President Obama said Monday that he would "rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president." He will be lucky if he's not an abject failure. There's usually a reason for a presidency lasting a single term, as Mr. Obama's slow-motion train wreck is demonstrating.
Mr. Obama took office with historically high approval ratings based on a combination of hope for his administration, reaction against President George W. Bush's second-term unpopularity and a degree of irrational exuberance, best illustrated by Newsweek editor Evan Thomas' cultish imageof Mr. Obama "standing above the country, above - above the world, he's sort of God." For his first 100 days, Mr. Obama's approval rating remained relatively high, and the percentage of Americans thinking the country was on the right track grew from about 10 percent the previous October to more than 40 percent.
By May 2009, Americans began to lose confidence in Mr. Obama, and the god began to bleed. The numbers saying the country was on the wrong track crept back upward. Mr. Obama' public approval rating began its great decline, the most rapid of any first-year president, according to Gallup. The decline has been broad and deep; Mr. Obama has lost support nearly uniformly from men and women across all age groups and all incomes.

Therein lies the rub. The Gramscian long march through the institutions has been incredibly successful. In one sense, the American ship of fools needs a major wakeup call - like a major depression or worse, a nuclear terrorism event. Nothing less, I'm afraid, will pry those many eyes and hands away from their American Idol screens and their stupid ass cell phone texting.
Unfortunately, the kind wakeup call that'll get everyone's attention wil lalso kill a lot of us.
President Obama said Monday that he would "rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president."
Don't worry, President Obama, you'll never be either.
Well said. Absolutely true!

I was in high school at the time. The caption under the photo (Rolling Stone Magazine) said “Only J.C. Can Save America”. I’m feeling old. LOL
Wife and I are playing bingo as well. Additionally, we are also betting the over/under of how many times he refers to himself (I,me,my,etc...) Keep your fingers crossed that he goes over 113 references. If so, she pays for dinner Sat nite! Otherwise, I have to sit through some awful movie on Wifetime network.
Amen to that.

You did shred and educate. Thank you for your honest evaluation of our national peril. We can’t ignore and must resist him. What ever you’re doing, keep it up.
Thank you — you provided the ideas that inspired my own assembly of those ideas viewed in a different perspective. As a prism shreds a light beam.
Now for the speech. His sanity will be on display.. Can we compare him to the hard hearted Pharoh Ramses? It is my hopeful expectation is for him to publically go totally whackoo.
What are the facial signs of high doses of beta-blockers?
Total mystery to me . If they can regulate his cranial temperature, he needs them. Not sure any medication can heal loose wiring and blown fuses. God rules and I have faith in his justice as for me, I pray for Obama’s immediate deliverance and judgement day.
Rush Limbaugh mentioned this letter today.
Did Rush take it for face value or see Obama as our nations Cancer?
