This week, the Senate, by a slim margin assured by opportunist Democrats up for re-election, rejected the nomination of Debo Adegbile, another radical Obama nominee, to head the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department.
The feckless Democratic senators who broke ranks with his royalness are probably responding to the latest polling data showing that Obama has reached his all-time low for job performance approval. The Fox News poll found that just 38 percent approve of the president's job performance and that 54 percent disapprove. Prior to this poll, his worst rating was 40/55 percent in November 2013.
I happen to believe that Democrats are going to get a drubbing like they haven't seen for years, possibly even worse than 2010, because of Obama and despite the intramural struggles within the Republican Party.
For multiple reasons, Obama's disastrous performance hasn't backfired on him directly — apparently typical of his whole life of taking credit for meager achievements and avoiding responsibility for his failures. But though he manages to always be out of the room when blame is being assessed, he still sports long reverse coattails, such as in 2010, which was a referendum on him personally, largely because of Obamacare.
Back then, Obamacare was just a gazillion-page bill on a blackboard waiting to be implemented by bureaucratic vultures hovering over the dying body politic of freedom. Now it is a live parasite choking the life out of our health care system and squeezing dry our checkbooks. Even if Obama gets a personal exemption for his unconscionable fundamental transformations, he is toxic for those associated with him. We'll see whether this disingenuous dissent by a few Democratic senators to save their own skins will even work. If voters are smart, it won't, because these same people have enabled this man's dismantling of the American dream every step of the way and his radicalization of every department within his reach.

Delighted to see it, but remember Harry Reid changed his vote to a “No” specifically so he could re-introduce the nomination. Sometimes you need to drive a stake into these guys’ hearts...
That’s true, there’s a possibility Dingy Harry could push this through after the election even if we take control of the Senate, I wouldn’t put it past him and the turkey in the WH.
Disagree--The conservative wing of the GOP base is pi$$ed off, alright; but they're more pi$$ed off at their own party than they are at the RATS. If Boner passes amnesty, expect conservatives to stay at home.
Where's the list of Dems with the thumbs down vote?
His supreme majesty will recess appoint him. After all who’s going to stop him?
Along with Reid, the Democratic votes against Adegbile were Sens. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Mark Pryor (Ark.), Joe Donnelly (Ind.), John Walsh (Mont.), Chris Coons (Del.) and Bob Casey (Pa.).
0bummer may do that but the appointment will only be good for a year.
There’s also the possibility of an In-Your-Face Executive Appointment.
Never underestimate fools that can vote.
You think 0bamacare is hurting the industry?
Just wait. You ain’t seen nuttin yet.
Suicide by jellyfish? There’s a code for it. You apply the code wrong, you don’t get paid. I took a coding class last year and this is a MAJOR DISASTER looming.
How about a code for death on burning water skis? Or if you fell off the toilet in your spacecraft.

Democrats are butchering this issue.
Willie Horton was a really ugly looking criminal. So wisely the GOP made an ad out of him. The Democrats instead exposed how they they pander to black criminals, lawyers and race hustlers. They fell into the trap. They are doing the same. It is not about whether Debo defended a cop killer it is they smeared the memory of the dead cop in favor of a criminal and public charge.
If Coons and Casey voted no it must be a bad idea.
This was only round one folks. Don’t get your hopes up just yet. Harry Reid can bring him up again in the near future.

Can obama re-nominate this guy?
Yes he can but adegbile would have to go through the same process or 0bama could recess appoint him if there’s a genuine recess but that appointment would only be good for a year.
LET'S STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama advanced his signature healthcare plan---ultimately enacted, by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote, into the "Affordable Care Act"
QUOTING 2008 OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have choice of doctor.” Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American family would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.
Significantly, Obamba NEVER corrected lock-stepping Democrats, all reading from the same Democrat talking points, all of them repeating the same Democrat promises---over and over again.
LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY NOT SEEN SINCE 1930-40's ERA EUROPE Obama And the Dems marched in lockstep.....the persistent Dumbocrat drumbeat ---- in obeisance to Obama ---- kept ringing reassuringly in our ears: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."
===============================================
Even if Obama gets a personal exemption for this unconscionable act, he is toxic for those associated with him......
In 2009, retiring Arkansas Rep. Marion Berry presciently warned that ObamaCare was setting up Democrats for a huge 2010 midterm defeat; just as “HillaryCare” led to Democrat loss of 54 House seats in 1994.
Obama scoffed at such concerns; he told Berry, “Well, the big difference here is you’ve got me.”
SO MUCH FOR O'S EGOTISM 2010 Republicans went on to win 63 House seats and six Senate seats.....the largest swing to Repubs in the House since 1938. So Obama was right---the difference was him. ROTFL.
On to 2014.
=====================================================
ALL TOGETHER, NOW----LET'S ALL HUM THE THEME FROM "JAWS" White House chief of staff Denis McDonough held an unpublicized meeting with Sen. Michael Bennet (DIMWIT-Colo), chairman of the Senate Democrats’ campaign arm, amid anger and anxiety that ObamaCare’s botched rollout could cost the party its majority next year.
In the meeting, requested by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), McDonough and Bennet discussed what the White House could do to help vulnerable Senate Democrats and “talked about developing a stronger relationship with the White House.”
(That cockamamie idea was quickly discarded. After all, Democrats reasoned, who would believe a ditzy story like that.....other than the brain dead MSM media.)
Democratic senators fear the White House is not sympathetic enough to their plight. After the government shutdown, they were confident they would retain the Senate, maybe even retake the House; but Dem optimism vanished as problems with the healthcare law mounted.
(The buzz is Speaker-wannabe Pelosi disconsolately went back to sucking up everything in sight.)
“I know these guys are nervous as hell. I mean, all of their jobs are on the line because Obamacare is the thing making the biggest political waves lately. It’s a nightmare,” Denis whined.
================================================
WATTA RELIEF--DEMOCRATS COME UP WITH THE ONLY WORKABLE SOLUTION Obama recently announced the White House's 2014 Senate strategy: "Keep Obama away." The extensive midterm campaign strategy is built around one unavoidable fact: Hardly any candidates in the most competitive states want President Barack Obama anywhere near them on the campaign trail.
OMG! You are correct! The nightmare is yet to arrive.
