"and then ask all my Lib friends"

It's my opinion you need to ask yourself some questions.

Obama is really failing today! DOW is now -158 down; 7,206. Way to go Obama.

Don't worry -- Biden and Geitner are in charge.

The left sees arrogance and deems it leadership - at least in a leftist.

Just like they saw a turd floating to the top of the Chicago politics cesspool and declared it to be walking on water.

For now it’s pure Doom and Gloom.
The mirage of “Hope and Change” won’t happen in earnest for another year and a half or so.
Then suddenly when everything seems lost the Hope and Change marketing machine kicks in it’s Nitros and turbo’s and we start living the glory life of unicorns, fake money and being owned by of all countries CHINA which will last about as long as it takes to get The ONE re-elected for his second term riding on a wave of glory.

The times I really fear for are about 4 years from now.

The world and most Americans don’t think he’s failing.

I like John Thune. I think with his good looks, his nice looking wife and daughters, his country conservatism, he would make mincemeat out of Obama in the next election.

Hate to say it but Jindal would never win, he’s not attractive enough, and though I don’t like it, today’s American voter is so superficial they go on looks and not much else. Mr. Thune is good looking!

Fight fire with fire!

Who has robbed more people of their wealth?

Obama or Madoff ?

Madoff took 50 billion. How many trillions will Obama take?

I can't deny that, Annie. It's a disturbing reality.

He knows he’s faling and that’s what’s important.
It’s only a matter of time until he panics.

First, I think it’s way too early to say Obama is “failing” as a leader, especially in the historical context. From my observations, he is in fact successful in “leading,” as he has accomplished much of what he wanted on the first month of his term — despite a few faux pas regarding appointments.

The REAL question is, WHERE is he leading? I think he is accomplishing exactly what he set out to do. It’s not his ability to lead that is problematic, it’s where he’s taking us that is the disaster-in-waiting. But, he knows that too. And it is out of that chaos that he can “remake” our nation.

Think about it...

Office Mail Boy promoted to CEO, a Cinderella story.

Profits then tank, and company go’s bankrupt and folds.

Obama is in so far over his head.

George Soros must be so proud of his purchase.

“DOW is now -158 down; 7,206.”

Now it’s -238.

There is no confidence in this freak, or his traitor party.

You would enjoy my thread on that concept. It supports your worthy assessment.

Obama destroying the USA to rebuild it in his own image?

Exactly...and he appears to be leading us to a socialist democracy - fast. Sadly, it appears most of our fellow Americans want that too. Hence, his popularity remains high - despite the Dow. The majority of Americans think we’re just in a cycle, and things will return to “normal.” They don’t see the end of what he’s started...and it’s not good for the U.S. or the world.
