This morning, John Fund was on WMAL-AM, the talk radio powerhouse in Washington D.C. He mentioned that nobody in Democratic circles is defending Obama anymore. Buyer’s remorse is everywhere. Essentially, only those actually working for the Administration or Democratic Party, trapped inside the Alamo, are defending the fort now. Anyone can guess when they might start turning the guns on each other, perhaps starting from Foggy Bottom. Fund thought there is a chance that a “committee” of senior Democrats might go to Obama in a few months and tell him it might be best not to run for reelection. Who knows. At least the disappointment would be bi-partisan if that happened, with White House loyalists and the GOP both upset Obama wouldn’t be on the ballot in November.
Then Andrew Breitbart over at the Bigs has the same observation as Fund:
I predict a tectonic shift among American Jews and within the Democratic Party if Obama doesn’t quietly retire. All the spinning in the world can’t spin away the trend of Scott Brown, the Tea Party victory of November 2010, and now the Turner earthquake.
Many Democrats are awakening to the reality that their party has been hijacked by a radicalism completely unfamiliar to their parents’ and grandparents’ Democratic Party.
An internal, partisan civil war is now brewing in that party. What I think tonight is less important than what Joe Lieberman, Bill Clinton, Evan Bayh, and the rest of the former, and now defunct, reasonable wing of the Democratic Party is thinking tonight.
Granted, it’s early, and one bad night in Brooklyn does not an LBJ make. But there is no mistaking the sense of failure creeping over this Presidency after so much Hope.
Obama will be re-elected. You can take that to the bank.
(God I hope I’m wrong...)
“O” was in a free fall all his life and just got lucky landing on his feet in the WH.
He won’t leave now, because he has no where to go.
Watch for the dems to quietly attach themselves to the Gunrunner probe to nudge The One out. I'd say the same about Solyndra but that also gores the sacred cow of eco-fascism, thus, Gunrunner would be the "black cloud" of choice. Special prosecutor by March '12 I think.
“Who’s yo mamma?”
Baraq has far too much hubris to quit.
And Dems don’t dare touch risk the race card being played if they depose him.
No, I believe Toxic Baraq Syndrome will be at epidemic levels until Nov 2012.
That just underscores the divisions within the party; divisions inherent in its makeup of small but vocal minority groups. And when the One people thought was going to bring them together actually divides them instead, the blame game will become nasty, and the One won't be alone in being blamed. I think the term 'civil war' may be fairly appropriate.
“Come to mama.” Even in those days something was
eating at her. There’s not much left of her now.
Not gonna help the Dems.
Obama has poisoned the well.
They aren’t counting on Obama to win. They are counting on the Republican to lose. When the candidate is decided, the media will go on a full out blitz to destroy him.
Those racist SOBs.
And given the penchant for liberal violence, I would not be surprised to see a leftist take a shot at Obama......of course, that would turn him into an instant martyr and pave the way for Biden 2012.
Yeah, if you want an IRS audit, being placed on the “no fly” list by the TSA, having the DEA “mistakenly” raid your home, having building inspectors crawling around, union thugs smashing your windows and a thousand other things. These people are playing hardball.
1) A circular firing squad.
2) An oval firing squad.
At this point in time, I would prefer that Obama quietly and lamely serve out his term and simply announce he will run for re-election.
The following four words comprise my argument for this approach: Presidential incumbent Joseph Biden.
[Of course, I think the REAL probability of Obama NOT running for re-election in 20112 are about the same as the probablity that our sun will burn out in 2012]
and if the Pubbies can’t beat Biden, they are definitely finished.
You are wrong. Behind the scenes you even have powerful dems working with Republicans to rid this country of him.
even killing OBL only gave him a 3 month bump... this to shall pass.
*** He mentioned that nobody in Democratic circles is defending Obama anymore. Buyer’s remorse is everywhere.***
The idiots of America are finally waking up to the fact that when you elect an incompetent, you still have to put up with him for three years and ten months!
Now it’s going to be our turn to celebrate “Hope and Change”.
He ain't got a f_rts chance in a windstorm.
