The last few weeks have been among the worst of Barack Obama’s time in office, recalling earlier periods of turmoil for the president in 2010 and 2011, when his ratings also plummeted. In 2013, the situation is significantly worse for the White House, with the Obama administration engulfed in a series of major scandals (IRS persecution of conservative groups, the Benghazi debacle, and the Justice Department seizure of journalists’ phone records) that are not only eroding trust in government but also in the office of the president itself. This is undoubtedly a period of steep decline for the Obama presidency, whose imperial-style big government approach is being increasingly questioned not only by American voters, but also by formerly subservient sections of the liberal-dominated mainstream media. In contrast to his first term, Barack Obama is finding himself less and less shielded by the press, and far more vulnerable to public criticism.

Pride goeth before the fall.
Exactly right.
I don’t see that Obama has that much of a problem. A lot of people are acting outraged, blowing a lot of hot air, but doing absolutely nothing of consequence. I think Obama also knows damn well nobody is going to do anything but make noise, and so he is not worried. About half the country still worships him, and that’s about the way it always has been. He’s pretty good at ignoring outraged Republicans, he knows they are impotent.
He’s going to be mightily humbled.
It's dawning on some in the news media that “rock star” may not be the ideal quality for a chief executive. Instead of a president they helped elect a $400,000-a-year event planner.
A. Lincoln was a strong believer in the virtue of dealing honestly with people.
“If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens,” he told a caller to the White House, “you can never regain their respect and esteem.”
And then he concluded with the words familiar to most of us:
“You can fool some of the people all of the time ........ “.
Obama’s like the attractive cowgirl sitting at the bar, charming the hands:
As pretty as she looks, some other cowboy is sick and tired of putting up with her bull s***.
He’s run out of time; enough people are sick & tired of his BS.
His arrogance and defiance could spell his own demise.
Ten Reasons?
1. He’s a lying sack of Marxist sheeite who wants to destroy America.
2. The same as one.
3. The same as two.
And so on.
You’re right. Arrogance and defiance are a bad combination and he’s in for a bad ending.
It’s going to be fun to watch his meltdown. I just hope he drags down Hillary and the Democrat Party too.
Every time this a-hole of a president has gotten out of bed and put his feet on the floor has been a bad day for America.
It’s going to be fun to watch his meltdown. I just hope he drags down Hillary and the Democrat Party too.
Hitlery won’t let him drag her down and the Dems will abandon him before they allow him to drag them down. IMO
If so, Hillary has little chance of winning in 2016. It’s like the Goerge W. Bush predicament. Democrats are stuck with Obama and they’ll be blamed for bringing him into the White House. Hillary served as Secretary of State during Benghazi. Blood is on their hands and no matter how hard they try to wash it off, it won’t come off.
Obama needs to sit in Gitmo with the other foreign terrorists.
You’re right. But it’s a long time till 2016 and the majority of the American people not only are stupid, they have short memories. I give Hitlery a 50-50 chance of being the next president. It’s a sad state of affairs.
Most Americans don’t know who Ben Gazi is.
“Obama is going to step up his destruction of America. He’s far from finished.”
Only impeachment can stop him. A spate of Executive Orders will elicit cries of despair and intense hand wringing from Congressional Republicans.
You’re right.
He maqy well bring down the black race as well. We will never have another Black President in a century after this guy is done. Heck, we have yet to have a Jewish President!
