Things Fall Apart for Obama
American Thinker ^ | September 9, 2013 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 09/09/2013 10:28:21 AM PDT by NCjim

It's so bad for President Obama that there is now talk of impeachment, not from his foes on the right but from his former allies on the left, if he proceeds with an attack on Syria absent Congressional approval.

. . .

But yesterday it got serious, as prominent blacks intellectual leaders took up the theme. From Buzzfeed:

"It doesn't make sense to commit more war crimes," Cornel West said Sunday on the syndicated radio show Smiley and West, to an approving response from host Tavis Smiley, who has also been consistently critical of Obama. (snip)

"It would be an illegal war. It would be an immoral war for the United States to begin bombing and sending missiles to Syria and killing more innocent people," said West, who is a professor of philosophy at Princeton University.

Later in the discussion of Syria, Smiley said: "If the President doesn't get the vote that he wants... then I hope he has more sense then to go ahead anyway. But you used the phrase 'dictatorial' - and that's exactly what it would be."

"You would think in some ways grounds for impeachment," replied West.

As Fay Voshell noted today on AT, the Huffington Post has taken up the theme of Obama administration corruption.

If Obama continues to flounder, as I expect, the media cofferdam around the less savory aspects of his past may be breached, and all sorts of awkward questions relating to his background, including the financing of his higher education by a Saudi, as alleged by the former Borough President of Manhattan (a black Democrat) may come to the fore, considering that he is proposing intervention on behalf of the side supported by the Saudis in Syria.

Obama is destroying the Democrat brand. The hucksters that make a living pitching the Democrat brand are getting nervous and edgy.

It is tons of fun watching the O-fans on Buzzfeed just rip into all of the left-wingers that are against an attack on Syria. They dont even know why THEY are for it, they just know that being against it is a personal assault on their boy-god.

He is doing better than that. He is destroying the George Soros/Saudi Arabian New World Order types too.

Not saying all or most of this is not true. But I’ll hold off on the champagne until the real evidence of his core support crumbling appears.

Anyone wonder about the ties to Benghazi in this debacle?

I say let this crisis drag on and on and on!!

Every day is a new roadblock for Obama, every week is now described by the media as “the worst week of Obama’s presidency”. He just got back refreshed from that vacation on Martha’s Vineyard and he’s probably already stressed out!

So let it drag on, with more world rebuffs to Obama and his Carousel of Idiots, while the sycophantic US media looks on helplessly as his image falls apart. I’m freakin’ lovin’ this!!!!

Obama is destroying the Democrat brand...

They (those who operate the Obama meat puppet) don't care. They intend to replace it with... something else.

I’m sure if they desk could talk it would speak of volumes of sordid details.

Don’t be surprised if some Muzzy terrorist attack occurs on American soil or possession that’ll be traced back to Syria thus justifying our need to bomb and invade.
