Obama Is in the Jaws of Political Death: Can He Survive?

Yahoo News ^

Barack Obama is being politically crushed in a vise. From above, by elite opinion about his competence. From below, by mass anger and anxiety over unemployment. And it is too late for him to do anything about this predicament until after November's elections.

Most people know they're being lied to after the liar gets exposed lying about a dozen times.

I think Barry is in to the hundreds now.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Brack is toast. The sooner he is marginalized and gridlocked in the Congress, the better it will be for all of us. IMHO.

Exactly. I hope the Republicans can stand their ground. We’ll need to hold both feet to the fire.

[Reeses]

Because of my age I’ve spent only about 4% of my life under this four-flusher’s presidency. The young fools that voted for Jimmy Carter II have spent over 8% of their life, and their unemployment rate is much higher. They are experiencing their painful mistake 4 times as much.

""Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies."---quote from Groucho Marx

A good characterization of the Obama Administration.

[PowderMonkey]

"With the exception of core Obama Administration loyalists, most politically engaged elites have reached the same conclusions: the White House is in over its head, isolated, insular, arrogant and clueless about how to get along with or persuade members of Congress, the media, the business community or working-class voters."

The "politically engaged elites" fail to understand, Obama didn't come to Washington to "get along" or persuade anybody. He's neither stupid nor incompetent. It's not about his management style, or his ability to connect with working-class voters. He's an Afro-Marxist. He was born into it, spoon fed its ideology, and inspired by its leading figures. He simply seeks the destruction of this Republic under the rubric of "change," and doesn't care what you or I may think. It's a coup de'etat. You're living through one.

Obamas political survival is not a viable option for America.

Obama and his Junta are liberal fascists:

http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html

Nationalist : black/ethnic power , bring historic justice for the alleged exploitation of minorities and make Americans pay for the alleged sins of their fathers supposedly done both outside and inside the USA, apologize for America’s greatness.Promote Islam inside he USA, destroy the Jews at home in America and in Israel.Destabilize America by allowing drug war-lords to control the Southern Border. Grind down our military in a war of attrition in Afghanistan-create Vietnam II.

Socialist: Take government control of as much of the economy as possible and redestribute wealth using the taxation power,community organzing and health care, eventual seizure of personal property of certain Americans.
Make the people dependent on government.

Nationalist Socialist = Fascism

WHy should THAT be even ALLOWED to survive? We must de-elect them at all costs, and if we fail to de-elect them, we will have to confront them over gun barrels, as the states and patriotic Americans mutiny against him.

GET RID OF THEM ALL!!!! GET RID OF THE RINOS WHO KNUCKLE UNDER TO THEM!!!!

PUT OBAMA BEHIND BARS, HE IS A FRAUD, CONSTITUTIONALLY UNQUALIFIED, A FICTITIOUS HISTORY, A USURPER. Not only is Obama bad for white America, he is VERY, VERY bad for racial and ethnic minorities, who can only do well WHEN THE ECONOMY IS DOING WELL.

"From above, by elite opinion about his competence. From below, by mass anger and anxiety over unemployment"

This in and of itself, is a very offensive and patently ELITIST way of writing.

How dare they?

The AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE "ABOVE". The Government is the Servant of the People.

This also infers that those with scholarly, academic, intelligent backgrounds are necessarily and exclusively liberal and don't think Obama has done ENOUGH to advance socialism. Little do they realize those, millions in fact, with great insight and intellect REJECT Obama outright, have always and do so even more these days. Idiots!

Behind bars is inadequate.

Yes, I know what you mean. They discovered the same with the fascist Napoleon.

Ironically if Republicans won both houses of congress this year, that would help Obama in 2012.

IF he makes it to 2012.

[azishot]

The President and Democrats have passed many significant measures (the stimulus spending, the auto-company rescue, the health care law and the financial regulation effort) that someday may be seen as brave and bold, the foundation for a better economy.

How in the world can Halperin write this with a straight face??? Along with the "pink slip" we need your "patent pending" butt-kicker machine! November 3 can't come soon enough.

RE :”IF he makes it to 2012”

This is an easy one. There will be no impeachment. Republicans wont even try. How do I know?

Republicans tried it in 1998 and lost seats. On the other hand Democrats/Pelosi held off the Conyers side of the House in 2007-2008 who called for impeachment of GWB even though he was very unpopular, and were rewarded with another big election win in 2008. It's a political reality.

[azishot]

LOL!!!

[nascarnation]

I see Baraq’s only chance in 2012 (assuming he avoids a primary loss from Hillary!) is a Clintonian plurality win.
That assumes Soros can dredge up a popular “independent” candidate for the MSM to gush over and split the opposition vote.

I believe the Baraqqis can turn out 35-37% of the vote no matter what.

[mandaladon]

Interesting opinion...I think you’re on the right track.

[null and void]

Yes. An unsuccessful impeachment costs votes.

I think after the scorched earth lame duck session the country will be in no mood to tolerate democrap for quite awhile.

I also think he just might be removed from office without an impeachment, if it can be demonstrated that he lacks the Constitutional prerequisites to hold the office, he isn't president and can simply be removed.

Preferably in irons.

More likely? He'll be out of office for health reasons.
