"Ooops... That's the window. Where the fudge is the door?"

What a difference a year makes. On a balmy Tuesday evening in November just under a dozen long months ago, Barack Hussein Obama's unlikely journey to the presidency reached its heady conclusion. Americans had shown, he proclaimed, that they could "put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day".
The then Illinois senator told the enraptured crowd, and a world that watched in awe at what the United States had achieved, that "all things are possible", that "our union can be perfected" and it was time for the "partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long to be cast aside".
This Tuesday, Democrats face almost certain defeat in the governor's race in Virginia – the key Southern state that helped deliver Mr Obama victory – and a desperately close call in New Jersey, where the Democratic governor is in deep trouble in what should be a safe seat.
Although the White House was buoyed by the release of gross domestic product figures yesterday showing that the US had climbed out of the worst recession since the Great Depression, little else is going right for Mr Obama.
His popularity ratings have slumped to an anaemic average of 51 per cent. He has spent a full 60 days thus far considering a request from General Stanley McChrystal, Nato commander in Afghanistan, for another 44,000 troops to stave off defeat.
There are increasing signs that Mr Obama is deeply discomfited by the war that he had declared in his election campaign to be a "war of necessity". Amid grave concern at the Pentagon about the cost of delaying decision making so long, it emerged yesterday that Mr Obama had asked for a detailed province-by-province study of Afghanistan.

Net neutrality and the swine flu emergency will save us from having to read stories of how much a clusterflop Obama really is...Long Live King Zero I.
Sadly, it won't be a year until January. We knew what was coming, we just didn't realize how quickly Soros @ Co. could bring a great country down.
Zero stinks.
Zero stinks.
And in return, Obama has worked tirelessly to force Americans to "bend over" while he reams them with his plans to remake it into just another Socialist hellhole...
What’s interesting about this is that I recall reading this guy during the election and he was smitten with zero.
Election day wasn’t balmy last year! (well, maybe if you lived in Hawaii it was).
Perhaps he just mistyped and really meant to type ‘barmy’.
Super Hero? You mean Super Zero!

Coincidence? I think not! After the election in Va. the figures will be revised downward.
From election day forward the world’s enemies knew they had a friend in the White House.
All Pimp and no Hos.
Pray for America and Our Troops
Americans eat better, have better health care, more personal freedom, live longer and have more leisure time and money to enjoy it than anyone else in the world. This is what the ‘bama is going to ‘fix’ for us. Imagine empty mall parking lots, grocery stores with empty shelves, and shortages where people have to wait for hours for necessities while loud speakers blare on and on about the glory of ‘bama our savior-that’s where he’s taking us.
There are signs the same thing may be happening in New Jersey.
The people may be awakening.
It is our turn to hope. Real hope.
