President Obama has few remaining friends—either in his own party or in the media.
That’s the unmistakable conclusion of two pieces this week in the New York Times. Just about everyone, it seems, is down on his single, solitary nature.
I’ve been saying for a year now that the president’s liberal media allies have soured on him. It started with the ObamaCare debacle and continued through his seeming passivity or slow reaction time in the wake of the VA scandal, the Bowe Bergdahl mess, the military collapse in Iraq and so on. At this point they’re basically Waiting for Hillary.
What is striking now is a growing sense, fairly or unfairly, that Obama is not capable of rising to the occasion, that he just doesn’t like politics, that he’s disengaged, that despite his soaring rhetoric in 2008 he has a passion deficit.
All the criticism about him playing golf and being at Martha’s Vineyard is kind of a code for his supposedly being unplugged from the job.
A Times news story opens with a killer anecdote about the president meeting with Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell, which turned to Democratic complaints that the GOP was bottling up a number of Obama’s ambassadorial nominees.
“Mr. Obama quickly dismissed the matter. ‘You and Mitch work it out,’ Mr. Obama said coolly, cutting off any discussion. Mr. Reid seethed quietly for the rest of the meeting.”
Wow. And the nut graph: “Nearly six years into his term, with his popularity at the lowest of his presidency, Mr. Obama appears remarkably distant from his own party on Capitol Hill, with his long neglect of would-be allies catching up to him.
“In interviews, nearly two dozen Democratic lawmakers and senior congressional aides suggested that

While there's an election coming up, even some half brain dead liberals realize ISIS is a monster that must be dealt with.. The erasure of our border, the threat of ISIS and the spreading of Ebola are a recipe for disaster. It's time for Obama to man up and GET OUR BORDER PATROL BACK ON THE BORDER.. STAT!!!!!
In the meantime, I'll give a gold star for the air strikes. If nothing else, our pilots desparately need some long awaited REALTIME sorties over an active battlefield, YES!!!
“Mr. Obama quickly dismissed the matter. ‘You and Mitch work it out,’ Mr. Obama said coolly, cutting off any discussion. Mr. Reid seethed quietly for the rest of the meeting.””
From what I’ve read here and there, this sort of thing has been par for the course (sorry, couldn’t resist a golf pun) since he took office in 2009. He’s never been keen (or particularly interested) about meeting with Congress, even senior members of his own party (i.e. the folks you’d probably better keep in touch with as President).
He’s real good at letting people know “I won” when he *does* have a meeting, though...

That's the short list. "And so on" is a HEAP o' stuff!
Obama is mentally AWOL and shows definite signs of mental illness - aloofness, giddiness, delusional concepts, detached speech/thoughts, unreal concepts of reality, fixation on vacations, lack of attention to details, lack of long-term connections to ongoing events.
In other words, this traitorous bastard is going crazy and doesn’t care if he takes us with him.
Meanwhile, Jarrett and Holder are pulling his strings, and loving it.
Well, it's true. But there is nothing more sweet than the look & sound of panic on democRAT's faces. And yes, I consider Chuckie Hagel to be democRAT through & through. So I love to hear him panic about ISIS, now that he has presided over the gutting of our military along with 0dumb0.
They’re BAFFLED HUH? WELL WE TOLD YOU SO FOR 7 YEARS ASSHATS.
“He needs to be Bernie Madoff’s cellmate.”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I wouldn’t want him to be treated as the equal of Madoff! That would be horrible indeed! I would prefer that he had to clean Madoff’s toilet after every use and ask Madoff’s permission before he could eat, sleep or even sneeze.
The greatest blessing of all with Obama has been his sheer laziness. Imagine the destruction he could have wrought if he wasn’t more inclined to golf, watch ESPN, smoke cigarettes (and other appendages), and sit on his butt in a stupor.
That only properly applies to farmers and being a farmer requires many traits not apparent in the won such as long term planning, evaluation of different options, management of resources etc. Farmin’ ain’t easy son, ain’t no crazy liberals makin’ it on a farm. If the won were to stand out in a field somebody would have to come and take him by the hand and lead him out of it.
bull he does not stand alone he has the whole communist party along with the MUSLIM brotherhood telling him what to do..Along with the old filthy fart GEORGE SOROS..
Obama has completed a portion of what he set out to do and that is to tare down our country and make a laughing stock of us..He is playing the poor me card now waiting to pounce again..We are practically defenseless where it come to protecting ourselves..He has turned this country over to the blacks that hate whites and the leader is Eric Holder..
