CURL: Obama now in all-out free fall
The Washington Times ^ | June 25, 2014 | Joseph Curl

Posted on 06/25/2014 3:16:17 PM PDT by jazusamo

President Obama is now reaching terminal velocity, like a skydiver plunging toward earth. Except he doesn’t have a parachute. There’s a mighty splat coming soon.

With his approval rating at 40 percent, down 6 points from early June, and just 29 percent of Americans convinced the country is on the “right track,” the president is doubling down on his strategy of blaming Republicans for his failures. And he’s shifting into hyperpartisan drive, traveling the country to campaign for Democrats, many of whom wish he’d just stay away.

Worse, the news just keeps getting well, worse: The Veterans Affairs scandal is blazing, with new horrific details emerging weekly; Congress is gathering kindling on the IRS scandal, which sends shivers of fear up the spines of wobbly Democrats; House Speaker John Boehner is fired up and plans to sue the president for his unilateral (and constitutionally banned) executive actions; and the rest of the world looks about to burst into flames.

But three things have happened this week that will make the president spin out of control as he plummets toward the ground.

America’s economy is in free fall (and even Team Obama can’t fudge the numbers to make things look OK). When the administration in April put out the rate of growth for the first quarter, it said the economy had grown by 0.1 percent. Last month, it changed the numbers: The economy had shrunk by 1 percent. And on Wednesday, the Commerce Department said oops, make that 2.96 percent — the 17th worst GDP quarterly performance in U.S. history.

What did the White House say? Uh, bad weather. But there was much more to the massive drop, according to economist Peter Morici.

Who are these 29%?

So you have the 1% Sodomite contingent (if that many)...
Maybe another 10% (hopefully not that high) whose sole issue in life is unrestricted access to legalized infanticide. And another 10% that hold skin color 'uber alles'... OK, I can see how it could get into the 20 percent range. 29% still sounds high though.

Doesn’t matter what any polls say . . . or what ordinary people want, for that matter . . . the elites have tightened their grip on this country, and (as we saw yesterday) they are not going to let go. Besides, most people don’t care. Remember just a few years ago when the conservative troops came out to vote in massive numbers to support real marriage? The elitist courts have been tossing those votes away, as a couple of them did just today, and almost nobody even mentions it.

Actually the enemedia may be doing us all a favor.

Their failure to report on the hundreds of crimes and impeachable offenses of Obama has only led to more and more scandals. With each new and emerging scandal even worse than the last one. They are essentially giving the Kenyan more than enough rope to hang himself with it.

You ever known a friend or famly member ignore an addict as he continues to snort, smoke, drink and injest himself to death?

The whole world is watching this play out in the White House. I just hope the overdose comes before he destroys the whole country with his sick behavior.

He’s starting to look pretty damned stupid even to the great unwashed simpleton masses.

His non-recovery recovery and his scandal a day regime are steaming towards a washed out bridge. Look for Barry to try and create a monster of a constitutional crisis. His end is not going to be pretty.

Obama DOES NOT CARE about his approval ratings. He is doing as much damage as possible and forcing HIS America down our throats. At the same time, DARING us to impeach him.

Exactly why the founding fathers did not want a foreigner as POTUS. The evidence is absolutely through the roof overwhelming that the guy is a traitor, how many more examples do Democraps and RINOs need before they get the guts to impeach his ass? 100 more? 1000 more??

Twenty percent self identified as liberal (read leftist), common liberals are too cowardous to admit it. Obama could perform a beheading in the Rose Garden of camera, yell Allah Akbar and 20% would still approve.

The pure, sub-human filth, the unimaginably ignorant and stupid monkey vomit garbage that is the average American, would vote for him again if they could.
