Isn’t this approaching the “point of no return”?

It’s all down hill from here on out for the evil bastard.

Isn’t this approaching the “point of no return”?

For November yes. The dems don't have enough time to pull out of the nose dive before people start paying attention before the elections. Illinois has stopped paying its bills and California and New York are not far behind. Even the slavishly friendly press can't hide the damage any more.

For a second term there is still time, but i doubt Obama will be able to make use of it. Obama would need a different personality type to pull it off. In the example above Reagen and Clinton were able to pull out a second term after a mid term disaster. But both were self effacing and were able to draw on the good will of the American people to force a hostile congress to support their agendas. Both also backed off their chosen ideology and met congress half way (Reagen didn't cut the budget as he had promised and Clinton ended welfare as we knew it). Obama's professorial lecturing can't connect with the majority of Americans. And his fanatical socialist ideology won't let him bend.

Most importantly Obamas jobs to date have not prepared him to deal with a hostile legislature. In Chicago there are no Republicans. In the Illinois Senate he was part of Dem party with such large majorities that they didn't even need to fear vetoes. His presidency so far had the largest one party majorities in Obama's entire lifespan. Obama has never had to deal with an opposing party that actually had power. He has never had to deal, or compromise. I do not see him as being the type to acquire that skill quickly enough to save him in 2012.

Unfortunately, not with the LSM around to perform CPR.

They would love nothing more than to turn Captain Kickass into the Comeback Kid.
