Has Obama Peaked? Yes, He Has

To listen to some pundits, Barack Obama's public image began taking a serious beating when the off-year election returns came in a week ago. Or maybe it was the undeserved Nobel Prize, his approach to the war in Afghanistan, or when he revved up his pursuit of national health-care reform.

This sums it all up. A nice Photoshopped modification of a classic line.

Obama’s Nobel was his ‘jump the shark’ moment.

I agree. It was a defining moment in his absurd presidency.

>>OBAMA WILL PROBABLY NOT FINISH HIS 4-YEAR TERM, at least not in a Conventional way.<<

You know, what is really spooky? I’ve been saying that since the beginning of the summer. But that ain’t the half of it. I don’t want to get into the rest of my predictions that have come true in the last three years because it would sound, frankly, arrogant. In fact just saying that does.

I never thought I had a knack for this stuff and I have been wrong on a lot. For example, when I started listening to Obama in the late spring of 2008 I believed there was no way he could get elected because of all the gaffs. I knew a few whoppers were only a few speeches away. But he fixed that with the TOTUS.

I also did not anticipate the current run up of stocks. But a lot of this stuff is what I actually expected. What scares me is that two of my biggest predictions in this lie in what got us out of the GD. And as events have unfolded the last three or four years, I really don’t see any way out of it. I firmly believe I am gonna wake up one morning within the next three or four months and find out NK, Iran, Pakistan, etc. has gone for the “hot” option.

And that will be just the beginning.

Desperate times call for desperate actions - by both people and governments. And some countries right now are very desperate indeed.

He probably peaked in March. It appears his ‘savior’ status bought him enough understanding with the electorate to get ONE big bill through Congress. He chose the ‘stimulus’. He chose poorly.

The stimulus sucked, didn’t work, used up the public’s patience, and effectively ended the honeymoon. Obamacare and Cap and Trade are doomed to failure.

His incompetence in stimulating the economy may have saved our asses from his incompetence in healthcare reform and environmental regulation. Ironic.

He has Congress and the Senate ... and lacks the leadership skills to get anything done. This is what happens when a 1/2 term Senator that doesn’t know anything gets elected ... he’s a well-spoken empty suit with a teleprompter.

LOL! You saved me the posting time. Yes, Obama has jumped the shark in less than a year.

That was the most unbiased accurate assement of the situation I have read.
This guy knows his stuff.

Peaked?
Well, he’s sort like those neat flying machines which seemed like a good idea in the hangar and it taxied great
Then it had to fly.
Then it lifted off, wobbled then went nose in, in a ball of flames.
Afterwards people watch the awful debacle over and over.
Except with 0, We are the test pilots in this heap of junk an WE are going in with the jug eared dope.
Cripes.

OBAMA WILL PROBABLY NOT FINISH HIS 4-YEAR TERM, at least not in a Conventional way. He is such a political HORROR SHOW, and so detrimental to the USA and his Own Democratic Party, that the Democrats themselves will either FORCE him to Resign or figure out a way to have him thrown out. Who knows, maybe he really isn’t a BORN US Citizen and that’s a way the Democrats will be able to get rid of him. [He is a citizen, but not a naturalized citizen with both mother and father being US citizens.]

Yeah right--the same kind of analysis was posted about Clinton in his second term --never happened

Actually, that’s entirely correct.

“The cool black guy” “made history” that day,
and that’s all he’s worth noting for.

Last week’s shout-out speech should go down in history as a political jumped-the-shark moment.

Good points..

I have known from the beginning that Obama would win the election..I should not say win I should say steal,since the only way he got into office was ACORN and their crooked people along with George Soro’s and his money..I have known that Obama’s is going to take us out if we do not do something about him..His purpose is to tare down America and the Christian ways here in this beautiful place..If this is the end for us then I am ready, but you can bet I will go down fighting with ever breath in my body..

I sit and just wonder how we have come to this day..With all the so called intelligent men and women how did we end up with communist and Muslims leaders in this country..You would think after all that has gone down in the past months since the moron took office we would at least have some people that could and would put a stop to this crazy man..

God has taken so much from people here on this earth he has given us our own will and we have run with it..Filth all around us filthy people all around us doing things that are so ignorant..it makes me want to throw up to see what people have become in the name of pleasure...Yes God is letting all do as they please and until we start taking back what is ours and praying and getting rid of filthy people and things he won't help us..So pray people that it is not to late..

All people are sinners. It is just more obvious in some than in others. The reason people are voting the way they are is that it is the natural course of how human beings are wired. It is simply more proof of why we all need Jesus.

That said, there is nothing wrong with defending yourself. Jesus did not tell his disciples to buy a sword for nothing. But there is a big difference between defending yourself and offensively and violently taking on people because they are “bad” by your individual definition of the word. We do not have that right. The government does, and for good reason, though it is fare from infallible.

According to Biblical prophesy, evil must come to full fruition before the Lord will return. Things will get much worse before they get better. And sometimes it is STILL not the beginning of the end. Ask anyone who lived in poland in 1939, or Cambodia in the early 1970’s or a host of other atrocious periods in mankind’s history.
