Obama Is In Trouble

So says Mark Tapscott in an excellent column.
Here’s a summary of his points:
Rush Limbaugh: The talk radio legend’s audience has exploded since the first of the year. Even before Rahm Emanuel and the rest of Obama’s goons declared war on him he’d already sold more advertising in the first months of this year than he had in all of 2008. Now that they’ve made him public enemy #1, Rush has more attention than ever. And the drip-drip-drip of his daily broadcasts is going to heavily erode Obama’s popularity.
Glenn Beck: Beck has come onto the radar in a big way. He went from not-so-well-known radio host to CNN personality to Fox News personality, and since he’s hit Fox News his audience – much like Limbaugh’s – has exploded. He, much like Rush, is leading a daily opposition to Obama and his policies.
Public Opinion: Obama still has high approval numbers, but public opinion is turning against his specific politics in a big way. Even Democrats are beginning to think that Obama has overreached on the spending, thus the problems with getting the $410 billion omnibus spending bill through Congress. Nothing is more indicative of this than the fact that the Democrats, despite their much-hyped majorities, now desperately need Al Franken’s vote in Congress to make things work.
Worries Over Socialism: Conservatives are getting a lot of traction with Americans on the spending issues. Obama has engaged in some tricky rhetoric to try and hide the fact that he’s going to ramp up our budget deficits and national debt, and I don’t think Americans are at all comfortable with that. Or the idea of higher taxes which inevitably must be levied to pay off that debt.
Of course, while Obama may be down, he’s certainly not out yet. With his substantial propaganda and oratory skills (as long as he’s got his teleprompter and time to rehearse), and with a mainstream media that’s all too willing to spin along with him, almost anything is possible. But the truth is that Obama is hemorrhaging political capital right now, and if he doesn’t stop the bleeding soon he will be out.

    Either the media will come to his rescue, or we’ll get a dose of “Wag The Dog“….. Bet on it!

    One has to understand that the likelihood that currently broadcast polls are accurate is near nil.

    The problem with his failures is that we, the citizens, end up taking the beating for them. Obama is everything that Bush was accused of, in spades.

    Even Komrade Hugo is offering P.B.O. encouragement…. This ought to send up a few flares to at least a couple of his less enthused supporters……

    The Gang of 16, a group of Rust Belt and industrial state Democrats, is reconvening to brainstorm ways to soften the blow of Obama’s proposed climate program on their states’ economies.

    The group, honchoed by Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), is best known for the pointed letter that 10 of its members sent to Senate leaders last year, citing potential economic damage as a key reason they could not support the Senate’s final cap-and-trade bill.

    At least McCain lost the election.

    The problem is the soonest he can be “out” is 4 years. We can handicap him slightly in 2 years in the ’10 elections but I worry we can’t win enough in ’10 to stop him. If he gets nationalized healthcare and card check, our country as we know it is over – possibly never to be seen again.

    For the first time in my life I hear sane, hard working, two income earners collectively making >$250k, baby boomers talking about leaving the country. Costa Rica appears to be the closest location of choice. Four years ago, two years ago that would have been unheard of, now it comes up frequently. How far we’ve fallen so fast.

    OBAMA’S OWN ADVISORS have admitted that the problem would have self-corrected through normal market responses QUICKER than doing Obama’s program.

    You are high. Even if {HIS OWN ADVISORS!!! OH MY GOD!!!! THE SCANDAL!!!!!} had come to that conclusion, perhaps you can tell me how anyone can predict the future? Did you know that in 2005 bush predicted a budget surplus by 2009? LOL!

    spent several times what Bush managed to across his entire presidency

    Really? Do tell. Add it up for me. Please. See if you can find Obama spending $5 trillion in 40 days. Go head, I’ll wait here.

    You are so damn lucky we are all here fighting to alert the country, wake our fellow citizens up, and prevent this from becoming a collectivist system for the reasons already laid out for you: namely that you’re a threat to any way of life in this country, but only under ours is someone like you tolerated.

    You’re damn lucky we don’t round you people up and put you in re-education camps. Or worse.

    You only show how stupid you are by thinking that any leader could raise the unemployment rate in 45 days. Has nothing to do with the meltdown that started last spring.

    Of course you think sunspots caused the 4 million jobs to be lost under bush.

    I’m still trying to figure out what you do get a bonus when you’re this unintellectual. Does getting the bonus involve polishing the boss’ knob by any chance?

