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.

After the Roberts court green-lights his third term bid, Obama will ditch Biden for Christie as his VP. In 2016, the Obama/Christie ticket will win handily over Jeb Bush/Marco Rubio, probably taking North Carolina, Louisiana, Indiana, Arizona, Wyoming, the Dakotas and maybe even Texas.
Obama has hurt the black man in numerous ways. He’s set race relations back many years. He’s one evil man and his legacy is very ugly before it’s even written.
Yet while Obama continues to meltdown more scandals will erupt for the next few years. My bet is that these current scandals would be considered minor when other scandals emerge later on. Don’t forget, the MSM hasn’t yet paid much attention to his sexual orientation, election fraud, dubious academic history at Columbia University, and a whole host of other Barry topics.
You nailed it. We’ve only seen the tip of the ugly iceberg with this guy.
Let’s hope the MSM does it’s job. But I have little hope that they will.
Give them time. I used to work as a reporter and most MSM folks are really dumb. That’s why they were hired. But eventually, they are going to notice that Fox News, Free Republic and other Conservative media outlets are capturing more public attention. They will continue to complain about that, but eventually they will say wait a minute, perhaps we could out-scoop Fox News and beat them at their own game and then we will rake in the dough. The Guardian is a Leftist newspaper in the UK and they’re pummelling Obama now. I bet they’re starting to get more readers, which can bring in more ad revenues, so they’re forging ahead with this new strategy.
Hey, remember -- the press and its general opinion represent a minority, likely a small minority, of real America. It is WHY Democrats need things like 125% voter turnout and dead votes and vote harvesting at old folks homes and recruitment of illegals via Moter Voter. If Democrats didn't cheat, they'd lose because most legit voters vote for the other guy.
The balsa wood bridge on a movie set looks very real. But when you try to run a train across it, it will collapse. The picture the press paints of "America" is like that balsa wood bridge: phony. The point comes when the press can no more shield Obama than the set builder can keep the train from collapsing the phony bridge.
Good points. I like your thinking.
I wouldn’t believe or count on the Brits. Look what is happening in their own country.

I’m thankful for them.
They’re doing us a tremendous service by reporting what our media ignores.
Concerning, what’s going on in their country, they have the benefit of observing us through the lens of experience, which enables them to recognize things easily.
Not anymore . We have become worse than a pagan nation. We have murdered almost 60 million babies for convenience . We have turned our military over to the sodomites . Many of our churches condone sodomy . We have kicked God out of our schools , our courts and even many of our churches. Way to many of our pastors are unbelievers who MOCK what is written in the Bible and those who believe what is written. Uhhhhhhhh no we are not one nation under God , we are a post Christian nation of people who say they know who Jesus is but REFUSE to REPENT , we are a nation in love with it's sin.
He is a curse on the nation - it is a curse to have a foreigner rise above you.
You are starting to see a narcissist meltdown , that is when they become dangerous. Meanwhile the drunkards in congress talk and do NOTHING.
We were one nation under God ,but we kicked him out . The blood for those 60 million aborted children cry out and will be required of this nation.
He lost the gun control bill in a Democratic senate.
He lost the immigration bill.
He lost the Sequester.
He is losing Iraq.
Heck, even the NY Times has begun hedging a bit.
Stronger than ever?!
More like defeatist talk from a wuss.
“Barack Obama is finding himself less and less shielded by the press, and far more vulnerable to public criticism.”
This is the big problem Democrats run into. Republicans can’t use a slightly wrong word without huge spreads and graphs running in the NYT for days building hypothetical bridges between, for instance, how a Republican president merely thought something and then thousands of people were killed in 3rd world countries. Meanwhile Dems can invest in total corruption and they KNOW the press will NEVER cover it. So they get used to that protection.
It was amazing, for example, to watch Bill and Hill get the “Republican treatment” in 2008 when the press decided they liked Obama over the Clintons. Bill was livid - he couldn’t believe the press was treating him like a conservative.
I saw an 0bamabot today and she didn’t look too pleased.
Good! But they will hardly ever admit how stupid they are.
The only folks who are doing any honest reporting here is the Fox News folks and the conservative talkradio show hosts.
Just BELIEVE in God and that is the foundation of a new begining.
I can’t see impeachment. It would just rally the Obama storm troopers, who are getting disillusioned. My wishful thinking dream is Obama and his family go on that Africa vacation and stay there, rather than face the scrutiny in DC.
And we don't want him to lose Iraq....we want that to be a decent country.
We used to be. George Washington consecrated the United States to God at the corner of site that would eventually become the World Trade Center. Instead of reconsecrating the site we got arrogant speeches from Tom Daschle and Jon Edwards.
Yet the people do not turn back to Him who struck them, nor do they seek the LORD of hosts. So the LORD cuts off head and tail from Israel, both palm branch and bulrush in a single day. (Isa 9:13) https://prophesite.wordpress.com/tag/sycamore-tree/
I don't think we've begun to experience the "woe" yet. Unfortunately.
Cheer up. At least we haven’t had an Islamic president yet. Oh, wait...
Don’t believe that shit for a second. His stock has not diminished one iota among his worshipers and desciples. His stock has not increased one iota among those who know the bastard for what he is. Maybe, and it is a big maybe, his stock slipped a little among the “swing voter”. But the Democrats are not worried about them. they know that around election day all they have to do is promise enough “frebies” to them and on election day they will be back on the plantation. In fact, the Democrat hate the “swing voter” more than they hate Republicans, Christians, and Conservatives. Why? They [Democrats ]consider them to be thieves. Because, even though they themselves steal from the taxpayers and the parasites, a/k/a swing voter only actually receives less than 1/100th of what was promised, they[Democrats] look at as money taken directly out of their pockets.
