Never has an administration who had more firepower at their disposal, been set to so totally fail in the next six to eight weeks. It is nearly a foregone conclusion. It is nearly unavoidable. And it defies all logic given the sizable majority the administration has in both houses of Congress.
Since I was the first pundit to predict Obama's presidency (Dec 2006) it behooves me to tell you the course I believe the next few weeks will take and effectively halt the radical transformation that the left appeared unstoppable with only months ago.
1. Health Care's long and painful death.
Barring the existing possibility that the Democrats cram a reform bill down the throats of actively protesting Americans through an ultra-partisan process that would shut out conservatives and Republicans from even being allowed to contribute to the discussion, health care reform is dead. It actually died a good while back when the President decided to pivot and create a new issue that no one had been discussing--health insurance reform. The American people will want to know why we should spend $4 billion to cover everyone in America "efficiently," when we already do so with inefficiencies like people using the emergency room as their general practitioner for $2.5 billion. Deep thinkers on the issue want to know why the President hasn't entertained one item of tort reform--protecting his friends, the trial lawyers--yet is willing to claim that doctors are eager to lop off feet, tonsils, and foreskin just to make a buck.
2. Cap & Trade will be the largest tax increase in American history.
With the 2010 election cycle just around the corner, campaign ads are not far off from being drafted. With Cap & Trade still sitting in legislative limbo, with the President's own advisor--Warren Buffet--now opposing it openly on media, with the 9.12 project in the works in which the largest gathering of anti-tax Americans from the left, right, and middle will be coming to Washington DC on September 12, and with blue dogs getting absolutely hammered in their home districts supporting it, the chance of single-party ram through victory on the matter is not wise. Cap & Trade, if passed, will contribute to unemployment, Wall Street stop and starts, and ultimately reduced treasury revenues. It would serve as the single largest tax increase on the average American in all of American history. Even President Obama admitted as much, predicting that electric bill prices, in his words, would, "skyrocket." Those that have looked at the specifics tell us that the average utility bill in America will go from $167 to $307 per month, per family.
3. Unemployment to remain high.
Now several Washington organizations from left and right, and one of note consisting of both--the Congressional Budget Office, predicts that unemployment will not shrink from the predicted "Obama high" of 8%. Instead, nearly without fail, economists are predicting unemployment at or over 10% for up to the next 24 months. That is nearly 250% the increase in unemployment under Bush for nearly the duration of his two-term presidency. If people were working, higher taxes and possible new health care entitlements could be considered, but without them working it is political suicide for Democrats to even think of it.
4. Obama's integrity tarnished in August.
Not a great deal has been made of the whoppers that the President has been spewing while the Federal Government has been in recess, but it is worth noting that many more people than I had previously realized have notice the President "exaggerating" badly in his talks on health care. For instance confusing he actual $500 physicians get to amputate a foot as opposed to the $50,000 that he claimed they got. He has shown an utter disregard for the reputation of those he talks about, the "facts" he uses to make his argument, and is highly overly optimistic about the results of his policies. Long story short, at the beginning of the summer Americans mostly trusted him, his passion index was at +10, he heads into the fall at -14.
5. A $3 trillion dollar budget.
New spending for this and that sure added up. And that brings me to number 6.
6. A coming middle class tax hike.
They will hem and haw. There will be an official, and ever arrogant Robert Gibbs explanation from the White House Press room as to why they must to do this to be "good stewards" and to be a "responsible administration" that, "pays as it goes." But the truth is, in order to pay for everything they've promised and budgeted for, a tax is looming for small businesses and working families that President Obama promised would never come. And as an aside, he was going to break that promise all along. Because the minute the "Bush tax relief" runs out in 2010, middle class taxes would be going up in an "Obama administration." Hence fundamentally Obama's "not a single dime" pledge on the campaign trail was bollocks start to finish.
Of course the President, the Democrats, the left, and Congressional leadership could surprise me. They could show up in September and endorse the Coburn health care bill in the U.S. Senate and swipe the credit for it. They could show up next week and fight with all their might to not allow the tax rates to skyrocket in 2010. They could decide to scrap Cap & Trade and re-think the use of public money for true job-based economic stimulation.
But I'm not holding my breath, and I'd advise you against it as well.
They've awakened the American worker, the American small-business owner, and the American voter.
All three of which are now wondering aloud, "What on earth have we done?"

Did you happen to hear the C2C program aired Saturday from July 2002?
Gerald Celente was on that program, seven years ago and predicted the economic situation correctly.
He also predicted that it would be the right-wing conservatives who would lead a revolt, based on diminuation of Constitutional rights and economic collapse.
Very prescient.
Didn’t listen as best I can recall.
He has evidently been in contact with some of the planners of such things over the years.
Thanks.
Another confirming puzzle piece I’d just as soon not have stumbled across . . . Far too many such at this point in time.