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    HAHAHAHA!!!!

    Yes, that republican Congress did a GREAT job, helping the idiot fratboy double the debt, sucking Abramoff’s cock and setting the stage for the 2009 Great Depression!

    Republican scum will probably be able to hold on to the south but that’s a given. I mean, who wants them anyway? LOL

  • robert108

    Doubling the debt would mean he spent $11 trillion in 40 days.

    Excuse me! So far, he’s only up to about 8 trillion so far. My bad. Most of the debt is due to FDR, LBJ and Carter, so Obama has almost doubled our debt since the beginning of the country.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    Obama’s down? Hmm. Someone’s down, but it’s not Obama.

    For GOP: all pain, no gain

    Four months after John McCain’s sweeping defeat, senior Republicans are coming to grips with the fact that the party is still — in stock market terms — looking for the bottom.

    Republicans this week are processing two sobering new polls that found the party’s support reduced to a slim one-quarter of Americans. In the absence of a popular elected leader, its most visible figure is a polarizing radio host. Its strategic powerhouse is a still-divisive former House speaker forced from power more than 10 years ago.

    And its hopes of demonstrating swift and visible change by pushing people of color to the fore have been dented by the stumbles of the party’s two most prominent non-white leaders, national Chairman Michael Steele and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.

    So perhaps it’s no surprise that many prominent Republicans are forecasting a long winter.

    WOO HOO! I’ll bet most of the party is right here on this blog! LOL

    Obama was in trouble when he aspired to be anything beyond an Alinskyist community agitator. His presidency is the Peter Principle in action.

  • Mickey

    Statistically our greatest growth was when we had a Republican congress so as long as Obama and his fellow Neo Marxists continue to fu*k up we may have a chance to turn the 2010 elections around.

    Well, so far not much has been done!

    Do you think we can go from a $1.2 trillion deficit leftover from bush to a balanced budget during a deep recession that he also inherited? Talk about a dishonest hack! And a dumbass too!

    You people are just assholes. Pure and simple. Nothing will please you short of assasination. It’s why I so enjoy seeing so many of you suffer under the weight of your own voting patterns!

    Tell the kids I said hello and that I’m sorry their futures will be so dim thanks to 30 years of bad conservative policies!

  • robert108

    Hypocritical little dinostem whines about Republican deficits and then get all wet about Chancellor Obama’s nosebleed doubling of the debt; and that’s just in the first forty days!
    Thanks, Obama!

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    Poor stems! They can’t “cipher” as well as Jethro!

    Doubling the debt would mean he spent $11 trillion in 40 days.
    You are a dumbass. No wonder your people don’t control SHIT anymore!

    He signed a bill into law that has committed us to spend well over a trillion dollars even by the most conservative (meaning small, not right wing) estimates. He now wants to tack on another 400+ billion with his new budget ABOVE the current deficits. And he wants to drop another 300+ billion as a DOWN PAYMENT on health care.

    Harp about Bush all you want. Criticism of his deficits is fair…but don’t then pretend that Obama isn’t outpacing him in spending, you dishonest hack.

  • Mickey

    Obama is in trouble !!!! Who gives a shit.

    WE ARE IN TROUBLE!

  • Yerkidnright

    With interest added in to his escapade he HAS spent 11 trillion + in his first 40 days you asshole!

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    Doubling the debt would mean he spent $11 trillion in 40 days.

    You are a dumbass. No wonder your people don’t control SHIT anymore!

  • TomTom

    Dino has diarrhea of the mouth…His brain is oozing SHIT!

  • http://suitepotato.blogspot.com/ sayanything-4808

    You’re still missing the point Dino that OBAMA’S OWN ADVISORS have admitted that the problem would have self-corrected through normal market responses QUICKER than doing Obama’s program. You’re championing an extension of the misery as usual. More than this, he and his had nothing but excoriation for Bush for spending lots of money we didn’t have and running up a gigantic debt, and then turned around and in one shot spent several times what Bush managed to across his entire presidency, creating a debt several times that already made by Bush.

    This is, need I remind you, and yes I do, like going to an arson fire bitching about the arsonist the whole time, while hosing the burning house down with a flamethrower.

    You are so damn lucky we are all here fighting to alert the country, wake our fellow citizens up, and prevent this from becoming a collectivist system for the reasons already laid out for you: namely that you’re a threat to any way of life in this country, but only under ours is someone like you tolerated.
