The stunning decline of Barack Obama: 10 key reasons why the Obama presidency is in meltdown

By Nile Gardiner

The last few weeks have been a nightmare for President Obama, in a summer of discontent in the United States which has deeply unsettled the ruling liberal elites, so much so that even the Left has begun to turn against the White House.

While the anti-establishment Tea Party movement has gained significant ground and is now a rising and powerful political force to be reckoned with, many of the president’s own supporters as well as independents are rapidly losing faith in Barack Obama, with open warfare breaking out between the White House and the left-wing of the Democratic Party.

While conservatism in America grows stronger by the day, the forces of liberalism are growing increasingly weaker and divided.

The reality is, however, that Obama doesn’t care about reality.
All he cares about is irreparably destroying everything the United States has stood for and what made it exceptional in world history.

If he “succeeds” in fulfilling the “Dreams of his Father”, a Communist Muslim, he’ll believe he was successful.

As Limbaugh so controversially noted early in the Obama Regime’s reign: Success for the Obama Administration is the destruction of the United States.

Why would any true American wish success for anyone with the same objectives of those we’ve fought wars to resist in the past?


Well said!

In the story something is noted about the “left wing of the Democratic Party.” Now, I ask you, is there any other wing?

This article is as close to truth as one can be, and Conservative journalists in US should pay attention that once you take histrionics out, the article actually becomes more effective.

However, still not enough reasons given for Obama’s well deserved demise.

Say what you will, but Obama’s victory was big and he had a mandate - reform wallstreet/banking-institutions/lobbyist-influence/End-wars/Prevent-Outsourcing/change-the-Darth-Wader-type-image-of-US

He sold out on each and every issue, except one could argue that people around the world may have softened their image of US, even if it benefits of which are not tangible.

Obama put the EXACT same crew that is RESPONSIBLE for defrauding and Bankrupting our nation, in charge of its treasury. He has signed even more international agreements continued to promote the NWO agenda and betrayed American workers. He is the WEAKEST President in History. No other President has been so submissive to Banking interests.

To make long story short, other than socialist health-care to please his extereme left and socialist bankers (Yes SOCIALIST BANKERS), he has betrayed everyone from either side of the political spectrum. He has turned over our sovereignty to Central bankers.

>>Read all ten reasons. They’re succinct and well documented.<<

I printed it off and gave to a friend at work. I said it was “eloquently stated”. But you are spot on. It is not the information the article contains that makes it special. It is the WAY it is presented. Only a True Believer would take issue with it.

I’m surprised they were able to reduce it down to only 10 reasons.

I think your assessment is right on.

I don’t think he cares to be reelected. He already demonstrates imperial impatience and feels imposed upon to actually lead the United States. He pulled off his Manchurian coup (that’s pronounced “coo”, contrary to our fearful non-leader’s syntax) when he was elected. Beyond that, I agree that his only purpose has been to gum up and damage the country.

Reason #10 is the most significant. Obama doesn’t believe in American exceptionalism. In fact, he hates America as a whole.

Obama's inevitable ultimate failure is as clear as the reason for the past success of the United States: The unwillingness to submit to the authority of the God of the universe on Obama's part, as contrasted with the deliberate intent to seek God's guidance and submitting to it as the primary foundation upon which the nation was created and initially committed to.

That's what it boils down to, plain and simple.

Excellent, accurate picture of Obama’s failure as a pres_ent.

While I applaud Mr. Garner’s insightful commentary, at the same time I wonder why it is that the foreign press, such as that In Canada and the UK, are able to so clearly analyze and document the problems with this administration, when the American media doesn’t see any problems??

By the same token, prior to the ‘08 election, we here at FR were already documenting the looming disaster that an Obama administration would bring.

Can America hear us now??

"He might want to be re-elected, he might not, but I don’t think it burns in him. I think he could take it or leave it, because he knows for the rest of his life he will be considered a historic figure, will get huge ‘fees’ for whatever he does next, and the remainder of his days will be ones of leisure, where his bank account will grow and he will be surrounded only by people who say he’s great."

Although I'm sure Obama loves the adored celebrity status he seems to believe he deserves, I think he may have even bigger goals for his limitless ego.

By surrendering the United States to world authorities such as the U.N. and the W.H.O. while he has the opportunity he may be setting himself up as King Of The World by moving into what would then be a step up.

POTUS would no longer be the most powerful person in the world, but instead Secretary General of the U.N., or some such post.

He's too much of a megalomaniac who, like other similar destructive characters in history, is not satisfied with anything less than the ultimate prize: World domination.

Why stop at 10?

pretty good,
The real reason is he is a liberal.
Liberals reward bad behavior.
Can’t get a job, extend unemployment, gm can’t make a payroll, bail them out, can’t make the mortgage, subsidize the mortgage.
Become successful, raise their taxes. completely backwards.

Good article. All of the reasons are accurate. However, the article’s focus is misplaced.

All the reasons have the embedded premise that Obama’s actions are due to inexperience and naivete. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Obama’s entire life has been dedicated to destroying America. And that is exactly what he has been doing in the Senate and in the White House.

The very first reason listed should have been; “A growing understanding that Obama is the enemy of America, its Constitution, and Liberty.”

When a rabid Marxist Moslem Illegal Alien occupies the White House, traitors control Congress, and Judges flout the Constitution; freedom dies.
