Obama’s White House is Falling Down
canadafreepress.com ^ | Thursday, June 11, 2009 | By Daniel Greenfield

In the sixth month of his presidency, Obama has turned an economic downturn into an economic disaster, taking over and trashing entire companies, and driving the nation deep into deficit spending expected to pass 10 trillion dollars.

Abroad, Obama seems to have no other mode except to continue on with his endless campaign, confusing speechmaking with diplomacy. It is natural enough that Obama, who built his entire campaign on high profile public speeches reported on by an adoring press, understands how to do nothing else but that.

Ego driven photo op appearances and clueless treatment of foreign dignitaries While the press is still chewing over Obama’s Cairo speech, this celebrity style coverage ignores the fact that Obama’s endless world tour is not actually accomplishing anything. Instead his combination of ego driven photo op appearances and clueless treatment of foreign dignitaries have alienated many of America’s traditional allies. Those who aren’t being quietly angry at Obama, like Brown, Merkel or Netanyahu, instead think of him as as absurdly lightweight, as Sarkozy, King Abdullah or Putin do.

While his officials carry out their dirty economic deeds, Obama responds to any and every crisis as if it were a Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland musical, with a cry of, “Let’s put on a show.” Thus far Obama has put on “shows” across America, Europe and the Middle East. And what the adoring media coverage neglects to cover, is that Obama’s shows have solved absolutely nothing. They have served only as high profile entertainment.

Neither alienating America’s traditional allies, through a combination of arrogant bullying and ignorance, nor appeasing America’s enemies, has yielded any actual results. Nor does it seem likely to. Islamic terrorism is not going anywhere, neither are the nuclear threats from North Korea and Iran. While Obama keeps smiling, the global...

Canada? Any chance you could ‘shake out your skirt’ and rid us of these infidels? We don’t seem to able to do this by ourselves. ;)

Thank heavens the Canadians get it.
Their border is close enough for a dash if it becomes necessary.

Everyone on tv says there are “green shutes” everywhere and the economy is getting better. Retail sales are stabilizing, the housing market is stabilizing, unemployment claims are slowing down.....Are they wrong? CNBC thinks a recovery will come this year, and 2010 will have very robust growth. Are they wrong? If so, why?

obama is doing exactly what any socialist/communist does,but he is going further to intentionally destroy the America the elitist lib/commies/dictators/atheist/muslim/drug lords/enviro dopers want destroyed. They look at him as a great success and there may be no stopping him/just like chavez,he is stacking the deck every day!obama doesn’t want the successes of the past and he is damn sure making it,so they don’t happen again.The ultimate end to this dictatorship will be war,or it won’t end,just picked successors. You might say”gee,what an extremist” and I agree,this is the most extreme ruling dictatorship ever formed on the planet!

Obama’s entire program is dependent on heavily entrenching federalism at the expense of individual and state’s rights. Yet that is precisely his achilles heel with independent voters who are polling against more taxes and expanded government. And no amount of speeches by Obama can wish away his 18 czars or the national debt he has foisted on generation after generation of the American people.

Once again it takes the Canucks to report it. Won't see this sobering line of reasoning on ABCCBSNBC nightly news. Nor the conclusion that can be drawn, which is also stated:

That leaves Obama with a choice between socialism and the independent voter. And thus far he has chosen socialism.

The tacit piece of wonderment is, exactly which area is the one where 0bama’s Overreach (Overama) would poke out. It’s now clear, to me. The bond market. Which should have been on the ball a lot earlier, but c’est la whatever.

Housing recovery = OVER. Green shoots, forget it.

The European Union Parliament’s swing to the right cannot be credited to Obama, though doubtlessly some European voters seeing socialist economic crisis management on display in the world’s richest country decided they wanted none of it,

Knowing that if the USA goes Communist there will be no one left to protect them from the Mooselimbs or themselves. Like it or not...we are the stabilizing force in the world.
