Zogby Report Card: America is 'just giving up' on Obama
The Washington Examiner's Washington Secrets ^ | July 12, 2014 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 07/12/2014 7:54:39 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Pollster John Zogby reports in our weekly White House report card that the troubles dogging President Obama and his inability to handle them have prompted even his most ardent supporters to give up.

"Now some people have really bad weeks. Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff got an 'F' after the nation's soccer team lost to Germany.

“But President Obama's week was just as bad. Israel and the Palestinians are at war again. The president should have visited the U.S.-Mexican border where so many immigrant children are in danger and so many American citizens are worried.

“It just seems that even those who have been so hopeful of this president are finally just giving up. Things just appear to be out control, at least out of his control. A very bad week."

Grade: F

I never gave up on Zero, since I was never for him.

Grade “F.” Hey, that is just what the feckless fool on the hill deserves. This man is absolutely worthless. An “F” grade is being charitable.

Oh, no. 0bama is very much in control. This is all a man-caused disaster, and the man who caused it is 0bama.

He knows exactly what he’s doing.
He is ‘fundamentally changing America’- just as he promised.

His Cloward-Piven scheme is working perfectly.

Every day it’s a new atrocity.
Is there no one to stop this mad man while we still have some remnants of our America left?

On the bright side, Hussein got in some golf and pool and cut in line for some fatty beef while the Mooch wasn’t watching.

You got that right. The fact that he couldn't even land a job as a lawyer after leaving Harvard Law School ought to tell you something.

I think that Obama is a marionette who dances on the strings of his controllers, the main one being Valerie Jarrett. She hates the United States and wants to bring it down. She's done a good job of it.

But . . . and I think this is where Obama's controllers are deluded. They think that they can create all sorts of chaos and that the people will instinctively turn to the Feds and willingly give up their freedom for some illusory security. I think they couldn't be more wrong about that. Quite to the contrary. After five years of Obama and his federal power grab, the prestige of the federal government has never been lower. Maybe after Watergate it was lower, but I doubt it. Essentially nobody in fly-over country has any faith at all in the feds.

They think they're pulling the people closer to Washington but they're actually creating a very powerful centripetal force driving the people and their States away from Washington. The States and counties (Sheriff Joe is riding high right now) are increasing in power and influence. Not the feds.

Typical deluded libtard thinking. Which is why I, as a dyed-in-the-wool States rights guy, see a silver lining to this terrible black cloud. The fedgov is terribly weakened by all of this. It might never recover basic trust. Heck, federal troops wussies out and ran like scared rats from a ragtag bunch of militiamen at Bundy Ranch recently. They can't secure a border. Nobody could possibly take them seriously.

I'd say Zero has actually been good for my cause so far. I hate to say that. I really do. I wish it didn't have to come to this. But it did. But another couple years of this madness - throw in another couple of humiliating SCOTUS defeats, abuse-of-power scandals, maybe a nice financial meltdown, a terrorist attack or two or three and so on - and we might just see a slew of Red States adopting in their Constitutions the principle of state nullification of federal law.

Any libtard who ever thought that Cloward-Piven would work was delusional from the get-go. And besides, the clear trend of history is away from centralized power. The former Yugoslavia. The former Soviet Union. Nowadays Catalonia and Scotland are vying for decentralized control of their own destinies. For people who don't believe in American exceptionalism, they sure do seem to think that America is a major exception from the de-centralizing trend of the past 30 years.
