Obama and the Trouble With Voting 'Present' Weak and radical, the president looks more like Jimmy Carter all the time. By KARL ROVE When Barack Obama announced he was running for president in February 2007, Nathan Gonzales of the Rothenberg Political Report wrote "Obama's history of voting 'present'" in Springfield, Ill.—even on some of the most controversial and politically explosive issues . . . raises questions . . . Voting 'present' is one of the three options in the Illinois Legislature (along with 'yes' and 'no') but it's almost never an option for the occupant of the Oval Office." Mr. Gonzales's words were prescient. Barack Obama may now be president, but at times he appears to be merely present. That has been the case with his response to the environmental catastrophe unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico. The president was late recognizing the disaster's magnitude, late in visiting the region, late in approving requests by Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, and late in feigning outrage. He has never offered an independent plan to stop the leak. Mr. Obama also seems disinterested in hearing from experts about the spill. The White House's "Deep Water Horizon Response Timeline" doesn't list a single meeting between Mr. Obama and industry experts, though he did send Energy Secretary Steven Chu and others to Houston May 12 to meet with BP and others. .Yet while the president says his Noble Prize-winning energy secretary has been "examining every contingency," Mr. Chu was clueless about BP's plans to install a cap over the well to funnel oil to a vessel on the surface. As the New York Times reported last Saturday, "After the cap was successfully placed, Mr. Chu wondered aloud why oil was still spewing." BP engineers had to explain that oil was still coming from vents that "would be closed very slowly to ensure that mounting pressure would not force the cap off." Even now, Mr. Obama looks like a spectator, albeit an angry one, barking at White House aides to "plug the damn hole" (now that's a good idea no one has thought of) and telling NBC's Matt Lauer he's in search of an "ass to kick." But the main political behind that's being kicked is Mr. Obama's. The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll says Americans give the federal government a 69% negative rating for its handling of the spill, compared to a 62% negative rating for Washington's handling of Katrina in August 2005. This pattern of being merely present has been apparent almost since the first days of the Obama presidency. He may unveil his mighty teleprompter to help pass what Congress has drafted, but this White House seems strangely disconnected from crafting legislation. .For example, last year's stimulus was largely drafted by House Appropriations Chairman David Obey of Wisconsin, one of Congress's most liberal members. As a result, what passed was a wasteful spending bill rather than an economic growth package. And faced with a growing mountain of debt, Mr. Obama passed the issue off to an ineffectual commission whose report is due after the election. After growing the size of the federal government by a quarter in just over a year, he now says he'd like agencies to try to find 5% cuts in their budgets. .On other controversies—the attempt of high-ranking aides to entice candidates not to challenge incumbent Democratic senators, the details of cap-and-trade legislation, the resolution of big conflicts between the House and Senate versions of financial regulation, and the drafting of comprehensive immigration reform—Mr. Obama appears to be removed, distant and detached, unwilling or unable to provide the adult supervision Washington requires. The result is that he receives a 38% approval and 52% disapproval rating on his handling of the economy in the latest Economist/YouGov poll. The GOP enjoys a nine-point lead over Democrats in Rasmussen's latest generic ballot. This is causing the public to revisit concerns it's had about Mr. Obama since he clinched the Democratic nomination in March 2008. Then the ABC/Washington Post Poll reported that 46% of Americans found him too "inexperienced" to be an effective president, the highest number ever for a major party presidential nominee. In October, just before the election, ABC/Washington Post asked the question again: 44% called Mr. Obama too inexperienced. On issue after issue, Mr. Obama is providing plenty of evidence to validate those concerns. Americans might hope the president's diffidence when it comes to the hard work of government might mitigate his more extreme liberal tendencies. No such luck. Mr. Obama is an odd mixture of passivity and radicalism. He's happy to be a cheerleader for policies (like nationalizing health care) that many Americans find dangerously liberal. The country has had another president both weak and radical at the same time: Jimmy Carter. Mr. Rove, the former senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to President George W. Bush, is the author of "Courage and Consequence" (Threshold Editions, 2010).

October 24, 2006: And then of course, there are his math skills in evaluating a two-person race: Being a Republican means you get to choose your own reality.
This is causing the public to revisit concerns it's had about Mr. Obama since he clinched the Democratic nomination in March 2008. The question for this administration is what do they do about this? If this trend continues, its not just a landslide for the GOP in November. Its a one term failed Presidency. Clinton knew better than this. So did Reagan.
Just 10 days prior to the explosion, the Obama administration’s regulators gave the oil rig a pass, and last year the Obama administration granted BP a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) exemption for its drilling operation.
Hilarious that they want Boy Blunder to be held blameless while accusing Obama of going down JC Blvd...

