Many pundits, from David Brooks to Tom Friedman, have basically stated that if Obamacare fails in the Congress this year, it would have spelled the end of the Obama Presidency, for all practical purposes.
I disagree.
I think we have already seen the beginning of the end of the Obama Presidency.

I hope we aren’t given the American public more credit than they deserve for seeing through Obama and Dems by November.
Great read. Real history.
Nope. He and the rats have two more big smelly turds to drop on us. Amnesty and cap and trade. They have shown they will go to 51 votes in the senate. They have the muscle to do that on both issues and will have some republican cover on both.
That is not an ended presidency. It is in fact a transformative presidency. Like Lenin, Moussolini, Hitler, and Mao were transformative, uh, executiveships. He is most like the two fascists. They were elected and managed transformative presidencies anyway.
He has eight months of media coverage about how health care doesn’t actually hurt anyone (and it won’t for a bit because all the really bad parts are delayed). And, don’t forget, we could be bombing Iran around the election. So the dems could even retain their majority in both houses of congress.
There is no happy ending here.
My hat is off to you.
Fortunately for me, I am retired, so don’t have to work around them anymore. I can’t even be around these bugs... it’s just pointless.

While it is unlike me, I passed anger a long time ago. I am full of rage and wondering what comes after that.
I have never felt this way on a daily basis.
That says it for me.
Nope, from now on obama will get stronger.Why? Because he called our bluff and to date we have done nothing.
How about this? Shoving everyones’ face in it right after the National Socialist Hellth Care.

Gates to announce changes to ban on gays in military

Defense Secretary Robert Gates is close to announcing changes in the way the Department of Defense enforces the law that bans openly gay people from serving in the military.
“I think he is prepared to offer a way ahead on that subject this week,” Geoff Morrell, the Pentagon press secretary, told reporters Tuesday.
Gates will address “the changes that he is going to be making to the department’s policy to provide for a more humane enforcement and application of the law,” Morrell said.
Gates directed the Pentagon’s legal counsel in February to explore ways to relax enforcement of the law commonly known as “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
Gates in June indicated that Pentagon lawyers were researching whether military officials can ignore the policy in cases where members of the military are “outed” against their will.
“Does that force us to take an action?” he asked at the time. “I don’t know the answer to that. I don’t want to pretend to. But that is the kind of thing we are looking at.”
Gates said in February he believed there is “at least a more humane way to comply with the law until the law gets changed.”
The Clinton-era law prohibits officials from inquiring into a military member’s sexual orientation but allows the services to take action against those members who disclose their homosexuality by word or action.
Gates in February said he supported President Barack Obama’s efforts to repeal the 1993 law and has directed the Pentagon to conduct a yearlong study on how the military would lift its ban on openly gay service members.
He’s never been President.
