From Audacity to Animosity

I agree that he won’t finish his term, but I think it will be voluntary. I think he will announce that he is resigning to take a “promotion” to some international institution, probably the UN. I think that Obama actually believes that being president of the US is not enough for him, and he’s getting tired of it now.

He probably realizes that he has done about as much destruction as he can, and he also realizes that he is no longer the object of adulation, even by the press. So it’s time for him to move on.

I don’t think there’s a chance in the world that he would be involuntarily removed for any reason, no matter how grave; but I do think that he will simply decide that he’s done with this.

The difference between Carter and Obama though is that Obama is mentally ill whereas Carter was just an idiot.

I was in the coal business when Jimmah took the WH. I can’t tell you how pleased we were when he got kicked out.

[UnChained]

He hasn’t lost the extreme Alinski Marxists.

Whatever hastens the collapse of the dollar and of the US is a good thing. This gives him cover to blame whatever happens on the Tea Party folk.

As for losing his base, it doesn’t matter. Where are else are they going to go?

Just as we would hold our noses and vote for a Rino if that’s all we had as an alternative to Obama, if all these Dems who are now bellyaching about Obama faced a choice between him and a conservative they would never vote for the conservative.

Not only is Obama incurring the wrath of his lefty base right now, but you got to believe that he is also taking incredible abuse and blows from Michelle. I am sure she has just about had it with him and does not let up for one minute.

Peggy has been a PITA* over the past couple of years, but she has beautifully and clearly deconstructed Obama's press conference ("operation wet diaper", according to Rush). At this rate, maybe he will step forward himself to prove he isn't eligible to be President. Imagine having that buffoon Biden in charge.

And neither he nor Michelle really want him there either.

Gotta disagree with you on that one, I think Michelle and Mother Robinson rather enjoy living in the White House, with its limos-at-call, unlimited vacations at the taxpayers' expense, glitzy dinners with heads-of-state, etc.

Hey, for them, this is all one big party! What recession??

I rarely listen to Hannity - waaay too many RINOs on i.e. Tokyo Rove, Newt, Lieberman, etc.

However, when he plays the clips of Ronaldus Magnus speaking, the words still ring true and is exactly what America desparately needs.

see my tagline....

Yeah, that image is kinda scary. Makes you almost feel sorry for the poor devil.

Note I said "almost".
