Obama dangerously close to a 'Killer Rabbit' moment
Chicago Tribune ^ | August 19, 2011 | John Kass

Posted on 08/20/2011 5:22:55 AM PDT by Zakeet

Is President Barack Obama on the verge of being attacked by a bunny wabbit?

Absolutely.

All the signs suggest that Obama is in immediate danger of a rabbit attack. It would ruin what's left of his presidency. And it would horrify Democrats by ushering in, say, a President Bachmann.

It might happen while he's on that ridiculous vacation of his. Obama is chilling at some exclusive multimillion-dollar estate on Martha's Vineyard, even as thousands more Americans hit the unemployment lines, and as Republicans like Michele Bachmann make wild-eyed, crazed claims about bringing back $2 per gallon gas.

"I think it's a little too early yet for the president to be attacked by a rabbit," cautioned a veteran Chicago Democrat wise in the ways of Obama. "But it's close. Real close."

Anyone who thinks Obama is safe from a rabbit attack has forgotten what happened to President Jimmy Carter In 1979. Carter was attacked by a swimming rabbit, and the subsequent "Killer Rabbit" stories helped destroy his presidency. It led to the election of Republican Ronald Reagan in a landslide and an unprecedented economic revival.

There are eerie similarities.

Even the media will no longer be able to shield him.

I hope you are right!

The next election is a little over a year away. The next President can undo what this one has done with a new set of executive orders. The saving grace in this is that government moves so slowly. Had he done this day one of his administration the damage would have been far worse.

In a way I feel sorry for Carter. How would like to be compared to Obama?

It is already starting. Once just ONE liberal MSM outlet starts they will all go and follow. They fight over that liberal crowd for ratings. They can ignore Fox because it isn’t in their demographics, but they can’t ignore each other.

Get the popcorn my FRiend when it starts getting good, it will be a sight to behold.

We just had a government beaurocrat arrest a little girl for nursing a woodpecker back to health. Pretty close.

At that point, he may start using the powers of Executive Order to institute things that couldn't pass Congress.

You mean like declaring amnesty for illegal aliens?

I don’t want to completely defend Obama, but is he really as bad as President Carter

He's worse. Far worse. Carter did some stupid things, but this guy is diabolically adept at doing the worst thing for AMerica, evry time. Moreover, he seems to see no limit to his power, and is driven by what appears to be hatred of Caucasians and Western Civilization. His contempt for protocol and his incessant vacationing make Carter look like Bob Cratchett, as far as work goes, and his living the high life--conspicuously--on the dime of an America with record numbers of unemployed (without cooking the books).

Even Carter wasn't that classless.

At best Obama is an embarassment to the United States of America, at worst, an enemy.

And I fear, when his whole 'messianic' trip falls glaringly flat on its face, I think things will get really ugly.

Great explanation, but it wasn't quite what I was getting at. It's a John boat. And you're supposed to say "oars" with a cockney accent. :-)

I think the rabbit had little to do with Reagan beating Carter. Stagflation had more to do with it, and the Panama Canal, and Iran, and appeasing the Russians (SALT II)followed by Afghanistan. And then there was the famous “malaise speech”:

That’s not a canoe like the writer claims; it’s a John boat.

The picture is Obama. The author is talking about Carter. Carter was in a canoe, I believe.

You know it’s the worst case and you don’t fear, you KNOW things will get really ugly.

They don’t know a rifle from a shotgun or a boat from a ship, how would they know a canoe from a John boat?

I guess he got it from Laura Ingram...

This should be posted prominently here on FR (if it has not been already) - do you agree? I don’t know all of the “rules” - is it ok to post a link from the Blaze?
