Let's not go too far. I am not trying to diminish the significance of this result, but let's take it one thing at a time.
IF the conference bill fails, if the economy picks up even temporarily, if BO 'manufactures' a crisis that makes him out to be a hero, then his numbers could bump up a bit.
I do believe, though, that every day a growing number of so-called independents are abandoning any thought of voting for him...they're seeing he is a hoaxter.
But I also think BO and his machine are in long-term planning for voter fraud, "stimulus" payoffs for votes, and other sleazy deals....stay tuned.
[BO ‘manufactures’ a crisis that makes him out to be a hero]
Like what?
Terrorist attack? He’ll get the blame.
Financial or economic crisis? He’ll get the blame.
How about blizzard conditions that put much of the country at a stand still? He’ll be a laughing stock.
I don’t think he can manufacture a natural disaster, although he probably thinks he can since he thinks he can control the weather.
I just can’t think of a crisis Obama could manufacture that would rally people to him.
I agree, they have NO intention of leaving in 3 years. Meeshells’s favorite song:
Well we’re movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Fish don’t fry in the kitchen;
Beans don’t burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin’,
Just to get up that hill.
Now we’re up in the big leagues,
Gettin’ our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it’s you and me baby,
There ain’t nothin wrong with that.
Well we’re movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
“The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.” MO
What Michelle Obama meant to say was that the government was going to have to “take” your piece of the pie. To say that someone is going to have to “give up” a piece of their pie would imply that it was voluntary, which our tax system is not.
These numbers also reflect the left’s anger at Obama over accepting deletion of the so-called “Public Option” from the “health care” debacle, as well as other items like the 5.4% surtax on the “wealthy”.
The number unfortunately can recover when the US Congress manages to pass a bill with those items and others hidden within.
I agree - excellent analysis...
This result, by itself, does not indicate a one-term presidency.
But you also should take into account Obama’s own admission that this health care bill may cause him to be a one term president AND the results of the Orly case that will assuredly bring the birth certificate into play the very minute that Obama files papers to run for re-election.
There is no basis on which the economy could recover in the short term. And if this bill fails (unlikely) people will still remember what he tried to do.
While it is true that he has the MSM in his back pocket, it is also true that the MSM is losing customers in large numbers.
Voter fraud will be a factor, but I think the videotapes will limit ACORN’s effectiveness to less than a 2-3 point bump for the democrats.
If the DNC see dismal numbers for Obama that cannot be beaten with voter fraud, I don’t think they’ll allow him to run. They won’t risk the presidency. I think there’s a better than 50-50 chance he won’t even try to run for another term and there’s a 75% chance that he won’t be president for a second term (run or not run).
While it is bad we have to put the publics view of him as a complete buffoon, a joke, no experience etc.
So if the economy does get better or the media is reporting it as much better when it is not then the seed has already been sown