The irony is the fact nobody gives a damn about Bush at this point. Least of all posters like me. He's been out of office going on 17 months. I'm more worried about 17 months FROM NOW.

Do about what? the approval rating? Is Rove really telling others they should worry about approval ratings? Hey, even in this poll his approval rating is still better than Gov. Christie in NJ.
Being a Republican means you get to choose your own reality.
The unpopular Carter was right about energy while the ever popular Reagan trashed his policies that would have put us in an energy independent position.

Iran brought Carter down, not his domestic policies. That's why so many on the internet are trying the same tactic and comparisons (as if Google hits makes an issue legitimate). They just can't get over the millions of hits on "Bush is a miserable failure" and are trying to copycat spam. Their biggest problem is they think Sarah is another Reagan. Well, I do believe she would like to be an actress...

'The worlds oil reserves will be depleted by the year 2000.' Jimmy Carter, late 1970's No, he like Gore, just made things up on this topic.

Jimmy Carter, late 1970's All he had was the technology of the time to give him data and we had just gone through a huge oil crisis and shortages in '73. Plus the whole theory of the creation of the planet has changed since then. Time and learning marches on.

The easy stuff is gone. Here's what Carter said: "Collectively, nothing could be more important than this question of energy," Carter said during a rare presidential appearance before a congressional committee. "I would guess that our entire status as a leading nation in the world will depend on the role that we play in energy and environment in the future." Carter, who in 1977 famously declared the fight for energy independence to be "the moral equivalent of war," told members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that reaching that goal is crucial to ending the country's "vulnerability to possible pressures and blackmail." Right now, he noted, "whether we admit it or not, we are very careful not to aggravate our major oil suppliers."
What he ACTUALLY said: World consumption of oil is still going up. If it were possible to keep it rising during the 1970s and 1980s by 5 percent a year as it has in the past, we could use up all the proven reserves of oil in the entire world by the end of the next decade. ~~~~~ He was off by two years...the amount of proven reserves on the day of his speech WERE used up by 1992. Here were are 33 years after Carter's election having the same debate.

Badeye posted on 2010-01-14 16:12:48 ET Reply Trace Sure it did as the data was coming directly from the oil companies. I don't have to look it up.... I had relatives and friends working in the field at the time. A good friend 92 years old just died, he retired from his oil prospector job during Ford as he was convinced that there would be little more oil to obtain in the future. He became a physics instructor at the local college trying to interest students in alternative energy engineering careers and retired at the age of 78.

Bush called him "the architect" of his reelection victory and he has been the president's chief strategist from the beginning. But Karl Rove is much more than a political guru, he is the single most powerful policy advisor in the White House. Frontline and The Washington Post joined forces to trace the political history and modus operandi of the man who has been on the inside of every political and policy decision of the Bush administration, including the current battles on Social Security, taxes, and tort reform. For Rove -- observers say -- enactment of the Bush agenda is a way to win the biggest prize of all: a permanent Republican majority.

Foul enough of the planet, and I guess we won't have to worry about our kids running out of oil.
Whooooops.

No. Should I be expecting that?
As I pointed out Carter referred to depleting the then present day PROVEN reserves. His prediction was fairly accurate.

Not at all. Companies drill for oil in deep water for 2 reasons: 1) There is plenty of oil there. 2) Coastal drilling has been curtailed.

Many of those same oil deposits can be reached from coastal waters so why has drilling in them been curtailed?

KARL ROVE
Washington, D.C.; October 24, 2006 - Karl Rove, White House Deputy Chief of Staff and President Bush's chief strategist, says he doesn't believe the public polls that claim the Republicans are likely to lose the House and possibly the Senate on Election Day. Rather, he explains in an interview with Robert Siegel airing today on NPR's All Things Considered today, he's looking at other polls that combined with the Republicans large financial advantage over the Democrats, could point to a Republican victory.

The result is that he receives a 38% approval and 52% disapproval rating on his handling of the economy in the latest Economist/YouGov poll. The GOP enjoys a nine-point lead over Democrats in Rasmussen's latest generic ballot.
