A Perfect Political Storm Is Heading Straight for Obama and Democrats
FoxNews ^ | September 03, 2009 | Karl Rove

Posted on 09/03/2009 4:19:47 PM PDT by Joiseydude

August was the worst month of Barack Obama's presidency. And he seems to know it--he is now planning to deliver a speech to a joint session of Congress 232 days into his administration in a desperate attempt to save his biggest domestic priority, overhauling health care.

He has already had the budget-busting $787 billion stimulus package, a budget that doubles the national debt in five years, an earmark-laden appropriations bill that boosted domestic spending nearly 8%, and a cap-and-trade energy tax that limped through the House with dozens of Democratic defections (and which has stalled in the Senate). These achievements are unpopular, so they are boomeranging on him.

Of the 46 million uninsured, 9.7 million are not U.S. citizens; 17.6 million have annual incomes of more than $50,000; and 14 million already qualify for Medicaid or other programs. That leaves less than five million people truly uncovered out of a population of 307 million. Americans don't believe this problem--serious but correctable--justifies the radical shift Mr. Obama offers.

1 & 2/3% is moving us to socialism? It's just an excuse - obviously. And folks know it.

Porkulus was bad enough - we are lucky Bambi did not choose Healthculus as his first priority.

I don’t think we should assume that Obama wants anything but the total destruction of the United States.

That goal seems to be proceeding just fine.

He needs to be impeached and removed from office.

What an arrogant bastard!! I don’t remember Presidents addressing a joint session except for the state of the union or to declare war. This socialist thinks he can command any audience he deems necessary to further his facist agenda.
I hope that the republicans boycott the speech. I know they don’t have the cojones to stay away, but, I can dream. I would love to see the chamber 1/2 full!!

It’s too bad. It seems that Obama is going down as the worst president ever in American history.

The Narcissist in chief is no longer adored and glorified so in typical narcissist fashion he is trying to get attention back on himself wherever he can.

This must be another Karl Rove. The Karl Rove who was Bush’s advisor is now working in utter obscurity at Wendy’s. How do I know? Mr Obama’s Green Czar Van Jones said so.

The False God will, God willing, be impeached and he will drag RATs and RINOs down with him.

No. I think he needs to continue in his massive FAIL. People who weren’t around when Carter was President don’t know how bad it can get. They are voting now. They need to be shown. Two or three more months of this and he will not know what has hit him, and neither will the bunch of amateur, America-haters and ideologues in the White House, who will spend the rest of their professional lives trying to explain it away.

King Obama is a communists and has been, with many Democrats, devising ways to place America in a dictatorship. America is saturated with illegals, criminals, and the insane but still they are not the majority. They have successfully used our very Constitution to worm their way into power.
