The Obama Watch
The Coming Resignation of Barack Obama
It’ll come as Democrats abandon him.
(Page 2 of 2)
But the Gulf oil spill emanates from federal waters, which means President Obama is directly in charge, not state and local officials. And his derelictions are losing his own supporters. Democrat Powers writes, “If he promised us anything, Obama promised us competence. Instead, we’ve gotten the Keystone Cops.” As Peggy Noonan said of the Democrats in last weekend’s Wall Street Journal, “In time — after the 2010 elections go badly — they are going to start to peel off. The political operative James Carville, the most vocal and influential of the President’s Gulf critics, signaled to Democrats this week that they can start to peel off. He did it through the passion of his denunciations.” Therein lies the beginning of the end.
That end will be greatly accelerated if any email, document, or other serious evidence turns up indicating that President Obama or his cronies delayed the federal response in any way because they thought the spreading spill would advance their political agenda. Or if any evidence arises that Obama failed to respond to Jindal for partisan political reasons.
Geometric Downward Spiral
Moreover, all of this is just what’s happening now. What leads me to predict President Obama’s early political demise are his numerous, enormous vulnerabilities to further adverse developments, threatening a geometrically accelerating downward spiral, for him politically, and for America substantively.
Now and for the next six months, we will be enjoying the high point of the Obama economy, the tippy top of the Obamanomics, Keynesian, roller coaster. If Art Laffer’s Coming Crash of 2011 arrives next year, or if the economy just dips into another downturn, President Obama no longer enjoys the political base to survive it. With African Americans suffering Depression-level unemployment for over a year now, even that most solid of all political bases will weaken and waver in the face of a renewed downturn.
Under the President’s leadership, Congressional Democrats continue to pile more and more taxes on the investment necessary to create jobs and prosperity, “the most punitive tax rates on investment income since the late 1970s,” as The Wall Street Journal reported on May 27. Even before Obama and the New Left takeover of Washington, the top 1% of taxpayers were already paying more in income taxes than the bottom 95% combined, as the Tax Foundation has accurately reported based on official IRS data. But this is not enough for the Obamunistas, who are justifying still higher taxes saying the rich must pay their “fair share,” sort of like the last of the Romanov family had to pay their fair share.
This punitive tax piracy is already starting to cause capital flight from the U.S., which will accelerate into an outright capital jail break from America next year. That will only hasten a renewed downturn, cripple job creation, and restore rising unemployment. The American people will not endure mismanagement of the now two-year-old financial crisis into an extended depression.
Moreover, with the federal deficit already at a record smashing $1.6 trillion this year, a renewed recession next year will only cause it to soar further. How long can that go on before we arrive at Greece, where the markets refuse to buy the bonds necessary to finance the deficit, at least without soaring interest rates, which would only cause further economic decline.
Meanwhile, the Fed has long been busily creating new economic bubbles with its overly extended easy money and zero interest rate policies. Monetary policies so loose that they should be considered pornographic are creating new vulnerabilities for the President, which will arise as sudden surprises involving new dollar, interest rate or inflation scares. When the Fed finally decides it must pull back, it has laid the foundation for the bubbles to burst again, further inspiring economic downturn. Gold is already higher than the S&P 500. That is a blaring warning sign of trouble ahead.
Another blind spot for the President is energy policy itself. Those opposed to further offshore drilling need to end their hypocrisy and stop using the remaining oil and gas still available to the rest of us. Cap and tax is one of the biggest economic and political blunders in history just waiting to happen, a greater potential party builder for the Republicans than Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt combined. The American people for once will be unified in coming together to get Democrats out of office so that the obvious, huge, fat, unnecessary, cap and tax cost sitting on top of the American economy can be removed. As the price of gas climbs over $4 a gallon due to that and to President Obama’s anti-production policies, the public riot demanding immediate change in leadership will surprise establishment Washington.
Adding to all of this are the grave vulnerabilities posed by Iran successfully developing nuclear weapons, and President Obama’s foreign policy weaknesses generally, which just invite war. Devilishly pursuing the opposite of every one of Reagan’s policies, instead of Peace Through Strength, Obama is inviting War Through Weakness. If Iran launches a bloody attack on Israel, open calls for his resignation will be widespread. If Iran uses a nuclear weapon in that attack, or in any other attack against American interests, the Obama Administration will be over politically.
The President himself has laid the foundation for his biggest political vulnerability of all. He won our votes and the election in 2008 with “the firm pledge” not to raise taxes “in any form” on anyone making less than $250,000 a year. Now he has already backed away from that pledge to the American people by creating a Presidential Deficit Commission, with “everything on the table,” including tax increases on working people in direct violation of the pledge. The much discussed Value Added Tax (VAT) could not be a more direct violation of the no tax increase pledge, increasing the prices of everything working families buy.
When the President directly violates the pledge that got him elected by openly endorsing such a tax increase, his resignation will immediately become a central political issue. The above problems and vulnerabilities will come together to increase the pressure for resignation to unbearable levels.
As Peggy Noonan suggested, the key will be the Democrats themselves (though she has never said a word about possible resignation). After suffering grievous losses in this year’s elections, they will have limited tolerance for the above described political pressures and chaos. With the very survival of their party at stake, the Democrats will buckle and desert President Obama, joining the calls for his resignation. At that point, with zero prospects for reelection, and unable to govern effectively, he will resign.

This will happen if moderate democrats, financial institutions and the media determine they will lose everything unless t\Obama and his ideological pack are sent packing. Then you will see the blood ooze from any orifice it can find.
Next will come a renewed interest in political science and a slew of books on the last fall of the progressive movement.

Resignation would mean Biden takes charge. Who are we kidding! We will go from grossly incompetent to absolutely clueless leadership. I see no light at the end of this tunnel, not until 2012.

MTB| 6.3.10 @ 6:13PM
I know I'm late, but I have to chime in. What could happen is Obama resigns, Biden becomes Pres and nominates Pelosi as VP. As soon as she's confirmed and sworn in, Biden resigns, making Pelousy the first female pres (and also just as clueless as the One).
Jan| 6.3.10 @ 7:03PM
Pelosi's too stupid--and that's saying a lot for the clueless corruptocrat dems.

Charles Martel| 6.4.10 @ 3:06AM
At least now we know why you were late: you were out getting very, very high. "Biden resigns"?? You cannot but be joking.
All of this is envisioned as happening no earlier than 2011. What makes you think that the Senate of the 112th Congress would confirm the likes of Pelosi as vice president? In that Congress, San Fran Nan will be a bitter backbencher.
If I had to place a bet, I'd put my chips on Evan Bayh in the role of Nelson Rockefeller. And in the absence of his own felonies or gross malfeasances, President Biden would not be leaving office voluntarily; in fact, even in their presence, he'd hang on like grim death.

