Obama Catches Barking Dog Syndrome

The disease that is the unmistakable sign of a president on the cusp of losing his re-election to the Land of Oz that is a second term in the White House. A looming loss always signaled by the telltale barking dogs of American politics.

What is Barking Dog Syndrome? What sets the dogs off? For that matter -- just who are these barking dogs in the first place?

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

All of the articles on here today from the Chicago Trib telling Obama to not run for re-election, to liberals talking about a primary challenge to Obama, to the joke of Attack Waaaatch.com, all reminded me of this article that I read earlier this week. I like it!

Thumbs up!

This was apparent, internally, when OBama had to play the IKO (I killed Osama) card 19 months before the election, no?

ZERO: A barking Dog that can only bark with the help of a teleprompter.

The onset of BDS is always marked by the appearance of one of two red flags -- and sometimes both at the same time: Political incompetence or ideological intransigence.

In this case we have economic incompetence and ideological intransigence as red flags.

I dont really believe he was intended to seek another term, this was the planning. He set into motion very unpopular programs and scams bow out and allow the second coming to continue the utopian dream. Like the infestation of islam in the west, it is a slow patient process with desirable ends for the victor.

His new ‘Buffett Rule’ tax against the wealthy is a sure sign of political desperation. He’s playing the class warfare card to try to get the libs back into his corner. However, when next month’s unemployment number turns upward, another tax-the-rich scheme isn’t going to matter. His ideological big government policies will never increase the number of productive jobs in this country and everyone knows it by now. He’s in big political trouble.

I remember 1979 when Ted Kennedy showed up in Iowa to challenge Jimmah Cahtah for the presidency. A more goofball campaign cannot be imagined.

Click to hear Obama -- ''In a ditch''
Click to hear ''Taking over'' and Obama -- ''Made enough money''
Click to hear ''Gonna help me''
Click to hear Obama -- ''Love me''
Click to hear ''Rainbow Stew''
Click to hear Obama -- ''That's old''

The author is a poor writer. He uses sentence fragments for emphasis. He should learn how to use a semi-colon and the dash.

What are they teaching students in journalism school these days? It seems to be a factory for churning out liberals who can’t think or write.

Poor Obama....he's out there sweating and pushing cars out of ditches and....

I'm just sitting hear sipping on my Slurpee.

"hear" = "here"

Good grief...I need more coffee.

All of this started out with Obama as the dog.

Obama’s Presidency could be summed up as a dog chasing a car. He caught the car. Now what?

And then there’s the loudest barking of all: sarcastic ridicule from the American people: see the Attack Watch tweets. The guy is becoming a joke and a caricature - and that is indeed fatal.
