obama is hoping for another attack. Then he can and will declare marital law, incercarate his political enemies and complete his agenda. He will have succeeded. That should warm the cockles of those on this forum who have said, via thir posts, that they want him to succeed.
Not so fast. In case you aren't looking, his popularity numbers have dropped in the 2 weeks he has been president and the people are beginning to wake up to their inexperienced, immature, amateur President-in-Training.
He's trying to get Porkzilla passed and the information seems to be that the support isn't there. As more Americans learn what is in this massive spending handout bill, more and more of them oppose it. Even the DBM is beginning to ask the questions they should have been asking during the campaign.
If the Obamoron is willing to "fall on his sword" to try to bulldoze Porkzilla through the Senate and, especially if he manages to succeed, he will spend the remainder of his one and only term in office trying to regain the trust and support of Americans.
As it is, a growing number of people are paying closer attention to his cabinet picks and all of their tax or other corruption problems. Barring the potential that someone in the House will prefer impeachment charges against him, if he tries to declare martial law, he'll quickly discover that he will have overplayed his hand.
All that time spent voting "present" is coming back to haunt him and prove beyond a doubt that reading speeches written for him by others off of a teleprompter doesn't prepare one to be the President if the United States. He wasn't ready to lead when he began his presidential campaign, he wasn't ready to lead on 1/20/09, and he isn't ready now.
