A Broken President
American Thinker ^ | November 11, 2010 | Geoffrey P. Hunt

Posted on 11/11/2010 7:34:12 AM PST by kingattax

As the nation swept the Democrats to the curb on November 2, the sheer relief of having been rescued from consignment to a collectivist dustbin was a blast of pure oxygen. Obama was not only crushed; he was disowned.

While the absolute gains in Congress and State Houses all across the country were stunning enough, it was the speed of the about-face that was astonishing and epic.

Just two years ago, Obama was hailed as a 21st-century Lincoln, the figurative progeny of FDR and JFK combined. The finest dramatic speech-maker since Sir John Gielgud dominated the Shakespearean stage.

The most gifted political orator since Winston Churchill and Martin Luther King. The long-awaited enlightened emperor who would soothingly heal rifts abroad, seamlessly ushering in a new era of social justice while effortlessly repairing a broken economy at home.

A Broken President raised in a broken family possessing a broken moral compass whose goal has always been to shatter America into a 300 million pieces.

This so-called “leader” has all the compassion of a crocodile, wisdom of crack addict, and ethics of the devil himself.

Another failed communist on the trashheap of history. Ubama must be flushed away in 2 years and made into a footnote, the Millard Fillmore of students in the year 2100. Ubama must always be seen as an accident of history, because that’s exactly what he is, to America’s shame.

LOL!! Just read these scathing truths from the article: How insulting to Indian lawmakers to witness in their own chamber that Obama was no orator -- just a mere speech-reader, carrying his teleprompter like an IV drip, the first-ever orator in that body to require the mechanical cue cards.

Our hapless president was outdone only by the excesses displayed by his wife. More diamond-studded belts and broaches and wear-only-once satin dresses and shopping bags bursting at the seams while two out of ten of her broke fellow Americans endure another day out of work waiting for the sheriff to serve foreclosure papers.

The kind of stuff you will NEVER read or hear from the MSM!!

BULLSEYE! A magnificently articulated assessment!

(" carrying his teleprompter like an IV drip") ROFL!

Obama is (gag) exceptional in many areas: the first affirmative action President, the first to carry a teleprompter wherever he goes. The first anti-American President, the President who has run up the most national debt, hired the most Czars, and presided over the worst recession and jobless period since WWII. Has caused the biggest mid-term loss for Democrats since the 1930's, etc, etc. His wife has taken more expensive vacations than any other First Lady.

Was this post-Midterm trip Obama's last hurrah, a condemned man gorging on his favorite meal? No, it's his elitist contempt for Americans---his way of sticking his finger in our collective eye because he holds us in such contempt.

The scathing truth of the matter; Clearly EVERY gesture, EVERY word, EVERY reflex, EVERY instinct of both 0bamas is designed to mock, ridicule, and debase their #1 Enemy: The United States of America.

I predict that if the House launches a significant number of investigations directed at him in 2011, his approval level will hit 60% before the elections in 2012.

This guy was surgically placed into our system by the MSM.

Absolutely, and that's what is different about this particular President. Certainly there have been media enthusiasms since JFK but this particular time the sense of "making history" with a regard toward a mixed-race President and a deep-seated antipathy toward Bush appear to have swept away all sense of responsibility and skepticism on the part of most of the media. And most are yet to recover, which is why the Tea Parties are such a mystery to them.

What we have as a result, as is becoming painfully obvious, is an actor playing the role of President. What we have here is a perfect model of diversity programs everywhere - a President with a portfolio of desirable external characteristics and very few of the actual abilities. But he can read a script. On the stage that's good enough. This is real life.

Is there a single domestic initiative remaining — energy, labor, environment, taxes, or social justice — where his brand of collectivist big government solutions will have the ear of the American people and the votes in Congress? And he doesn't have the votes in the Senate to name any more Supreme Court justices. We are a nation without a president.

Hyper-gloating ping!

Last night on MSNBCs “Last Word with LO'D” Lawrence showed a poll that said Pelosi has a 9% approval rating with independents to two House liberals and asked them if it was time to step aside for the good of the D party, and they freaked out yelling at him. He asked “Could you stop the spin for a moment and just talk to me?” They blamed the Pelosi Democrat House losses on Obama for being too moderate and claimed that those that stuck with Pelosi on all issues won (of course, they were in safe seats stupid.) . Both LO'D and Matthews are signalling that the Pelosi wing may destroy Obama’s presidency.

That exchange shows what a political problem Obama has: If he compromises with Republicans to get independents back his liberal base will turn on him (the coming tax cut/extension is a great example, prepare for lots of liberal weeping and moaning.)

As I said earlier :
1) Motivate the Republicans base to vote
2) (De)motivate the Democrat base to not vote
3) Don't trust either party

*** I am usually NOT in favor of new laws, BUT . . . A federal statute requiring ... ***

A slight problem. That law would be unconstitutional.

Now I know that Barry and his merry band of commieRATS don't give a 'dang' about the U.S. Constitution, but we do.

But your idea IS GOOD. It just needs to be addressed and enacted by every state and territory. Then, it would pass constitutional muster. And iirc, about 12 States ARE writing and passing laws like that. But then we need every individual Secretary Of State and/or Election Board to enforce it.

Which here in IL (and other blue controlled states) will happen when pigs fly. Case in point: Rahm's ILLEGAL run for mayor of Chicago. He's already been 'deemed' a "resident of Chicago" by a RAT election commissioner.

In a perfect world Barry would have had to show his 'papers' when he ran for US Senate.

Obama has all the compassion of a crocodile, wisdom of crack addict, and ethics of the devil himself.

That would make a superb tagline.

No problem. I don’t trust the RINO hierarchy so I don’t trust the party either ;-)

I wonder at what point the DNC will deem Obama a loser in 2012 and bring out the long knives.

I don't think they can, even if they wanted to. As long as he is overwhelmingly supported in the black community, they don't dare.

They could try to educate the black community about his fake black man credentials, but then they'd run the real risk they would stray off the DemocRAT plantation permanently.
