Obama headed for a Lyndon Johnson type failed presidency?

As the United States goes deeper into debt, the question has begun to arise about whether Obama will be a failed, one-time president. With spending that is projected to reach deficits of $1.8 trillion this year and $1.3 next year, the debt is expected to spiral to $10 trillion over the next decade.

Watch Hillary to begin to lose weight.

And gets her hair done.

My big fear is that once he sees he’s losing his grip, the gloves will come off and he’ll get violent. The people are already rejecting him and his loony ideas, and all that needs to happen now is for the media to abandon him. But I don’t think that’s likely yet, because they elected him and they’ll stand by him.

Still, a wounded Marxist is a dangerous Marxist, even more so when it’s a wounded Muslim Marxist, so I think we have to be prepared for him to become very dangerous as he realizes that he’s losing support.

Don’t worry. Obama (aka “The One”) will have his “generated international crisis” to save the day. Ala Biden.

I’m just trying to guess what it’s going to be.

But Obama is in denial of that. It is all some conspiracy. Obama believes once he makes his 100th national prime time TV appearance and finally makes his case clear, the people will be on board.

I suspect this clown is in for a major meltdown. He’s probably been surrounded all his life by people telling him how great and smart he is. Now, for the first time, he’s under real pressure and all the smoke they can blow up his bum isn’t going to make him any less incompetent. You can see his temper there just under the surface.

Remember when, after like two days in office, he and the wife “had to get out of the White House”?

My money is on the Swine flu. There will be a supposed "outbreak," and with people refusing to take the vaccine, he'll utilize armed forces to force the population to take it. People will be "quarantined" (actually political enemies), and travel will be limited, food will be controlled, etc...

The only problem with your Swine Flu idea is that that will further erode his support in the states. It was a good try though ! :)

Exactly. I desperately hope he is not headed for “a Lyndon Johnson type failed presidency,” Johnson passed massive, tax-payer funded, public programs. I would much prefer that he become a Jimmy Carter type failed president.

Lyndon Johnson, a failed President? We’re still living with all the crap he shoved through 45 yrs. ago. How is that failure? Just because it’s destroying the country doesn’t count. Just because the Democrats have not made him a Saint like Roosevelt and Kennedy and re-named every street, P.O., airport, and grade school in the U.S. after him doesn’t count.

“Obama headed for a Lyndon Johnson type failed presidency?”

If he keeps this crap up he may turn into “Swiss Cheese”. Seems like it happened to a certain Romanian dictator about 20 years ago...........Just sayin’

The problem with that is that the Swiss know. You can’t put a false story out there when somebody else that you don’t know has the goods on you. If the Swiss want something, the facts will come out regardless any “track covering.” But I take your point.

“Obama will be a failed, one-time president.”

I certainly hope so.
