The Obama Administration Looks To Be Close To A Breakdown
IBD ^ | 4/20/12

Posted on 04/20/2012 9:58:01 PM PDT by hope

Administration meltdowns are hardly novel. In almost every presidency there comes a moment when sheer chaos takes hold, whether self-induced or as a result of an outside crisis.

Vietnam had effectively destroyed Lyndon Johnson by 1967. Watergate unraveled the Richard Nixon administration, as the disgraced president resigned in the face of certain impeachment.

Gerald Ford could not whip inflation and was not re-elected. One-termer Jimmy Carter was undone by the Iranian hostage crisis and skyrocketing oil prices.

For a time, it seemed that Ronald Reagan's second term might not survive the Iran-Contra scandal. George H.W. Bush could not be re-elected after he broke his promise not to raise taxes and Ross Perot entered the 1992 race.

The popular Bill Clinton was impeached over the Monica Lewinsky affair and limped out of office tainted. The insurgency in Iraq and fallout from Hurricane Katrina crashed for good the once-high poll ratings of George W. Bush.

We’ve been hoping for this meltdown for awhile- Obama has people propping his elbows and carrying him over the bumps.

He is a wraith.

He’s not American.

He is an impostor. The stress is significant, and the cracks are evident. It is not the power of God that carries him forward.

“I’m more worried about America heading to a breakdown.”

I agree.
Even if Obumbo gets the boot, it is only one step in
the rescue of America from a brain dead legal and illegal citizenry.

As I have stated on many post, The Communist now control Education, k- Grad school, and the media.

Yes, they do, and they are making drones of the next generations.

There needs to be mass treason trials.

Real treason.

If the opposition gets the country laughing at Obama he won’t be able to take it.

“Born with a Golden Retriever in my mouth too?”

.
.

Check Rush Limbaugh - great research staff

Check Glen Beck - 95% of his wild predictions are coming true

Many of Obama’s Secret Service agents look like Farrakan’s “FRUIT(S) OF ISLAM” - making America very proud in Columbia

.
.

#1 - Ignore SNOPES.com - A scam - as is FACTCHECK.com (FACTCHECK is tied to “Weather Underground” member/bomber Bill Ayers in Chicago)

- It is run by a radical democrat couple and on any sticky political issue or topic SNOPES either refuses to investigate and/or even post or acknowledge it - SNOPES - like 99.9% of the urban and DC Beltway media - is a branch of the DNC

#2 - Obama refused to consult with Congress on Libya as is required since Viet Nam - Claimed he was only acting together with NATO and/or the UN - Sent in jet fighters and bombers as “backup” for France and other Euro countries that depended on Libya and Kernel K-Daffy for much of the oil

#3 - Obama shut down Gulf oil rigs and permits and has defied a Federal Judge’s order to open Gulf rig activity and exploration - Yet Cuba is working with China to put oil rigs in the Gulf very close to the Florida Keys

#4 - Obama gave billions to Brazil (George Soros and China are involved) and promised to buy much of Brazil’s oil for the US to use - while banning exploration, test drilling, and operations here in Alaska, off Florida, off California, on government land in the US - Production in US is “up” only on private property in the USA - while Obama and his surrogates and media (esp. MSNBC and CNN, CBS, NBC, and ABC) spew the baloney that “under Obama oil production is “UP” - Actual oil consumption in the US is “DOWN”

#5 - The US Supreme Court recently kicked Obama’s appointed EPA Commies aside on a case regarding a couple in Idaho that for over 5 years has been threatened with MASSIVE DAILY FINES and ORDERS as they attempted to prepare their locally approved property to build a new home for themselves

#6 - Obama says the US Constitution is NEGATIVE to the Federal government and prevents the FEDS and President from saying and enforcing what they want to do -

The US Constitution spells out which Rights are those of The Citizens and The States

Recently Obama claimed that Congress was “really not in session” (in his opinion)

#7 - The “DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT” - passed by Congress and signed by Bill Clinton - I believe

Obama publicly stated DOMA is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and his Attorney General Eric Holder agrees - and they refuse to enforce it!

#8 - Ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she wants to “AMMEND” the 1st Ammendment to limit FREE SPEECH

“Congress Shall Make No Law......”

#9 - Obama & AG Holder designed and set up “Fast & Furious” to smuggle firearms into Mexico (hundreds of Mexicans have ben murdered as a result) - and several Border Patrol agents have been attacked by Mex drug gangs in the US - and one was killed

US agents in Mexico have also been attacked and killed

The illegal purpose of “Fast & Furious” was - and is - to “Fly under the (legal) radar” as Obama told Sarah Brady - and totally destroy the 2nd Ammendment and the Right of US Citizens TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS (not to go hunting and target shooting) - King George of England. etc. being an early problemo for early Colonists of America

Obama and AG Holder blame “Fast and Furious” on President GW Bush’s “Wide Receiver” tracking program that the ATF and BP and FBI were involved in -

“Fast and Furious” tracked NOTHING - Firearms Dealers in the US were told to illegally sell firearms to Mexican drug cartel for illegal transportation to Mexico

Who paid for those FIREARMS?

You did!

The BATF and FBI gave US Taxpayer’s cash to the firearms dealers

#10 - Like Food Stamps (now called “SNAP”) and Obamacare - Obama is about CONTROL -

“FREE” STUFF to BUY VOTES

To “RATION” food and healthcare

#11 - Executive Orders - XOs - Obama and his Chi-Town Thugs operate with Congress -

Disagree? RASCISTS!

Disagree? ANTI-AMERICAN!

#12 - Check out “Law of the Sea Treaty”

International UN control within a country of domestic rivers, lakes - and “alleged” WETLANDS (morning dew?) - The EPA and HLS working with the UN

#13 - Obama’s Big Dream:

An international INCOME and SALES TAX by the UN on all countries

-

I will post this on http://FreeRepublic.com - on several threads - others can comment - refute, add, debate, discuss -

I cannot pretend to know all the nasty schemes and scams that Obama and his Radical Socialists in the DNC, DSA, and CPUSA have been planning for many decades - and are now illegally implementing

No matter what happens, everyone should study up on international living, and be knowledgeable on where to go, and how to get there.

Amen to that. We trade Obama for Romney, and we get more of the same. No one wants to confront the real problems. They all want to keep promising stuff to voters, stuff which we cannot afford.

For me that would include the entire bicameral Congress, including the functional eunuchs GOP.

Back on Day one Rush said that he hopes Obama fails. Looks like his wish came true.

I’d welcome seeing him dragged out of the office in a straitjacket.

For a time, it seemed that Ronald Reagan's second term might not survive the Iran-Contra scandal.

IBD is usually real good, but sometimes they need to get a grip. Iran-Contra was universally viewed by the public (people with a measurable IQ, at least) as a partisan clown convention. Reagan's people authorized the sale of defective plane parts to Iraq in order to get money to fund communist-fighting rebels - - whoop-de-doo. (It was, of course, the part about funding the people who were fighting the communists that really made the rats poop their diapers.)
