Are We Watching a Failed Presidency?
For the past couple of months I have worried about the risks of a failed presidency. No one should want this, regardless of party affiliation. It is harmful and dangerous to our economy and country. However, it appears obvious to me that the royal regime known as Obama has ended.
Seth Leibsohn writing in the National Review summarized it this way:
"This is reminiscent of the Jimmy Carter years - the last time the U.S. was seen as weak - unable to move and coax other countries, unable to reassure dependent allies, unable to have the respect of the world and, of course, unable to move the mullocracy of Iran."
Even the liberal media are beginning to question the effectiveness of the President. The media, in full Camelot mode, are slow to react and often lag what the populace started to recognize months ago.

The worst part is there the THOUSANDS more competent and capable who will never get a chance. This pick of OB was not an accident.

Fail presidency-BHO could not care less. We are watching the beginings of a
DICTORSHIP-qoute: "He plans on being around a while."
Whats up with this other job as a "World Leader"-sounds like a conflict of interest and failing to uphold the USA Constitution that should be countered with a treason charge! But it is the House of Representatives who can bring an impeachment charge and with the HoR in Democrat control, it seems very unlikely.

My stepson voted for Obama and all though he doesn't say he regrets voting for him yet, he sure shows it.He is like really quiet about politics now and I hope he will not be bitter over the whole first time voting thing. Way to upset your own party members Obama.
Tom in COL
He will be ok. Treat it as a lesson learned and move on. Have him join the resistance, because the people for OB are going to be the most pissed off folks ever by Nov 2010

WERE WATCHING HOMIE THE CLOWN GO UP IN A BALL OF FLAMES WITH AMERICA

It is time to cast aside all remaining doubt. President Obama is not trying to lead America forward to recovery, prosperity and strength. Quite the opposite, in fact.
The methodology is known as the Cloward-Piven Strategy;
The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven were two lifelong members of Democratic Socialists of America who taught sociology at Columbia University (Piven later went on to City University of New York). In a May 1966 Nation magazine article titled "The Weight of the Poor," they outlined their strategy, proposing to use grassroots radical organizations to push ever more strident demands for public services at all levels of government.
The result, they predicted, would be "a profound financial and political crisis" that would unleash "powerful forces ... for major economic reform at the national level."
They implemented the strategy by creating a succession of radical organizations, most notable among them the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), with the help of veteran organizer Wade Rathke. Their crowning achievement was the "Motor Voter" act, signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1993 with Cloward and Piven standing behind him.
As we now know, ACORN was one of the chief drivers of high-risk mortgage lending that eventually led to the financial crisis. But the Motor Voter law was another component of the strategy. It created vast vulnerabilities in our electoral system, which ACORN then exploited.
ACORN's vote registration scandals throughout the U.S. are predictable fallout.
The Motor Voter law has also been used to open another vulnerability in the system: the registration of vast numbers of illegal aliens, who then reliably vote Democrat. Herein lies the real reason Democrats are so anxious for open borders, security be damned.
It should be clear to anyone with a mind and two eyes that this president and this Congress do not have our interests at heart. They are implementing this strategy on an unprecedented scale by flooding America with a tidal wave of poisonous initiatives, orders, regulations, and laws. As Rahm Emmanuel said, "A crisis is a terrible thing to waste."
The real goal of "health care" legislation, the real goal of "cap-and-trade," and the real goal of the "stimulus" is to rip the guts out of our private economy and transfer wide swaths of it over to the government to control. Do not be deluded by the propaganda. These initiatives are vehicles for change. They are not goals in and of themselves except in their ability to deliver power. They and will make matters much worse, for that is their design.
This time, in addition to overwhelming the government with demands for services, Obama and the Democrats are overwhelming political opposition to their plans with a flood of apocalyptic legislation. Their ultimate goal is to leave us so discouraged, demoralized, and exhausted that we throw our hands up in defeat. As Barney Frank said, "the middle class will be too distracted to fight."
These people are our enemies. They don't use guns, yet, but they are just as dangerous, determined, and duplicitous as the communists we faced in the Cold War, Korea, Vietnam, and bush wars across the globe, and the Nazis we faced in World War II.
It is time we fully internalized and digested this fact, with all its ugly ramifications. These people have violated countless laws and could be prosecuted, had we the political power. Not only are their policies unconstitutional, but deliberately so -- the goal being to make the Constitution irrelevant. Their spending is off the charts and will drive us into hyperinflation, but it could be rescinded, had we the political power. These policies are toxic, but they could be stopped and reversed, had we the political power. Their ideologies are poisonous, but they could be exposed for what they are, with long jail sentences as an object lesson, had we the political power.
Every single citizen who cares about this country should be spending every minute of his or her spare time lobbying, organizing, writing, and planning. Fight every initiative they launch. It is all destructive. If we are to root out this evil, it is critical that in 2010 we elect competent, principled leaders willing to defend our Constitution and our country. Otherwise, the malevolent cabal that occupies the government today will become too entrenched.
After that, all bets are off.

Thank you for providing the clarity on the systematic execution of their strategy... suffering in the aftermath of the collapse will require a renewed American spirit – Obama-olics will scream, whine, and demand their entitlements… on their way to the USSA labor camps.
Tom in COL
This sounds strange, but these are the people we need to attract to the resistance. The people who fell for the promises which were and will not be delivered on are going to be REALLY pissed in about 5 months or so.

This failed Presidency must also be linked to the fact that his policies are Progressive Era policies so that we can begin to turn the tide back to foundational, Constitutional Principles that made this country great.

Yes it is a failure...usually "Husseins" have a screwed up, backwards plan. Wonder how this one will end up?

According to his track record thus far he has proven to be unrealistic and irresponsible for one holding the position of POTUS. With that said I can honestly say I hope he and this poor excuse for a responsible congress and house all fail in their endeavors.

I think he's been pretty successful..... at his OWN agenda. Stiking fear and loathing into the traditional american family, imposing his communist will on a free people, and in laying the ground work for a new government that can be enacted by just about "emergency". Lets not forget, his terrorist muslum brothers are "family men" also, they have brothers and sisters, children and wives....they're HIS priority...not REAL americans. Yeah...he's been a success, at being a failure as an American.
