Above all, Obama yearns to be liked - not only liked, but worshiped.
The sinking stock market accompanied by the sinking poll numbers have got to be sobering and scary to him. Whether or not his proposals are worsening the economy, who knows-they haven’t even been put into practice yet. The fact is people remain fearful and they are starting to blame his proposals for the problems. There are as many Democrats with holdings in the stock market as there are Republicans (maybe even more so if you count the local/state/federal workers’ pension funds).
This turn of events will mean that Obama will face opposition when he tries to overreach. Congress and 1/3 of the Senate has to face re-election in two years. They don’t want to hitch themselves to the gravy train to h***.
The WSJ is respected and feared. Other MSM outlets will follow the WSJ’s lead and start questioning the proposals.
This is an early wake up call for the Chicago thuggery to get its act together pronto and start proposing ideas that help the economy, not sink it - ideas that a majority of the GOP can support and share credit on.
Obama will be doomed if he believes his election was an endorsement of socialism and acts accordingly. For some of his voters it was, but for many others it was not.
I saw a short clip of our Muslim Messiah on FOX the other day. He was saying the lobbyists and the special interest groups would be coming to the White house to start a fight, but he was not going to cave - he's ready for a fight. He wasn't the usual, high chinned, arrogant SOB he usually is. He looked livid. He looked pi$$ed. How dare they disobey their master? How dare they even question his divine wisdom? Do they not know who he is? Why he came down to Earth at this time in world history?
