    Obama

    Its going to feel real lonely up there at the White House after November, isn't it Mr. Obama?

    Proves the fact that sometimes you actually need to learn how to manage and govern, prior to running for office. It boggles my mind that you fooled half of America to vote for you the first time.

    Well played, but...we've had enough of the "change" and would like to have America back, thanks.

    You guys are going to be very disappointed when you realize that people are just as unhappy with the Republican party.

    Count me in that number. The only thing they have going for them is they'll block Obama's inane agenda out of partisan spite.

    This will soon be two forgotten years, he, and his agenda will be a lame duck until the end of his term.

    Barack Obama: one-term president?


    Problems are cascading and disillusion is spreading
    Ron Smith

    June 4, 2010

    Is it premature to wonder whether Barack Obama is fated to be a one-term president? Perhaps, but signs are certainly emerging that this is a presidency in trouble. Even leftish pundits are losing patience with the man whose election was celebrated as a "transformative" one, whose promises of Hope and Change were taken very seriously by millions of Americans fed up with the Bush regime, its faux conservatism, its wars and its profligate spending.

    The surprising success of the young senator from Illinois in snatching the Democratic nomination from presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton, and his subsequent victory in the 2008 general election, sent the world into a frenzy of Obamadoration. The Nobel Peace Prize was given him scant months after his inauguration. The transformative promise was so appealing that the widespread assumption was that all that stood between the first black president and astounding success as the Leader of the Free World was time.

    But as we all know, the time since has been filled with harsh realities that might have been more than a match for any leader. He has stumbled under their weight.

    Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan wrote a piece last week under the heading, "He Was Supposed to Be Competent" that raises the question introduced above. She began by stating, "I don't see how the president's position and popularity can survive the oil spill." She called it his third political disaster in his first 18 months in office — the others being the "tearing and unnecessary war over his health care proposal and its cost" and his apparent indifference to the views of a majority of Americans regarding illegal immigration — and said they were "unforced errors, meaning they were shaped by the president's political judgment and instincts."

    One might say, "But Peggy Noonan is a partisan and this is nothing but a polemic." OK, let's turn our attention to another columnist, a liberal one named Chuck Green, former editor-in-chief of the Denver Post. He mocked the president this week, noting that he has set a number of records during his first year in office: "Largest budget ever. Largest deficit ever. Largest number of broken promises ever. Most self-serving speeches ever. Largest number of agenda-setting failures ever. Fastest dive in popularity ever." Furthermore, he still blames George W. Bush for the predicament in which he finds himself. But Mr. Bush didn't break Mr. Obama's many promises. He's gone from the scene, retired in Texas, doesn't have a vote in Congress, and therefore that dog, as they say, won't hunt anymore.

    The disillusion is widespread. President Obama as a godhead figure is a thing of the past for growing numbers of one-time supporters. His rhetoric rings hollow as his words are contrasted with his actions or lack of actions. The BP oil rig explosion and subsequent ongoing torrent of oil poisoning the Gulf of Mexico required a quick acknowledgment of its severity and an immediate presence of the president at the threatened coastal areas. Instead, we got a White House trying desperately to distance itself from responsibility for the crisis. Everything since has been catch-up.

    Now, the problems are cascading. We have the Israeli commandos' bloody interception and boarding of a Turkish-flagged vessel carrying aid to the blockaded Gazans, an incident that has been denounced by governments around the world — but not by the U.S. This is not a welcome addition to the problems the president must deal with. He also faces dealing with the European fiscal crisis, the hideously expensive war in Afghanistan (soon, we hear, to be expanded further into Pakistan — and won't that be the mother of all messes?), the Joe Sestak affair (the congressman was offered an administration job if he agreed to drop his challenge of Sen. Arlen Specter), and the likely huge losses to come for his party in November's elections, due in no small part to growing public fears about runaway government spending.

    We know that there is time for events to turn around and be more favorable to the president and his prospects for another term. We also know that Harry S. Truman chose not to run for reelection in 1952 because the polls showed he had no chance. Lyndon Johnson shocked us all in 1968 when, plagued by growing opposition to the war in Vietnam, he announced he would not run for another term. It could happen again. I'm just saying.

    Barack Obama got out of the shower and was drying off when he looked in the
    mirror and noticed that he was white from the neck to the top of his head.

    In a sheer panic and fearing he was turning white all over,

    He called his doctor and told him what had happened.
    The doctor advised him to come to his office immediately.

    After an examination, the doctor mixed a concoction of brown liquid,
    Gave it to Barack, and told him to drink it all.

    Barack drank the concoction and said,

    "That tasted like bullshIt"!

    "It was." the doctor replied, "You were a quart low."

    It's "We the People" not "I the President".
