A friend of ours sent us this article from RedState just now, and we had a good discussion about it. It’s commentary on David Brooks’ column in the NY Times, where Brooks argues Democrats really and truly are committing political suicide, since the White House and Congress believe America is The Huffington Post. Brooks says Democrats will try to ram Deathcare through using every trick in the book, even if only 35% of the country identifies as liberal and supports this. Brooks predicts a massive backlash against the White House and Congress in 2010.
One of the comments on this RedState article says Dr. Utopia will be down to the 30s in approval ratings by Christmas, and that September is going to be a brutal month for liberals.
We feel Dr. Utopia will be in the very low 40s by Halloween, definitely…but the REALLY brutal month for him is going to be the four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Why?
(1) People out spending money will realize how little money they have left to spend…and they will wonder where their hope and change are
(2) During the holiday season, people will gather together. There will be discussions…things will get into politics. Everyone will wonder where their hope and change are. Those who didn’t vote for Dr. Utopia will get to say “Told YA SO!”

Too soon. we need it to happen more slowly so the “malaise” does not set in. People need to be angry in 2012.
hey obama’s doing all the work for us.
Just sayin'....
We may not get to 2012. I am hoping Judge Carter tells him to pony up his BC before or just after Christmas.
I believe his numbers are probably real close to that now.You dont hear crap out of anybody that voted for him.Especially my neighbor,the moron.
No its this month where the bamster starts to envy Bush’s approval ratings. The market will tank within the next 60 days. This will be the end of the green shoots and the so-called (false) recovery. When people realize that not only is it not getting better, but the economy has been on quick slide to oblivion, its Katey close the door! The few remaining people who don’t understand that they were duped will suddenly see that low powered fluorescent light bulb come on, and it ain’t gonna be pretty. The public will finally have to acknowledge the wasted trillions and the fact that we are worse off for Obamanomics. The Bamster will gone by next June, off to perfect his golf game with the right Reverend Wright. And together they can curse the white devils and the racists for their plight. The Bamster is heading for his Woodrow Wilson moment, but the country will not sit by and watch Michelle pick up the slack. The only thing I am wondering is how they are going to get rid of Joe. Will it be another anuerism or some other unlikely scenario. The shadows will not allow Biden to become president.
I think the market tanks in 30 days.
I think you are on the money. Things will get worse and all the money (TARP/stimulus/whatever) will have been stolen and gone.
So how does he get dumped?
I think the Dems have the Kenyan BC in a vault and are holding onto it just in case. The only trick will be for the Dems to blame the GOP with the help of the liberal newsmedia.
It could be Bill and Hillary to the rescue and Joe and Pelosi were in on the scam so they go.
We are going to see Obama’s support plummet especially since it appears he is giving up on the public option. He is not going to pick up those who didn’t like the public option and now he is going to lose even more of those who supported him.
He is boxed in on several fronts. Health Care even without a public option is dead, Cap and Trade is dead, and now on to Immigration. Granted the first two may not be dead but if he dares push them trough now he is going to do something that will energize his opponents like never before and some of the most energetic are the independents which he has effectively lost as a group and is losing more by day.
How can he recover? I don’t see it. He is boxed in on every side. He is no Bill Clinton and he is in danger of crashing and burning. I just hope not too soon. The problem with Obama is he hasn’t lived up to the rhetoric. I expect that over the next year he will get more and more desperate as the fact that he is increasingly irrelevant sinks in.
He might be in the 30’s by Halloween.
So far, the media is ignoring the fact that Obama is dropping like a rock out of the sky.
They are not helping him either with their soft ball support. Obama’s candle is burning from both ends.
How about 10% or lower approval by Halloween??
“Obama’s candle is burning from both ends.”
Here’s hoping the lower end of the burning candle is a stick of dynamite!
Yeah. What I wonder is how he will behave once he finally realizes that nothing he says, that all those precious words, have been neutered because people have tired of the language of lifting up while seeing their country falling down, being buried in debt and everyone paying the cost except for Washington. Obama doesn’t understand that he isn’t just fighting Republicans. He is fighting the rising spirit of a nation being reborn.
“What I wonder is how he will behave”
As long as our military doesn’t side with him and turn on us we will survive him!
