Milbank buried the lede: "In Washington, there is a creeping sense that the bottom has fallen out and that there may be no second term. Privately, senior Obama advisers say they are no longer expecting much economic improvement before the election."

NOTE: The headline at The Post has been changed from the original "Car Wreck..." to "Pileup at the White House."

Could it get any worse?

Yes.

We'll get the blame.

The ONE needs to play 9 holes and then send a tweet to himself. That will invigorate him.

Sounds like somebody leaked the WH internal polls to WP reporters. And there’s no good way to spin them.

Wow - all that bad news for the President proves just how many racists there still are in the country.

Job growth has stalled, the Democrats have been humiliated in Wisconsin, the attorney general is facing a contempt-of-Congress citation, talks with Pakistan have broken down, Bill Clinton is contradicting Obama, Mitt Romney is outraising him, Democrats and Republicans alike are complaining about a “cascade” of national-security leaks from his administration, and he is now on record as saying that the “private sector is doing fine.”

Could it get any worse?

We can only hope and pray.

Remember that whole “car in the ditch” and “take the keys away” crap the White Crib spewed a few years ago? Isn’t it fitting that Mr Soetoro’s Commerce Secretary may REALLY have his keys taken away?

**The AP asked about the president’s unfortunate private-sector-is-fine remark. The Reuters correspondent asked about the economic “head winds” from Europe. Ed Henry of Fox News Channel asked about the looming contempt-of-Congress vote against Attorney General Eric Holder. Margaret Talev of Bloomberg News asked about the Supreme Court striking down Obamacare. Norah O’Donnell of CBS News asked about calls for a special prosecutor to probe leaks. Victoria Jones of Talk Radio News asked about the stalled talks with Pakistan.**

This is hilarious!

It’s bad enough when an utterly corrupt political machinery, coupled with a moronic and degenerate voting public, puts an alien - and a Moslem at that - in the White House who was never constitutionally qualified and he spends four years undermining and destroying the nation.

The “car wreck” at the White House was the day this simple tool was given the oath of office.

The “car wreck” in the United States was the day he was allowed to run for president.

Junius Horribilis...

We barely passed the first one-third of June. The big gong will be Scotus decision on Obamacare. It'll dwarf all things so far, whatever the decision is.

Yah, the “car” analogy has been overused, plus there’s “Gov’t Motors”.

While this is all good and encouraging news, the simple fact is, Joe Schidtt the Rag-Man ought to be able to defeat Barry Obama-Soetoro - the undocumented, inexperienced, over-his-head President.

A minimum requirement to run for president should be that you have successfully run a lemonade stand or a hot dog stand and actually made a profit. ZERO has never run ANYTHING in his whole career. He was a community organizer (aka rabble rouser) then a law professor, then a back bencher in Illinois & US senates. He has ZERO executive experience. Which is why I refer to him as ZERO.

Could it get any worse?

YES ... if, the job market continues to tank ... or, if the Euro collapses ... or, any of a half dozen European countries collapse economically ... or if Japan collapses ... or, the dollar collapses due to any number of factors ... or, if U.S. sovereign debt ratings are downgraded again ... or, if Congress is forced to somehow deal with increasing the debt limit before the election ... or, if Fed money printing continues unabated ... or, if derivative calls trigger the mother of all bailouts ... or, if bank runs start in earnest ... or, if the Dow drops below 10,000 ... or, if the real estate market tanks another 20-30 percent ... or, if something else triggers a worldwide depression ... or, if ObamaCare is tossed by the Supreme Court ... or if we suffer a terrorist attack on U.S. soil ... or, if we get involved in the Syrian/Libyan/Egyptian civil wars ... or, if Israel and Iran go at each other ... or, if the price of crude oil soars ... or, if any number of other bad things happen, ... THEN YES, things will get worse for the Royal Idiot!

Bryson-He can’t handle the truth. (Issa is after him)

Weird this happened on Sat. when Bryson got the letter on Friday.

House Republicans are broadening their probe of the Department of Energy’s largest solar-loan guarantee. Rep. Darrell Issa, the California Republican who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, sent letters to the White House and BrightSource Energy Inc., the loan-guarantee recipient, asking for e-mails and other documents related to the $1.6 billion deal. A second letter from the committee asks the White House to turn over all internal communications related to BrightSource, including with the company’s investors and with utilities set to buy its electricity. It also asks for an explanation of how Commerce Secretary John Bryson, BrightSource’s former chairman, was vetted for his current post.