john white| 6.6.10 @ 9:45AM
Mary Ann, we're in trouble precisely because of bad political leadership. One would have to be totally ignorant of history not to see that liberalism (both inside and outside government) and its political bed mates in the Democrat party and the MSM have been systematically destroying our country by undermining the basic values of our nation's heritage for over 70 years.
It was bad political leadership that gave us FANNIE MAE and FREDDIE MAC (congress and several presidents) in the first place and our current financial mess. It was bad political leadership (congress and the president) that wasted billions of taxpayer's dollars on the failed TARP and STIMULUS bills. It was bad political leadership (congress and the president) that passed two of the most costly national budgets in our nation's history, astronomically expanding our budget deficit and our debt. It was bad political leadership (congress and the president) that, through back room deals and willful ignorance, passed the trillion dollar health care bill, further expanding our national debt. I could go on but you get the point. Our political leadership has failed us, and we're suffering for it.
To quote Jeremiah Wright, our political chickens are coming home to roost.
Mary Ann Miller| 6.6.10 @ 6:02PM
Our country was founded on a two party political system. Each party has their own platform. Typically, the one not in office blames the problems of our country on the other. Thankfully, Republicans and Democrats have been able to resolve their differences and come together for the good of the country. That doesn't seem to be happening now because there is such a division in our country. Barach Obama was elected President by a majority of the citizens of this country and as such deserves our respect and support. Perhaps you would prefer a one-party government? Don't worry, you'll have your chance to foul things up again - hopefully it won't be as bad as the last time - that was too close for comfort.
Scott | 6.7.10 @ 8:38AM
"Thankfully, Republicans and Democrats have been able to resolve their differences and come together for the good of the country."
Mary Ann I don't know what you are smoking, but you need to stop it, because it is making your brain soft! Dimbulbs and Republicans DO NOT WORK TOGETHER. The dims have run amok since taking over Congress. And now with emperor peewee in charge, they are free to wreak havoc. It will take a GENERATION to fix the damage they have done to this country, if it can EVER BE FIXED.
aproudpatriot| 6.8.10 @ 5:23PM
The last time was bad, you are correct.....but it could not hold a candle to THIS TIME. It has passed the point of no return. Plus, I still have not seen a real U.S. birth certificate for Obama....which would also require him to be removed from office. Unfortunately, it will all be too late to stop the financial damange done..... all the bailouts and other financial red ink spilling out of the government; OUR tax dollars.
Windel| 6.9.10 @ 1:38AM
Democrats have been becoming more and more socialist leaning since 1931, and now are truly socialist. What does it mean to be a socialist? Let me ask you this, Would you allow me to reach into your purse and remove enough money to pay my electric bill, without your permission? I would think not. If you wanted to help me, and gave me the money, that’s another thing. So, If you say I don’t have the right to take your money, how can you give that right to the government? Yet, that is exactly what a socialist government is about, including Comrade Obama.
Cheryl| 6.9.10 @ 5:45PM
Obama has done nothing to deserve or respect or support. He does not respect this country or its people and only wants to be leader of the world. He is an arrogant, thin skinned, marcist, radical muslim terrorist who wants to destroy this county
and the freedoms it has always stood for. If he is a natural born citizen, don't you think he would show his birth certifiate. He is a lying, deceiving SOB that should be hung
BettySueLA | 6.10.10 @ 4:27AM
Are there idiots here who SUPPORT Fraudbama? My God, have some pride you loons. It doesn't matter if he's a Demoncrap or not. He is literally destroying America. We're basically done. It's at the point where he should and could be impeached for treason. I highly suggest that we get ready to do whatever it takes to legally remove him, instead of waiting for the World Prom Queen, crack smoking fool that he is, to admit he's a joke.
Two years of watching the imbeciles in this country support this jerk has basically been the saddest time of my life. I am making a documentary about voter fraud...he didn't even win the Demoncrap Primary. This entire "Presidency" is nothing but FRAUD from a criminal usurper. He has to GO. NOW. And if you support this fraudulent jerk, you should just get the hell out of America, trash.
IM4US| 10.12.10 @ 9:18AM
THANK YOU for making a documentary about "Voter Fraud". People seem to think if they go vote that all will be well. I just seen a woman, laughing and PROUD saying she voted for O-DUMMA 18 times! The dead, the disney charachters, electronic voting, ACORN.....I would LOVE to see your documentary! Our country has been hijacked and voting is not going to do one thing as they have the deck stacked already! I am not saying don't vote, but I AM saying it doesn't matter anymore....These creeps will put in who THEY deem fit to finish thier agenda and our country. Those who want to "change" our country in this manner need to get the he** out now! I hate to say it, but WE are going to have to overthrow this usurper and SOON! Everyday he is going at breakneck speed to ruin us. And so far..he's doing it!
Earle| 6.13.10 @ 1:07AM
The Bush years are always being blamed for everything that has gone wrong in the last (10) years now. What everyone seems to forget is that the Democrats took over the Congress and senate in Bush's second term, and he could do nothing, good or constructive after that because they had a political strangle hold on him.
Mac| 6.14.10 @ 5:45PM
52% to 48% is not an overwhelming majority. Obama had 62 million votes to McCain's 57... So, what super majority of America are you talking about? And if that be the case, then why did people so openly protest Bush during his 8 years? He had a majority of the vote, and by your own standard, thus should have been given the benefit of the doubt. Obviously, that logic is fundamentally flawed. No matter if 100% of the people voted for Obama, like say they did for dictators like Saddam, the ability to hold leaders accountable for the poor decisions that they make is more than just a right, it is a responsibility. Deal with the real issues at hand. This administration has been a disaster and has done more damage in terms of debt in 2 years than Bush did in 8 years. The numbers don't lie.
As for me, I don't really care what party someone comes from just believe in limited government, traditional values, and leave me alone to live my life for better or worse. I will be alright. But seriously, all you're doing is showing your ignorance to the issues at hand.
Hoppy| 6.16.10 @ 5:50PM
You should at least learn to spell his name correctly. And a two-party system may work best, but not THESE two parties.
Roy| 6.19.10 @ 9:16PM
No sorry, this country was not founded on a two party system. Actually parties have done more for the slide from the constitution and true liberty than anything. Did not take long for parties to get involved and pretend partisanship only a couple elections and they were in existence. Both parties are culpable in the downfall of this country. The current executive branch is merely just another republic killer and the mainstream repubs are not any different, I cant believe people dont see that. Its called the left/right paradigm and I invite everyone to try to think on their own.
dredrunde| 7.24.10 @ 7:04PM
Sorry, not true. Our country was founded WITHOUT parties. In fact, President Washington said in his Farewell Address, "In contemplating the causes, which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by Geographical discriminations, Northern and Southern, Atlantic and Western; whence designing men may endeavour to excite a belief, that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence, within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heart-burnings, which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those, who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection."
He WARNED AGAINST political parties!
Joe Radmacher| 9.5.10 @ 8:00AM
What a bunch of dreamers, do you really expect Obama to repair all the damage Bush did to this nation in his eight year tenure? Every negative scenario put forward sounds like something that would come out of Palin's mouth.
We really need the Republicans back in power so they can finish ruining The United States like they did when they were in power last decade. Most of you just don't like the fact that Obama was elected in the first place and you will never give him a break no matter how well he performs.
Obama took over this country when it was in the worse shape in history. The fact that he got the financial wheels turning again is proof of his competency but most of you are rednecks and would just as soon be negative because that is what the Republican Party is, a negative, spiteful, mean spirited group of people who have no business running this country. Obama is not perfect and he has made some rooky mistakes but compared to what the Republicans accomplished during their rein he is doing great!
IM4US| 10.12.10 @ 9:31AM
He took over this country when it was in the worst shape ever and added more than a TRILLION dollars to it! Thats what he did! GET OFF the "Bush" and stop playing the blame game. Bush has been gone for 2 years! Obiewankanobie signs these things now. Obiewan is the one who wants to be the DICTATOR, Obie wants this country to fall into the arms of Islam and if you think thats a better way, then move to the middle east! "Doing great" at ruining an entire country! MINE! "rookie mistakes". Get at least a HALF of a brain! Do you believe EVERYTHING everyone tells you???? Time to start thinking for yourself, educating yourself and unless YOU are a socialist, your comment shows your ignorance! He will get a break from me when he PROVES he LOVES THIS COUNTRY and wants the best for the USA, and PROVES HE IS ELIGIBLE TO RUN IT!
Dave Barnes| 6.6.10 @ 3:36PM
Could you have meant ..."CONSTRUCTIVE solution" ? Hummmmmm.
John MANN| 6.8.10 @ 1:13AM
MAM, sounds like you just broke your own restrictions: "I don't offer my comments unless I have a construction solution..." . I note your comments but no solutions? What's up with that?
Mary Ann Miller| 6.8.10 @ 2:41PM
Sorry - that should have been constructive(mmm) solution. I don't have a constructive solution but I do have an opinion. I believe that Republican and Democrats have to swallow their pride and listen with an open mind to the issues at hand and come to decisions that will best serve the nation as a whole. That may not be the ideal solution for either side but we can never meet in the middle as long as they, and we, are so caught up in accusing and mud slinging. Mistakes have been made on both sides. Our country needs strong leadership now - one of the most critical times in our history. Finger pointing and negative comments serve no purpose but to incite anger in people and undermine the spirit of this country. Don't we have better things to do with our time?
Bob Uda| 6.9.10 @ 1:56AM
So where is your "construction solution" in your above post? Sounds like "political propaganda" to me.
Hoppy| 6.16.10 @ 5:45PM
Exactly right, Mary Ann. Who the hell do these people think they are, exercising their right to speak freely in a democratic republic. They ought to be locked up, or at least required to submit their comments to you for approval.

Mike| 6.3.10 @ 9:05PM
How do you contribute a companies oil spill to being Replublicans fault? It's neither parties fault per say. The government did fail, miserably I might add, at inspecting the oil rig correctly but then again the government fails at everything it does except for militarily. Furthermore, this did happen under Obama's watch so how is it Republicans fault? Last I checked Obama is Democrat. But then again just like every problem Obama has had "it's Bush's fault". I say he'll be impeached before he gets to resign.

