No Good Path to Re-election for Obama


The number of negative events that have hit President Obama this week is not unprecedented but the quality of the bad news (9 on a scale of 1 to 10) should make one think that he is not electable. That’s the good news. The bad news is don't count him out yet.

In the past week we have seen a serious mic gaffe at the nuclear summit and while he was trying to walk back his comments that no one was buying, his top legal minds were getting beaten up in front of the Supreme Court. It was so bad that Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, had to be thrown a lifetime by the liberal justices (I think they truly felt sorry for him). Gas prices continue to rise to unprecedented levels. A recent poll shows 68% of Americans are angry at the president, his approval rating is hovering around 41%, and we won't even mention his comments about Trayvon Martin which has taken us in so many directions it's hard to keep track. The former DNC chairman Howard Dean predicted that the individual mandate would be declared unconstitutional. Current DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz in staying true to her fantasy thinking says that Obama's base is “pretty darn excited” as they were in 2008. I think not. All of this leaves Obama in a very precarious position. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.



Instead of making the decisions that will help the country move forward he has punted the ball on every issue that he has faced. The people that surround Obama are the most inept and unqualified people, which gives you a good idea why most if not all, could never make it in the private sector. He has not stopped blaming others since the day he was sworn in. His lack of executive experience shines through each and every time he opens his mouth. His golden tongue has turned into sour grapes. If I had to give only three reasons for not voting for Obama it would be domestic policy, foreign policy, and Joe Biden. That pretty much covers his whole presidency.

America is an idea that has worked for 236 years and in three short years Obama has taken us on the road to failure. Obama is going to do everything that he can to win this election. This is not an option. The only option is retirement. I'll buy the watch.
