Just seven months into his term -- and 14 months before the 2010 midterm election -- and could it be, is President Obama already a lame duck?
With his passive management style -- which inevitably led to overreaching and heavy-handedness by Congressional Democrats Obama has made himself largely irrelevant on many of the issues he ran on, from health care "reform" to "resetting" our foreign relations. Here are seven signs that Obama's political suasion is waning.

Agreed. He was a lame _uck even before he ran, look at what he did in Kenya in 2006/2007.
> More than a dozen campaign volunteers, precinct captains and team leaders from all corners of Iowa, who dedicated a large share of their time in 2007 and 2008 to Mr. Obama, said ...”they supported the president completely but were taking a break from politics and were not active members of Organizing for America.
But even among those who turned out for the meetings, many of whom had Obama buttons affixed to their shirts and spoke glowingly of the president, there was a sense of fatigue at the prospect of returning to the political calisthenics the Obama army once required.<
In other words...they’re embarrassed they voted for this freak.
Can't possibly be talking about the current Obama in the White House, with his micromanaging, aggressive, and downright excessive management style and spending.

Lame presidential candidate fluffed up by the media turns into ineffectual lame duck within the first six months when reality of the job description meets empty suit lamo.
"Passive" being a euphemism for utterly inept and clueless.
"In either case, the 2010 election could put checks and balances on Pelosi and Obama -- which will make it even harder than it has proven thus far for the president to keep his campaign promises"
Which is exactly why you can bank on Obama creating another crisis from which we all must be saved. War with N. Korea maybe? Or some other Ram Manual manufactured pap to cow the public.
I take issue with the idea that he has a passive management style. He has no management style. The country is the first thing he has ever had to manage and so far, I’m not seeing much. He is shooting from the hip.
What management style? The guy's only executive claim to fame is herding the equivalent of cats to agitate against "The Man."
...well...riots, mutilations, church burnings, the dislocation of hundreds of thousands of people in Kenya worked a treat, didn’t they? Kofi Annan showed up to ‘mediate’ a power-sharing agreement that put the Luo relative of zero in power -
NO RAILA NO PEACE!
Something equally creative planned for the US maybe?
I take it that his “passive management style” is the reason why he needs so many unaccountable and unelected “czars.” Face it! Baracko is just a figure head.
I hope so. But I do not think Oslimo’s voting base are capable of embarassment!
We should all keep our powder dry and not let up on the pressure on Obooboo. It is a long time in politics from now to 2012 or even 2010 for that matter. He and his cadre are capable of doing anything to bringing him back to political life. Obooboo is down but don’t count him out yet. It is wayyyyyyyyyyyy to early to allow ourselves to do that.
Remember?

Annan announced last week that the rivals had agreed to an independent review of the election and to draw up a new constitution within a year, which could pave the way for a prime minister’s post or another way to share power.
his numbers would be half if the media actually did their job and no media it is not your job to lie and keep him popular, no your job is to tell the truth and report
I am sick and tired of doing your job
There are so many out there who do not know about his Islam references.
his 57 states
his spending
his wifes, no nothing lazy big arse vacationing on our dime
his postponing the trial of the USS cole
his spending
I could go on but I am sure I am preaching to the choir here
do not worry though media I have been informing others EVERY DAY AND as many times as I can
He was a lame f__k the second Tuesday last November but didn’t have the sense to know it.
I’m so pleased to see this meltdown.
Happy Happy Happy, Joy Joy Joy
You know it!
Liberals know it!
State Media knows it!
Resident Obamah especially knows it!
That's the reason for all the rush!
