Not just a failure, but a fraud.
I think that would be a good epitaph for the administration in general.

Mark Whittington continues to foolishly confuse an off-hand off-teleprompter remark with policy. There is now, and never has been any “policy” for us to not return to the moon. Yesterday wasn’t the first time Lori has said we are going back, and it won’t be the last, and the White House doesn’t give a rat’s, either way. Nor will a Romney administration.
From Instapundit:
Advice to Obama: To stiffen your spine, imagine these were Tea Partiers instead of Islamic fundamentalists who hate America and all it stands for.
Democrats never want to “win” wars, only “end” them, except when they’re against domestic enemies.
Some thoughts on the unjustified arrogance of The One. He really is insufferable. Again, I have no idea why people find him “likable.” I never have, except in that one speech in 2004.
Here is a poster child for it. Note that, like the president, she blames everyone but herself.
…and now Clint Eastwood.
Go see the movie for him. Make if one of his biggest hits ever.

I wonder what color the sky is on that planet? I’d fisk it, but I’m trying to finish up my space safety paper, and I’m getting ready to go to the AIAA conference in Pasadena tomorrow (and possibly Wednesday and Thursday, depending on how useful it seems).
…and the Left falls for it. Of course they do.
Hell, I’d be happy if these clowns even had a Plan A, when it came to serious spending and deficit reduction.
Don’t let Operation Demoralize get you down.
It’s still two months until the election, folks, and polls can change dramatically, particularly toward the end, when they know they have to get it right, and stop oversampling Democrats.

Spreading fear and despondency. Don’t fall for it.
Talking about Romney already having lost – what, a week after the nomination? Really? – only makes the libertarians say, “Oh, I won’t soil myself with voting for him, then. I’ll vote for Gary Johnson.” It makes the social conservatives say, “I’ll stay home and pray for the country.” It makes the doom and gloom crowd say, “I won’t vote. I’ll buy ammo and be ready to fight the civil war.”
Yeah, praying and arming yourselves won’t ever hurt (talk of civil war might), but deciding not to vote on the basis of skewed polls and smarmy Journolist spin is just stupid. And amplifying and giving credence to the MSM spin when you KNOW the polls are beyond flawed and that the Justice Department has its jackboots into the pollsters is criminal. Yes, criminal. It’s spreading fear and despondency.
Do you feel scared at times? Do you wonder if we’ve gone too far? Do you wonder if we can’t win? Everyone does. Do you not want to delude yourselves? No one does.
But we already have a disadvantage in not having a dedicated media. MUST you amplify the media? What is the point of fear and despondency but to make our side give up?
The signs are against the polls. The very success of the 2016 documentary is against the polls. The registration momentum is against the polls.
Is America going to go back after Obama because he gave a speech? Oh, for heaven’s sake, even the MSM admitted it wasn’t a good speech. That’s why they played on Clinton extensively.
I live in a red area in the middle of a blue area. Four years ago you couldn’t walk down the street without seeing Obama’s signs everywhere. Now there are two in the entire neighborhood. Are there Romney signs? Well, no. But there aren’t Romney signs at my house either. I have cars and outdoor cats. Vandals always strike Republican signs. It’s who they are. However there are a lot of signs for the local republican candidate to city council. Perhaps I’m stupid in reading these as proxies, but I don’t think so.
They’re not enthusiastic. They’ve got nothing. Nothing except propaganda. Amplifying the propaganda will make them enthusiastic again. It will destroy turnout and interest on our side, too. Is that what you want?
It’s pointless to pay any attention to polls right now. They won’t start to come into line with reality until the last few days before the election.
