9 reasons why the White House is imploding
Kevin Danielsen June 12, 2012 3:31 pm
The Obama administration seems to be falling on hard times these days, as their 'chickens come home to roost'. Unfortunately for the incumbent President, all of this is taking place just 5 months before that fearful November voting day. As the administration continues to collapse under the tremendous weight of scandals, gaffes, and congressional investigations, it can be difficult to keep track of them all. So, to keep things easy …we've decided to keep track of them for you. Here are 9 reasons why the White House is imploding.
#9 – Obama's commerce secretary, John Bryson, "had been cited for a felony hit-and-run after allegedly crashing his car three times over the weekend. In one incident, the previously obscure Cabinet officer apparently rear-ended a Buick, spoke to the car's occupants, then hit the vehicle again as he left." [The Washington Post report]
#8 – The US and Pakistan are at a near standstill in cooperation for the War on Terror. A NYDailyNews.com article reports: "But diplomatic observers in the US capital noted that 'no spin can hide the fact that relations between the two countries are at their worst now', as one of them said on an American news channel."
#7 – Bill Clinton is now breaking ranks. As reported from Pal-Item.com: "Now it appears Obama is getting a taste of Romney's stew. Democrats seem to be inching away from their man, undermining and diminishing the president with a thousand tiny cuts. Not even his strongest, alleged ally, Bill Clinton, can stay on message."
#6 - As IJReview.com reported earlier today, Obama's younger voters are becoming 'disillusioned'. Obama's prime voter base was the youngsters, but they're just not interested anymore. The report says, "In fact, it is this demographic that would have felt the brunt of the President's failed policies."
#5 – Attorney General Holder is facing 'contempt of Congress' charges, because of his refusal to hand over documents in regards to intelligence leaks and operation 'Fast and Furious'. The Boston Herald reports: "Top House Republicans, saying the Justice Department is "out of excuses," scheduled a committee vote to hold Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. in contempt of Congress for refusing to provide subpoenaed documents" Don't worry, we'll come back to the delinquent Attorney General.
#4 -One of the biggest lessons from the Clinton administration that Obama decided to ignore (which is perhaps one reason why Bill Clinton isn't too fond of the guy) was, 'It's the economy, stupid!'. Obama is still facing unemployment that is over 8% and it is projected to stall again. The Herald Sun article states: "BETTER-than-expected job figures for May could be short-lived, with businesses planning to reduce employment to the lowest level in more than two years, a survey has found." Obama's inability to create jobs could cost him his own.
#3 -These words are still ringing in our ears: "The private sector is doing fine." Immediately, conservative pundits and candidates used those words as cannon fodder for the campaign trail… and for good reason. How can you possibly say something like that with so many people out of work, just on the heels of the depressing newly-released economic numbers? [IJ Review article, Obama: Well, ok… not so "fine".
#2 - Now, we're back to Attorney General Eric Holder. Today, Tim Mak from Politico wrote: "Sen. John Cornyn on Tuesday called upon Attorney General Eric Holder to resign in a heated exchange before the Senate Judiciary Committee." The article goes on to say Senator Cornyn's words: "It is more with sorrow than regret and anger that I would say that you leave me no alternative, than to join those who call upon you to resign your office." It appears as if Barry should hire new help.
The number 1 reason why the Obama White House is collapsing was Governor Walker's win in Wisconsin. Here's why:
It shows that Obama's policies do not work, but Walker's policies do. It shows that an overwhelming majority want government fiscal responsibility, and they would vote for it again in a heartbeat. It shows that Obama is certain to lose yet another entire state. And last of all, it shows that Obama knows this to be true; which, is why he abandoned his buddy ol' pal, Barret, to burn on election night. FoxNews.com's Chris Stirewalt reports:
On the Friday before the Wisconsin election, Obama even flew over the state as he jumped from a campaign speech and three fundraisers in Minnesota to Chicago, where he spoke at three more fundraisers. Six fundraisers in adjacent states on the same day, but no time for Barrett?"
The consequences of these actions means that he's going to have to go it alone. Ultimately, elections are decided by how many people like you. So, if your 'friends' are turning their backs (like Obama did to Barret), you might as well start packing for Chicago – it's going to be a long trip.
Democrats, both liberal and moderate, are casting blame on the president. When Bill Clinton and his old teammates like Steven Rattner and Ed Rendell raise eyebrows about Obama's attacks on Mitt Romney's work as a CEO, or when former Obama green jobs czar Van Jones rails against Obama's unfulfilled potential, they are getting on the record with their doubts.
If Obama loses in the fall, those folks will be free to shrug their shoulders and say that it wasn't their fault that he lost. They did warn him, after all."
SHARE this so those who think Barry will easily win can see why he may not!
