Milbank: Pileup at the White House
WaPo ^ | 6-11-2012 | Dana Milbank,

Posted on 06/12/2012 6:06:19 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

(snip)For the White House, it was just the latest entry in the when-it-rains-it-pours ledger. This has been one of the worst stretches of the Obama presidency. In Washington, there is a creeping sense that the bottom has fallen out and that there may be no second term. Privately, senior Obama advisers say they are no longer expecting much economic improvement before the election.

The snipet was way down near the bottom of the piece.

Does this Obama admin have any plan when the eurozone s*storm hit the fan, or the ME-Iran-Syria?

Do they expect the Oct. release of Obama-killed-UBL movie to turn things around?

I don’t know if this will make a difference, however I bet by November, Americans will know more about the Mormon faith then they ever imagined.

...and still be completely ignorant about the virulently racist and communisitic "Black Liberation Theology."

What do they expect to turn it around?

An "I will forgive all of your student loan balances in a second term" speech in October. The start of a high-profile Stalinist show trial for some bankers. A handful of cruise missiles fired at Iran followed by a "rally around me and the flag" campaign. Photoshopped pictures of Mitt Romney sodomizing a goat which had been strapped to the roof of his car.

I heard the release of the 0bama-kills-Osama movie has been pushed back to December. That’s why the White Hut staff is all mopey now.

Exactly and when everyone becomes poor they will need the federal government to keep them safe. GAME OVER.

Obama is trying to follow the FDR model...

...but facts are stubborn: In 1939, ten years into the Great Depression and the year before the draft started in anticipation of possible war, the unemployment rate was at a ghastly 17.3% and trending upward again.

The only thing that got us out of the Great Depression was the tax rate cuts of 1946 combined with serious relaxation of government regulations. While due to the draft of millions of men brought lower unemployment rates during WWII, life on the homefront was no better than it had been in the 1930's, indeed conditions for families actually worsened.

Krauthammer called it right 3 days after OBL got zapped.

Come the election, EVERYTHING will be replied to with "But we killed Osama!"

The Pubs will need to not only point out Bama’s and Reid’s failures but will have to put a 3-4-5 point eco., cul, mil, soc. agenda telling voters what they and Mitt will do to stop the horrible stats that Bama has piled up via Obamacare, energy, taxes, joblessness, regs, spending, borders.

Don't worry about that. Bernanke is on standby to print out as much 'money' necessary to hold off that Euro-trash shitstorm until after the election. It will surely debauch the currency, but the effects won't be felt until after November. The only thing that may expose the rot earlier than planned is if 'the market' gets a whiff of blood in the water, and interest rates go on a rocket ride(that would destroy us with the amount of debt we are in).
