July 2009 Really Sucks if You’re President Obama
The Hill has a report out today that points out the severity of the suckage:
“The Obama administration, which was flying high a month ago after pushing through a climate change bill in the House, has since been dealt a series of setbacks and is struggling to regain its footing.”
“After the climate bill passed 219-212 on the afternoon of June 26, there was a feeling that the White House could get much of its agenda through Congress in 2009.”
“A month later, there are doubts that President Obama will even achieve his No. 1 priority of healthcare reform, much less cap-and-trade, immigration reform and a regulatory revamp of the financial sector.”
As if that wasn’t bad enough, Obama has Ben Stein nipping at his heels with statements like “We’ve Figured Him Out.”
“Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.”
“The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill — a great idea in theory — was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans.”
“Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.”
If you’re Obama, you’re just trying to push through your ultimate power grabbing “health care reform” bill and you end up getting thwarted by the damn “Blue Dogs” in your own party:
“So-called Blue Dog Democrats continued to resist key aspects of their party’s health-care overhaul Sunday, despite pressure from party leaders who fear they will endanger President Barack Obama’s most ambitious legislative effort.”
“A leader of the fiscally conservative group of representatives said he expects any vote on the House’s health proposal would have to wait, likely until after Labor Day. “I think the American people want to take a closer look at this legislation. They want to feel more comfortable with it,” Rep. Jim Cooper, a Blue Dog from Tennessee, said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
As if that wasn’t bad enough, you’re tanking in the polls.
The people of Israel have figured out that you don’t give a damn about them.
And the good news of the day is Sarah-freaking-Palin. WTF?
What’s a community organizer to do?
Have a beer and go on an extravagant vacation.
