Forget the polls, forget the focus groups, forget the media. What is occurring in the campaign of 2012 is simplicity itself: Barack Obama has lost the mandate of heaven.

A failing Chinese monarch would easily recognize Obama's current situation. Everything has started going wrong at once. Things that used to work work no longer. Plans, arrangements, allies seem to fade into the mist, tools break, weapons turn on their owners. Every light is red, every parade gets rained on.
Libya and Egypt are simply the latest manifestations (and they aren't over yet -- does anybody really think that al-Q is going to sit back and lay off the man who sends armed drones against them?). Obama has had the worst campaign summer in living memory. Much of it his own doing.

Barack Obama has already had the great misfortune (though he probably didn't think so at the time) of being proclaimed a superhuman entity, one with powers and abilities beyond those of mortal humans. Those powers have been seen to fail, and they are now failing on the most primal level. Everything he touches, whether in North Africa or Charlotte, collapses. His plans misfire, his tools turn to rust, the people who encounter and work for him simply die off. The archetypes are ganging up on Obama.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
To summarize the summary of the summary: people are the problem.
And for the corollary:
Those who elect these people on no account should be allowed to vote
History will record that Obama is universally disliked, nay hated. Across the world everyone is getting their preelection licks in to insure he is dismissed.
Obama will move to Hawaii, play golf, give apology speeches around the world for millions, ghost write books, and be on the board of directors of green businesses.
Obama seems bored with his (first) job and ready to move on.
But don’t feel sorry for a guy poised to be very, very rich for just being a “symbol”.
We conservatives MUST show the liberals that their philosophy is utterly rejected.
No rest, no respite until the Presidency, Congress and Senate are completely conservative -- and remember that after kicking out liberals we need to convert the Rinos...

This is what I dread, multiple foreign policy disasters.