In 2004 during the Bush administration the MMS was caught with their hands in the cookie jar. They went on expensive vacations, parties, and used crystal meth. They kept their jobs. That was when they should have been fired, not after the fox was escorted into the hen house. When the admin of George Bush found out about the gifts and partying he should have had all the documens and actions of the MMS checked! He did nothing! Just like all the Republican Presidents since IKE! All of the Republican Predients are the yes men of corporate America. Don't talk about the Republicans following the law! They do not, and never have!
Ryan| 6.8.10 @ 2:40AM
The democrats have egg on their face as well. Do some research on Obama and Gore's ties to the Chicago Climate Exchange Corp. and Big Banking Businesses. They stand to gain more personal money than republicans ever did. Lets face it... Democrats are the Party of Segregation, Slavery, Secessation, and Socialism. Not one of those above would I prescribe for America.
murielschnierow | 7.1.10 @ 1:40PM
The foundation of addiction to oil and its profits goes back to middle east politics after WW 2. The last 8 years under a president (Bush) appointed not elected followed a pattern of incompetence and lies. we were lied into the wars, There was no supervision of oildrillers, ie MMS restaffed and partying, and 5 days before the Obama inauguration addendas were added to oil leases.
VP Biden has an excellent record in the Senate and all this wild eyed blaming and name calling is why we are in this fix. As for Blagojevich, talking too much is not a crime and "Intangible right to honest services " and "Mail fraud" have been disallowed by the Supreme Court. No proof whatsoever except that dick Mell doesnt like him and the trial will cost us money. As for most comments no answer.
Windel| 6.10.10 @ 1:12PM
It is the governments fault-the government blocked drilling on the East and West coast and in Alaska. The oil companies only choice was drilling deeper and deeper in the gulf. The deeper they drill, the more danger, exponentially. If the well had been only a quarter mile deep, the accident would never have happened.
char| 6.3.10 @ 9:53PM
"The spill happened on Obama's watch"...period. Pointing fingers is not getting this oil spill cleaned up. If Obama was a decent person and even an adequate president he would step up, stand up and pull out all stops to get this spill under control. Just because "it happened on his watch" does not mean he can be blaise about it, ignore it or point fingers. Obama is a despicable person, president and American. This oil spill is happening to THIS COUNTRY...OUR COUNTRY...and YOUR COUNTRY. If he would do something about it then his dismal approval rating just might go up a notch. The time wasted on blaming could well be used to help clean up this dubious in occurance disaster.
But, then, this is just another fine offering from Obama and Co.

Will you losers ever grow up and grow a pair?
Spill baby spill!
Obama lied and the Gulf Coast died!
Corrupt & Incompetent Obama| 6.4.10 @ 5:00AM
Grow up and grow a pair liberals. You dumbasses own this eco-disaster.
Get used to it.
kim| 6.7.10 @ 11:25PM
Well, then why did Obama give that particular site the safety award last year? He was president last year and why did BP get the safety award for overall safety presented by Obama last year? It was an accident period....What happens after the accident is the issue!
Jackie| 6.5.10 @ 5:03PM
Sure! It's all Bush's fault!!! That's O's answer to everything!
joymc | 6.5.10 @ 8:35AM
If not for the uber left environmentalist enfluence on govornment we could drill in places where its easy to fix leaks, such as on land and near land in shallow water. As usual those who try to perfect the environment end up destroying it.
Nobammy Bin Lyin| 6.4.10 @ 11:16PM
NoBam blew the damn thing up to create an 'emergency' that did not go unwasted (A la rahmbo deadfish). Did you see how quickly he got as much milage for his anti-everything sensible energy approach out of it? Talk about tilting at windmills! Well, that and because he hates white people.
larryc| 6.4.10 @ 3:52PM
How in the World do you get that? Like Obama, everything is the Republicans, and Bush's fault?
Bob| 6.4.10 @ 11:31AM
David, Wake up! Granted the MMS and the Dept. Of Interior have been problematic for quite awhile, Obama appointed the new Sec of interior and MMS when he took over. Obama renewed the Waivers given to BP, and Trans atlantic drilling in March of '09. The accident causing the spill is not the issue, it's the response (or lack thereof) allowing the oil to reach shore that is the issue. Get your head out of the sand.
Tired of Corrupt Dems| 6.2.10 @ 7:22PM
I agree - there is no way Obama will resign, even if the democrats have finally summoned up the courage to actively try to dump him - he likes the perks of the office too much.
Air Force 1, endless budget and servants for him and the wife, the big free mansion and holiday spots and golf, etc etc, ad nauseum. Plus he really thinks he is the best thing ever to happen to the USA. Talk about delusional.
Nope, its up to the public to turf his sorry A$$ in 2012.
The upside from all this, and it pales in comparison to the harm he, Reid & Pelosi have done, is that the dems were so dishonest in the last campaign, and so incompetent in office, that it really looks like they will be out in the political wilderness for a long time. And that's great, because it will take a long time to undo the damage from these rigid ideologues, both domestically and abroad.
Elaine in Pa| 6.2.10 @ 9:25PM
Hopefully people will see the light in 2012 & not re-elect him. And yes,he surely does enjoy the perks of office...flying all over the country but not usually for the important things
Silver Streak| 6.3.10 @ 8:38AM
I have to agree with all your points. Resignation, while I can fantasize about it, isn't going to happen.
Better O be defeated at the polls in 2012, carrying not one state. It would be a complete repudiation of him, progressives and the Dumbocrats. That would keep them out of the loop for years.
Joy| 6.3.10 @ 8:32PM
I agree totally with you on this about obama, he loves to strut and give out orders demanding to be obeyed by everyone and everything he does and wants to do and to hell with every body except what he wants. I detest everything about him and his bunch of crooks in DC all of them should be put in a slow boat to China or to Iran or Iraq!!!!!!!!!!!
Tic| 6.3.10 @ 1:20AM
He's too smart, too intellegent, too..., too..., Proud.
Brutus2 - you give this man child far too much credit
Bruce Majors | 6.3.10 @ 8:53AM
Maybe he will leave for the loving arms of Vera Baker? I think the job they sent her away to is on the other side of the oil slick.
stormyweather| 6.3.10 @ 4:34PM
Maybe he'll run back to the gay bath house in Chicago "Man's Country".

Oh and don't forget. Congress knows he is illegal and they could threaten him with that! If they are smart they will do it.
Gisela| 6.3.10 @ 11:29PM
You bet congress knows he is illegal.why do you think nancy has hidden the original vettin certificate that has her signature on it and send one to each states election board that has omitted the part that said "we certify that we checked his eligebillity and he is legal" She is just as crooked as he.
aproudpatriot| 6.8.10 @ 5:38PM
Yes Nancy is just as crooked but she is dumb, he is manipulative, like a sociopath; and just as sneaky, self-centered, lethal and dangerous. Joe and Harry and Nancy and Obama. What a group to lead us......right down this wrong wrong road to ruin.
gabber| 6.3.10 @ 3:09PM
President can't be charged criminally, it has to be impeachment. Even if the repubs regain both houses, not enough would have the stomach to withstand the racism charges that would no doubt ensue. We can't make Obama a martyr.
Wally| 6.3.10 @ 3:53PM
Don't you get it by now that it doesn't matter what we do--they will make Obama a martyr regardless.
I'm tired of predicating our actions on their reactions. Do what's right and the rest will take care of itself. Stop being so damned afraid of the losers on the Left.
Nobammy Bin Lyin| 6.4.10 @ 11:32PM
Well stated Wally! I agree totally. We are all racist haters anyway (even us Hispanic ones) so we might as well do what's right. Besides, I think we have a lot more support than we realize. I mean look at the Az. Immigration law and how popular that's turning out. The lamestream media is once again trying to do our thinking for us so we shouldn't be scared off from holding to our values.
Hoppy| 6.16.10 @ 5:54PM
Can we just impeach the white half?
Seeinthelight| 6.3.10 @ 4:36PM
I agree with one small difference; he will not resign due to the fact he thinks he is king on his throne; "I am the president and the buck stops here". Look at his background. He was raised to take this position and take the direction he is taking for one reason only; to make-over America as we know it. Look at how he has been apologetic to foreign powers. He is laying the groundwork to advance his agenda. A man doesn't have 30-something (more?) ssn's for nothing. He's hiding a very insidious force (Czars?) that are behind him just waiting to come aboard and destroy us. Just wait and see if he stays long enough to accomplish his goals.
DebO| 6.3.10 @ 6:05PM
I agree w/Seeinthelight... I believe he was groomed for many yrs to be president for this time - specifically to bring down our nation. He has been SO bold about who he has aligned himself with - not even flinching when something comes out about their pasts' in connection to Socialism! Nothing good & wholesome is believable about him. He is supposed to serve "We the People", yet he has an attitude of accountability to NO ONE.
I love what Apostle Claver of RagingElephants.org said - something like: If Barrack Hussain Obama thinks he's the Messiah, let's take him in a bass boat, out in the middle of Lake Conroe - AND let him walk home!!!
Clued In Nevada| 6.3.10 @ 11:28AM
The only way Pelosi would become president is if both the president and vice-president were both incapacitated at the same time. If the president resigns, the VP is president automatically. Then the new president appoints a new VP (with the advice and consent of the Senate). It's happened before...Nixon.
BettyBoop| 6.12.10 @ 7:38AM
I don't know. I think a criminal conviction might send this megalomaniac off the deep end. He'd likely call in the Nation of Islam for his own security, and invoke martial law to punish Conservative Tea Party types and Conservative critics. Don't underestimate the arrogance and evil at work in our current government. See ya in the slammer, baby.
Llmc| 6.8.10 @ 2:52AM
What would be the ideal scenario is this: obama, biden, pelosi, et al are flying on Air Force One to some concert or vacation destination and it either crashes or some mysterious missile cancels their trip for good!
Ole Sarge| 6.3.10 @ 1:22PM
Not only biden, but pelosi as the vp if she is still in power. Frightening.
Bruce | 6.2.10 @ 11:46AM
Sure - Biden is a lightweight moron - but he's not dangerous in the way Zero is. We could handle him for 2 years. The other thing is that Pelosi would then be elevated to VP - which would wrest control of the House from that pig.
It's a win-win in my opinion. Anything that gets Zero the hell out of the WH is a plus for the USA.
Forever Marine| 6.2.10 @ 12:15PM
Pelosi no, see above. But we still have to be concerned with who Biden would appoint. Maybe even Jesse or Al.
scotchieguy| 6.2.10 @ 12:51PM
I am just giddy after reading this...I have been predicting this all along. Biden is a fool, but not dangerous like Obama...plus, think how much fun it will be watching him trip all over himself during pressers!!! ha ha ha! I can't wait...
monzoid| 6.2.10 @ 5:54PM
Look for Biden to appoint Hilary as VP
Jan| 6.2.10 @ 9:08PM
He'd better watch his back if he does that!
GregMan| 6.3.10 @ 10:43AM
He'd better get a real good food taster as well!
Bruce Majors | 6.3.10 @ 8:55AM
Biden would be entertainment for 2 years. If he picked Hillary would she run with him as his VP in 2012 or run against him in the primaries?
Clinton nee Publius| 6.2.10 @ 7:28PM
The succession would include John Kerry. Obama resigns, Joe Plugs picks Kerry.
Chance| 6.3.10 @ 10:10AM
Kerry would be a disaster. He is as bad as Obama!
prattle | 6.3.10 @ 2:32PM
Just get ready for WW3, because that is about all Obama will acheive, more death and distruction. If the agenda is already drawn up, what is the point of a President. Obama could have raken the initative, and called on the world top scientist and engineers, and call on the worlds best designers, and work flat out to stop this leak, and pass the cost to BP. If BP claims they are dealing with it you be best to be dealing with in the terms I just stressed, one of them would have come up with a solution by NOW.
gisela| 6.3.10 @ 11:36PM
He knows that he will not be re elected again so he will do anything he can to destroy this country because to the muslims we are invadells who have to be destroyed and he is doing a good job disroying us.
marilyn| 6.4.10 @ 10:55AM
Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling the infidel population conquered thru Jihad-taxing non-Muslims for tolerating their presence and a means of converting them. The Obamacare bill is the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia Diktat in the U.S. Muslims are exempted from gov. mandate to purchase Ins. and also from penalty tax for being uninsured-Islam considers Ins. to be gambling- Now isn't that convienient?
montanalady| 6.4.10 @ 12:22AM
I believe he has achieved almost everything he set out to do. He has almost ruined the country and is having enough shows in the WH with the musicans paying homage to him to keep his ego alive for years. Just think he can visit them when he no longer lives in the WH. That should keep him busy for decades and no one will ask him to make a decision, we know how he hates that. Carrieng around all those teleprompters are tedious, don'tch know.
noooobama| 5.7.12 @ 6:25PM

