The KGB Oracle Forums General Public Discussion (SPECIAL ACCESS) KGB Political Debate Central Threatening Generals now for political gain...

LightSquared, based in Virginia, is funded by the multi-millionaire Philip Falcone, a frequent donor to Democrats. The satellite and broadband communications company plans to build a nationwide, 4G phone network that many generals believe would seriously hinder the effectiveness of high-precision GPS receiver systems used by the military.

James Carville, the veteran Democratic consultant who managed Bill Clinton's successful 1992 presidential election campaign, said his advice to Mr Obama after the party's loss of a previously safe congressional seat in New York be summed up in one word: panic.
He added that Mr Obama should "fire" someone. "No – fire a lot of people. This may be news to you but this is not going well. For precedent, see Russian Army 64th division at Stalingrad.
"Mr President, your hinge of fate must turn. Bill Clinton fired many people in 1994 and took a lot of heat for it. Reagan fired most of his campaign staff in 1980. Republicans historically fired their own speaker, Newt Gingrich.
"Bush fired Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. For God's sake, why are we still looking at the same political and economic advisers that got us into this mess? It's not working."

Obama's job approval on the economy and unemployment remaining above 9% isn't helping him. Unless the economy takes a drastic turn for the better, and unemployment drops a couple percentage points, he's probably not going to win. Hell... even a seat democrats held for 80+ years was lost.

James Carville hit the nail on the head. He's going to have to change personel in his camp before he can hope for a turnaround. If he wants to start on a positive, he needs to think about implementing a new tax system. Who are we kidding though, he's not going to do that. It's to easy to throw shit on the current shit system.

Interesting how you quote James Carville when he says something you like, but if he said something you didn't, you would call him a socialist and communist.

We will see soon enough.

Unless you guys come up with a more reasonable candidate, Obama has a good chance for reelection.

He is a socialist and a communist, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I would not underestimate Obama though, its way to early. He is a clever guy with a lot of natural charisma, he could turn things around on a dime pretty quick.

In fact, I would say he is content to have low numbers right now... it makes him look that much better when he starts presenting a better image.

Thats what his new class warfare initiative is about, re-energizing the extreme leftist base. But if he re-enrgizes the socialists now, then he can appear to move to the center and look like the compromiser in 2012. He obviously knows the GOP wont cave. If they reach a favorable compromise somehow, then he can pitch himself to the centrists again. If not, which is likely... he can jockey to blame the GOP.

The economy is really all that makes him defeatable, that and Obamacare. If it wasnt for Obamacare he would probably get re-elected even with a shitty economy. But hate for Obamacare has managed to supplant hate for Bush. If it wasnt for Obamacare and Obamas general crusade to destroy middle America, he would be unbeatable.
