My reasoning is this: Obama is poised on being a lame-duck president

In a little over a year he has destroyed the economy, singlehandedly lost the WOT (fulfilled his function as a decapitation strike on the US) and brought America to her knees. I'd call him many things, but lame-duck isn't one of them.

That term might be used for the American people giving him the keys to the nation.

Wait, remind me again: who-all signed TARP into existence? Who allowed the takeover of the automotive companies? Who does the Constitution give the power to make bankruptcy laws? Who is it that makes the budget?

The WOT I will agree with his lack of leadership, and more importantly lack of ALLOWING leadership, is definitely detrimental.

As for America to her knees, perhaps it’s the “sleeping giant” waking up. Honestly, I’d rather get things so bad that the people are willing to fight, violently, for their freedom than the apathy of just ‘stopping it.’

>I’d call him many things, but lame-duck isn’t one of them.

I didn’t say he was yet, just that he was poised there. Consider his constant “final push” for health-care, it’s only alienating people. Especially his unwillingness to actually negotiate it to something people can agree on.

>That term might be used for the American people giving him the keys to the nation.

See above.
