s surrounded himself w/ mostly far-left academic types. No one around him has ever run even a candy store. But they’re going to try & run the auto, financial, banking & other industries. This obviously can’t work in the long run. Obama’s not a socialist; rather a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he does, not what he says.

6.  Obama doesn’t really see himself as President of the USA, more as a ruler over the world.  He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries & their agendas.  He sees moral equivilency in all cultures.  His apology tour in Germany & England was a prime example of how he sees America, as an imperialist20nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors.  This is the 1st President ever who has chastised our allies & appeased our enemies!

7.  He’s now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (& pain) will not ‘come due’ until after he’s reelected in 2012.  He’d like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, & hopefully his successor in the future.  He has a huge ego, & Mr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcicist.

8.  Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong. We’re ‘pining’ for another Reagan, but there’ll never be another like him.  He believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in Feb.) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere & intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts & info if she’s to be a serious candidate in the future. We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller govt., personal responsibility, strong nat’l defense, & states’ rights.

9.  The current level of spending is irresponsible & outrageous. We’re spending trillions that we don’t have. This could lead to hyper inflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid & Pelosi a pass b ecause they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due & people will realize the huge bailouts didn’t work, nor will the stimulus pkg. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama’s allies, unions & the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.

10. The election was over in mid-Sept. when Lehman brothers failed. Fear & panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, & the war was grinding on indefinitely w/o a clear outcome. The people are in pain, & the mantra of ‘change’ caused people to act emotionally. Any Dim would have won this election; it was surprising is was as close as it was.

11.  In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power.  If it's under 8%, the Dims continue to roll.  If it's between 8-10%, it’ll be a dogfight. It’ll all be about the economy.

If he is even 20 % right, we are in for a rough ride...............or worse than that..............inner destruction.................

Events will control him.

I think the paper fails on one major account right off the bat. He is moving to control the financial system and has had a bit of a rough time of it. Once he does achieve that, then he will go after energy.

Other than that, I agree with the paper.

His appointing of the "CZAR's" is interesting too.   They report ONLY to him.

I like Chuck. My wife thinks he looks like Frankenstein's monster but he's never afraid to verbally kick Barry in the nuts.

He nailed it about our "Spender - N - Chief"

Time to go to work, got to make some money...........

link?

link to source?

hopefully the birth cert will come out into the open

Yes, go make more money to get redistributed, commrade.

 

Krauthammer? LMAO Sounds like a good name to use for an operation against the Germans in WWII

i agree with his assessment. But still thats a cool name

Charles is almost always dead on.

Maybe old Chuck should give Barry O a run for his money.

Yep, the Doc always pegs 0-bama correctly.

Well, he isn't an OVERLY handsome man, but pretty is as pretty does.  I've read him for years and generally agree with him.

Just in case you're unaware, Charles Krauthammer became a paraplegic in a diving accident while he was attending Harvard.

He is spot on in his political assessments, he has an excellent recall of history, unlike a lot of other commentators, he's not just stuck in the 'now'. He looks back in history and recalls what brought us to this point and where similar mistakes have been repeated in the past. I don't think you can fit him in the mold of a 'true conservative', I think he is more of a progressive conservative.. One thing is certain, he knows a hell of a lot more about being President than the president himself knows about the job. I've got a lot of repect for his commentary.

Wiki Bio

But can he growl like Frankenstein





Good article but preaching to the choir.  The left doesn't believe a word of this article, maybe one day.

Every time I see Dr. Charles Krauthammer's name, I imagine a muscular, shirtless dude going around and beating the shit out of Nazis with his bare hands and disemboweling them with his fists.

Broc Samson from The Venture Brothers, basically.

Kraut boy is smart but even his gets emotional when he starts thinking about guns.

That is unforgivable.

You mean the Fox News contributor has a negative opinion of the president?  Shocking.

Yeah, that's all Charles Krauthammer is, a "Fox News contributor". Right...

Good post, but using "Sarah Palin" and "boning" in the same sentence makes it Awesome on the post rating scale.

No, not a contributor an real live, actual columnist.  You didn't recognize him because he didn't have Obama's crank in his mouth like the "journalists" you are used to seeing on the other networks.

You mean a bed wedding, booger eating liberal fucktard troll takes a drive by shot at Fox news.  Also, shocking.

As far as links, go to Drudge hit Krauthammer link.Series of Washington post articles is common source.

Charles Kreauthammer pretty much permanently shot his credibility by spending almost all of the last eight years figuring out ways to insist that Bush was a misunderstood genius, that anyone who thought that the neocons were idiots was an anti-semite, that somehow staggering amounts of spending and debt were OK as long as Bush was doing it, that we would be greeted with candy and flowers in Baghdad and be out in six months (yes, he was one of those), and so on.  If Charles Krauthammer said that the sky was blue, at this point I would check.  He sold an amazing career as one of the most intelligent commentators out there for the opportunity to blow Bush.  I wouldn't trust him at this point any farther than I could comfortably spit a rat.

At one point he was very impressive and arguably one of the smartest people writing today.  After eight years of frantic fellation of Bush, I cannot credit him with anything other than party loyalty.  He was wrong about almost everything.

I always thought he was a disembodied head stuck on a far too big suit.  But I do enjoy his opinions.





 

I am at work now.

What I meant was to make ME some more money.  

"F" Obama.

Except the the million monkeys of the Internet have nothing on the million monkeys trading bonds and the bond market will keep Obama in line whether he likes it or not.

Yeah 8 years of Gore/Kerry would have been much better.

He posts and writes for a variety of news organizations, including the Washington Post.....

Like I said, even if he is only 20% right..............

Yep.

He knows his business and he's right, Obama is a narcissist.

Given Bush's legacy –– the real one, not what people like to pretend he did –– I am not sure that there would have been that large a difference and I am positive that conservatives in the Republican Party would not have been marginalized as they were under Bush's "leadership".  I didn't vote for Gore because he was so crooked that he made Clinton look like Truman (everyone forgets about this).  Given how Bush fucked up everything he touched, I am not sure, apart from the flagrant criminality, how much less competent Gore would have been.

As opposed to the other major networks who are fellating the president?

'MAYBE'..................or he may continue to walk between the rain drops.

Krauthammer is a doctor, all right, he's a psychiatrist... when he looks inside Obama's head he knows what he sees.

A very good experienced manager can manage only about five direct reporting relationships.

Except on gun control.  While not necessarily an anti per se, he appears to sympathize with them.

  yep they aint into liberal ass licking like some of the others

Yes I had to read that a few time too.....

A pretty accurate analysis. We are absolutely in the beginning stages of a revolution being led by our President. Some people are calling it a Fascist Revolution, but I happen to think it is a Marxist/Socialist Revolution. Which ever the case, my hope is that the enormous spending being used to propel the revolution will be it's undoing. I happen to believe that this level of spending on top of the enormous debt and economic instability that we already have is unsustainable for very long. I foresee a collapse of the new system in the next 5-10 years.

As has been said.... All well and fucking good, but the people that still support him will always support him.  They would follow him to the showers and ovens with smiles.  All the articles in the world are not going to help.

Not only is Krauthammer awesome, he has the best fucking name ever.

It sounds like a nickname from WW2.

His hardcore supporters on the far left will, but the soft left and "moderate" swing voters are much more fickle. If they start losing their comforts and don't see any relief then I think they'll turn on him politically.
