Forget the myth of an Obama recovery. The past week has been disastrous for the White House and Americas increasingly disillusioned Left. No wonder the angry and desperate Vice President Joe Biden is talking about playing hell if his party suffers defeat in November.
Here are five reasons why the Obama presidencys outlook is getting significantly worse, not better:
1. A new Gallup poll suggests the November mid-terms could result in the biggest victory for Republicans in the House since 1894
Gallups latest poll is absolutely devastating in its analysis of the Democrats prospects for November 2, projecting a 13 point lead for the Republicans based on higher overall turnout, and a staggering 18 point lead if turnout is low. In Gallups view:
If there is a widely disproportionate skew in turnout toward Republican voters and their national vote lead ends up being in the double digits, the Republican gains would be very substantial.
As leading election analyst Michael Barone noted, the Gallup numbers suggest it looks like 1894, when Republicans gained more than 100 seats in a House of approximately 350 seats. If the Gallup poll proves accurate, we could be looking at a GOP victory in the House of Representatives of absolutely historic proportions, a scenario frightening enough to give even the most seasoned Obama White House adviser nightmares.
2. The Senate now hangs in the balance
Rasmussens latest projection has both the Democrats and Republicans with 48 seats in the Senate, with Florida moving into the solid GOP camp, and West Virginia moving from toss up to leans GOP. Four states (all Democrat) are now in the toss-up category: California, Illinois, Nevada and Washington...

What concerns me is that several of the pivotal races (Nevada, for example) are so close, that I am very suspicious that they will be determined by voter fraud- something the pollsters probably do not factor in to their data.
1-There are billions in investment capital sitting on the sidelines, among individuals, corporations, and banks.
2-The automobile sector has 4 years now of accumulated pent-up demand.
3-The dollar is so low American goods and services sold to foreign markets are cheaper than ever.
4-Unlike previous recessions, real interest rates and inflation remain relatively low,
There are many factors working against an economic revival, chief among them the uncertainty in the tax and regulatory climate, and the Supreme's ruling that EPA could regulate CO2-this must be reversed immediately upon Republicans taking over. But the question is not will there be a substantial up-tick, just when it will occur.
I think it will happen fairly soon after the election, while he's still in office.
If Obama draws swords, he will be seen as an enemy of the people's will to reverse this debacle, and will be impeached.
I was hoping for an impeachment,but a medical discharge would do the job.
Only problem,the man without a brain assumes the office then.
I believe your analysis is on target. I posted an earlier comment that the image of Pelosi with that obscene gavel, her head thrown back in laughter, will contribute largely to her political doom.
I cannot overstate how much I wish tar and feathering was still in vogue.
Isn’t that Michael Ansara?
Barack Hussein is a total Fraud and a black spot on the image of Jackasses everywhere! That his Fraudulent and illegitimate Administration is falling apart is great news for America and Our Freedoms!
No days off until Obama and Co. are in handcuffs doing a perp walk.
You have to go across the Atlantic to find a newspaper that tells it like it.
On the economic front, the news has been unremittingly grim for the Obama administration over the past few days. The latest jobs data shows that a net 95,000 US jobs were lost in September, significantly higher than the 57,000 jobs lost in August. Unemployment also rose to 10.1 percent, up from 9.3 percent in August and 8.9 percent in July according to Gallup. Among Americans aged 18 to 29, that figure was 15.8 percent.
The influential Investors Business Daily is now warning that the United States wont recover the more than 8 million lost jobs until March 2020:
At this years pace, the U.S. wont recoup all those 8.36 million lost jobs until March 2020 147 months after the December 2007 high. That would obliterate the old post-World War II record of 47 months set in the wake of the 2001 recession.
Why the pic of Michael Ansara?
Three Horrifying Facts About the US Debt Situation
Pleasant dreams people. Basically our govt is BK. Bernanke believes there is no way out of this crisis except keep printing tons of paper. Feeling better now ___ ?
You are right.
Things never get so bad that you cannot serve as a horrible example.
Nancy and the big gavel will always be the horrible example.
I am sure that “the man without a brain” (I like that) can be flushed when he is faced with a credible criminal charge that he responds to with the “everybody does it” defense.
Even if we do win the House, the jury is still out on what (if anything) can be done. Remember, 2/3 needed to override a Presidential veto.
I'm a woman, 5'2’, and not very intimidating. I worked in a state hospital for six years, and was a psychiatric specialist in the Army.
Here's an example: A young black woman who knew karate barricaded herself in a small room. When I pushed open the door she was in a Karate stance. I immediately started laughing at her. She was baffled, act fell apart. Life went on. I learned on “the street”, when someone catches you off guard, get in their face, get mad, and don't act weak.
The streets are more dangerous,now, than when I was doing that sort of thing. Now I carry. But, I would sure like to see that happen to Obama. He is a weak, spoiled, coward. There is no real fight in him. Just puff. He just happens to be in position to order people around.
The POTUS screwed the pooch in 2 years.I really think that the good Lord made him POTUS to show us how screwed up we were and now its time to change.
The first step in a long march. Patriots also need to focus on taking back local governments from the leftists infesting local town councils and county boards. Especially watch for local governments pushing the UN sustainability scams. They’re nothing more than a naked effort to destroy private property rights.
Obama's first choice was Tuscany but Phillips wouldn't bite... Id appreciate a little break, and some Tuscan sun. Some pasta. I can use it.
As I told my sister, Reagan with Alzheimer’s was a better president than Obama (allegedly sane).
Absolutely correct. The euphoria regarding a Republican win of “epic proportions” being bandied about by the pollsters is just more wool over the eyes of the droves of American sheeple much too much in a hurry for any excuse to throw a tailgate party and get drunk.
And boy do our enemies the media and the elite know just how to play us proles. Contract With America Redux!!!!! How many “Republican” routs at the ballot box have we had in recent memory, and what has been the result of each one? Talking points for the pretty heads on the tube to increase market share ratings for more advertising dollars, that’s what!
A month into the “new regime” the Democrats enlist street-fighting tactics and take the Repubs to the cleaners while the Repubs, thrown on the defensive, continue a blind adherence to Marquis of Queensbury rules. Then the Repub “vanguard” falls on its sword and self-destructs with a slavish claim to “honor”. See? We aren’t like Charlie Rangell or Barney Frank! We leave!
Being the party of the “generous victor”, it stupidly offers an olive branch to the “vanquished” Democrats, magnanimously offering to “share power” and to be “all-inclusive” and to “reach across the aisle in a spirit of bipartisanship” and sing Kumbaya. Yes Republicans love their enemies! As soon as the Repubs gain an upper hand, they cannot WAIT to either give it away—or have it taken from them.
Folks, put the beer bottle down for a second. Losing one’s country ain’t the same as losing a football game or a NASCAR race. You DON’T get to come back next fall to try again. Read the Bill Of Rights. It’s the instruction manual written by the founders. It came with the country.
It’s not just about CHANGING THE OIL every four years. Under trouble-shooting, it tells you exactly what you need to do to fix the thing when it has stopped working correctly. Yes it’s a pain in the ass. It’s sloppy. And you get your hands dirty. And you can even get BURNED. And sorry but there’s no OnStar rep to call. Except for God. He may or may not take the call. But we disregard those instructions at our mortal peril.
