How Barack Obama's presidency has come undone
CBC ^ | 11/19/2014 | Neil Macdonald, CBC News

Posted on 11/19/2014 6:18:15 AM PST by Phlap

The original Obama movement was so rapturous that stating the obvious — you can't eat hope and the rhetoric was mostly empty — seemed small-minded and a cynical snub to those people who clearly felt they were about to see real change, especially black voters who were feeling the kind of fierce emotions that most of us could never understand.

"We are the ones we've been waiting for," he'd tell the crowds. Whatever that meant, it sounded good.

Today, though, Obama must — must — at least be contemplating the possibility that he has failed.

Six years after he assumed power, nearly 120 of his promises remain unfulfilled, according to the Pulitzer-prize-winning website Politifact.

THE GUESS WHO

“Undun”

She’s come undone
She didn’t know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late

She’s come undone
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn’t fly
It was too late

It’s too late
She’s gone too far
She’s lost the sun

She’s come undone
She wanted truth, but all she got was lies
Came the time to realize
And it was too late

She’s come undone
She didn’t know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
Mama, it was too late

It’s too late
She’s gone too far
She’s lost the sun
She’s come undone
No-na-na, no-na-na, no-na-na

Too many mountains and not enough stairs to climb
Too many churches and not enough truth
Too many people and not enough eyes to see
Too many lives to lead and not enough time

It’s too late
She’s gone too far
She’s lost the sun
She’s come undone

Doe-doe-doe-doe-doe, doe, un-doe-doe-doe, un-doe-doe-doe
Doe doe-doe-doe-doe, un-doe-doe-doe, doe-doe-doe
Doe doe-doe-doe, doe, doe-doe-doe, doe, doe

It’s too late
She’s gone too far
She’s lost the sun

She’s come undone
She didn’t know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late

She’s come undone
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn’t fly
Mama, it was too late

It’s too late
She’s gone too far
She’s lost the sun
She’s come undone

No, no-no-no-no-no, no
Doe, doe, doe-doe

"We are the ones we've been waiting for," he'd tell the crowds.

They are also the ones Alexis de Toqueville warned Americans about.

Catastrophic failure that leaves lasting damage to the foundations of this country. It will take many years if ever to repair the damage.

When a person (obama) lies and then has to tell more lies to cover up the first lies it only snowballs. Eventually they lose track of all the lies they’ve told and implode.

Barry Soetoro is a train wreck. He is a fraud and a treasonous bastard. He deserves and America should demand the maximum punishment.

Obola’s Faux pRes_ _ency, void of even a birth certificate,
has not come undone.

It is America, its security, Laws, and economy
which have been undone. Perhaps forever —
given the selfserving EXEMPT Congress.

Now he’s reduced to 1945 Hitler hunkering down in his Berlin bunker, bitter and screaming at a world which refused to acknowledge his awesomeness.

This article is all wrong.

If you were to ask Obama he would say that the country has failed him, but in fact he is the standard for success.

You think I am joking. This nut is incapable of seeing failure just like Hitler. Maybe Obama will do the only sensible thing and follow along the steps of Hitler and do away with himself.

You think I joke here too. I just read an article, can’t remember where, that Obama is chronically depressed. Maybe he is depressed enough to blow himself up or blow his brains out just like Hitler. That is the fate of freak dictators like him and his ilk. We should be so lucky.

“Barry Soetoro is a train wreck. He is a fraud and a treasonous bastard. He deserves and America should demand the maximum punishment.”

Any of the old French revolutionary’s available to carry out the punishment?

This all presupposes the Barry presidency was ‘done’ from the beginning. It wasn’t. It was, as the article points out, merely a pile of rhetoric. Any action revolved around preening, partying and helping his buds get a pile of tax money. The aftermath is a mass of simpletons wondering what hit them. Guber was right, by and large the electorate is stupid. They prefer to be lied to. Only when it appears their goodies/favors from the govt are going to be taken away do they become unhappy.
