Obama’s failed presidency
The Hill ^ | June 26,2012 | Dick Morris

Posted on 06/27/2012 6:27:02 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Particularly if the Supreme Court invalidates the individual mandate at the heart of the ObamaCare law, this president’s tenure is increasingly going to be seen as an unmitigated failure

The economy is in a shambles and getting worse. The national debt is bloated. The stimulus didn’t work. His healthcare reform law, his signature program, might be unconstitutional. He tied the nation up for a year and a half, and lost his party’s House majority and much of its margin in the Senate, to pass and defend a law that was so poorly written, it could get thrown out by the court. He might be cited for contempt of Congress.

He hasn’t delivered on his environmental commitments. Cap-and-trade is a dead letter. Gov. Scott Walker’s victory in Wisconsin makes a mockery of Obama’s pledge to strengthen organized labor during his term. American popularity around the globe is lower than it was under Bush, and both Iran and North Korea are more threatening

His speeches, once inspirational, now sound hollow. His tone, once uplifting, now is partisan and harsh. His demeanor was once unruffled and his voice calming. These days he often appears rattled and off balance. He ran a relatively gaffe-free campaign in 2008 (the encounter with Joe the Plumber excepted). But in 2012, he can’t seem to do anything right. He attracted vast amounts of money in piling up a 2-to-1 financial advantage over McCain. But this year, he admits he will be outspent.

To win, Obama needs a phenomenal turnout among downscale voters. He’s not going to get it. There is no enthusiasm for him among his base. Nobody can be inspired by his record of failure. Democrats are increasingly voting with their feet, staying home during his coming convention and distancing themselves from the top of the

Morris seems pretty confident. but the problem with Dick Morris is that next week he could panic and change his mind about all of this for unknown reasons even to him. I used to follow him and got exhausted.. lol

I honestly think Morris is just telling people what they want to hear when he talks about a Romney landslide.

Despite being the worst President in the history of our country, the Kenyan should be favored in his quest for a second term.

Demographics and the entitlement class make it impossible for any Republican to ever win in landslide fashion again. If Romney wins, it is going to be with a margin similar to GWB’s in 2000.

I don’t think he is going to get it. Blacks and Hispanics are going to vote overwhelmingly for Baraq again, and there will be enough whites out there who will pull the lever for him again as well.

Obama by 4 or 5 points come November. True economic collapse to follow by March 2013 — Bush’s fault of course.

Bush is like a baseball manager who finished 60-102 in his last season. Obama got a 4 year contract, and the best he ever did was win 66 games. For a team used to winning the pennant. Nobody is going to give him another 4 year contract.

The white guilt suckered Americans will not be suckered again, but the Marxist media and education system continue to intemidate and brainwash the public.
America will continue to fall, even if RINO Romney wins, but the country will be in very serious trouble if Obozo wins another term.

My prediction: By the end of July it’s going to be clear to all but the totally blind that Bork (Obunga) has zero shot at this thing and the dems are going to heave his butt under the bus and Stenny Hoyer is going to run for president in November. You heard it here first.

Failure is an ambiguous term when it comes to Democrat Presidents. For example, you could say that Clinton was successful when he pushed thru the largest tax increase in the history of the world, or when he vetoed medicare reform, or when he won the impeachment trial. But a lot of folks would say that those things were all disasters. And Obama was successful in pushing thru Obamacare, but Obamacare is a disaster, so maybe he actually failed.
