OBAMA A Lame Duck

nero_bolt — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 09:26:45 GMT

Obama is now more of a lame duck after the mid terms than he has been this year.

A totally inept leader thats done nothing at all for the USA

The American people have spoken and Obama is the loser

Lets see how many of his inept policies get through both houses now......

Forget a carbon tax from Obama

Remember Barack Obama’s madly messianic boast in 2008 when Democrats made him their presidential candidate?

This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow, and our planet began to heal.

Greg Sheridan says global warmists here can now go weep over what American voters have just done there, giving Republicans control of Congress:

Obama now faces a frustrating final two years in which he may need to exercise the presidential veto to protect his unpopular healthcare package…

For Australia, one of the most important consequences of the election is that it cements an implacable congressional majority against any US carbon tax or emissions trading scheme.

The US joins Canada, Japan and Australia — and of course the entire developing world — in rejecting a carbon tax or ETS as the primary national response to climate change…

Obama could never live up to the emotionalism, hype, hysteria and transcendent expectation of his election in 2008. Finally, Icarus fell to earth.

Charles Krauthammer:

The National Weather Service has upgraded the election from tropical storm to tsunami, especially the results of the governorships.

If you look at the bluest states in the country, Maryland, Illinois, Massachusetts, all gone Republican ..

I think the president’s reaction is going to be aggressive.

He doesn’t like being ignored as he was in the run-up [to the Mid-terms] and he’s going to hate becoming irrelevant.

It seems the Obama legacy is slipping away and he may only be remembered as the first black president of the USA and not much else.

It's not that old. I sincerely hope you don't have to go back to the George W Bush days again.

He was only ever an apparent choice of difference over the republican candidate, but never ever was he actually going to be any different.

It's the same here. We think we can choose Liberal over Labor, or Labor over Liberal and there will actually be a difference.

There has probably been no actual differences offered by our political parties and their politicians since Gough Whitlam, who actually did make a difference.

And look what happened to him.

Remember, in America voting is not compulsory, so only the interested vote, the rest just do the complaining no matter who is in charge.

At least here we have to take an interest in our political parties before we have to vote.

Uhh, no we don't. We just have to vote. That's the law, and as is often the case, those who take no interest but who have to vote anyway, just vote informal or do the donkey vote.

And, it doesn't matter anyway. it's all the same outcome. Apparent choices, remember?

Oh no..she never gave him a surf board.

Surfboard diplomacy: Tony Abbott wants to ensure Barack Obama is Australia’s best mate

TONY Abbott has revealed a secret and unlikely admiration for the world’s most powerful leader, describing Barack Obama as an “extraordinarily gifted man” and a potential friend to rival past presidents.

The PM has also revealed a surprising affection for his political polar opposite, claiming his hope was that they would depart good friends after their meeting.

I, for one, would gladly go back to those days when we actually had a leader....a president.

I'm surprised. He was a laughing stock here. Howard liked him though.

Let's face it US boardies. We hear all about your politics and politicians and you hear nothing about ours. Is that correct?

Re: OBAMA A Lame Duck

iapetus_rocks — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:25:58 GMT

I think that their politics are the same as ours in this respect, at least . . . that those who can afford to buy representation are the only ones who actually gain representation.

Obama is certainly not a lame duck, inept, or a token president. He is exactly what he was put in the white house to be, a puppet for the globalists and he does his job very well. No diffrent than most, maybe most all others before him.

Please don't excuse corruption away by saying "oh they just made mistakes or don't know what their doing" Trust me on this, they know exactly what they are doing. At the very least, we should give them credit for how very smart they are to pull the wool over the eyes of so many people. Obama is one of the greatest con artists there are and incredibally smart and charming.
