Obama Is Stuck
Thursday, January 21, 2010 | cc

Posted on 01/21/2010 6:39:02 AM PST by canuck_conservative

Can't go forward by ramming thru legislation, cause he lost his Senate supermajority.

Can't go back, cause he got all those angry leftists ready to kill him if he retreats.

Obama Is Stuck.

How about Papa Doc Barack?

Well he did teach a Constitutional Law class as a guest speaker, so lets give him a Doctorate for that effort and send him to Haiti. I don’t think the Haitian are too rigorous in their educational standards so who would notice the absence of transcipts when awarding a Doctorate? Okay, its now “President for Life PaPa Doc Barack a da da.”

I dont agree with this. We would be stuck with what they passed, forever.

The dems are toast, anyway. Tuesday proved that. We dont need the bill, that could hurt all of us, just to prove a point. The point has been proven already. Now, set that damned bill on fire..and go on some vacation. I hear Haiti is nice this time of the year.

I fully expect some RINO to throw over to the dark side at the last minute. Snowe, Gramnesty, et al. We’re not out of the woods yet.

I would vote in favor of Obamacare for $300 million cash. I'm sure, there are several GOP senators who would turn for substantially less.

... I put the odds of Fauxbama having articles of impeachment written up against him and pushed by his own party at at least 50/50 if not higher, as they try to separate themselves from the radioactive millstone around their necks that is this administration in order to save their party ...

This is where the many predictions about Bam’s narcissism start to become a possibility. The general idea was when Bam was “rejected” he would become unstable and unpredictable. He might just cave, he might get angry and lash out, he might just fade away, who knows. He is certainly unable to morph into something else like Bubba did in the mid 1990s.

My guess is that he will do something to be loved again, it does not take a genius to figure out how to drive your popularity numbers up. Just look at the highest approval ratings for presidents for the last 20 years.

I do believe you are correct, Demos do not like to be out of power, they do not like to lose. I would not be surprised if the birther thing started to get some more traction and press or even threats on his life. Both of these are convenient as they can be blamed on the “right”.

Bam is at a crossroads, just about everyone is screaming at him. The hard left because he moved to slowly, the middle left because they are in big trouble politically and everyone else because he is an abject failure. He needs to lead right now, it is not in his background or history to do so.

Are you kidding? If nothing else, Bill and Hill both have fully working brains. They have been waiting for this, because they KNEW it was coming. Never underestimate those two.

He was stuck before the election too.
So was Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of them supporting health insurance/care ‘reform’.

Their constituents either don’t want ANY government involvement in health insurance/care reform, or they want TOTAL government control of health insurance/care.

They are pleasing neither side. They’ve been in this situation since the beggining ... only they are too dense to have recognized it and too arrogant to listen to their constituents.

IMO there will be a bill. Obama and the Dems need one to save face. Now the question is what will be in it. I hope the GOP doesn’t fall for the trap of being part of a watered down bill just to demonstrate that they can be constructive and work with the Dems on health care reform.

Fauxbama is now politically a lame duck, and rapidly becoming a man without a country.... and he does not have the content of character to withstand it.

He’s not going to get a OKC bombing to save him, any act of terrorism against the US will be blamed on him and his policies, so he doesn’t even get that out. He can’t morph, because he’s shown his true stripes, no one will buy it.

He has no support left politically, jews are even turning on him, only blacks remain somewhat loyal, but even their support is waining.

If November is the slaughter its looking like, and he is truly incapable of truly realizing HE AND THE POLICIES OF THOSE WHO PULL HIS STRINGS ARE THE CAUSE, he will self destruct. All the illegal and immoral things his administration has been doing that have been covered up and protected because of the Dems majority, will suddenly blow up, and it won’t be because of Republican investigations, but from Democrats leaking it to get rid of this guy and save their party from the devestation this guy has wrought upon them.

This guy does not have the content of character to survive without everyone around him stroking his ego, and the fall has begun.

I put the odds at 50/50 if not higher that democrats will push impeachment against this buffoon at some point in 2011 if the November elections go the way I believe they will.

Maybe not. You know their habit. Blame the republicans, blame bush, now, they can even blame brown. They are now turning on each other. Thats not good for them..but real good for us.

A month ago, I thought we were doomed. Now? I am not that sure.

This year has been full of surprises, along with the stress. It wouldnt surprise me in the least if this bill goes away.

If you ask me..he looks like he is already about to have a nervous breakdown. He doesnt look so hot.

I get the feeling that something is gonna happen to shorten the 3 years he has left.

He does not have the content of character to face adversity of any sort, let alone the political isolation he is heading for. His collapse will be absolute and stunning, like I said, if November goes the way I expect it, impeachment at the pushing of Democrats is at least a even odds, if not higher.

He and his handlers painted themselves into a corner, and this fool, is, was and always will be an empty suit, with a giant ego. He cannot survive without being constantly stroked, and he’s becoming a man without a country.

The best case for him is a 3 year lame duck, reality is, he likely can’t grasp that, and will try to continue to push his leftist ideological crapola, and become more and more irrellevant, isolated and wind up being forced out of office by his own party because they don’t want the toxic millstone that is this administration around their neck.

If November is the bloodbath I believe it will be, and if Fauxbama continues his “I am the reason for the moon and the stars and the sun above” act, and I don’t think he is capable of changing his act, because that’s his character, he’s done.

The stuff he’s done already, include countless unconstitutional and impeachable acts, none of them of course are covered because the Dems have provided flack, but once Pelosi, Reid et al are no longer calling the shots, and the party is in complete turmoil as the radical socialist leadership faces its coup from within the party. I believe that the odds are even or better, that democrats themselves will draw up and push for impeachment of this fool.

The blood is in the water, the sharks are circling, the MSM no matter how much they love socialism, will not be able to prevent themselves from being what they are, and once the blood in the water hits critical mass, its over for this administration.

Could be. Reid and Pelosi also have to be more than a little concerned about their future. Dr Dean is too stupid and stuck on hard left to do anything. I suspect a major house cleaning before the 2010 elections, this is their only chance. What else are they going to do anyway, pass CapNTax and insure their demise?

Well, I believe the purge will be a result of, not a lead up to the 2010 elections.

Pelosi may possibly be forced to resign the speakership prior to the elections depending on how fast things move. She has made a lot of enemies with the way she has operated, its not impossible this could happen.

Its all a matter of how quickly things develop and move, if they do quickly she could be gone from the speakership rapidly, if more slowly it ends either with her losing her re-election to the house entirely, or by not being re-elected speaker (either by Dems not holding the house, or dems refusing to re-elect her). Odds are right now probably best that she won’t be forced out and will win re-election to her seat, but not to speakership. However the entire situation is incredibly fluid, the brown election has completely undermined the foundations of Washington politics as they existed.

Reid will not win re-election to the Senate, let alone any leadership role. Pelosi, odds are, will win re-election to the house in the fall, (though even that is not guaranteed the way things are going, if health care doesn’t happen after all the promises etc, she may face a backlash even in San Fran among her liberal constituents, and an emboldened Republican base, even in San Fran and not get re-elected to the house at all) but even if Dems hold the house, she will not be re-elected speaker.

Basically the axis of evil (Pelosi/Reid/Fauxbama) are politically dead men walking.
