These words appeared in this newspaper under a headline reading “Obama is heading for a one-term presidency” less than two months after the president took the oath of office:
“There won’t be a second Obama term if he doesn’t admit that, no matter how adroitly he wraps himself in Reaganesque rhetoric, Leviathan is no better suited for 2009 than it was in 1933 for FDR …
“But that’s not the main reason Obama’s prospects for gaining a second term in 2012 are already fading faster than a Maine RINO can forget what being a Republican means. Obama is making himself the symbol of what’s wrong with Washington rather than being the agent of change in Washington.”
At that point in March 2009, Washington was awash in controversy over Obama’s economic stimulus program and dazzled by the spontaneous eruption of Tea Party protests across the nation.

I'm so surprised he has lasted this long , with all the militant groups within our borders , impeachment , or just plain thrown out of the white house.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be one hell of a note when Nancy Pelosi is your only friend.
He has surrounded himself with Maxists and Communists.
ReplyDeleteIs there any surprize that he won't last?
He was elected for emotional reasons by a lot of Americans, and pleanty of illegals. His record speaks facts that overide the emotion.
proved fools run the country and ballot box
ReplyDeleteAll I hear this guy talk about is how the "fat cats" need to pay their fair share and increasing their taxes is the way to do it. Now, I'm on Social Security and work part time yet I pay more income taxes than General Electric Corporation does. Obama could raise GE's tax rate by 1000% and that would STILL equal $0 in taxes collected from them because the tax code permits them to avoid any taxes. Is Obama talking about this? No.
ReplyDeleteWhile GE gets away with giving Obama $500K in campaign contributions in lieu of paying any taxes, we see our taxes and fees grow every year. Throw the rest of the Bums out in 2012.
Well he reminds me of a Black guy on Welfare; Party all the time and when the money runs dry move to another area...
ReplyDeleteObama will win in a landslide. Just wait and see.
ReplyDeleteAl he has talked about reforming the codes and closing loopholes. He used the corporate jet deduction as a notable example.
ReplyDeleteOh, take "it" to the American people...like health care reform.
ReplyDeletehey 10:18
ReplyDeleteYou better pray he don't win!!!!!
10:18, you're right.
ReplyDeleteThis article is way off base.
Much like 2004 was "anybody but Dubya' "
ReplyDeleteamericans all proved that they can elect an african american and now they wish they hadnt worst president ever!
ReplyDelete12:14, you're totally wrong.
ReplyDeleteBush Jr. was a WAY worse president
he got us into this mess
If hillary had won you'd be saying
"well they proved they could elect
a woman". . .has nothing to do with
that. Racism on your part is the
problem.
