Obama’s inevitable shellacking This president has almost no hope for re-election
The Washington Times ^ | 16 May 2012 | Brett M. Decker

Posted on 05/16/2012 4:59:26 PM PDT by mandaladon

Just about every objective indicator foreshadows a huge re-election defeat for President Obama. With every day that passes, Mr. Obama looks more like a loser.

That’s because there is doom and gloom everywhere you look. When government mathematical fudging is stripped away, unemployment is stuck over 10 percent. Economic growth is practically nonexistent and promises to slide downhill even more in the coming months with Europe and its banks rapidly collapsing. Due to Mr. Obama’s out-of-control deficit spending, the national debt is at a heart-stopping $15.7 trillion, which erases a whole year of economic output by our entire country. With the Supreme Court poised to strike down Obamacare, his only signature legislative achievement, the president will have nothing to show for four years in office other than record misery.

Polls give a glimpse of the shellacking to come in November. Recent surveys have pegged Republican candidate Mitt’s Romney's lead over Mr. Obama as high as 7 percent, with the elephant’s advantage among crucial independents as high as 10 points. Perhaps most ominous of all for the incumbent is Mr. Romney’s new lead among women. This support is not as shocking as it first sounds. The tired narrative about women voting in mass for Democrats who support abortion is only partially true and unfairly lumps all women together. In fact, the GOP traditionally does well with married women and those who go to church regularly, which is a big chunk of that demographic group. When the voting bloc is diced up by sex, Democrats basically only win minorities and those clinging to issues such as abortion and hopes for federally subsidized birth control. Aside from liberal extremists, most women vote on the economy and bread-and-butter issues, which is why Mr. Romney now leads among all women by 2 points.

Well I am kinda worried he is going to fold now and show up again in 2016! It’s going to take decades to undo his damage and he does not appear ready for a quiet civilian life. He will be as big or bigger a problem as an ex-President out on the streets with a bullhorn making people crazy. He is truly evil.

A woman told me tonight that she was terrified that obamacare would make her buy health insurance.

Said it would break her.

She voted obama last time.

Zer0 and H0lder in the same jail cell serving life or 2,000 years for the murder of at leaast 200 under the gun running of Fast and Furious. And they want to continue it??? Maybe a harsher penalty is in order. It would be for anyone else except our black marxist rulers.

I guess Brett hasn't run into the Useful Idiots in my Wife's Family.

It's kind of hard to talk to them while I'm distracted by their constant drooling.

And then you woke up. It’s “martial” not marshal. A marshal is a law enforcement officer - eg. Wyatt Earp, the old marshal.

Can we stop with the martial law, suspend the Constitution, round up people for detention camps under Denver airport, suspend the elections? I mean really!

Every president since George HW Bush was going to do this! It’s ridiculous!

That is what Obamacare was designed to do. Break her and the rest of us. That was the reason for the rush to pass the bill into law before anyone could read it. It had to passed before we could find out what was in it.

I’m not a subscriber to the “George Soros rules the world” theory but if I was I’d have to think that Mitt Romney would serve his purposes adequately.

The more stupid statements, idiotic policies and outright lies we get from Obummer, the more I suspect he has a HUGE “Plan B” in store for us. He should be at his peak but instead he’s sinking like a streamlined anvil.

Time to start burying the stockpiles and turning paper assets into cash (if cash is still going to be worth anything after the balloon goes up). We’ve got less than six months until the election and only five months until any October Surprise is unleashed.

“Almost no chance”?

Then he’s either delusional or has something up his sleeve, because he acts awful danged confident.

Right. I knew that. Just testing astute observers.

>> He can suspend the Constitution and declare martial law.

> I see this a lot, but I don't know where in the Constitution the president gets this power.

[cough] "in the Constitution" [cough] say what????

What makes you think he needs to find some passage in the Constitution to permit his actions?

Isn't that exactly the point? He uses the Constitution as toilet paper.

The GOPe has an excellent record of snatching defeat from victory. Robamaney is a two headed coin. The US is screwed.

This electorate selected this ass clown once before. Don’t be shocked if it happens again.

After 2008, I have zero faith in the imbecilic American electorate.

“If hussein really does feel he is going to lose, watch out for “Scorched Earth”. He won’t go quietly into the night.”

Yup, there will be some sort of Reichstag fire. You can count on it! I am hoping that our ‘Ace in the Hole’, Bibi Netanyahu, will figure out a way to get rid of him. He knows that if Obozo wins again Israel is done for. I don’t think he will let that happen. Also he hates Zero’s guts, as if that is not motivation enough!

A guy can dream can’t he? Or did they pass legislation to curtail that practice?
