A President In Over His Head Should Resign
IBD Editorials ^ | August 10, 2011 | DOUG MACKINNON

Posted on 08/10/2011 4:57:46 PM PDT by Kaslin

As our economy continues to self-destruct; U.S. credit is shockingly downgraded; home prices remain at historic lows; unemployment rises; small businesses continue to close their doors; public-employee-bloated cities, towns, states and employers continue to default; race riots flare, Mexican drug cartels cross our sovereign border at will to establish ultraviolent operations; test scores for public school children continue to plummet; the health care system falls under the control of a failed socialist model; terrorism rises, and the world outside our borders spirals into deeper and more dangerous chaos, a serious and very legitimate question needs to be asked:

In the best interests of our nation and the American people, should President Obama resign his office?

Supporters of the president will be offended by the very question and more than likely fire the usual "racist" accusations my way. But it's a question that at least needs to be debated.

Even if Obama loses the election in November 2012, he will still remain in office until Jan. 20, 2013. If, as many people now believe, Obama is in way over his head and dramatically ill-equipped to handle the critical responsibilities of his office, then it seems logical to assume he can still do quite a bit more damage to our nation from now until then.

As to why he is so far over his head and so unqualified to be president, one of his strongest supporters just outlined the answer in a lengthy article for the liberal (and Obama-defending) New York Times.

In the piece, Drew Westen, a committed liberal, articulated his hopes and disappointments of Obama. By doing so, he (in a Nixon-going-to-China moment) pinpointed exactly why the Obama administration has been such an unmitigated disaster.

If you read between the line, that is exactly what it says.

Sure, but when does that happen?

Politicians are very competitive people and don't easily admit they're in way over their heads.

Even if some part of Obama was fed up and wanted out he won't quit, and he'll run in 2012, because not running would also be considered a confession of failure.

I suggest a petition requesting resignation. He will not resign but if enough sign it may have a sobering effect.

In the end, it won't work IMHO because regular Americans will rise up in anger.

WHEN? Everyday we are bombarded with more loss of freedoms & the sheeple still do NOTHING.

Neither Clinton or Obama had a father around to teach them that: `A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.’
As a result, at 60 and 50 years of age they remain boys.

Boy would resign only if a delegation of RAT Senators paid him a courtesy visit and told him: “Adios muchachos, pack up, boy!”

They must be smoking some potent stuff at IBD if they really think that Obama would: 1 fire Biden, 2 appoint a competent VP, and then 3 resign. We’re more likely to get hit by a wandering black hole from another galaxy.

that sounds like something a liberal would say. A lot of people who live off investment income have already put in their long years of work. And even those who never have worked are there because of the hard work of those before. So please, keep the class envy to a minimum. It’s unbecoming.

Obama and Biden are philosophical soul mates. Both are equally evil.

Which is why Urkel picked Bidet to be his running mate.

Come to think of it, wasn't it Bidet who said the Presidency does not lend itself to on-the-job training during one of the debates?

About the only truth spoken at any of those ludicrous exhibitions.

Obama is a sociopathic narcissist. He will never, ever resign.

He’s not going to quit.

He’s going to use his powers of enforcing our election laws to assure that he steals another 4 years.

In over his head? Perhaps everything is going according to plan. Alinsky's and Cloward-Piven's plan is being followed to the letter.

I am dismayed how few seem to realize this about Obama. The clues were there before the election. Note his conversation with Joe the Plumber about redistribution of wealth. Rush was spot on when he said "I hope he fails." It took me a while to believe that someone who has reached the Office of the Presidency of the US could be so diabolically focused against the best interest of the country. I no longer believe that any democrat politician can be trusted to be any different from Obama.
