Message to GOP – Hold the line ! Message to Tea Party Freshman Patriots – “Hold The GOP” !

*Note this picture is from TODAY.  Note what has replaced the “Halo” – It’s subtle, but if the media did not notice Stompy Feet was a pontificating whiner, it would not be allowed.  US President Barack Obama speaks about hurricane preparedness as well as the budget showdown with Congress on October 7, 2013, on the seventh day of the government shutdown (AFP Photo/Saul Loeb)

In the politicized back and forth, that has become the new normal, you must review each subtle movement through the prism of ‘narrative risk management’.   As the New York Times now weighs in “This is most closed, control-freak administration I’ve ever covered,”… (link)   This is a brutal recognition of Dear Leader, Valerie Jarrett and Denis McDonough.
Internal White House polling must be giving them fits right now. The American People are not losing resolve; in fact, just the opposite is true, more and more people are joining a growing group awakening to the reality of how destructive Obamacare is, and just WHAT the reason is for this fight.   THIS is from a moonbat in Californiastan:

“I was laughing at Boehner — until the mail came today,”  […]   “I really don’t like the Republican tactics, but at least now I can understand why they are so pissed about this. When you take $10,000 out of my family’s pocket each year, that’s otherwise disposable income or retirement savings that will not be going into our local economy.” […]  “Of course, I want people to have health care,” Vinson said. “I just didn’t realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally.”   (link)

NPR, the liberal basement for all media pontifications, tells it’s reports to back off using the term Obamacare?  If Obamacare was so dreamy, that would never happen.  No, what’s happening is Obamacare has become a risk.   Within that “risk” is the future of all left-wing liberalism.
And even more telling is this.  Stompy Feet moves to put himself on the outside of the issue(s), trying to give himself some distance from the inherent risk:

President Obama has handed over the reins of leadership on government funding and the debt limit to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
Reid is now fully in charge of his party’s negotiating strategy, a significant change from past showdowns with Republicans.  (link)

Then Harry Reid goes on the Senate Floor and cracks, twitches, flinches about ‘civility’?

[…]  “We are willing to negotiate,” he said. “But we won’t negotiate with a gun to our heads. We say to our Republican colleagues: End this irresponsible government shutdown. Stop your reckless threats of a default on the nation’s obligations. Then Democrats will negotiate over anything our Republican colleagues want.”  (link)

Then there’s this Stompy Feet jedi mind trick, double switch, reversal (aka rigid distancing to avoid risk and reposition)….

[…]  President Obama said Monday he is “eager and ready” to negotiate with Republicans on the budget and other issues, but not until the House GOP votes to re-open the government and increase the debt ceiling.
“I’m happy to talk to Republicans about anything,” Obama said during a visit to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where he took his campaign against the shutdown now in its seventh day.  (link)

The bottom line is the  Administration is on the wrong side of the American people, and as each day passes they are more and more isolated.   As each day passes the ridicule cuts them deeper and deeper, and the defenders grow fewer and fewer…..
Hold The Line !