As for appointing an AG who refused to protect whites discriminated against (or beaten up)...
Spartan79| 6.2.10 @ 10:49PM
Not Jesse or Al, or Nancy. Biden would almost certainly appoint the Hildabeast as VP.
Forever Navy| 6.3.10 @ 11:58PM
Or maybe REV. WRIGHT! Be afraid, be very afraid.
BettyBoop| 6.12.10 @ 7:41AM
Biden's such a Bozo. He'd probably appoint his son, just to show what a great guy he is. He's such an inane bonehead!
Chris100| 6.2.10 @ 6:19PM
No, Piglosi would not become VP. Biden would appoint someone. She would only become President if something HAPPENS to the President AND the VP.........plane crash, illness, thrown out.......Biden would be able to name a new VP to serve with him......It would be humorous with Biden.........as long as we don't let him pass or sign anything!!!
Clued In Nevada| 6.3.10 @ 11:32AM

Our only hope , is to prove that he is not legally qualified to be president. THEN everything he has done is illegal and his staff is too.
Palin fan| 6.6.10 @ 7:13AM
Obama, who is not even an American citizen or Christian, should be ousted in a military coup, tried as a usurper, impostor, and Islamic terrorist, serve time, and then, if he survives prison, deported back to his Kenyan homeland as an illegal and undesirable alien. Sarah Palin should be appointed acting president until she is properly elected in 2012. Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Ron Paul should be appointed to high posts in this administration of national salvation. That would save the country from third world socialism and get it back on track.
Kelly| 6.7.10 @ 1:17PM
Palin and Joe the plumber in2012.
RDN in Houston| 6.2.10 @ 11:57AM
I have heard that Biden would be worse than Obama before but I don't believe it for a minute. Zero is like the 16 year old self absorbed, adolescent son who doesn't know or care how the economy or the world works and could care less. He cares only about himself. Biden has lucid moments and he understands crooked politics. Either way this is a lose, lose for Americans.
Rick Caird| 6.2.10 @ 4:53PM
I suppose it would be a valid argument to claim Biden would not stop talking long enough to actually do anything.

scythe| 6.2.10 @ 1:19PM
I have heard similar comments from people I know who rethink their horror at this prospect. Why? Think about it. Biden maybe a fool and a source of great hilarity BUT... HE LOVES THIS COUNTRY AND THERE WAS NEVER A DOUBT THAT HE IS AN AMERICAN. He grew up here, his sensibilities and spirit, his cultural references are American. For that reason alone we can count on his LOVE OF OUR COUNTRY surely more than what presently crouches in the Oval Office. He is not as arrogant and not so fascist as Obama and can be persuaded not to destroy America. He may be a blunderer but he is not a MALICIOUS presence wreaking vengeance on a civilization he hates. Obama should never been elected as we know. But the depth of his pathology, mental instability, and incompetence is staggering and his personality will become more precarious in the coming months. Joe is an American. B. HUSSEIN never was.
proreason| 6.2.10 @ 8:40PM

Biden is a gadfly and an opportunist but his goal will not be to destroy a civilization.

bmw ops | 6.3.10 @ 4:09AM
After watching CSAN and seeing the plan to have a national infrastructure bank, I suspect that Fannie and Freddie are going to have another sibling. I think the plan is to convert the Highway Trust Fund into cash that will be sent to the Federal Reserve and end up as money that is used to build transportation infrastructure. Europe does this so it is not going to get critical scrutiny. The bank can multiply the money by taking in the federal tax funds and issuing credits for the amount sent to the Federal reserve divided by the fractional reserve requirement. The transportation money supply could be increased maybe by a factor of 8 or so. Instead of pay as you go, the bank will issue bonds or debt to the states.
The Highway Trust Fund is chronically broke because it is not indexed to inflation and CAFE standards plus the bad economy is dropping income. Promises to end the donor state situation is also damaging the fund. General funds are required to prop up the Highway trust fund so this plan takes transportation out of the targets of those want to go after discretionary spending in a magical thinking sort of way.
shuey1| 6.2.10 @ 5:59PM
Actually if Obama resigns he shall do so to avoid impeachment proceedings, just like Nixon. If you read the Articles of Impeachment in the Constitution it states that all executive officers of government may be impeached as well as the Chief Executive officer, the Office of the President. In short, Obama and his entire administration, as well as members of Congress, et al can be removed and replaced by anyone elected to the now vacant position! Obama should have been impeached for lying, and for accepting awards that he was not entitled to hold. The Nobel Peace Prize. Really? Impeach them and be done with this garbage! Restore order and the Constitutional rule of law!
kathy | 8.9.10 @ 1:43AM
He should be impeached for treason. He refuses to protect our country and has gone against Arizona in favor of illegal aliens. EVERY single thing he has pushed for , is aimed at destroying this country . He knows exactly what he is doing. It is what he came here to do.
Support The Constitution| 6.2.10 @ 9:18PM
Actually this would be a plus The clueless can be lead by Congress, which will be all new players... The Narcissist does only what he wants to do. Which is why I am sceptical that he will resign, and as such, will have to be removed by impeachment and conviction.

He won't resign. Never happen. It's all about him, remember? Nothing is ever his fault, so why should he take the hit for it?
True, the media will finally turn on him, but it will not be because of his incompetence. They can handle that. Their wake-up call will be more along the lines of the Clinton Epiphany: assuming the press will ignore EVERY act of malfeasance, no matter how personal. The issue will come - sooner that later - in which the press will have to distance themselves from O, or ruin their credibility beyond repair. For Clinton it was Monica. For O, ?
O is very vulnerable over the Sestak affair, but not because of the laws that were broken. He sees it as a harbinger of things to come: of a savvy Democrat whipping his butt in a Primary leading up to the 2012 election. What greater disgrace for a sitting president?

