He is a failed president -- his economy is bleak, his foreign policy bleaker, his vision for American even bleaker still.

No, he is a successful president - his masters are the barbarians who want to turn this country into a third-world socialist hellhole.

He is well on his way to accomplishing that goal, so in his eyes and in the eyes of those who pull his strings, he's wildly successful.

Brilliant assessment and spot on. The lack of a any action coming out of DC is actually a great thing. What keeps me up at night is that Obama is cleverly waiting until after 2014 to do the most damage. They fine tuned the election fraud machine in 2012, they are demonizing Republicans left and right, the Republicans are collapsing like a sun-rotted plastic lawn chairs, and those conservatives among us are waiting for “the first shots” in a CWII that most likely will never come, leaving us looking like radicals.

America is rotted out like a sun-bleached cow skull. We’ve just not yet been picked apart by the world superpowers, but with a significantly reduced and debilitated military, that might not be too far off.

Obama wins because the House and Senate Republicans talk a bug game, but when the clock starts and the House and Senate Republicans vote, they collapse like a house of cards.

The Republicans are like the Washington Generals, each day they play the Globetrotters and the final score is determined before the game begins.

How Obama Wins

---

He wins by being canonized by commies other socialists, fascists, and others hoping for Chaos..

When EBT(welfare) funds dry up there WILL BE chaos in the streets..
How soon?... Whenever the democrats deem to do it..
Could be TOMORROW.. or later today..

Once the grocery stores get flash mobbed the “fat’s in the fire”..
The spiral to chaos begins.. could be very quickly..

The mob(s) will learn quickly how to assemble AND dis-assemble quickly..
by the time the police arrive (if they do).. the mobs will become peaceful citizens again..

When it starts there will be no going back.. it will spiral out of control.. of even the military..
It will start in the big cities..

YOU KNOW... it MUST happen.. and it must..
Any that thinks it WON’T happen is delusional.. shun them..
Spending your way to prosperity is a cartoon..

Don’t be Wiley E. Coyote.. the Acme SAFE is on it’s way..
AND............. you’re not the Roadrunner.. NO!.. you’re not..

As some famous frenchman once said around the time of the bloody French Revolution: "Audacity! Audacity! Audacity!"

After all he wrote the book "The Audacity of Hope" so he's no dope, well er... um... I meant to say (what was I thinking?) Phhhhhht!!!

[Don Corleone]

Rush had a rant on this very subject some time ago. It is right on point. Obama campaigns against all the ‘bad’ things that he has created and then blames others for inaction or complicity. The morons on the left, and I include most of the media, suck this tactic up like candy. Hitler destroyed an entire nation and most of Europe using it. Obama,”USA today, tomorrow...the world”. His father’s dream.

[Yogafist]

It is disingenuous to try to credit Obama for being a great political mind. The media is wholly a campaign arm for Obama and the Democrats and runs interference for him. He gets away with lying without even a raised eyebrow from the people that are supposed to hold truth to power. No matter how ridiculous his claims about the Republicans, the economy, healthcare or anything, the media runs with it like it is fact. Calling Obama a great “knife fighter” in this scenario is like moving the outfield fence in to about 100 feet at a baseball field and calling a hitter the greatest long ball hitter in history because he can check swing homeruns.

[right way right]

So, he picks his fights has a game plan
while the opposition has no organized way to
counter these objectives.

No leadership.
No representation.
No one who will with stand against
the mocking media and fight with plain talk
what is needed to implement
what the second amendment was meant for.

Then Obama began to lose. He wasn't able to push forward climate change legislation or immigration reform or gun control or increased taxes before the election of 2012. And he won a sweeping electoral victory. The strategy was -- and is -- simple. Obama pursues policies that are widely popular and then purposefully sinks them by casting Republicans as obstructionists.

________________

But were those policies "wildly popular"? It looks to me like most of them aren't -- from Obamacare and the stimulus to higher taxes, immigration amnesty and coercive climate change policies. I don't think Obama "purposefully sinks them" either. He doesn't need to. They won't pass whatever he does.

Whatever else Obama may or may not understand, he gets that divided government means that voters don't expect him to do much. For his voters (a little over 50% of the population) it's enough that he isn't a Republican, and that's why he got reelected.

For his people, it's not about climate change or the stimulus. It's about continued access to abortion and no budget cuts -- no rollback of anything government does. And while the president can't get anything else done, he delivers on that for them.

[Amendment10]

Ben Shapiro: "President Obama has only had two major policy victories during his tenure: the stimulus package and Obamacare."

The reason that I ignore so-called "conservative" commentators like Obama guard dog Fx News and Ben Shapiro is the following. Regarding Obama's so-called "policy victory" with Obamacare, all that the Supreme Court's green light for Obamacare proved is that the Supreme Court is just as corrupt as the legislative and executive branches of the federal government are.

This is evidenced by the following excerpts from Supreme Court opinions, previously posted in related threads, where justices who actually respected the Constituton had previously clarified that Congress has no constitutional authority to tax and spend for public healthcare purposes.

"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress (emphases added)." --Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." --Chief Justice Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Justice Barbour later expanded on the "health laws" excerpt above as evidenced by the following excerpt.

"Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description (emphasis added), as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass." --Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln, 1837.

And a decade before Constitution-ignoring socialist President FDR declared war on Constitution-respecting justices, the Supreme Court had again clarified that Congress has no business sticking its big nose into intrastate medical practice.

“Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously beyond the power of Congress.” –Linder v. United States, 1925.

So I'm not buying Mr. Shapiro's remark about constitutionally indefensible federal Obamacare being a victory for Obama.
