A casual discussion of Obama's political situation today inspired the following analysis and predictions.
2009-01-29 : A Historical Preview
The Obama Presidency is probably doomed to failure ... notwithstanding Rush Limbaugh's recently expressed hope that Obama's policies fail.
The Obama White House is guilty of extraordinary political mistakes (as follows) that reveals either a terrifyingly confused President Hussein ... or worse still ... a Machiavellian power struggle birthed in an Administration still in it's infancy.
(1) Obama's very peculiar nomination of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner (the now internationally known IRS tax-cheat) is astounding, at the least.
Geither's continued support by Obama is bizarre, as Geither's predicament of being a multi-year tax cheat will give shiploads of fresh ammunition to the Anti-Federal-Income Circus ...
Indeed, as reported in the media today ...
"Rep. John Carter (R-Texas) wants all U.S. taxpayers to enjoy the same immunity from IRS penalties and interest as House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) and Obama administration Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner apparently have.
Carter yesterday introduced legislation to make that happen. Carter, who is fifth in line in Republican leadership as secretary of the House Republican Conference, introduced The Rangel Rule Act of 2009 (H.R. 735), which allows any taxpayer who wrote “Rangel Rule” on their return when paying back taxes would be immune from penalties and interest."
President Hussein still bathes in the after-glow of a magnificent two-million attendee coronation celebration for his inauguration ....
I wonder how he will react IF every April-15 for the next four years ... Two Million Americans protest over "unfair" IRS taxes, penalties and interest levied against them ... levied indirectly by the (IRS Tax Cheat) Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner ?
Rush Limbaugh and U.S. Conservatives (not to be confused with the Republican Party) have been handed a glorious opportunity to (rightfully) embarrass President Hussein ... and the entire Democrat-controlled Senate
Why did President Hussein keep (IRS Tax Cheat) Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner ?
Was President Hussein "blackmailed" into this ridiculous position ?
Who would benefit politically the most from this strategic mistake ?
(2) Obama's Chief-of-Staff Rahm recently demonstrated the most incredible behavior of a Chief of Staff in memory.
At a recent White House staff meeting, Rahm was observed to be noisily cracking his knuckles, to which the President of the United States (Barack Obama) told Rahm to stop the noisy distraction immediately.
Rahm Emanuel's response (as reported in the media) ?
Rahm moved closer to Obama (President of the United States) and re-cracked his knuckles (again) so that President Obama could hear it again.
The wonder of wonders ?
Rahm Emanuel still has a job at the White House ...
President Obama was made a public fool by this incident, in front of his office staff (no less) ... and yet he does nothing ?
Was President Hussein "blackmailed" into this ridiculous position ?
Who would benefit politically the most from this strategic mistake ?
The answer to both of these questions is Hillary Clinton ... as per the movie "The Usual Suspects" ...
I believe that the Clinton's realized during the 2008 Democratic Primaries that Obama was unstoppable ...
The Clinton (with their secreted FBI files) could have easily destroyed the Obama Campaign, but that would have elected John (RINO) McCain as President ... with Sarah Palin becoming the first U.S. woman president in 2012.
Therefore, the Clintons kept Obama in power, in exchange for Hillary's nomination as Secretary of State.
Ms. Clinton will use that position as the "Gravitatas Springboard" for her 2012 presidential nomination.
Where will President Hussein be in 2012 ? Declining re-election to "spend more time with his family", as the Clintons play their blackmail cards against him.
President Hussein will still cling to his "historic" role as first Black U.S. President, as he decides to "serve the whole world" by becoming the "United Nations General Secretary".
That enough of predictions for now ... except that the current U.S. economic downturn may be more severe than anyone is willing to admit ...
The best and only advice that I can give President Barak Hussein Obama is from Shakespeare's Henry V ...
=====================================
"May God and His Angels Guard Your Sacred Throne, and May You Long Become It."
Shakespeare, Henry V, Act I, Scene II
=====================================

A rose by any other name still stinks in this case. Sorry for my perversion of Shakespeare in this particular case.
I suppose there’s something to be said for wishful thinking....
Obama will be the dem nominee in 2012 without any doubt. Hillary can forget 2012 and will be focusing on 2016.
Being that we’re heading into the Great Depression, which will begin to deepen this year, and next year — I would say that this fact does not bode well for a continued Obama Presidency.
He’ll come to 2012 with a much worse economy and people will be looking to kick him out... LOL...
A president with secrets is an easy target for blackmail.
Obama has A LOT of secrets.
If he is being blackmailed I hope it is Hillary and not China, Russia, Israel, Iran...
Don’t forget that Bill CLinton did horribly his first few months in office—one disaster after another—and was widely panned even by the liberal media, but got himself re-elected in 1996 all the same. Obama can follow similar tactics to ensure that no strong opponent materializes in 2012, unless he turns into another Jimmy Carter. He’ll get a lot more slack than Jimmy since he isn’t a white guy from the South.
>>Hillary can forget 2012 and will be focusing on 2016.<<
She’ll really be an old _itch by then.
Never forget that hussein is an illegal president. Where’s that photo shop birth certificate, locked up away from expert scrutiny??
O needs to gO. anytime any way.
Huma won’t have any interest in her by then!
“Huma won’t have any interest in her by then!”
You have that right. Ugggggggggggggg
I predict unemployment will climb to 13-18% and inflation will be hovering around 10% in three years.
Obama will pull an LBJ and not run for re-election. He’ll retire to do what he does best...write books about what a great guy he is.
Clinton insiders are all over Barama’s staff.
Not too far fetched IMHO.
And, remember - there are no Leftists who think this guy has made a single blunder. They think he’s had a “brilliant transition.” Secondarily, whenever he gets in trouble, all he has to do is ratchet up ACORN, Moveon.org, clean/greens, unions, etc. to run ads for him. Lastly, our numbskulled electorate is also something Bambi can count on.
I think some people who were duped by all that Hope-Change-BushHitler stuff are beginning to realize they might have been had.
Let's hope so, for the sake of our nation.
I'd suggest 0bama find a new Monica, just to make his Administration match Slick Willy's.
