“Obama’s ship is sinking fast.

This is still premature. It will be true, but not just yet.

There’s still a LOT of folks that haven’t come to grips with their own culpability in electing this guy. Oh, they’ll sing his praises along with press, but eventually it will be the elephant in the room and difficult to ignore. That’s when a small number of Dems and the independents will say “enough”. That’s when the ship will take on a lot of water. Most folks are slow to admit their mistakes. It’s a reflection on themselves, and they’re slow to admit they screwed up if at all.

But as of now, his ship is still riding pretty high, considering the damage it’s recently done.

Most dems will be happy until it finally hits their wallets, then the whining will start happening!

Have you seen the latest polls? He’s down 13 in the last few weeks.

Unemployed people are unhappy people regardless of climate change or Russian detant.

The hopeychangy.bubble has burst. Everyone is searching for those million of bullsh-t “Green Jobs” and can’t find squat.

They'll never publicly admit their own culpability. Nor, if history is any guide, will there be a need for them to do so.

Obama's popularity seems to me to be more along the line of Britney Spears' or some other Tabloid Cover Queen, than that of, say, Ronald Reagan's. IOW, it's based on media-fueled celebrity, rather than any solid accomplishments or abilities. He's riding high on people's emotions; and at some point those emotions become unsustainable in the face of reality (which Obama is piling on at an amazing and horrifying rate).

At that point, the media fascination changes from adulation to merciless coverage of the train wreck.

And as for Obama's alleged glamour queen wife ... well that's so clearly made up that she'll probably lead the fall.

The phrase of the day will become ‘Don’t blame me, I voted for McCain.’ But they didn’t really. It will be an easy out to NOT admit ‘they’ are responsible for Obama/Soetero/WhatsHisName...

They'll be making excuses as they slip down the deck of the Titanic....maybe hitting the ice-cold water will wake them up...
