I used to wonder if Obama was deliberately creating chaos and havoc for his party, or if he was really that incompetent. How does a guy go from Messiah to moron in two years?
I’ve come think that this is probably all part of a brilliant, albeit Machiavellian political strategy on Obama’s part. Obama knew he was going to lose control of the Congress in the mid-terms, anyway. So he went for broke while he had the majority, setting the stage for all kinds of confrontations to come.
Despite having bullet-proof majorities, Obama complained whenever his own party bolted and stalled some piece of legislation that the Republicans were obstructionist and “the Party of NO!”
Obama is a lousy president, but he is an absolute genius in the application of class warfare. When the GOP sweeps into power, he’ll have them exactly where he wants them.
They are the ones who will have to make the tough decisions about what social programs to cut.
Two years from now, Obama have most of the country blaming the Republicans for the mess he deliberately caused over the last two years. Newt Gingrich led the GOP to victory in 1994 with his “Contract with America” that ultimately led to a balanced budget five years later.
But TIME Magazine’s cover that Christmas featured a picture of Newt Gingrich under the caption, “The Grinch That Stole Christmas.” In 1994, everybody wrote of Bill Clinton as a one-term president.
The collapse began in the waning hours of the Bush administration, but everything Obama has done since taking office has been aimed at making the situation worse.
That puts the Republicans in the driver’s seat at just the right moment for Obama’s Fed to pull the hyperinflation trigger so that the blame falls on the GOP, oh, sometime around the beginning of 2012.
No matter what happens tomorrow, I wouldn’t count Obama out in 2012 just yet.
He didn't "go" anywhere. People who looked at the facts dispassionately knew exactly what he was and what would happen if he were elected and thus it came to pass. It's like the teenage girl or young adult woman who "suddenly" realizes that her family and friends were right and that her boyfriend is a creep.
Much more plausible when his erstwhile worshippers are back-biting snakeheads.