I agree. Look at what is going on. He has UN troops already in the US, and on our military bases. I think he will declare martial law before the november elections. The meeting on 8/28/10 at the lincoln memorial will give him the prime opportunity to do this. His new supreme court appointee is very GUN control. Look what happened to the people of Iran. They didnt even have a gun. They tried to resist the illegal election and were slaughtered in the street. The media was also shut out. ARE WE CONTROLLING THE MEDIA YET? He is following the playbook perfectly.

The dithering, fossil Biden would be a balm, a cool drink of water, a saving breeze after this volcanic blast of socialism and Marxism from hell. This nation is weary and reviled by Obamanism. If Biden falls over, Pelosi could easily be passed over based on either her dementia, her 'fishy' dealings in the House or her new found vocation, that of assuming the role of North America's first female Pope. This awful woman seems to now be obsessed with the scriptures...or the 'word', as she recently blathered in a press conference, eye's rolled back in ecstasy looking heavenward and assuming the Evita stance. WTF was she talking about? THESE ARE THE PEOPLE SETTING POLICY!!!???? The Washington progression down from the Presidential spot is in fact so awful, you can back up almost to the moron who stuffed his freezer with bundles of 100 dollar bills and there is still no worthy person. DRAIN THE SWAMP! Borrow equipment from BP to do so...this would give true meaning to 'not letting a good crisis go to waste'.

Didn't Bill Clinton show that the Democrats do believe that their presidents are indeed above the law?

Shamus| 6.2.10 @ 6:52AM
It's certainly true that Obama's lack of leadership and poor policy choices are causing great harm, but I don't see this motivating him to leave office early. Obama doesn't seem to care about anyone other than himself, so I doubt that he would make a decision to leave office for the greater good of the country. His party seems to lack any moral compass, so it would be a surprise if they pushed him from office. It could be that Obama decides not to run in 2012 should his popularity continue to slide, but resigning in disgrace would require a capacity for shame that today's liberals eschew.

I think Biden is just playing the dummy. His "gaffes" always seem to come at the right time to divert our attention away from the real issues or as a way to "explain" things in a different light. Of course if both are impeached after a conservative speaker is elected next year that would be the best case scenario
Linda| 6.3.10 @ 10:00PM
Never happen. This pathelogical narcissist in the oval office isn't going anywhere until January 2013, or he is escorted out of the White House.

RON HERT| 6.3.10 @ 6:19PM
I wouldn't count on the Democrats leaving the Obama camp. They realize that not only is Obama slated for Impeachment, but many of them will go to jail. These Facists are no different of the Communists and Nazis, as far as, power and their survival in the political world. Unless the Election
can be stolen, there is no hope for the Democratic
party because they have become apart of Facism
and the strangle on the freedoms of the people of this nation-not just economics any more-its about our freedoms and their power over our freedoms.
I only hope that not too many people have to die
for our freedoms to remain dominate in this USA
culture. I hope that this issue of freedom can be resolved as peacful as the Berlin Wall fell and the
USSR's change.

Now THERE's an idea! Then the Democrats could ram all of his agenda through Congress against only token GOP resistance, August 4 would become a national holiday, and our enslaved descendants would be forced to worship at shrines dedicated to his memory forever and ever.
Whoever shoots Obama will be lynched... by Republicans.

steve| 6.3.10 @ 3:50PM
This article is all garbage. When all the real facts are shown there is no crime. And for the handling of the gulf oil spill, it is true no one was prepared for such an accident. We will learn from this and put in place all safe guards so it will never happen again. The
Americans love driving their big cars all over driving up the demand for more and more oil. So if you want to lay blame on someone, look in your mirror and stop trying to lay it on any one else.
Wally| 6.3.10 @ 4:10PM
Nice try, Steve, but you and I both know that corruptocrat Oilbama lied and the Gulf died.
I blame losers like YOU who voted for this incompetent POS.
MLH| 6.4.10 @ 2:45AM
From day one the federal government should of been in the gulf trying to contain and pick up as much oil as possible. They are responsible for the clean water act. Should of had skimmers 20 or 30 miles off shore picking up the oil before it came ashore. They could of gotten 80% to 90% of the oil before it came to the beaches
Jeremiah| 6.4.10 @ 5:12AM
You're right. They were supposed to use fire booms immediately, too. That would have burned off about 90% of the oil right then.
Obama's an incompetent and corrupt loser.
Kenny| 5.18.12 @ 5:53PM
Lied about what?
RON HERT| 6.3.10 @ 6:35PM
I guess it is convient for the Liberals to agree with Woddy Allen and Chris Matthews, that it is ok for Obama to become the first US dictator. How convient for Steve to ignore the grab for power that Obama and his staff
of Communist-Muslim-Terrorist sympatizers, have proven by their own words and actions. When will the anti-USA people wake up, when shots are fired-I guess Steve will be happy when the USA falls and we lose our freedoms, whether we want to drive a big car or not-it is a matter of freedom. Also, it is a matter of freedom as to the amount of salt I use on my food, and whom I listen
to on the radio. I could go on and on, but, Steve is the kind of person who doesn't care what happens to our flag. Hey Steve, take a picture of your beloved MOM out and burn it-then you'll begin to understand how we, Veterans, feel about the flag.
So go ahead and hide you head in the sand, but we may not be around to help you take it out.
gaetano| 2.21.11 @ 10:58AM
Steve, Maybe you should remember when Obama tried to push law and said that drilling in open waters can be very dangerous, and that he wants it stopped, then all of a sudden, BAM, the big explosion. He caused this BS. No doubt in any ones mind. He will go to any extremes to rule his new and Islam Country of America. All he has to do now is change the name of this once great country. NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. As for the people who think that the military will follow Obama,that is a joke. The military is made up of American women and men and they will fight for their families and children and COUNTRY. All it takes is 4 heads of the military to give an order and the white house is history,including your fraudulent friend Obama.
Nelson H.| 6.3.10 @ 8:22AM
A resignation is unthinkable. He will not resign short of getting slapped with a criminal indictment which he knows he cannot beat. Leftists do not willingly surrender power.
On the other hand it is very thinkable and I think probable that he will not run for re-election. There is no precedent in history for an incumbent Democratic president running for re-election in the face of overwhelming certainty of defeat. The last time this happened was 1932 and the GOP was willing to let Hoover run again, as nobody else could have done better. Democrats don't operate on those principles.
What I see as the most likely outcome is an announcement in 2011 that Obama will not run for re-election, and around the same time HRC stepping down from State so she can run again in 2012. From a Democratic perspective she's the only candidate ruthless, mendacious and vicious enough to win in the face of terrible odds.
Bruce Majors | 6.3.10 @ 8:59AM

I agree with your analysis. Myself I would enjoy watching the Clinton-Palin show, but I would be surprised if that is who the R's nominated against HRC.

Please don't anyone forget HRC admitting she was not a liberal but a "progressive". The progressives hiding as Dems cannot be allowed to continue. They are ruining the democratis party.

jrob| 6.2.10 @ 8:34PM
No chance for a resignation. Regardless of what happens. If impeachment proceedings were started the investigation, hearings etc. would be extended long enough to keep 0 in office till the end of his term. Toss in a filibuster or two and he makes it easily. These folks have nothing to loose, no credibility to begin with no chance or need for employment after the white house gig is up, he's going to ride that horse till it dies and we will have to pay for the hay. This mess is going to be much worse than the pile of steaming dung that Carter left when he ran away from the white house on inauguration day.
JanevonMises| 6.2.10 @ 5:27PM
Here's why I think Clinton took the fall for the Sestak job: He takes the fall, Joe Biden resigns for "health reasons", Hillary becomes VP. Then Obama abdicates, and we are left with the Manchurian Candidate's Mother. She's as progressive as he is.
No, we want to preserve, but box in, this president until 2012, then send him packing.
Clinton nee Publius| 6.2.10 @ 7:31PM
Interesting narrative. I don't see Joe Plugs walking away. Maybe some of the dirt that he drags around could be aired out and force him to walk, but I don't see Joe Plugs walking away from power and privilege.
KJW| 6.2.10 @ 4:47PM
I've said this before but...I don't expect Obama to ever resign the presidency. That being said, Rush Limbaugh has said of his administration (and liberals in general) that it reminds him of being in the "Twilight Zone".
I'll go one better - I believe that the Obama administration will be a parallel to a very specific original Twilight Zone episode called "The Rip Van Winkle caper". In that show a physics professor with a foreign accent, a mechanical engineer and two thugs came up with a plan to make a heist of a huge Fort Knox-style gold shipment, then steal away to a Death Valley Mountain hideout where the professor would put them to sleep for 100 years with a gas he'd developed. At the end of their sleepy century they'd awake, free men with their pursuers all dead, and rich with gold, so they thought. And indeed, they slept for 100 years and awoke in an era when everyone forgot their crimes. All they had to do was take their loot, go out in the world and spend it.
That's where Divine Justice began to be administered. And at the end every man regretted that he'd ever been a part of that scheme. (HINT: All the men had taken a chance that gold would actually be WORTH something in the next century.)
Regrettably, we won't be able to sleep through the Obama administration. But, I'm afraid there's no doubt in my mind that, like the criminals in that TWZ episode, every person in the Obama administration, including the chief himself, will someday rue the day they ever were part of his schemes. How, I don't know, but I fully expect it to happen.
Hoppy| 6.16.10 @ 6:12PM
Yep, I've often wondered what gold will be worth when there is no food left to buy with it.
Peter Werner| 6.2.10 @ 4:36PM
Read the recent opinion piece by Maureen Dowd. It is obvious, she writes, that it is complete incompetence by the administration that is the problem - and a very big problem at that. When Obama loses the NYT's Dowd he is in very big trouble.
Harry| 6.3.10 @ 1:49AM
I read that piece and just loved it!
Bruce Majors | 6.3.10 @ 9:08AM

