A Defiant President Who Knows His Time Is Short


After six months in office the Rasmussen poll shows President Obama’s approval rating is falling. Rasmussen presidential approval rating shows 38% of likley voters now strongly disapprove of Obama’s performance, while 30% of likely voters strongly approve (Rasmussen Reports Daily president tracking polls).  Rush Limbaugh had some good advice to go with Obama’s sinking approval rating. Don’t over estimate the polls as the end all of this leftist agenda. I believe it was IJB of Red State who first said that President Obama will not be a poll driven president. I agree. It was not that long ago when President Obama gave a defiant speech about closing Gitmo in the face of a 93% disapproval of funding by the congressional committee. Obama does not retreat from public opinion. He is a determined ideologue to advance his deliberate destructive policies on the United States. Policies that purposely grow the deficit to devalue the dollar perhaps to cause a take over by an international currency. Beyond the spending is what is in the bills hidden from Americans. Expansion of abortion. The reduction of quality healthcare replaced by government bureaucrats who decide who lives and dies. As Rush Limbaugh described it the stimulus package was nothing more than a government power surge. Employment has shot up to 10% since the stimulus bill. Guess what? Employers are still not hiring. Everything Obama has done has been secretive and sold on the false premise of hope, change and fear.

On the foreign policy and military front things are just as alarming. President Obama made his position known before he was elected. He said he would cut missle defense. The raptor super sonic fighter project has been cancelled.  Obama has attacked CIA policies. Unnecessarily playing out our intelligence gathering tactics before the world. Obama has met the heightened aggression of North Korea and Russia with an apology tour. Were we not here before? I think it was the late 70s and early 80s. Jimmy Carter met aggression with appeasement. I remember.  We have heard this and seen this all before. With the lessons learned from the past, and President Obama’s deliberate destructive policies, I submit that he knows exactly what he is doing and that his time is short. Obama is bent on defiantely forcing his will onto Americans.

Obama and the democrats oppose American exceptionalism and are seeking to subject us to a global order of collectivism. To do that they must destroy us economically and weaken us militarily. Unlike Clinton, the polls will not control him.  Obama is as close to anything this nation has had to a dictator.

Dictator! Yes! I’ve said it since before the election. If Obama had everything his way we would already be Cuba.

He’s a scary guy and it’s going to be a long 3 1/2 years of fighting against him. The only thing he feels is exceptional is himself and he will continue to work diligently to destroy our great country by cutting defense spending, destroying capitalism, and putting into place policies that remove our freedoms one by one. Elections have consequences.

We must keep talking and exposing the truth about the man, support those who support conservatism and the Constitution, and spend a lot of time on our knees.

 

Basically, Obama Is Not Nearly As Cunning As Clinton

IJB Saturday, July 25th at 10:21AM EST (link)

The difference between Obama and Clinton is that Clinton was, essentially, non-ideological (i.e. no ‘core principles’; entirely personality-driven). It’s what made Clinton such a good liar – he knew exactly what to say to stay on people’s good sides. IOW, Clinton was able to *pivot* when things initially turned against him.

I see absolutely no evidence that Obama has the same capabilities, which is what I said some months back. In short, I see no evidence that Obama has the capability to ‘pivot’ now that things have gone sour.

In fact, we’re seeing the opposite – now that things aren’t going his way, his worst personal instincts are emerging.

This leads to the possibility of an interesting scenario – if Obama is incapable of pivoting, and he keeps indulging his worst impulses as things turn more and more against him, what do you think his popularity is going to look like in 6 months to a year?!

And if Obama tanks as bad as I think he’s capable of (not to mention Pelosi & Reid!), what happens to the Dems running in 2010?!

There’s a potential scenario here where 1994 may be small potatoes compared to what happens in 2010. Stay tuned…

Because Obama is a dedicated neo-Marxist

I agree. Clinton primary impulse was his ego. He would sell out his convictions to save his own hide and preserve his legacy.

Obama is a true believer. He’ss pivot onteh details, but he is a big picture radical. That is why he ceded the details to the Congress. He doesn’t care how it gets done. He is just determined to re-make this country into something it was never supposed to be.

Clinton was Machiavellian. Obama is a dedicated neo-Marxist.

But I dont think the Dems will lose the House or the Senate in 2010.

I'll Take Your Bet, Swamp!

I think the odds of a House take-over, at least, are quite decent, looking at as things stand right now.

The Senate is a much harder road to hoe. But I think what I was implying is that if Obama tanks badly enough, even retaking the Senate (or at least making effective Dem governance of the chamber difficult-to-impossible) becomes an outside possibility.

And that would be stunning.

What's The Line In Vegas?

The funny thing is that you probably really could find a line in Vegas.

The problem Obama has

izoneguy (Diary) Saturday, July 25th at 10:51AM EST (link)

is that he dug the hole too deep. He had every intention of bleeding America to the point of passing out and then he would bring her back before the 2010 elections…..he let it bleed too much. A real recovery won’t happen until Obama is gone for a few years. Once Obama sees it won’t come back for 2010 he will have a firesale and try to bleed it on out. Once the real *hit hits the fan he can pull some executive powers BS and put down the already crippled economy. We will be treading into unknown territory here. The nutroots will still support the Waxmens and Franks but for the most part I see any democrat who votes for more Obama plans will be low hanging fruit to pick.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

 
 
 
 

Too optimistic - remember Lenin and the NEP

civil truth (Diary) Saturday, July 25th at 12:13PM EST (link)

When Lenin ran into heavy opposition, he temporarily halted the march towards a full Communist society and instituted the New Economic Plan. Later on, once effective opposition had been disarmed, Stalin came in and exterminated the Kulaks.

Similarly, Obama will tack temporarily if necessary, lying as necessary, until he is able to build enough structure with his bully underlings and SEIU and ACORN to intimidate Congress – and then it will be full speed ahead under him or his successor.

Marxists never stop aiming for their goal, but they are fully capable of deceit and strategic detours to lull the opposition groggy while they regroup their forces until they strike at the opportune time.

The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern. -C.S. Lewis

Obama Doesn't Have the Infrastructure (or the Personnel) To Pull That Off (nt)

Just visit http://whitehouse.gov ...

conteach (Diary) Saturday, July 25th at 1:02PM EST (link)

and you will see a dictator in the making. Notice it does not say “The White House…of the United States of America” . Instead it says “The White House… Barack Obama, President. Its all about his plans, his ideas and supporting HIM, not this country. And to become violently ill – just visit http://barackobama.com where his campaign and community activism carries on.

 

Obama's pattern

avgamerican (Diary) Monday, July 27th at 10:38PM EST (link)

Large multi-page unread bills with a sense of urgency to pass them. No transparency. It’s all deception to force in a socialist agenda. My father in law told me that LBJ did the same thing. Right after LBJ came into office, he told his aides that it would be a real short honey moon, so their agenda had to be passed with urgency. Waahhllaa, “The Great Society.”
