Credibility lost

Obama's credibility among main stream America is all but gone after this latest disgusting attempt at silencing the free press. How much influence does Obama have to influence the outcome of races nationwide has been greatly weakened lately and in fact may even hurt some candidates in more conservative or independent districts.

Obama a disgrace

If I am running for office Obama is the last person I want stumping for me right now. The man is a disgrace to the United States and the facade that surrounded him during the campaign is gone.

What happens in markets with out-of-control political dissention? The Obama administration is on a “hunker in the bunker” mentality dodging verbal brickbats and accusations flying with great speed and increasing numbers. Some days in that business all your stuff goes bad at the same time. With little or no leadership this was bound to happen. With no logical plan and a loosey-goosey socialist-commie agenda taking policy far away from the voting majority; you’re going to get in some really big trouble. The fallout is of the upheaval kind; as in uncontrollable social problems. US political activity and its attendant louder screaming is growing ever more ugly. Pressure is building as unemployment continues to rise as the party in power pushes even harder for messed-up healthcare. Worst of all, they seem to be ignoring a major firestorm building in Afghanistan and Iran. Domestic events, front-and-center over-shadow international ones. Every where we look we see failure by both parties. The president’s first job is to keep our nation safe. Personally, at this juncture, I worry more for my country than for me. We'll remember in 2010. That's for sure.

lost in DC

interesting that BO's numbers, though falling, are still higher than the numbers for those working to implement his policies. his failures have yet to fully reverse the apotheosis given him since the election.
