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...

This guy has stiffed everyone he knows right down to his chauffeur.
No dignity.
No class.
Just a line of bullshit 10 miles long.
He has earned the description of “vapid”
I am wondering what the next 3 and a half years will bring.
Ping !
Let me know if you want in or out. Links:

Just as 0 knew he would win, so too these Dems believe that ACORN will save the day for them.
I believe that.
IOW, I agree with them. - they won't.
“What other reason for their arrogance?”
All leftist thought, from the limousine liberalism of a George Clooney to the mass murders of Mao, Stalin, or Pol Pot, is of and from Satan. It is a contaminant in the human cognosphere, not a natural component of it.
When did you ever run across a libtard who was not arrogant (admitting that some do pretend to humility)?
“You don’t like Obamacare? Tough.”
What is that picture?
What is that silver ring?
I believe it is a death’s head ring worn by Nazi SS personnel.
Taken on inaugration day on the capitol steps.
I think that you have to be a large chested blond to be vapid... 8^)
“Taken on inaugration day on the capitol steps.”
Is that Rahm Emmanuel (Talk about least appropriate name ever)?
At whom is he thumbing his nose?
Oh. Ew.
I don’t believe they will be voted out either. That wicked monstrosity ACORN has already “fixed” the next election. UNLESS there is a real revolution backed by the Military and this band of brutal THUGS is physically removed - you will be RULED for the forseeable future. There is much much more behind all this than meets the eye. Obama is a FRAUD but powerful forces “placed” this devil in power. I don’t believe he was even qualified to run for the office and I don’t believe he won the vote. Victory will take the shedding of blood!! CO
“She said he’s arrogant and not what she voted for.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
He is EXACTLY what she voted for, she is just slow and it took her awhile to realize he is not what she THOUGHT she was voting for. It was as obvious as an elephant at a tea party but people just refused to see him for what he is until it was too late.
Funny. Too bad for her most of the “dumb people” are now getting their information from the Internet, not handouts.
