And, So It Begins

As I've been saying since day one of the Obama Presidency, Obama's policies are so outlandish, destructive, and contrary to the American Tradition that the American people will rise up in anger at our leaders.

I have been predicting that the kind of anger that will arise will be of such intensity that it will require a "Sacrifice", in order for the country to right itself.

I have been predicting that, while Obama is good at getting Congress to do his bidding, and though Congress signs their names on all these bills, ultimately, it will be easier to sacrifice one man, than the entire 535 members of Congress.

Therefore, as I have been predicting, I do not think it is likely Obama will last one term in office. I think it is likely he will be chased from office by Congressmen in fear of the loss of their own jobs. 

I do not believe Obama will be impeached. He is very good at keeping clean. Instead, I believe the members of Congress will overwhelmingly vote for a resolution which will criticize Obama for exactly the things that the Tea Party people (who I believe are Constitutional Centrists, not right-wing extremists) are saying about Barack Obama. That is that his policies are outside the American Tradition, and in some cases, they seem to be downright UnConstitutional.

This Resolution will constitute, in essence, a sort of "No Confidence" vote such as exists in Parliamentary forms of government.

And here we see the beginning of the coming avalanche that I believe will fall on Obama's head.


Charlie Cook: Dem situation has 'slipped completely out of control'

Charlie Cook, one of the best political handicappers in the business, sent out a special update to Cook Political Report subscribers Thursday that should send shivers down Democratic spines.

Reviewing recent polling and the 2010 election landscape, Cook can envision a scenario in which Democratic House losses could exceed 20 seats.

"These data confirm anecdotal evidence, and our own view, that the situation this summer has slipped completely out of control for President Obama and Congressional Democrats. Today, The Cook Political Report’s Congressional election model, based on individual races, is pointing toward a net Democratic loss of between six and 12 seats, but our sense, factoring in macro-political dynamics is that this is far too low," he wrote.

"Many veteran Congressional election watchers, including Democratic ones, report an eerie sense of déjà vu, with a consensus forming that the chances of Democratic losses going higher than 20 seats is just as good as the chances of Democratic losses going lower than 20 seats."

Cook scrupulously avoided any mention that Democratic control of the House is in jeopardy but, noting a new Gallup poll showing Congress’ job disapproval at 70 percent among independents, concluded that the post-recess environment could feel considerably different than when Congress left in August.

"We believe it would be a mistake to underestimate the impact that this mood will have on Members of Congress of both parties when they return to Washington in September, if it persists through the end of the Congressional recess."

Wee wee'd? They will probably use the excuse I saw on the on the People's Cube that says something like "Obama inherited Bush's broken Teleprompter."
