It seems that, among The Pantload's other crumbling numbers is the fact that he has now fallen far astern of his former presidential rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Dana Milbank, in the Washington Post, writes:
By any measure -- favorability ratings or job approval -- Americans by a sizable margin have warmer views of the secretary of state than they do of the president. This is of little use to Clinton beyond bragging rights, but among Hillary '08 fans there is some satisfaction that the woman Obama once cut down as "likable enough" is now more liked than he is. Depending on the measure and the poll, she leads him by roughly 10 to 25 percentage points.
To understand why, look no further than their calendars for Monday. The president was in Alabama and Mississippi, trying again to change the public perception that his administration has been weak in ts response to the oil spill. The secretary of state was in Washington receiving plaudits for being a "passionate leader" and for taking a "resolute and genuine" stand against human trafficking and slavery.
It is basically another ass-smooch of the libs, by the libs, and for the libs but it is also a comparison of Clinton's performance of her duties and the relative success she has had versus our current Wall-Banger-in-Chief. It also addresses the obvious conclusion:
That statement was enough to send the likes of Bill O'Reilly, the conservative Fox News commentator, to outline a potential Clinton primary challenge to Obama in 2012. There's no sign of such a hallenge, but there's no disputing that Obama has fallen below Clinton.
Yeah, right, WaPo libs, there's no disputing that at all. But then again, everyone's pulled ahead of that challenged, mental midget, obsessed with sucking lemon snow cones up with a straw, glad-handing adoring sycophants on photo-ops, and sashaying around the links instead of dealing with the important aspects of his job.
I guess what is so maddening about this about whole Beltway press corps mindset is that they all raise foreplay to a fine are bordering on the tedious. I mean, their mating rituals before revelations reach climax (he said pruriently torturing the metaphor) are seemingly interminable. So let's cut to the chase and I'll lay my money on the table; go "all in" as it were. What the hell, I don;t have a reputation to preserve here -- leastwise not a rep that's is worth preserving.
Anyway, here's what happens: The Dems take the pipe in November -- like I've said many times before -- and the downward slide begins. Obama -- even more neutered than he is now -- cannot get squat done with what ever power is left to him so he begins to flail. Orders of magnitude more ineffectual and feeling the love leak out of his personal balloon (a though abhorrent to this narcissist), the hatchet-assed metro-sexual engages in an orgy of teleprompter-guided appearances that would make the first ten months of this presidency seem like our leader was Ben Gunn, the marooned recluse on Treasure Island.
Numbers plummet for two reasons: (1) he just flat turns people off with the frequency of his speeches and the halting, condescending speaking style and those horrid, sibilant whistling teeth and (2) his magic has faded and the American Idol public will be searching for another messiah to send a tingle up their legs.
Finally, no one in Congress want to have anything to do with him so he is virtually ignored. And, since he has already appointed a czar to take care of virtually aspect of his job, then he spends the rest of the time out on the links or flying the FLOTUS to various cities for date nights on our nickel.
When it gets to desperation time and becomes readily apparent -- even to the former kneepad media -- this fool will have trashed the (questionable) good name of the Democrat party label, Hillary will burst on the scene, immense thighs quivering, and announce in stentorian tones that she's sick of this crap and is here to save the day.
..and after Hillary has been facing us for weeks with her announcements and pre-campaigning..then..only then..will the WaPo move the story to the front page and give up on trying to find out who the students were that viciously attacked Congressman Ethridge on his way to/from a fundraiser many months ago.
These are great scenarios, War Planner. You really have obumbles pegged!
ReplyDeleteI hope people don't loose their minds again and vote for hillary, though.
Bunni,
ReplyDeleteAs much as a happily married man can express this type of feeling (and to quote my favorite author, John Mortimer), "You are an absolute sweety!"
In late 08' I saw this as a possibility; I knew the manchild would fail, leaving the HildaBeast licking her chops over 2012'.
ReplyDeleteGOD help us.
To certain extent, your scenario(s) is almost as scary as Oobaka at the helm.
ReplyDeleteHillary's approval ratings are, IMHO, illusory at best.
Her actual performance as SoS has been dismal at best, even when you consider she's been little better that a sock puppet for the Leftist, anti-Israel cronies clustered at Dear Leaders elbow.
I'd almost rather have Biden at the helm, and he's an idiot.
At least I get some sense (from him) that he's a patriot.
Unfortunately, doors A, B, and C all lead to the same destination: we're fooked.
Ironwolf,
ReplyDeletewe just need her to shake things up from December 2011 through June 2012. She'll scrape so much hide off that sorry sumbitch that he will be left bleeding and broken.
The GOP could run a state senator against him and he'd lose..
..hmmmmm.