Underground Gas Chambers in Oregon
The following true information deals with the genocide mechanisms now in place to follow gun control! I do not want to give his name publically, but the Christian trenching professional, one of the best on the West Coast, is 67-year old Phil Lane, an excellent Christian whose father was a dedicated missionary.
In Oregon, there are now two underground gas chambers built by the Rockford Corporation - under a never publicized “joint venture” - for 1 billion dollars! The first underground gas chamber is located by traveling to Mist, Oregon, to Junction Hwy 202 & 47, then travel northwest 11 1/2 miles, then 1.3 miles west on Hwy 202 to a private driveway turning back into the trees, to a ten or twelve foot fence with security guard. In plain clothes at the gate, the security guard wears dark trousers, a white shirt, and is armed with a fully (not semi) automatic weapon.
Once inside the fence, the security guard stops once every thirty seconds - while conducting a worker to the gas chambers - for a security check. The compound has 150 armed guards with fully automatic weapons. These guards are pledged to strict silence and wear “triangle” arm patches. Nearby vehicles are dark blue, almost black, with Connecticut and New Jersey license plates. This installation has “6 or 7 underground buildings, plus a huge chamber!” This structure is “120x140 or 150 and 40 or 60 feet deep underground.”
Just to the very west of this gas chamber is where some of the richest natural gas wells in the U.S. are located. This “huge building” is the first tie-in and tap to these gas wells, reveals an Oregon trenching professional who has seen absolutely no “tie-in” there for twenty years. There is a duplicate facility at Goat Mountain, Oregon. Both facilities are 50 miles equidistant from Portland. A maximum 85,000 people per day can be murdered in these underground facilities.
From the air, because of the tree covering over the Mist underground gas chamber, an engineer who was called to the site reports. “You’d have to be looking with something very elaborate. They are so careful with how they’re working with ground restoration it’s bizarre. Right down to the last blade of grass.”
The engineer continues, “There is a 24-inch underground gas pipe with webbing systems inside and another 8-inch specialized fiber optic cable conduit riding on runner things in the center of it. Setting on cradles, the 8-inch is a coated system you can’t even pick up with electronics: it just hides itself inside the gas line. When they start backfilling the trench this gas line is in, there is a 12-inch on top of it. The Rockford Corporation says it’s almost impossible to detect.
Pivoting off of Portland, a six-lane road in a 50-mile “parameter circle” was put in by Asian countries for maximum secrecy. The Japanese and Chinese “inserted money into this ‘golden circle’ for military movement.” The asian work gangs for this six-lane road could not speak english for maximum secrecy. The gas and communication lines - from MIst - loop the Salem area and back up into the Goat Mountain facility, which has black unmarked helicopters flying in after 10:30 p.m. Pacific time, each night, to the Goat Mountain landing area with infrared landing lights. Goat Mountain is not on many U.S. maps.
Thirty white-painted UN buses have been photographed just outside this Goat Mountain facility. It is reported the deeply-underground Oregon state militia have formed “elite commando units” and are watching the gas chambers closely. A former U.S. Army military intelligence officer with the Oregon militia reports the Oregon National Guard is mostly sold out to the NWO and cannot be trusted...

Thanks for the ping!
Scary? Pffft. It takes more than a glib demagogue in an off-the-rack suit to scare B-Chan.
And don’t you be afraid. The house can’t be rebuilt on a solid foundation until the old house falls down — or is demolished. Our job is to steel ourselves to ride out the collapse and be ready for the restoration. Strengthen your family and friendships, keep your eyes open, and stay ready to zig when trouble zags — you’ll be all right.
No matter what the Dear Leader does, Team Chan will survive and succeed. Bet on it.
LOL @ “Obi-Wan Nairobi”.
It is with great sorrow that I agree with you 110%
Thank you for the ping and your critical thinking on this matter.
Yes, I did read them. I've always said communism wasn't defeated, it is alive and well here in the USA.
You're fooling yourself, FRiend.
It seems you and I are the only two that believe this!
Our votes did not count in the 2008 elections, primaries and general, and they damn sure will not count in 2010. That is if we they even pretend to have an election.
I like your way of thinking, as well as your tag line and your moniker:)
Some of us have been saying that long before his big whoppers!
Horrifying. Thanks for the ping.
We did not vote for him, we voted for Sarah Palin!!
This is exactly what I predicted last year
Thanks for the heads up. I wonder if it’s a gas chamber and crematorium all in one? Because it would be a big deal to dispose of 85 thousand bodies a day.
