The Insiders: Is there a mutiny brewing around Obama?
The Washigton Post ^ | September 13, 2014 | Ed Rogers

Posted on 09/14/2014 5:49:28 PM PDT by right-wing agnostic

Is a mutiny happening around President Obama? It appears possible that the president may not have made two of his most recent decisions with complete free will. The announcement that he would delay his immigration initiative until after the election and his formal announcement that the United States would take military action against the Islamic State could have been coerced.

Maybe Democratic leaders in Congress and a few members of the Obama team have had it. Could it be that, after President Obama briefed Democrats in Congress on the immigration plan, they balked? Maybe the president was told that, if he waved in millions of new illegal immigrants before November, there would be an open revolt against him within the party.

Similarly, a few members of this administration who have independence, stature and an adult disposition may have told the president he must act on the Islamic State or else they were out. I’m thinking of at least Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. Is it possible they could not stomach doing nothing any longer and told the president that they would quit in protest if he did not take action?

I think it was more like “look MFER, all of us had a meeting with Boehner in the middle of the 14th Fairway, a 500 yarder and there was NO ONE around!”

“Guess what Barry, we promised him 100 impeachment votes of democrats if you don’t:

1. stay off the friggin golf course (cut in half)
2. listen to your Generals and “obey” them (u idiot!!!)
3. this ain’t gonna take 3 years so cut that BS out!
4. Stay off the air every single day (cut in half)
5. Forget about amnesty for 7 million
6. Quit flying around on Air Force One every day (cut it in half)

If you do all the foregoing, we can reduce our losses in 6 weeks! (u fn idiot!)

Something like that!

No. They are flaming liberals and lickspittles of the highest order. You would have to drag them kicking and screaming from their unearned offices.

If he forces amnesty before the election, it’s a plus for the GOP, and he has even more risk of losing the senate.

If he waits, and he loses the senate, he risks not being able to do it at all. But if the rats somehow hold the senate, he can do it. And it will be 2 more years before the rats pay the price.

Watch the eyes, they tell the story. During that ISIS speech he had a very resentful look in his eyes. Not resentful toward his muslim friends, resentful that someone made him say those words.

Remembering Nixon, we the public didn’t know it at the time, but it was the Party bigwigs that went to him and told him it was over, resign or face a likely impeachment..

“It appears possible that the president may not have made two of his most recent decisions with complete free will.”

Obama is an ideological vessel that receives his marching orders from President Jarrett.

When John Effin' Kerry and Chuck (D'oh) Hagel become the standards for "independence, stature and an adult disposition", you know the Left is in deep trouble.

All day long, I’ve had a ringing in my ears. “Pal....Mal.....Gal something like that.”

Executive Orders by any President can be undone by a newly elected president, day one.

No Congressional vote needed.

Go ahead Obama, make our GOP 2016 a tidal wave.

No. I think Obama read the polls and decided to wait to do the really, really evil things he has been planning until after the midterms.

This is just typical leftist spin to give Obama cover with his hard left base. It is the Limbaugh Theory in action.

Ahhhh,
Wonderful thoughts of setting him adrift in say the middle of
Hudson Bay in a leaky inflatable in late November.
That is about what I think obammy deserves.

He did have an odd expression the whole time. First time he showed some gumption and it was directed at US.

I agree.

Ping to eligibility ping list. I see this as great news for Sheriff Arpaio’s “universe shattering evidence” that is being prepped for release AFTER the Senate falls to the GOP in November!

Barry’s popularity has now plunged to a level where the public and his own party and even his own inner circle and cabinet would welcome any excuse to be rid of his incompetent waffling posterior which is putting the national security at risk!

Carp, as you know, I have always thought that Baraq Hussein Obama, Jr., (or II) was a distractive figure head chosen for his teflon-based skin-color. No one dare criticize a "man of color" (Whatever that color might be) and live! Meanwhile, this odd personality could draw fire while they continued the Socialist Mission.

But as as his destructive team progressed into year 5, their figurehead began perhaps, to think of himself as the whole ship. IOW, to start believing the legend that had been crafted for him. Happens all the time with stupid clients! Hey, they gave him this power, now watch him abuse it!

Now, they have to try and get him back in the bottle. Lots of luck with that.

BTW, I cannot believe these Senate races are so damned close! This surely is a major FU on the RNC's part ... unless they really are the uniparty.

Close?

What polling are you reading?

A wave is building with each beheading according to most pollsters. No need to go much further than Nate Silver, IMO:
