Administration meltdowns are hardly novel. In almost every presidency there comes a moment when sheer chaos takes hold, whether self-induced or as a result of an outside crisis.
Vietnam had effectively destroyed Lyndon Johnson by 1967. Watergate unraveled the Richard Nixon administration, as the disgraced president resigned in the face of certain impeachment.
Gerald Ford could not whip inflation and was not re-elected. One-termer Jimmy Carter was undone by the Iranian hostage crisis and skyrocketing oil prices.
For a time, it seemed that Ronald Reagan's second term might not survive the Iran-Contra scandal. George H.W. Bush could not be re-elected after he broke his promise not to raise taxes and Ross Perot entered the 1992 race.
The popular Bill Clinton was impeached over the Monica Lewinsky affair and limped out of office tainted. The insurgency in Iraq and fallout from Hurricane Katrina crashed for good the once-high poll ratings of George W. Bush.

0bama`s busily locking down the special interest groups by the day:
1. Capture the women`s vote with bogus “Republicans hate women” narrative and push for continued tax $ funded abortion and contraception...CHECK
2. Shore up hispanic vote with promises of amnesty and “paths” (read: fast-track) to citizenship in second term... CHECK
3. Keep enviro-whackos excited by doubling down with tax $ on failed “green” industries...CHECK
4. Get those young folk fired up for him again with promises of cheap student loans (if those annoying Repubs would just get out of the way)...CHECK
5. Keep the black vote at 99.9% by sending “Attorney General” Holder to declare solidarity with Al Sharpton over the Trayvon Martin matter...CHECK
I`m already doing that...
Two online sites, as previously posted:
InternationalLiving.com
EscapefromAmerica.com
Their concentration is on Central and South America.
There are probably many other sites, but since I have been
offshore since 2004, I am not in much need for the information.
Baring a disaster, I am now in my final location.
bttt
Thanks!
BTW, are you the guy living in the Phillippines?
“BTW, are you the guy living in the Phillippines?”

Yes, this is my final location, after some years in central Europe.
I am on the island of Cebu, listed by Travel and Leisure Magazine, as the third best island in all of Asia.
Add this:
150 years ago, we had a President from Illinois who fought a war to end slavery.
Today we have a President from Illinois who is fighting a war to make us all slaves.
Going down should not be the end I would like to see prosecutions, convictions and jail time for many.
VDH is always worth reading.
Great graphic.
“No matter what happens, everyone should study up on international living, and be knowledgeable on where to go, and how to get there.”
If America gets too small for me and Someone Else, then Someone Else is going to have some troubles.
Yeah yeah yeah, I know, tough talk.
Lame Duck! Lame Duck!
There used to be a website that listed everything he has done to destroy the country and shred the Constitution but I cannot find it now. My memory disappoints me these days.
I appreciate your post.
"Limped out of office"?
If there was no XXII Amendment, Bill Clinton would still be President.
I’d welcome seeing him dragged out of the office in a straitjacket handcuffs
Ping.
Though VDH is spot on as normal...
With the MSM not only carrying Obama water daily as well as covering up virtually every negative aspect of his administration....
Most Americans are pretty clueless...on how bad this imposter fraud really is...
The only thing I like about Romney is he goes negative without a flinch and does it well...against his GOP opponents...
Obama pretty much has given Romney years of political fodder to use against him....we will know if he is not serious to defeat Obama if he goes soft....
I’m sure the GOP establishment is already telling Romney to act like a gentleman instead of going to the mattresses (Godfather reference)
The GOP in DC don’t realize the left is at full scale war against them and the country...
I wonder if they even know how to go to war...
Those Democrat intellects got to be wondering what Axelrod is doing twitter gossiping of the Romney family vacation when he’s supposed to be running the campaign.
Amazing.
Lincoln didn’t end slavery at all...
He actually sold every American into “slavery”...
Learn the truth about the 14th amendment...
