Wasn’t Nixon’s Presidency at a similar “dead point” in 1974?
And Nixon was a reasonably capable person, by most measures.
The Current Occupant is most miserably incompetent. In economics, in diplomacy, in projection of power, and even on a personal level.
“Not down for the struggle.”
All the stagecraft in the world is not going to preserve this legacy. At least, not in a positive light.
But is America at a “dead point” That is the issue.
What now?
Dog bites man.
Three more years is a long time, and those who have nothing to lose tend to be dangerous and upredictable.
I seriously believe that Obama looks forward to “certified lame duckery”. This means more or less of the following for this loser:
1. More golf
2. Less time spent “just for appearances” with the Moose.
3. More time on Air Force One.
4. More “sneaking out” to be with Reggie or who-ever.
5. More time spent on World Travel on our dime.
6. More time with his free lawyer planning his divorce.
Please feel free to add your “mores” or your “lesses”.
And he's got 2 1/2 years to go. Hopefully he won't get to replace any conservative Supreme Court justices.
“The president also lacks ability to win any significant legislative victories, said Lowry, and instead of looking to international affairs like other presidents have done, “Obama has been gradually liquidating our position abroad, while his domestic agenda is permanently stalled.””
This probably the best possible outcome for America at this point. We need to just survive until January 20th 2017.
With this corrupt fool as CinC America hangs by a thread each and every day until then.
