A little symbolism here...

President Obama is now reaching terminal velocity, like a skydiver plunging toward earth. Except he doesn’t have a parachute. There’s a mighty splat coming soon.
With his approval rating at 40 percent, down 6 points from early June, and just 29 percent of Americans convinced the country is on the “right track,” the president is doubling down on his strategy of blaming Republicans for his failures. And he’s shifting into hyperpartisan drive, traveling the country to campaign for Democrats, many of whom wish he’d just stay away.
Worse, the news just keeps getting well, worse: The Veterans Affairs scandal is blazing, with new horrific details emerging weekly; Congress is gathering kindling on the IRS scandal, which sends shivers of fear up the spines of wobbly Democrats; House Speaker John Boehner is fired up and plans to sue the president for his unilateral (and constitutionally banned) executive actions; and the rest of the world looks about to burst into flames.
But three things have happened this week that will make the president spin out of control as he plummets toward the ground.
America’s economy is in free fall (and even Team Obama can’t fudge the numbers to make things look OK). When the administration in April put out the rate of growth for the first quarter, it said the economy had grown by 0.1 percent. Last month, it changed the numbers: The economy had shrunk by 1 percent. And on Wednesday, the Commerce Department said oops, make that 2.96 percent — the 17th worst GDP quarterly performance in U.S. history.
What did the White House say? Uh, bad weather. But there was much more to the massive drop, according to economist Peter Morici.

one can only hope he snorts one cigi of cocaine too much!
Obama is the same person now that he was five years ago, and my opinion of him has not changed during that time.
I have neighbors who are retired public school teachers. They are teachers union members and self confessed hard core socialists. Obama could kill and eat a puppy on TV and they would praise him for it.
The establishment democrats are going to cut bait on him here shortly. Expect a leak involving a certain fraudulently obtained SSN or forged (allegedly) Selective Service Registration form.
I love it. LOL!
Good to see you back on board your yachit.
Me too, and that’s the honest truth.
Please be right, Mike! B^)
My God! That would make me soooooooooooo happy.
There are a lot of very elderly voters who still vote for the party of their parents. They live in a “yesteryear”, only watch 30 minutes of broadcast news at night, and no longer think very clearly.
BUMP That!
Forever. Tooooooo much invested
The Entitlement Army encompasses a wide variety of voters and likely approaches 40% of the current electorate (growing every year).
Those folks will vote for Charles Manson if he’s the Democrat candidate. They could care less about Benghazi, IRS, or similar stuff. They vote their pocketbooks.
Most Demorats know that Lincoln was a Democrat.
Hmm - Pelosi and Reid would think that.
I’d prefer that he is in AF-1 first.
It is amazing that 41% of Americans still approve of his job.
Talk about brain dead.
Actually they are responding appropriately to their situation.
There’s no way people dependent on govt are going to vote for something that threatens it.
It really is hard to believe there are that many idiots in this country.
You nailed it.
