President Obama had a very tough last month.
November started with his party taking -- in his words -- a "shellacking" at the ballot box and ended with him on the receiving end of an elbow to the face in a pickup basketball game.

He should go back to Kenya and take the office of Prime Minister from his cousin Railla Odinga.
He’s be at least as good as Odinga at burning down churches and installing sharia law. And, after all, he bought that job for his cousin.

Doesn’t look good for him. Most of his Chicago scam artists are bailing out on him to receive their back-end benefits. Scammers, but politically competent.

Firing Biden and making Palin his VP might make a good start.

Go further left. Not a solution but it’s what he’s really going to do.

- a "shellacking" at the ballot box and ended with him on the receiving end of an elbow to the face in a pickup basketball game. Ouch poor thing. Really this is what is important to the WapO? N. Korea, Iran, Oh that Economy thingy. This media just suks!

The American Media is doing it's best to aks the stupidest questions today.......Well, actually every day.
There are no fast fixes in this human world. When one is applied, the long term results are disasterous.

He could start by putting up a 30-foot electric fence on the entire Mexican border and line it with armed troops; shut down all funding to the slush-fund handouts; repeal Obamacare; start profiling at airports, both incoming and outgoing; and then find, arrest, and execute OBL.
Then on the second day...
To: G Larry
Retrace his steps and undo everything he did? And take the next two years to do it.

There are two ways for Obama to recover his image ... the Reagan way (betray himself and his left-wing base) or the Carter way (lose and build houses for the homeless).
Do everything Reagan did to rescue the country from the Carter years. Join the tea party. Cut taxes (don’t just extend previous cuts ... actually cut). Repeal “healthcare”. Close the border. Permanently shelve the DREAM Act, Cap and Tax, etc. Torpedo the victory mosque. Basically, work with the new Congress to undermine the old one as quickly as possible. Hell ... replace Joe Biden with Sarah Palin while you’re at it.
Fat chance. My guess is he’ll take the Habitat for Humanity route.

IMHO, he has no "back" to comeback to...unless they're talking about the rock star drooling at the foam greek columns, etc.
As far as doing his job...not doing it WELL, just doing it...he hasn't.
As the saying goes, "It takes a whole lot of attaboys to overcome just ONE 'oh $hit', and obama has had a string of 'oh $hits' in the last two years.
He's toast...without some serious and illegal "acorning", he's destined for the dust bin of tyrants.
Oh, he'll try and lay claim to anything the GOP happens to do that's worthwhile, but all the time he'll be plotting for our, and their, demise.
This man is NOT to be trusted, no matter how wide that colgate smile or how deep the gangsta lean, he's evil and means no good for our country. Anyone who thinks he does - including O'Reilly - is a damned fool.
