The only thing Obama has to offer is destruction and hatred.

That’s because most of his czars are communist and marxists. But I guess that’s no big deal because nobody is looking into it. They are in a perfect position to take this country down and I believe that is their plan.

It was more than a glaringly ineffectual speech, it was a speech of Obama lies from beginning to end.

The only thing Obama has to offer is destruction and hatred, and fear, fear itself....

Communists are Marxsts. So what makes you think Obama isn’t one, too?

From the John Podhoretz column:

It is not a sound strategy for a president to deliver a speech bemoaning the chaos in the Washington over which he presides; such a speech is practically an open admission of impotence. Even people who believe every word he says about everything being the fault of the GOP can hardly think he’s come up with a message on the debt ceiling that has changed the course of the debate in his favor. Democrats have great cause for worry if this is the way he handles things in 2012.

I agree. Obama is unraveling. God works in mysterious ways.

Fear is a part of it.

“I agree. Obama is unraveling.” - Jim Scott

Maybe, but don't underestimate his luck (Napoleon's favorite quality in a general).

He faced a tough election for senate. Then his opponent had a truly bizarre sex scandal. He wins.

He was probably going to lose to Hillary in the primary, and the DNC makes the bizarre decision to strip FL and Michigan of their delegates (after spending eight years complaining how FL voters were “disenfranchised”). Those were two Hilary states, and big ones, in a close election. She loses those precious delegates. He wins.

He insults Hilary voters, picks a fool for a VP, and McCain gets momentum by picking Palin. They take a lead and it solidifies. McCain/Palin had a better than 50% chance according to InTrade, and then the stock-market crashes. Republicans are blamed. He wins.

Note: I'm not implying any conspiracy. I honestly think he's just lucky. And he may stay lucky.

The opposition scandal was sealed in the divorce i believe. I have an idea that was self made luck.

From what I’ve read the candidates ex-wife didn’t want this out. It was only accusations in a dirty divorce. But some judge put it out so obama would be unchallenged.

I believe this is her:
