The Obama Meltdown—Symptoms/Diagnosis/Prognosis
Strange things are happening to the Obama administration and quickly so. His polls are diving and may not stop at 50/50, the most precipitous drop in approval of a first-year President since Bill Clinton in 1993 (cf. Hillary care).
First, here are some of the problems the President faces:
Symptoms and Diagnosis
1) Health Care. Health-care take overs and socialized medicine have terrified not just the right and conservatives, but the elderly of all persuasions who fear their shaky Medicare funds will be diverted to Obama’s new plans. In short, they believe their care will be rationed and given to all sorts of new recipients. And they fear age will be a basis for meriting treatment; as if the gang banger with a long felony record of mayhem at 22 would be more deserving before a federal health panel than would someone at 90 who scrimped and saved for insurance in case of some future need for a hip replacement (and was still active and productive; cf. great octogenarians from Sophocles to Barzun who did their best work in their late lives).
It was an insane political move to demonize these town-hallers, when streaming video showed the participants scared and angry, but not violent, trying to get answers from smug politicos who either cell phoned away, ridiculed questioners in the manner of Barney Frank, or mocked their interrogators. These were for the most part not Code Pink/Cindy Sheehan type protestors. (And by the way, what happened to Code Pink, given we are still in Iraq and Afghanistan?)
2) The Spell is Broken...

Wow, good!! Very interesting.
In the article, besides the arrogant POSs on their cell phones, sneering, mocking, outright talking back to their employers.... there was also the looking-at-the-watch-the-whole-time (Specter), as if they don’t have aides to summon them or whatever.
I’m so sick of their lack of respect, but I guess it is good it’s on brazen display now.
The biggest single thing is his stubborn refusal to even produce his dang birth certificate. This resonates with all kinds of people I run across. I mean, common folks can’t do jack without the thing. Can’t get a drivers license or social security card, can’t be admitted to school, etc. As result they BELIEVE he is (a) illegitimate, (b) foreign born, (c) a Manchurian plant, (d) the anti-Christ, (e) evil.
And no medical records, no school records, no nothing like all other past presidents and candidates have HAD to produce.
The two you mentioned will probably NOT be voted out of office. The key is to vote so many of their followers out of office that Bawney and Nancy lose their positions of power ... they become the minority.
They’ve been pandered to so much by the lapdog media that they think they’re Teflon coated. Like spoiled brats who’s parents won’t call them out, they get worse and worse, more childish by the day
Soon is not soon enough. Get them out.
You saw what happened with Norm Coleman...their arrogance comes in part from knowing about this.
He definintely has something to hide.
FReepers should go to Utah-—Mormons are a worldclass genealogy source.
My mother and I had lunch in Panera today. At the next table was a well dressed woman talking on her phone in a loud voice. (Everyone in the restaurant was able to hear her conversation.) She was talking to someone in DC asking for handouts to give to people who asked her about healthcare. She kept saying how hard she had worked to get Obama elected and that people she knew were coming to her for answers. She said she needed something simple to hand out, “something for dumb people”. Dumb people...her exact words.
She gave the DC person her email address in the same loud voice. Too bad the fishy hot line is gone I would have turned her in. LOL
LOLOL!! We so need to turn a bunch in :0)
I am surrounded by leftists. Now they are fit to be tied over the idea of being taxed for their benefits. Most have pensions from teaching, etc.
Their sons and daughters have lost their jobs and they don’t see anything improving any time soon.
They are not about to vote republican but won’t be voting democrat in 2010 either.
Post #3 LOLOLOL

Gays are angry with Obama too. I was at my local Whole Foods last Saturday and saw the latest Advocate, the gay magazine. Obama was on the cover but instead of the word “Hope” it said “Nope?”.
Video tape these arrogant ghouls so the video can be used against them in 2010 and 2012. Plenty of good material for ads and to take door to door to show the American people the arrogant Kings and Queens of Socialism.
absolutely. why else would they insist on courses pleasing to themselves and a handful of far left libs while ignoring the will of the many?
Odumbo’s “Jump the Shark” moment came on the “don’t know the facts but the cops acted stupidly” Crowley- Gates fiasco. I had one die-hard liberal Democrat acquaintance admit loudly that “That was stupid” and ridicule the “beer summit”.
It was a candid, revealing wake- up moment for millions that showed the vapid, arrogant out-of -his league nature of the man.
I realized that when I watched the davidians house burn up. I was referring to the german ss death head symbol. I am trying to figure out how to attach it to this post. No luck so far.
Arrogant, yes. Not what she voted for? Wrong. He is exactly what she voted for. I knew he was going to do what he is doing. He told us all what he wanted. Each supporter read into obie One their own ideas. They were mesmerized and not listening.