I am curious -- of all the editors she is said to have befriended, were there any journalists of color?
david tretter| 6.2.10 @ 2:19PM
First: Obama has to resign or get impeached. Second: Biden will probably same something stupid enough to get him self in the same situation. Third: Pelosi is an idiot. Possibly the stupidest person in the world. If she became President she would be so excited that she would smile and her botox face would tear apart causing her to have scares all over face that would not let her be in the public eye.
Forever Marine| 6.2.10 @ 12:18PM

RAMIII| 6.2.10 @ 2:23PM
You are correct -- they have no shame. But it is worse than that! THEY are the arbitors of shame. THEY decide who should feel ashamed. THEY ARE above the law, since they make it so by the laws they pass. THEY are the RULE makers. The evidence I see is that President Obama still shows his face in public -- and blames others for the problems. The Health Care shinanigans should have warned us that the current residents of this administration will stop at NOTHING to achieve their outcomes -- what possible influence could the public have? Sometimes I wonder what kind of threats have been leveled against the people who have been daring enough to oppose this juggernaut of an administration.
Having said all that, KUDOS to the Governors of AZ, NJ, & LA for standing up to/against this administration and its policies.
Margie| 6.2.10 @ 5:20PM
Yup. Chris Christie's knockin' those onionized workers dead. Well, not so much the workers, but the Onions themselves. The onionized workers just have to forgo their would be raises for awhile, if I am correct. Oh What suffering!

I doubt Palin will agree to play 2nd fiddle again.
Margie| 6.2.10 @ 7:51PM
Way to put a damper there, Jeremiah! Say, did you know Christie was a tough on crime U.S. attorney who prosecuted 130 public officials from top to bottom, without losing a single case? He got convictions based on bribery, corruption, mail fraud, tax evasion and wire fraud. Both Dems & Reps. And now he's taking on the corrupt Onions (Unions) in NJ, and cutting gov. spending and basically trying to save NJ. He's also doing something about property taxes. So far so good. I do wish him well in his quest to lose weight! We New Jerseyians don't want to lose our first Republican gov. since 2001!
But as for Sarah, I don't think she looks at it as being 2nd fiddle.. but maybe you're right.!
Jeremiah| 6.2.10 @ 9:15PM
Sometimes the truth hurts, but it still should be said.
The Governor is awesome, but he's got to take off at least 100 lbs. before he should be considered a serious contender for POTUS. Good health is a must.
SC| 6.3.10 @ 1:24AM
Christie hasn't paid his dues? What dues did the jacka** in office pay? As for Palin, no chance, she's an extremely smart opportunist and I give her immense credit for that and being a governor but at this point in time she should stick to being a cheerleader.
Jeremiah| 6.3.10 @ 4:19PM
Christie's been Governor for about 5 MINUTES, moron. He's doing a great job, but he's not the one who's kept Obama on his heels for the last year. Great argument comparing Christie's lack of experience to Obama's. No thanks, we can do better than that.
Christie hasn't been working his tail off for the last year criss-crossing the country endorsing republican candidates and raising tons of money for our side, either.
Christie's too fat! I don't want a candidate who could keel over from a heart attack any minute. Tell him to lay off the cheese steak sandwiches for a while and I'll consider him.
pjmccauley| 6.2.10 @ 8:11PM
I feel Gov.Chris Christie is going to be drafted as our next president.This will happen after November debacle ,when the the Dems and Pelosi are out.Obama will stonewall any investigation and drag our country down.But in the end the Dems will be out for a generation and our great country will be restored.

Linda| 6.3.10 @ 10:18PM
I beg to differ on the Christie/Palin ticket in 2012, Margie. Not that I don't think Palin would make a great VP, or even President. But just getting rid of Obama and the Dems for one election isn't going to cut it. We have to make sure they stay gone long enough to let us get this country back on its feet and strong enough that they can't wreak it again so quickly. For that, we need good people down here in the "trenches", and Palin to my mind is the best around. As a "freedom fighter", she is awesome and has complete freedom to keep biting at the heels of the Left. As President, she'd lose some of that freedom. I'd love to see her in the House or Senate soon, and then VP and THEN President perhaps.
PALIN 2012!| 6.4.10 @ 5:18AM

cubiclecommando| 6.2.10 @ 10:08AM
You are so correct on that, but I'd like to add a couple more reasons why.
1. Perks. He and MO can roll through town in a pimped-out limo with their heavily armed posse all around. They've got a house with servants and a plane at their beck and call.
2. Biden. I can't think of any better insurance policy anyone can have in that position.
loulou| 6.2.10 @ 10:11AM

Lefties have no concept of honor or shame. The Japanese PM (?) just resigned because he broke a promise. Lefties have no such character. They are shameless and lawless.
Cicada| 6.2.10 @ 10:43AM
" resigning in disgrace would require a capacity for shame that today's liberals eschew." AMEN!!
Grzmlyk| 6.2.10 @ 10:51AM
But don't forget, the dems eat their own; if he's hurting the party, they'll throw him overboard in a nano-second.
On the other hand, the way Obama has survived in this life - aside from being promoted and advanced every step of the way with a wink and a nod by self-interested handlers - is his utter and complete delusional nature. I believe it is at the level of clinical pathology. He is truly not remotely acquainted with the real world. Even more so than your average academic (and he's not even that, though he was promoted as such).
I believe Obama's major problem is he's never exited adolescence. Aside from being a narcissist and a sociopath, he suffers from a kind of Peter Pan syndrome; he simply refuses to grow up.
So I don't think he'll resign - and pundits predict political futures at their peril - but I do think he'll be pushed out to make way for Hillary in 2012.
Then again, maybe it won't be Hillary; I understand Bill Maher may be tapped. Hey, he's every bit as qualified to be president as Obama.
Margie| 6.2.10 @ 11:56AM
Grz! Hiya.
Well, Bill Maher, huh? I don't have t.v. so I miss out on hearing some of these precious news flashes, LOL. But it certainly wouldn't surprise me. After all, any degenerate actor/comedian can become the Democrat nominee. I wonder why Rosie O'Donnell never ran? Or maybe I just missed it.
Yeah, Obama will never resign. At least not of his own accord, he'd have to be hypnotized or something, or have a true conversion, which I for one will never say never on the possibility because all things ARE possible with God and it would be His doing, anyway.
But aside from that and for all the reasons you stated, he won't resign. You've got him pegged pretty perfectly. Sometimes I wonder if you took up psychology because you see Human nature so well.. or is it a gift from above? Seriously.
Great to see you again!
Grzmlyk| 6.2.10 @ 12:34PM
Hi Margie!
Great to see your name here! Yes, I've been busy with my real job and no longer have much opportunity to read/post here, which makes me sad. I'm lucky if I can scan the list of articles.
But when I saw the headline for this one, my heart grew light. Just to see that in print made me want to do a one-person "wave" here in my nest of liberalism.
I have never studied psychology formally. I picked up a bit here and there, but, like most conservatives, I think my curse is just that, in many ways, I simply see the world as it is, and I tend to recognize people for what they are (I'm certainly not always right, but in politics, my track record is pretty good).
Which is why I think Bill Maher would be a perfect Obama substitute; he's even more full of himself than our brat in chief - but unlike Obama, I think deep down he's in touch with his insecurity; that's why he tries so hard to be SMART (whereas Obama simply assumes he's a messiah).
I'd love to pull at one of the threads that clothe Maher in pseudo-intellectual pretentiousness. It would take about 1 second to reveal a misshapen, aging, not-so-funny, serial woman-abusing, not-so-insightful LOSER trying desperately to fill his empty life with meaning.
On the other hand, if Obama EVER realizes how little he actually knows - how his entire life is a house of cards and that he's a non-entity with no actual ability or accomplishment - I think he'd simply disappear in an existential little bang.
Margie| 6.2.10 @ 1:25PM
Well Grz, I'm so glad you came by!
Your "analysis" of Maher is also spot on.
I just pictured you up on the "stage" of that show, Politically Incorrect, taking on the insufferable bore. Now THAT would make t.v. worth watching again!
Yes, conservatives tend to see people and things for who and what they really are. That's the big dif. between us & Libs. Libs want to live in fantasy, always hoping for that Utopia that'll never arrive. We just want to live in reality and in the true belief that we can govern ourselves and that government isn't our god. Thank the real God that there seems to be more of us than them and that the whole nation seems to be waking up!
Aut what all of this tells me is that We the People had better get out in droves this November and vote "R". It all really comes down to that. I mean, do we really want another Obummer admin. or a Bill Maher admin?!
God bless you, Grz. And may your memory be reminded when those little spare moments arrive, to remember us here because we always look forward to your posts!
Grzmlyk| 6.2.10 @ 2:28PM
You are very kind, Margie. And so right about the diff between libs and us. I DO hope people are waking up, but I thought we'd have awakened after LBJ. . . then after Carter.. . . then after Clinton. . . it seems liberalism is a multi-headed hydra that we must continue to slash away at.
Yeah, Maher honestly makes me sick to my stomach. He's so self satisfied, yet, like Obama, he's so proud of the crap that comes out of his mouth and never seems to realize it's been said over and over for at least a hundred years.
BTW, another reason I don't post much here anymore is that I have trouble submitting comments on this site. For whatever reason, whenever I try to post something, instead of my comment being "submitted," I get pushed out to the front page of the site. This started happening about two years ago - on two separate computers. Amspec just won't post my comments without my making a supreme effort. I have to go into my computer control panel and delete my cookies and internet history, and that only works about 20% of the time (and it's disruptive with respect to other sites I frequent).
I have no idea why that happens.
I've written to Amspec about it twice, but they ignore me. I don't think they're tying to ban me, but I must say, every comment I post takes about 20 tries.
I don't have the energy anymore to do that 5 or 6 times a day, and I don't have the time.
So while I will continue to read and post once in a while, I'm done as a regular contributor.
Screw Amspec, I say (their tech folks, anyway).

