Obama’s ship is sinking
New York Post ^ | September 14, 2014 | Michael Goodwin

The rising clamor over the beheading of two Americans, and rapidly sinking polls, forced President Obama to reassure the nation last week he had a plan to deal with the Islamic State. He did some of what he had to do, but only some, and so most military analysts believe the expanded airstrikes will not be a sufficient match for the size and weaponry of the terrorist army. They miss the point. The disjointed speech wasn’t really about terrorism and launching a new war. It was about saving Obama’s presidency. He is sinking fast and could soon pass the point of no return. In fact, it may already be too late to save the SS Obama. The whole second term has been a string of disasters, with the toxic brew of his Obamacare lies, middling economic growth and violent global breakdown casting doubt on the president’s stewardship. Six years into his tenure, nothing is going as promised. Earlier on, he could have trotted out his teleprompters and turned public opinion his way, or at least stopped the damage. But the magic of his rhetoric is long gone, and not just because the public has tuned him out. They’ve tuned him out because they’ve made up their minds about him. They no longer trust him and don’t think he’s a good leader.

If both go, Mr. Boehner is in.
If that’s the case we are really screwed.Boehner is just as responsible for this Mess as the Clown Prince and his joker.

“....be impeached or that there will be a coup de etat?”

.
American leaders wouldn’t know how to undertake that action even if the national security demanded it.

The speech was a weak effort without passion. I believe it was his “Jump the Shark” moment—he is done—we are at his end game—I believe when the truth is known—he will be toast. Hillary should denounce him and tell the truth about how he was ruling the nation. That could see her to the election.

The CIA and other organizations pulled off several very nice ones in the 50’s 60’s and 70’s. Are all those people dead now?

Even Biden would be better—Nancy Pelosi would be an improvement over Obama.

She and Valerie Jarrett are calling the shots now.

Obama demonstrated how impaired his judgement is with his latest point about how ISIS has nothing to do with Islam.

A true jump the shark moment here.

If he were correct then how can the following be true (many thanks to Judge Jeanine Pirro):

- they yell “Allah Akhbar”
- their leader has a Ph.D in Islamic Studies
- they want to implement Sharia Law
- they desire a caliphate
- they call themselves the Islamic State

And lets not forget that when we do catch them, they all get a Koran.

There a “political spins and lies” but his portrayal of ISIS as not being Islamic is tantamount to claiming the Sun orbits the Earth in 2014.

I believe he is mentally impaired an can medically be proven to be so.

We are all at risk the longer he is allowed to command our military without some sort of real public medical examination to authenticate he’s not insane.

the article is true but misses the point.

as Obama becomes more and more a short-timer,
people are less inclined to cooperate with him
on a personal level.

There was one report this week that Obama has made a deal to announce his resignation after November. Don’t know which site I read that on. Anybody else read the same?

Odummmmmbo has been NOTHING but a very large chunk of ugly concrete around the ankle of the United States. It's all we could do to keep our noses above water, frantically paddling, to counteract his just plain stoooopid policies, his egotistical (and illegal) swipes of his Executive Orders pen, his alienating important allies, his destructive meddling in local matters which are none of his concern, his furthering the destruction of public education, his attempted destruction of America's healthcare system, his insistence that we need the approval of other countries to make our policies, his deliberate importation of illegals consisting of resource-sucking disease-ridden illiterates offering NOTHING of any value to our country and dangerous gang members, thus putting the U.S. population at risk, his callous disregard for the welfare of our military and his nincompoop flailing away at war stuff he lacks the slightest understanding of.

We need this arrogant (about what, I still wonder) jackass like we need a crop sprayer distributing ebola virus.

Get out of town, clown.

You just slip out the back, Jack.

Make a new plan, Stan.

You don't need to be coy, Roy.

Just get away from me.

Hop on the bus, Gus. You don't need to discuss much.

Just drop off the key, Lee. And get yourself away from me (and the rest of America.)

Of course, if his brain dead Obamabots want to follow him to Odummmboland, i.e. some deserted island way out in the middle of nowhere, we can chip in to buy them one-way tickets.
