Has Barak Obama's Presidency already failed?

Has Barack Obama’s presidency already failed? In normal times, this would be a ludicrous question. But these are not normal times. They are times of great danger. Today, the new US administration can disown responsibility for its inheritance; tomorrow, it will own it. Today, it can offer solutions; tomorrow it will have become the problem. Today, it is in control of events; tomorrow, events will take control of it. Doing too little is now far riskier than doing too much. If he fails to act decisively, the president risks being overwhelmed, like his predecessor. The costs to the US and the world of another failed presidency do not bear contemplating.

Obama stated two days after the November election he would hold off on really pushing 'the agenda' for about six months, thus by early or mid-summer the real, neo-Marxist, totalitarian nightmare will be unleashed on America, and most likely the entire Western World.

$550B of withdrawals that begin at 11 on a Thursday in September.

Obama ties to Soros.

US on verge of having our currency blowup due to debt.

New socialist/marxist President elected on hopenchange telling us to spend $1T on insulating the federal buildings in DC.

I am beginning to wonder if our enemies are not engaging in the only kind of warfare they can beat us at - financial.

Doesn't it matter what his ultimate goal is?

Maybe he's right on track...

If things really go bad, the Dems can always pull his birth certificate and impeach him. That will give them Biden, which
is not much of an improvement for their chances in 2012, assuming we still have elections at that time.

I’m afraid you are right. We are going down, just like a ship, and Hussein is doing everything he can to make sure we take on water as quickly as possibly.

The best we can hope for is failure and that he doesn’t get anything done. Failure will be much less damaging than what “success” will be if it means his policies and “vision” are enacted.

Obviously it’s amateur time at the White House with this clown. Now with Obama’s idiot at the Sec of Interior, Salazar, getting ready to scotch off-shore drilling, look for another steep gas hike. These people are stupid and dangerous.