A Golfing president ? More than that. At least Nero fiddled while Rome burned , and all Obama can do is waltz around the links like the prancing psychopomp he is. Its not serendipitous. This is the Obama VICTORY dance, he has destroyed America.
ISIS commits genocide and Obama has no intention of stopping them. He has encouraged them while making a few PR gestures to placate the critics at home, and now America is entertained by the filmed decapitation of Foley, an American journalist who was naïve enough to believe he could travel without a gun in the ME.
Then there is Ferguson, MO. Just what is Ferguson and its attempted evolution to be a righteous revolution? Answer: A glorified lynch mob bent on subjecting due process to its will , aided by an MSM collective of carrion consuming, fabricated-news apes. Brown was a casualty of crime, and this inflated “protest” is a precursor to civil war and national lynching/looting. Obama and Holder mean to secure that destiny.
Thank you to all those who voted for Obama the Usurper. The Nobel Peace Prize winner without a dinner. He is a snake that is fulfilling our Free Republic prophecy that he would bring death and genocide to millions of human beings. This was predicted after we observed his conduct in Kenya in 2006/2007, when he counseled Odinga of the radical Islamist Orange party to create mayhem and genocide through protesting the 2007 Kenyan election results. The result was that thousands died, including 70 old men, women and children in an incinerated church, after the Orange party terrorists locked every door and window, and applied the torch. Obama is nothing but a curse on the world, a horrible blight on the plant of American liberty.
We saw the future writing of history on the fascist wall in 2007, but no statement we could make would make any difference to a nation traduced by emotional inducement, and a disguised radical evangelistic Obama.
NOW we are saddled with an isolated, disconnected, treasonous so called president, who will destroy our nation rather than compromise his leftist principles to comply with the Constitution he swore to defend. He rejects his own Secretary of Defense and those who would defend our nation and its interest abroad.
The entire free world and its innocent inhabitants will suffer horribly through starvation and disease. Sons and daughters will go to war and die for several generations, and nuclear warfare is a distinct probability rather than a remote possibility, as it was at the outset of the term of President Obama, the Reamer/Dreamer.
May Obama and every one of his running dogs rot in hell. Cursing the day he was born and his first breath will become common fodder to a nation that would at one time have deserved much better, but fell asleep at the switch and bought the MSM created pap and emotional imagery fabricated by the left in America ( Zowie!...swoon....Americas FIRST BLACK president, as if his race would wash away any imperfections, that would have the constitutional temerity to dare manifest, as they already had done in his true historical record, skillfully obscured.). America , you have been had.
All America can do now is bend over and take it right up the collective nether opening. And vote for another leftist in 2016 too? And watch the complete fall of a once great nation as it descends into Ferguson, Missouri style discivilization, brought about by hooting street apes with their pants down below their butts, championed by a nutter, cross eyed, Caucasian phobic, radical Attorney General, Eric Holder. We have seen the mirror of America’s future, and it is disaster writ large.
Everyone who has the means should get out of a sinking nation while they can and if not, then move out of the cities and urban areas into the wide open rural spaces of America. Buy a rifle and as much ammo as you can to protect your property and loved ones. Much worse is yet to come as Obama unleashes the dogs of demographic ( Ferguson/Illegal Aliens) and conventional( ISIS) warfare on a still unsuspecting nation that voted to suffer its own treason. SHAME ON YOU!
Obama may stand alone but he sits on Reggie’s lap.
The Clinton-Obama Benghazi Rule is as follows:
“1.) ALWAYS STAND DOWN WHEN MUSLIMS ATTACK,
2.) WAIT FOR THE MUSLIMS TO FINISH THEIR BLOOD SPORT KILLING, AND
3.) THEN DO NOTHING.”
Since September 11, 2012, Obama has:
* Invoked the field-tested, Clinton-Obama Benghazi Rule for the US in order to allow the ongoing genocide of Christians, and Yazidis in current US Ally Iraq;
* Refused to keep his Word on his Redline in Syria;
* Released the GITMO FIVE to supervise the rapid growth of ISIS;
* Repeatedly proclaimed that HIS “American People” are war weary;
* Ordered the dismissing of front-line US Military Officers;
* Ordered the downsizing of the US Military to that of pre-WW2 levels;
* Repeatedly promised to unilaterally quit fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan; and
* Invested more hours in playing Golf than visits to the Pentagon.
If Muslim Hussein Obama were to be forced to resign today, would Catholic Joe Biden revoke the Benghazi Rule co-authored by Hillary Clinton and Hussein Obama, and bring the fight to ISIS?
