The Fall of Barack
The American Thinker ^ | 10/25/2013 | William L. Gensert

Posted on 10/25/2013 2:39:43 AM PDT by markomalley

Barack Obama is on schedule to leave office, widely acknowledged as America's worst president.  Somewhere, Jimmy Carter is smiling.

Everything Barry has touched in four years and three quarters has turned to dog excrement.  He has the reverse Midas touch, although there is always plenty of gold for friends, associates and cronies.

Take ObamaCare, for instance -- the ACA is a metaphor for the entire Obama presidency.  Despite polls showing that 85% of Americans were happy with their health insurance, Barry insisted that there was a healthcare "crisis."  Then, never the hardest worker, he allowed Nancy Pelosi and her minions, along with Harry Reid and his minions, to write a 2,000-plus-page monstrosity of a bill, including every liberal fantasy wish from the last half-century. 

Afterward, the "I won" president, through bribes and legislative trickery, shoved the Affordable Care Act down the throat of America, on a strictly partisan vote and before anyone even knew what was in it.

As Nancy Pelosi famously said, "We have to pass the bill so you can find out what's in it."

Well...now we know what's in it.

Joe Biden, always a classy guy, and another metaphor for the Obama presidency, called it "a big [effing] deal."

It wouldn’t bother me a bit if one day I woke up and Barack Obama wasn’t there.

The Won is escaping DC and going on a cross country campaign.

Run and hide is all he can do right now.

Are these people delusional. Obama might have been unpopular in 2010, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. Obama can do whatever he wants now, and his popularity is not diminished.

Don't blame it all on Obama, obviously a subversive fool. What is more dangerous are the millions of Americans who voted for him--twice! And we're going to increase those credulous, not-very-bright citizens with millions of non-English speaking Hispanics! What could possibly go wrong? Would even seasoned gamblers place any money on America's success even after Obama makes a long hoped-for exit? Let's face facts: we have a majority of Low Information voters who are not very bright. They're called Democrats who may work out their bodies but let their brains loll in la-la land and suck up the "free stuff"!

I hope he pulls the whole Democrat Party with him - socialist professors - and the rest of the corrupt want-a-be politicians who’ve passed themselves off as Republicans...I hope the whole thing crashes.

At this point - anyone who thinks Obama is great - is wasting space on this planet and needs to stop being mentally lazy - and get with reality!

Agreed. The real question is whether enough people are paying attention to the failed policies of this administration (both home and abroad) to keep them for voting for the next Democrat liar, Hillary!.

All I can say to the author is, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.” Leftists are expert at blaming their failures on everything but themselves, and too many mushy-headed little socialists are all too happy to promulgate the excuses.

We have not seen that the socialists of this country have collectively learned the power of logical thinking. Nor have we seen that the takers have suddenly realized how fulfilling striving for and achieving success is. Until these things happen to the extent that socialists are voted out all over the country (except perhaps in the enclaves such as Berkeley), I wouldn’t be quick to say that the socialist in chief has been rejected.

Yes, he has idiots among his voters, but do not forget the REAL Marxist thugs that are behind Obumbo. They have the power to rig the vote and buy out any group that they need.
They are the true enemy of America.

The Marxist takeover of education and the media in America is now bearing fruit. Despite how bad Obumbo is, he still has a blind following of morons.

The author just doesn’t understand. Reverse Midas is metaphor for Grand Theft Treasury.

There is no Obama agenda beyond looting the treasury. After they stole all that was there, they borrowed $6 trillion more and then stole that.

The Democrat party is a Criminal Enterprise.

They need to be rounded up and tried by Peoples Tribunals.

Where is our Robespierre?

The Problem as I see it is this A-hole won’t fall fast enough and I don’t think our country can afford any more of his outlandish ideas.

He’s stripping us of our constitutional rights on a daily basis.Spending is into bankruptcy.

I can’t see how any political changes can reverse the damage this communist has done to the country.
