The end of the road for Barack Obama?

[Xenophon]

Choice quotes:

The descent of Barack Obama's regime, characterised now by factionalism in the Democratic Party and talk of his being set to emulate Jimmy Carter as a one-term president, has been swift and precipitate. It was just 16 months ago that weeping men and women celebrated his victory over John McCain in the American presidential election. If they weep now, a year and six weeks into his rule, it is for different reasons.

One senior black politician – a Democrat and a supporter of the President – told me of the wrath in his community that a black president appeared to be unable to solve the economic problem among his own people. Cities in the east such as Newark and Baltimore now have drug-dealing as their principal commercial activity: The Wire is only just fictional.

For a land without a welfare state, America starts to do an effective impersonation of a country with one. This massive state spending gives rise to accusations by Republicans, and people too angry even to be Republicans, that America is now controlled by "Leftists" and being turned into a socialist state.

Mr Obama benefited in his campaign from an idiotic level of idolatry, in which most of the media participated with an astonishing suspension of cynicism. The sound of the squealing of brakes is now audible all over the American press; but the attack is being directed not at the leader himself, but at those around him. There was much unconditional love a year or so ago of Rahm Emanuel, Mr Obama's Chief of Staff; oleaginous profiles of this Chicago political hack, a veteran of that unlovely team that polluted the Clinton White House, appeared in otherwise respectable journals, praising the combination of his religious devotion, his family-man image, his ruthless operating technique and his command of the vocabulary of profanity. Now, supporters of the President are blaming Mr Emanuel for the failure of the Obama project, not least for his inability to construct a deal on health care.

The same folks who thought that Obama was gonna pay their car and house notes? lol

For a guy who ran on bringing the folks together, both in an American and political sense, he certainly has done a great job at dividing us.

 

[blastoff]

Certainly not the end of the road yet but it's getting a lot rockier by the day.

Like a lot of others I thought the community organizer's lack of experience would be a tough handicap for him, but it's been far worse than imagined for me. Inexperience and narcissism is proving to be a real bad combination, but it's a beautiful thing to behold.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Probably a little early to declare the end. We'll know more by the end of this year on what the voters think of his Socialist agenda. Give it a little more time and then we'll know more.

a senior democrat told me that simon heffer writes tripe that is swallowed by ODS victims.

It appears Barry is a dissapointment all over.

Now now, be kind, he is bringing them together...against himself.

I never cared that he was in love with himself, the issue for me was always how much money he intended to spend that we didn't have.

The answer it turned out was 'unending'.

Obama is self-imploding. I'm convinced he will be voted out in 2012.

 

[Granny]

The end for Obama? We should be so lucky.

 

[Terry]

Obama has always been the puppet, who is holding the strings remains debatable. Once Obama cannot move forward the puppet masters agenda he will also be thrown under the bus. Perhaps we are starting to see this take place.

Surprise Surprise. An ability to run a slick campaign complete with Logos and Styrofoam columns doesn't translate in the ability to govern.

I wonder if they sit around talking about who or what to blame. I hear someone shouting out, it was the damn teleprompter. lol

 

[boedicca]

I'm 100% confident that the White House is a maelstrom of teeth gnashing, histrionics, incriminations, blame-throwing, ass-covering, and just plain general nastiness.

It's great. They deserve it.

 

[Tom Clancy]

Too early to tell..

But I still think he's a 1 Term President..

Unless we run Sarah Palin.. then he's a 2 term president.

Your so right.

Being the POTUS is way, way harder than wanting to be POTUS.

The dummies of America elected someone with no experience whatsoever to be the Prez. Barry boy has been finding out that most Americans think his agenda sucks. They aren't interested in spreading their wealth and are definetly not interested in the Govt controlling their healthcare. Eloquent speeches and charm will only get you so far.

Much easier to run for POTUS than actually be POTUS. Welcome to the real world there BO.

I've come to the conclusion that Obama never really wanted to be President, he really wants to be a Monarch. His preference is for ceremonial duties, not the hands on tough job of leadership.
