(Reuters) - A spree of bad news -- market gyrations, fears of a double-dip recession, stubborn unemployment and fallout from a debt deal -- has shaken confidence in President Barack Obama's leadership and could cloud his chances for winning re-election.

My concern is how low this guy has tanked in the toilet already. It would seem just sitting on his can would be viewed as a colossal improvement by 11/12.

In the mind of a narcissist, the problem is never them. The lower Hussein sinks, the more dangerous he is. Narcissism easily leads to Megalomania. This is a seriously disturbed man.

Yes, and pay attention to that spellcheck..:=)

[Paladin2]

“Notional” is a legitimate word.

Inquiring minds need to know.
