... HEIGHTENING THE CONTRADICTIONS: “The contrast is no longer between the young, personable, historic candidate Obama and a creaky, cranky old Republican White Guy, it’s between what America thought it was getting in a President Obama (cool, reasonable and beyond partisanship) and what it now sees as the reality of a President Obama (government spending out of control, an uncertain hand on foreign policy, broken promises, more bureaucrats, etc. etc.). Put another way - what we see now is neither what we were promised, nor what we expected.” ...
The Real Obama Doesn't Measure Up to the Promise
Wizbang —
I agree with Mark Tapscott : But the magnetism of his historic moment began fading once the economic stimulus, the omnibus and the budget were on the table. As people focused more on the details and how they didn't square with what they thought he had promised during the campaign, the soaring rhetoric lost much of its power. It may even now be approaching a net negative because it throws so much more light on the inaequacies of the policies. And so the ground has shifted and the essential narrative is changing. Before, supporting Obama was an act of personal and national ...
Is the political terrain shifting under President Obama?
TigerHawk —
Mark Tapscott makes the case that the political terrain is shifting against Barack Obama even as he seems to pile up one victory after another. Tapscott amasses a few anecdotes in support of that view, enough for the hopeless to have hope and for Glenn Reynolds to ...
Obama Is In Trouble
Say Anything —
So says Mark Tapscott in an excellent column.
Here’s a summary of his points:
Rush Limbaugh: The talk radio legend’s audience has exploded since the first of the year. Even before Rahm Emanuel and the rest of Obama’s goons declared war on him he’d already sold more advertising in the first months of this year than he had in all of 2008. Now that they’ve made him public enemy #1, Rush has more attention than ever. And the drip-drip-drip of his daily broadcasts is going to ...
Shifting Ground?
The Mahablog —
At Tapscott’s Copy Desk, DC Examiner, we find “Obama is in trouble.”
Did you feel it? The political ground shifting beneath President Barack Obama since his speech last week to Congress? It’s been downhill since and I’m not referring mainly to the Dow Jones record-setting dive. The pivot point of the shift was the speech, or rather what the speech did to the evolving public narrative of Obama.
The “evolving public narrative,” one learns, is going on entirely on right-wing public radio and Faux ...
Obama already in Trouble?
PoliGazette —
Mark Tapscott - a man I, like most other moderate conservatives, respect tremendously - believes so:

It’s been downhill since and I’m not referring mainly to the Dow Jones record-setting dive.

I would only disagree that the Obama deception represents a clever political strategy. The deception ...

Diminishing The Resistance Against President Obama
The Moderate Voice —
Mark Tapscott at DCExaminer declares that Obama is in trouble. The meat of what he is saying:
* Since the first of the year, Rush Limbaugh’s audience has exploded , according to Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post, even as his daily assaults on Obama have intensified. The conservative Talk Radio maestro has become quite possibly the most listened-to radio personality in America since before Paul Harvey (God rest his soul).
Demand for his air time hs suddenly become so intense, Limbaugh told The Examiner’s Byron York earlier today, that ...

A TIPPING POINT ON OBAMA IN SIGHT?
Right Wing Nut House —
Mark Tapscott thinks so: Did you feel it? The political ground shifting beneath President Barack Obama since his speech last week to Congress? It’s been downhill since and I’m not referring mainly to the Dow Jones record-setting dive. The pivot point of the shift was the speech, or rather what the speech did to the evolving public narrative of Obama. The case Mr. Tapscott tries to make seems a little forced to me – at this point. Here are a few of his bullets: 1. Increased audiences for Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. 2. Some Democrats in Congress bailing on the omnibus spending ...
