It also feels as though Hillary is going to sit back and watch him fail, especially with all the old Clinton people.
We know what Obama is going to do!
Whenver a tough decision comes he’ll just vote present or he will say that is above my pay grade!
the world will hate obama because he is against free trade. If he starts a trade war with China, especially during a recession, we could be entering into some serious doodoo.
they are already concerned over Rahmbo.

This POS has never had to make a gut check decision in his life...I cant wait until the first few bad ones.
He has too broad of a coaltion of support-it will unravel...the question is only how fast.
I'll wager it was only thousands, and that they marched the behest of community organizers with Kremlin orders, not because RR wanted to defend them.
