Obama’s Sinking Presidency
By
Roger Behra
If anyone had doubts and worries as President Obama became America’s new leader those doubts and worries after his first 18 months in office have become a clear cut reality, and more and more people each day are joining the initial group of doubters and worriers. The charm and charisma began to wear off around the sixth month, and his lack of quick action al the start of the BP oil spill disaster has caused his rating to sink very rapidly to and all time low. Obama’s very great lack of experience is glaring, and it is staring everyone squarely in the face.
Shortly after he settled in as president his downward spiral began with the health care travesty. It was a health care remodeling that most Americans were and are against. Then down the pike came the stimulus package that created little or no jobs to rescue America’s economy. While all of this was happening Obama was in Europe bowing at the waist making America is bad speeches in many places. At home his administration was ignoring important laws while at the same time they were marching America toward socialism and unbelievable debt accumulation. And out of the blue then came the horrible BP oil pill disaster; which will go on for a long time to come.
What is making his presidency an early disaster is inexperience, his far to the left leaning, that he and those around him are so arrogant, and that Obama is very slow to make quick, serious, and correct decisions. Obama is smart and powerful, but his presidency is a disaster so far. Coming down the road is his lukewarm friendship with Israel, a strong ally, and the ineffective approach to Iran’s development of a nuclear weapon. Iran knows Obama is a weak president, and Iran has no respect for him. Iran has a great hatred for him and America. This does not bode well for the future of Obama´s presidency at all.
What is also a great possibility is a terrorist attack on America soil that takes the lives of many Americans. Just when America must have a strong and very successful president, she does not have one. A terrorist attack on American soil would be a very severe blow to Obama’s presidency, which is already gasping for air. It no doubt would be a burial ceremony.
Another great possibility is the great economic recession is going to turn into a great depression. And that is lurking around the corner. If it becomes a reality it will be, “Katie, bar the door!”
The age group 19 through 26 was the deciding group that put Obama into office in 2009. Since his inauguration he has lost great popularity also with that age group. Now, as off July 6, 2010, Lady Ga Ga is much more popular than President Obama is on the internet Facebook.