Margie| 6.2.10 @ 6:18PM
I had a couple of my posts removed recently. And when I first started posting here. But I love the people who post here so I keep coming back! Who knows who or why it happens.. I also had the same problem as you with the returning to the front page thingy. I have a Mac that has some Microsoft in it. I had to do clean ups too and that's temporarily fix it. It may be your computer. We called up our ISP and got a new modum and it works a lot better now, so far.
I do have this thought, though~ not all the authors here appreciate certain conservatives, and we all don't think alike.. do they delete posts? Or maybe others who "work" here? I don't know. It's a mystery!
But don't stay away!

I think you've nailed Obama, GRZMLYK.
rjgraymatter| 6.3.10 @ 9:08PM
Great comments, guys & gals. My 2cents: Obama would resign his position if granted another more prestigious position such as "First World President". Rothschildbankingcartel could easily offer him such an enticing offer - and they can deliver. They are most likely the handlers of O's handlers. Notice how many in the cabinet positions are directly connected to the banking industry? Even Gerald Ford assigned the VP position to Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller. As further information, Nelson Aldrich was the senator who pushed-thru the Fed. Res. Act. Rockefeller is heavy into oil and banks. Follow the money and you'll find the culprits. All money trails lead to London and the banking cartel known as TheHouseOfRothschild. I could go on and on. The last incorruptible Pres. was Andrew Jackson. Our presidents have been handled like lapdogs ever since. :-(
Forever Marine| 6.2.10 @ 12:44PM
" I believe Obama's major problem is he's never exited adolescence. Aside from being a narcissist and a sociopath, he suffers from a kind of Peter Pan syndrome; he simply refuses to grow up."
Yup, I always think of Libs as petulant teenagers who never grew up. They found a leader.
Janice| 6.2.10 @ 2:19PM
But unlike teenagers, the Marxist Liberals are dangerous because they have REAL power and use it with all the subtlety of a jackhammer .
Heatpacker| 6.2.10 @ 1:06PM
I believe that you are correct. Obama, a textbook narcissist if there ever was one, will never resign the office. No matter how badly he performs, he will always find others to blame for his failures. The chances are very good, however, that he will be denied the presidential candidacy of his party in 2012. The Democrats are ruthlessly pragmatic in their approach to domestic politics. Party leaders do not suffer losers. What happened to Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, and Gore after they lost their elections? They were unceremoniously dumped in the political graveyard. Today's party leaders are even more vicious. Rather than endure a humiliating defeat of the man that the party touted as the Savior of the World, if Obama appears to be a potential electoral loser, its leaders will engineer his political demise without hesitation or remorse. Obama will have outlived his usefulness to the Progressive Elites, who care nothing for him as an individual, but view him merely as a means to an end.
BREDNG10| 6.2.10 @ 2:39PM
Obama will never resign.He is a narcissist and a sociopath.What happens if things start collapsing around him (congressional hearings,impeachment etc)?What if he looses the house and senate in 2010 or gets booted out in 2012?He will have still have 3 months to destroy what`s left of the United States.We will still have a sociopath in charge of the country with nothing to loose.Who knows what narcissist in chief will do?Things could get pretty ugly when the end comes.I doubt if he will end it in a bunker in Berlin,like that other sociopath did.
Linda| 6.3.10 @ 10:27PM
I think you're right. I also do not think they are above engineering a literal "demise" if they think it will benefit their bid for continuing power - martyrdom AND no messy impeachment flack. Maybe I'm just becoming paranoid in my old age, but at this point I think they're viscious enough for anything.
Grace| 6.2.10 @ 2:27PM
There are a number of things that will prevent the O from leaving office before 2012 or from not running as an incumbent. a) Ego b) power c) his progressive backers. Even if he loses favor with the Democratic Party, his Chicago politics background will prevent him stepping aside for any reason.
Tom Bruner| 6.2.10 @ 3:28PM
I agree. The only way Obama will resign is if he is forced to due to evidence of criminal wrongdoing, for example if he gets sucked up in the Sestak thing. But he's a Harvard-trained lawyer, so don't count on that. There's a thick wall of expendibles between any wrongdoing and him.

Incumbent presidents do not run in primaries, their RIGHT to a second consecutive term is guaranteed by the position they won in their first election.
Strider| 6.3.10 @ 8:29PM
Tell that to LBJ, Ford & Carter. (True, Ford wasn't elected, but he was still the sitting prez.) LBJ's dropping out of the primaries in the face of Gene McCarthy's challenge was in effect a resignation, just 10 months in advance.
scotchieguy| 6.2.10 @ 1:04PM
Wrong you are, Kenny. Re-read the article. This is a well-reasoned, logical prediction. Iran w/ nukes, the oil spill getting worse--won't be fixed for three mos...that is an eternity, Korea war potential, economy bad and getting worse, health care bill no one wanted, illegals in AZ, Europe going to hell, etc...these will completely overwhelm the guy. Plus there will be mass abandonment from his party...dems already know they are in huge trouble, so it's only natural they will ditch him. He barely beat Hillary, so there will be a resurgence in her again. Plus, everyone is finally, finally, starting to realize how utterly incompetent the guy is. At leasy LBJ and Nixon were extremely experienced and capable leaders--despite their numerous flaws and overall arrogance--and they both resigned (LBJ, in effect resigned by not seeking 2nd term).
So, yeah, I can easily see it happening, and soon. Maybe this summer. Every single day of that oil spill is another nail in his coffin. Plus, do you really think he enjoys this job? Are you serious? He just looks miserable. I think he would rather go back to Chicago and hang out w/ his old buddies Ayres and Wright.
Sparky| 6.2.10 @ 6:52PM

Sulla| 6.2.10 @ 10:41AM
Actually, the legend says it was a harp and he sang his self composed songs to his playing. In reality, he set the fire himself, blamed it on the Christians, and then claimed all the property that was davastated on the Palatine Hill as state property and he built himself a grand palace instead. When the palace was built, he burned Christians at the stake for garden lighting at the opening celebration. Nero would have been a well respected Democrat today.

