America is suddenly angry at the laxity, incompetence, and polarizing politics of the Obama administration, the bad optics of the president putting about in his bright golf clothes while the world burns. Certainly, no recent president has failed on so many fronts

‘Obama promised to halve the deficit not run up more red ink than almost all prior presidents combined.’
Lets be honest here. Barry has failed at almost everything he’s decided to touch and he should own most of it alone. The deficit, however, isn’t his only. The Congress owns the lions share of this esp. the Republican’s who pretend to be the opposition. The Congress by law has the purse strings.
So, if 2008 was a “perfect storm” does 2012 mean we’ve passed the tipping point?
“(Americans) have been taught...to believe fantasies and illusions are real”
So true. Reminds me of II Thessalonians 2:11
Indeed. Much like the island of Guam, we tipped and capsized, with many casualties.
RE: does 2012 mean weve passed the tipping point?
I don’t want to think so, but I’m afraid it might be true.
More than half of America now depend on government:

It’ll be very tough.

Only an act of terror, I fear
Romney was the problem that killed 2008 and 2012, the Reagan hating, most radical liberal that has ever been a major player in GOP presidential politics had only won a single election in his life, and had only returned to the GOP in October of 1993, after supporting democrats, and fundraising and voting as a democrat, and fund raising for Planned Parenthood.
Since his own polling showed he wasn’t going to win reelection as governor, an office he left with 34% approval, he set out to become president and announced that he was the 800 pound gorilla with all the money, which kept out any substantive challengers and left us with nobodies, as it was, Romney spent 50 million dollars of his own money, had all the big donors, a massive organization, and still lost to two guys without campaign funds, or organization.
The proof of Romney was in 2012, in an election that republicans couldn’t lose, Romney/Ryan, somehow pulled it off, that far trumps losing in the 2008 election that was almost impossible for the GOP to win in a perfect storm of recession, 8 years of Bush, and the first black president.
Romney had one job. To block a conservative from getting the GOP nomination.
Even after 9/11, you only got a semblance of enlightenment out of the left, and with some, not even that.
They quickly became “ununited” with the sane Americans when Bush actually took action in response to the attack.
Great piece.
The only thing that gave us Obama was low informed and stupid people who took the BS bait hook line and sinker.

I hasten to remind everyone that they were the voting MAJORITY
in 2008 AND 2012.
RE: After all, how much damage can he do in four years?
Make that eight years.
MORE THAN ENOUGH.
Just look at our courts. His legacy will last LONG after he’s gone.
And yet, the American people voted for him. Twice. I hope we’ve learned our lesson, but I doubt it.
It’s the 47% issue IMO.
You’re probably right.
No argument here. I’m prepping like never before. How about u
