The Empty Chair Accepts His Nomination
Barack Obama is no Barack Obama. When it has been shown there is nothing there — repeatedly and in a fashion that all but the most devoted minions refuse to see — it becomes difficult to ignore. This is not the same man who ran for President in 2008. He was an illusion then, but today, Americans have no illusions. “Hope and change” has become “what the hell happened?”
There has been much talk in the press about Clint Eastwood’s performance last week at the Republican National Convention, but the honest among them have to admit that the empty chair was a perfect metaphor for Barack Obama — because there really is not much there.
Politicians are renowned for their ability to talk and talk and talk — all without saying much. Yet, wasn’t this one supposed to be different? Wasn’t he by now, supposed to have amassed a record of accomplishment that would put mere mortals to shame? Weren’t we readying Mount Rushmore for the man?
In another era, someone might have asked. “Where’s the beef?” Nowadays, the only beef as far as Barack is concerned is the Wagyu steaks he has flown in for parties at the Whitehouse.
He can’t talk about accomplishments, because he has none. Sure, he passed the Stimulus and Obamacare and Dodd Frank, but it is hard to sell any of this as success when it is all hugely unpopular and terrible policy. To most Americans, it doesn’t compute.

Great article !
“Because if you vote Barack, you should never have to go back…”

Chuck U. I don’t believe he is leading. The media wants that out there. They are his watercarriers. I believe it will be a landslide Romney/Ryan victory. If I am wrong? Then fuckit. I’m seventy. If the young pups can’t see through this faker and his socialist followers and advisers, then they deserve
what they are going to get 30 years from now. Meanwhile, by that time I’ll be in Heaven fuckin’ around with a few old guys and gals from IOTW.
We’ll have a great time,I assure you.
“Hey Doc, how the hell did you get in here?”
“Through the kitchen, Moe, they threw me out of hell, my coldness was causing condensation, and Kennedy and Hitler bitched because they couldn’t watch TV, so here I am.”
“Pull up a chair brother, here have a beer.”
“Beer? You got beer here? wow.
“Yeah sure, Peter don’t mind long as you don’t create any trouble.”
” Oh Doc whadda think of that Obama revolution back there in 2012″
PETER. MOE TOM you mention that name again and you’re outta here. You here?

Don’t lose focus. The polls are rigged, just like they were before the last several elections.
My own commie-lib Mother just told me she can’t vote for Obama, and she can’t vote for Romney. So she’s sitting this one out. GOOD! And there are a LOT more like her.
Think of all the similar stories we’ve heard. And all the professions of converts, who have admitted their mistake, and won’t repeat it.
The only poll that matters is on election day.
Mrs.Gates and I saw 2016 today. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s a must.

If the chair wasn’t Photoshopped® into that picture, the aircraft’s identifying markings wisely were Photoshopped® out.
Hell hath no fury like Obama scorned.

In 1980 Gallup had Carter 4 points up on Reagan:
