Obama Sets Off On Scorched-Earth Rampage
Washington Times ^ | November 20, 2014 | Joseph Curl

Posted on 11/20/2014 7:31:42 AM PST by lbryce

“Some men just want to watch the world burn.” — Alfred talking about the Joker in “The Dark Knight” President Obama, fresh off a shellacking in the 2014 midterm elections — in which he made himself a centerpiece, much to the chagrin of embattled Democrats — is about to embark on a scorched-earth rampage that will change the face of America forever. Although the Harvard graduate and former professor often speaks of “teachable moments,” the president saw nothing worth learning in the outcome of the Nov. 4 elections, when voters gave Republicans their largest majority in the House since World War II and drummed the Democrats out of control of the Senate. More, he doesn’t care that poll after poll shows a growing disillusionment with his signature policy as president, Obamacare, which now holds a record low approval rating of 37 percent. And his plan to use executive authority to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens rates just about the same — just 38 percent of Americans approve.

Nixon wasn’t 1/4 the crook that Obama is but Republicans were still willing to do the right thing.

Obama could rape little boys on the front lawn of the white house and democrats would call for it to be legalized to protect him.

By the way, its clear now that by going on about how he wasn't 'emperor' and couldn't act unilaterally Obama was attempting to goad the congress into enacting their own amnesty and so take the political heat for it.

That didn't work, his party lost the election so, as the situation now dictates to an ends-justifies-the-means jug eared runt tyrant like Obama, he just go ahead and do it himself.

The scorched earth policy of Mr. Obama will be scorching more of the Earth, the USA, the closer it gets to the end of his term.

Sad to say, you are correct.

The Democrats put up a pimp. U.S. voters voted him in.
They preferred him/Biden over McCain/Palin. I always believed that the U.S. WOULD elect a black man before they would even consider a woman as president. I admired McCain but thought that his five years as a POW changed and damaged him irrevocably.

In 2012 the GOP put up a MORMON for president. Mormons still believe that Jesus and Lucifer were BROTHERS. How could I vote for a person whose faith made Jesus a CREATED being and a brother of the Prince of Hell/evil?

I hadn't CLUE as to Paul Ryan either. I voted GOP in 2008 but did write-ins for 2012.

I know others have posted similar sentiment but his are the actions of a megalomaniac. He is convinced that he not only has the answer but that he is the answer.

If he can't get it his way, he will destroy rather than compromise.

Sad really. The first black president will leave a horrid legacy.

Not for another 2 long years, if then.

I wonder if the use of the term “Scorched Earth” is by accident or design.

The term “Scorched Earth” as was used by the Clintons during B Clinton’s impeachment comes from Bill Ayers book “Prairie Fire”, find an incident, a spark to ignite the flame, ratchet it up to a raging inferno.

In other words orchestrate civil unrest/race riots and follow with terrorist attack.

Each and every major terrorist attack since 1993’s 1st WTC bombing has followed Bill Ayers little Weather Underground playbook.

Civil unrest is being orchestrated in White, Black, and Hispanic communities all at the same time for a reason.

After 23 years of all terrorist attacks following the same pattern you can pretty much guarantee there is a terrorist attack coming.

Only question is which of the 3 different groups do they intend to blame the terrorist attack on.

I knew this was coming, but it's still really hard to believe it is actually happening. The liberals and the enemies of our country have been incrementally destroying it from the inside out for years. But not the incremental steps have turned to bounding leaps... Obamacare, amnesty, etc.

I feel more hopeless about the future of the American way of life than I have ever felt before.

“We are watching the unfolding of Obama’s “enabling acts” by default. This is a turning point in American history.”

That is right, and I really would like to see some Republicans show some teeth over this, instead of sadness, resignation, regret, meekness.

The Lawless One knows his time is short.

Yes, they do and he WILL do as much damage as he can.

Americans have no one to blame but themselves for electing this PIMP twice.

I hope that this time, 2016, the GOP puts up someone who is actually ACCEPTABLE to the tiny group of Americans who vote.

Impeachment takes too much of what we don’t have... Time.

All things considered, Obama is overplaying his hand.

Agreed. We have to recognize this and respond without over playing - although it is indeed necessary to stop him.
