Obama’s ship is sinking
nypost.com ^ | 9/14/14 | MICHAEL GOODWIN

Posted on 09/14/2014 5:04:38 AM PDT by Liz

--snip--

Obama's disjointed ISIS speech was about saving his presidency. He is sinking fast... It may already be too late to save the SS Obama......teeming w/ second term disasters....the toxic brew of his Obamacare lies, middling economic growth and violent global breakdown....

....the public has tuned him out...they no longer trust him and don’t think he’s a good leader.....a tsunami of recent polls amount to a vote of no confidence.....his plan to grant amnesty to millions of illegals was put on hold to try to protect Democratics from voter wrath in November.

He has been wrong about virtually every major issue. His worldview, his politics, his prejudices, his habits — they’ve been a mismatch for the country and its needs. He has been a dud even in the one area where he seemed a lock to make things better, racial relations.

The lasting image will be his yukking it up on the golf course minutes after giving a perfunctory speech on the beheading of James Foley. It revealed him as hollow, both to America and the world, and there is no way to un-see the emptiness.

Of course, there is a possibility that America could rally around in a crisis. But a national consensus requires a president who is able to tap into a reservoir of good will and have his leadership trusted. That’s not the president we have.

I’m modestly encouraged by present trends, but then I remember how disgusted the people are with the GOP.

What is unbelievable is that it has taken 6 years for folks to see this clown is a phony.

Better late than never.

The no inflation LIE can only go so far until everyone's broke paying for food and fuel.

Joshing Truth and Carney Sideshows don't change the FACT that people are BROKE!

The short speech on the beheading and, five minutes later, an appearance on the golf course, completely captured this Muslim’s true outlook.

It is kind of hard to root for a team that never takes the field, too busy snapping towels at each other in the locker room.

I don’t believe the majority see him as a phony at all. To do so would condemn themselves, which they are not about to do.

Poll taxes sound like a better idea each day.

People here may condemn me for advocating a $1 tax to vote, but I pay a $20 fee for my CCW, a “right” which is supposedly not to be infringed.

I would gladly pay $1 to watch the effects on the other side.

They just sit back assuming Thad Cochran will lead them to a national victory. Greg Abbott is running a non-campaign in TX thus far assuming that Abortion Wendy can reap little.

Forgot to add......just say the poll tax is “for the children” and they cannot oppose it.

.......a tsunami of recent voter polls amount to a vote of no confidence.....so much so that Obama's plan to grant amnesty to millions of illegals was put on hold to try to protect uneasy Democrats from voter wrath in November.....

But slimeball Rep. Luis Gutierrez (Dem-Ill), the leading mouthpiece for amnesty giveaways, isn't taking Obama's dismissal lying down. Gutierrez said the Congressional Hispanic Caucus will meet to determine a formal response.

“No more excuses, I don’t care what senator is dangling in the wind, I don’t care what Republican proposal is being made,” he said. “I don’t care what happens. We are moving forward.”

===========================================

Oh my---that sounds dangerously like a latino threat to Democrats. Question is: are Democrats who have been so loyal going to allow Gutierrez to threaten their re/elections?

Democrats need to get cooking and demand to know the details
about an individual threatening their candidacies. For instance:

<><><>the number of identities Gutierrez is using now, or has ever used driving a cab in Illinois;

<><><> the number of US govt check Gutierrez, his family, and his staff are cashing;

<><><> whether Gutierrez ever been labled a ntl security threat;

<><><> the list of his memberships in violent latino groups advocating the overthrow of the US govt;

<><> How many stolen Social Security numbers are his family, staff and political entourage using?

<><><> How many identities are the Guiterrez family and campaign entourage using?

<><><> Are his family, supporters, and political entourage paid agents of foreign governments?

WHO IS GIVING GUTIERREZ HIS MARCHING ORDERS? Democrats need to get the FBI to subpoena Gutierrez's phone records, emails and snail mail, wire transfers, etc .....

<><> Examine his campaign contributors, foreign travel;

<><> did Gutierrez employ foreign agents as staff w/ US tax dollars?

<><> did Gutierrez ever file falsified documents w/ the federal government?

<><> did he ever make false statements on tax returns?

<><> did he ever apply for EITC refunds listing children "back Home" that are not related to him?

<><> does he earn outside income as a paid political consultant to foreign governments?

<><> did Gutierrez fail to register as an agent of a foreign government;

<><> Is Gutierrez and The Congressional Hispanic Caucus using tax dollars to conduct a coup against Democrats.

=================================================

DEMOCRATS SHOULD CONTACT FBI TIPS PAGE WEB SITE---https://tips.fbi.gov

<><> DEMOCRATS should demand Gutierrez, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, La Raza, and other tax-funded latino groups, be investigated.

Democrats should supboena Gutierrez' official filings, phone records, emails, snail mail copies, hard drives, bank accounts, checking accounts, credit cards, debit cards, wire transfers, social media contacts, and the like.

==================================================

Democrats should demand to know who these people are communicating with, and who is directing their activities.

Democrats should demand to know if Gutierrez, his family, his staff, The Congressional Hispanic caucus, are colluding to dump Democrats, and whether they are consorting with violent organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt.

He always hardcore fraud.

Obama is acting like he doesn’t need votes from real voters to win. I fear he may be right.
