Anatomy Of a Failing Presidency (old editorial)
The Fillmore Gazette ^ | Geoffrey P. Hunt

Posted on 03/02/2010 3:23:24 PM PST by Ron C.

Barack Obama is on track to have the most spectacularly failed presidency since Woodrow Wilson. In the modern era, we've seen several failed presidencies--led by Jimmy Carter and LBJ. Failed presidents have one strong common trait-- they are repudiated, in the vernacular, spat out. Of course, LBJ wisely took the exit ramp early, avoiding a shove into oncoming traffic by his own party. Richard Nixon indeed resigned in disgrace, yet his reputation as a statesman has been partially restored by his triumphant overture to China 20.

"self-destruction"

It's nice that he is destroying his own reputation - but, what I want to know is how we take all of HIS MONEY away from HIM!

You got that right! Turn that commie pig out onto the streets without a penny to his name. It would serve him right for destroying the lives of millions of Americans with his tax & spend policies!

That would be better than locking him up in prison - because they feed and medicate criminals. But, I'd rather have a hanging, for crimes committed.

LBJ was not a failed President. He killed JFK and became President which allowed him to avoid prison for previous murder and corruption. He then made FBI Director J Edgar Hoover Director for life to reward him for his part in the coup.

The US Government still lies to hide the coup. That’s a successful Presidency that any Democrat would die to have!

“but otherwise.” ? ? ? ?

Guess you are not up to Beck.
Wilson is Beck’s least favorite president for a good reason - the ultimate Progressive!

Wilson was a demagogue, elitist, anti-semite, and eugenicist ( and a University professor and president - need I say more?) and terrorized free speech unlike anything since Adam’s Sedition Act. Wilson’s grandiose Fourteen Points at the Treaty of Versailles guaranteed the next world war.

A good quick read - http://www.chicora.org/woodrow-wilson.html
For more tune into Beck.

thank you for your further edification of Dr. Who

If anyone needs to know what Wilson stands for - all one needs to know is that . . .

“Van Jones has been appointed a visiting fellow in the Center for African American Studies and the Program in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy at the university’s Wilson School.”

Obama’s occupation of our White House could be a success for our country - okay, I’m dreaming, but bear with me. Suppose he continues down the current path and after four years even the Communist Party USA recognizes how wrong Obama has been and thus how wrong their objectives have been. Wouldn’t it be nice if he taught this generation and the next generation that freedom is a good and valuable asset, one worth protecting at all costs?

Yeah... it would be nice. But the problem is that this generation, and the next are already so far gone and demonstrating no ability to learn anything in any fashion, I fear no gain whatsoever will come from this lesson.

0bambi has no (zero) tacit knowledge of our society or history.

That’s for sure... the screwy thing about him is that he doesn’t WANT to know anything about our history or about our society... he just wants to screw us as much as possible!

"There remains a core of citizens who see in Obama the fulfillment of their contempt for this nation. They think they would not be dismayed to see the economy collapse and blood run in the streets."

Very, very true! Obama and the US-hating left speak the same language, are on the same page, and know they are on the same page. This country will have to be a whole different country for the race and sex socialists to start to love it (don't forget all those nasty slave holders who wrote the Constitution which makes the Constitution basically evil in the eyes of the modern left). They and Obama both understand exactly what he is trying to do to America.