Stuart Koehl| 6.2.10 @ 3:54PM
Everybody seems to have learned their history at the feet of Mr. Peabody and his boy, Sherman.
Actually, cities just burn. They were made mostly of wood and were shoddily constructed, which, combined with the use of charcoal braziers for both cooking and heating, means frequent fires. This was not the first great fire of Rome, nor was it the last, nor was it even the largest. There is no evidence that anyone started the fire. It just happened.
Now, Nero definitely exploited the fire for his own benefit, since he had wanted to use the area between the Caelian and Esquiline hills to build a new residence, which became known as the Domus Aurius (Golden House), the remains of which (quite spectacular) have been excavated beneath the ruins of the Baths of Titus. It included an artificial lake on the site of the Colosseum, and a gigantic statue of Nero (later reheaded with Helios) that gave the Flavian Amphitheater its popular name.
But Nero also rebuilt whole residential neighborhoods as well, and out of his own pocket. Nevertheless, the rumor got about that Nero had indeed set the fire to clear the way for his Golden House, and in a search for scapegoats, he settled on the Christians--who were charged as incendiaries, not for their religious beliefs (those just made them attractive suspects). However, Nero (an aesthete, if nothing else) did not use Christians as human torches in the inauguration of his new house. That would have been gauche. Rather, the executions took place on the Vatican Hill, across the Tiber, on the site of Nero's Circus (now occupied by the Basilica of St. Peter).
Other errors: the Palatine already belonged mostly to the Imperial family, and had since the days of Augustus. It was precisely because the Palatine residences were too cramped that Nero moved down into the valley at the end of the Forum Romanum.
But you are right--Nero would have been a Democrat today, mainly because of his narcissism, shameless pandering to the mob, artistic pretensions and utter incompetence in governing.

Brian,
The GOP was in power, they failed to live up to their promises. Instead of smaller more efficient government we ended up with compassion and ever expanding deficits. Incompetence, lack of fundemental principles, and an awful candidate all were essential to Obama's election. Perhaps if Bush and the GOP controlled Congress had governed as conservatives we would not be in the mess we are now. Why would the electorate vote for demo-lite (McCain) when they had the real thing?
Jamie| 6.2.10 @ 2:23PM
Tom, I'm tired of looking in the rear view mirror--Obama's just too damn dangerous to be looking backwards. GWB is a good reason to vote for real Conservatives over RINOs.

Tom. You ARE WRONG! The GOP was NOT in POWER! The Dems were! I suggest you hold your tongue and educate yourself before showing your ignorance. Congress was Controlled by the dems since the last Mid-Term Election, almost FOUR YEARS ago. It was the ignorant masses such ass yourself that gave us the situation that lead to the obamanation that is the pretender to the oval office.

I'm afraid they'll view the lesser of two evils as sticking with a failed president vs. abandoning their hold on power.

You might have lots of valid points, but Obama will be protected by the MSM no matter what he does. I think if on Obama's watch, Iran gets the bomb, unemployment goes to 15%, the oil spill only worsens, the media will blame Bush for all of it. His popularity is not great, but he will still win, and the media will did dirt on anyone nominated.
Can you imagine if Bush didn't have a press conference for a year.

Hate to burst your assumption bubble, " unemployement goes to 15%" but, it's already higher than that. It does not take a genuis to understand with one in every five out of work, and nothing to do other than vent upon their anger for a situation not of their own making, there is going to be more than political trouble for this imposter, the one and only punk of the getto trash league, o'blunder. If we don't see riots and devestation on a large scale, (you do remember what happened when O.J. was not convicted for this crimes of murder don't you, the getto trash rioted even then, burned down their neighborhoods, etc) I will be thankful we would have averted another tradegy in the making. What do you think is going to happen to these same people, i.e., the marxist getto trash disguised as union members of the SEIU and their ilk when states all across this Nation will simply fire them or lay them off because they have no money to give?

General Quarters| 6.2.10 @ 7:48AM
The real reason he has to resign is his ineligibility is now irrefutable (see below) and the result of that is everything he signed becomes Null & Void and then dozens if not hundreds of Washington's top power-brokers from SCOTUS to the Joint Chiefs from the Senate & House leadership to the Sec Service detail & most Dept heads all who have been disloyal to their oaths go to jail for the remainder of their lives. If you haven't figured it out yet - Obama himself has claimed that his birth status was governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948 which reads:
Subject to the provisions of this section, a person born after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent if his father is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (Kenyan was a British colony) at the time of the birth and a British Subject is simply not Natural Born.
Louis Jenkins| 6.2.10 @ 8:16AM
Yes, Mr. Gen. Quarters, I too would like to see his certified birth certificate. The Pretender n Chief uses a SS# from Conn. I have endured a lot of mumbo-jumbo from the critics over this issue, but there's just too much that has been legally sealed. There's just too much going on! We can wring our hands and say "just look at who is going to be next", but it cannot be much worse.
tdiinva| 6.2.10 @ 8:47AM
By your logic all presidents prior to Martin Van Buren were ineligible because under existing British law they were born in the American Colonies and were therefore British Subjects. It takes an act of Parliament to revoke British nationality. No such vote was ever taken so Presidents Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Quincy Adams, Jackson and Harrison remained British subjects.
As much as I despise Obama I find that conservative credibility is compromised by bozos like you.
Dave M. (now in S. Korea)| 6.2.10 @ 10:07AM
The U.S. Constitution specifically provides for the likes of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Quincy Adams, Jackson and Harrison. Read all about it in Article II.
General Quarters| 6.2.10 @ 10:08AM
tdiinva, read art2sec1 again. The founders had to exempted themselves but from then on explicitly prevented someone born beholden to a foreign gov or subject of a crown ineligible. It's the whole point of the the section.
loulou| 6.2.10 @ 11:04AM
tdiinva is obfuscating.
Barry Hussein Obama is a citizen of Indonesia and is a Muslim. Anything he has signed as POTUS is null and void. How's that for a constitutional crisis?
E Vattel| 6.2.10 @ 12:01PM
By tdiinva’s logic former Prime Minister Gordon Brown is free and eligible to run for US President in 2012. Ha, ha, sure. . .
Obviously, even tdiinva knows the founders couldn’t form a new government if they had nobody eligible to man it, thus they had to put in an exception for anyone born prior to the Constitutions signing and founding of the nation. Tdiinva is just trying to delay the inevitable and on that note I hope he/she/it is successful. You see if Obama resigns soon, many (but not all) of the traitors in our midst will be left behind. Calls to void everything he’s done will fall on ears more interested in repairing the nations wounds. On the other hand, if this goes unresolved for another 18 months those complicit and complacent in these treasonous acts will have hopelessly entangled their necks and will go down with him, plus we don’t have to struggle to repeal any laws or executive acts that have been demonstrated were never legally enacted in the first place. Regardless of any birth certificate that might show up, a person who was born a British Subject (something admitted to by Obama himself) can never be eligible. You can have a Constitutional Convention and maybe even get enough states to ratify a change to the requirements but it’s not retroactive thus Obama is irrefutably ineligible. It’s now just a question of when and how many fools will to go down with the usurper’s ship when it sinks. Continued inaction will soon become tantamount to a confession of treason. Here’s to those dumb enough remaining smug in their belief they’re untouchable for just a little longer.
tdiinva| 6.2.10 @ 12:52PM
I see the lunatic fringe is out in force here. The same rules apply today as applied back in founding days of the Republic. If I am born in the United States of an American mother and a British father I am a considered a native born American citizen even though the British recognize me as a British subject. The concept of native born is independent from parentage and other nations citizenship laws. If I were born in the United States of two non-citizen parents, who for the sake of argument are legal residents, I meet the eligibility requirements for President or Vice President even if they never become citizens.
Obama was born in Hawaii of an American mother and Kenyan/British subject for a father. He is native born. Here is a fun fact for you. If the One was born in Kenya his mother would have had to have a visa to be in Kenya. There would be a record of that. Why don’t you nutcases file a FOIA request to State to find out if (a) his mother had a passport at that time and (b) whether there is any record of her being outside the country at the time of Obama’s birth? You might even query the government of Kenya to see if they had a record. Travel was much more restrictive back then and borders were rather rigidly controlled.
General Quarters| 6.2.10 @ 1:16PM
Mere Citizen or Native Born Citizen is NOT what is required for P1 or P2 sorry words have meaning and matter. Why have even put art2sec1 in the Constitution if the requirements are the same as that of other offices hmm? Better yet, are you going to campaign for Gordon Brown in 2012? Yeah, you keep stickin to that argument and if you have taken an oath see where it gets you.

E Vattel| 6.2.10 @ 3:07PM

Margie| 6.2.10 @ 6:26PM
Perhaps we could say he's a PINO. President In Name Only, hmm?
Charles Martel| 6.4.10 @ 3:45AM
It's really quite simple: if born in Hawaii, he is eligible; if born in Kenya, he is not. The Oahu County database has a record of his birth, but all that tells us is that his birth was registered in Oahu County, and, as we all know, all information in all databases everywhere is and always has been forever free of error or even the faintest possibility of manipulation.
(It should be noted for the record that his wife called Kenya his "home country", as did Kenya's largest newspaper and Obama's own grandmother -- but what do they know?)
Inquiring minds still want to know whether his purported US citizenship was renounced on his behalf at the time he was adopted by his Indonesian stepfather. Those same inquiring minds would like to know more about his college records -- specifically, whether he registered as a foreign student for the purpose of securing scholarship money. If the latter is the case, two questions arise. First, would that constitute a renunciation, as a legally competent adult, of his purported US citizenship? And second, failing that, would that constitute fraud against the providers of the scholarship? An affirmative answer to either question would be profoundly embarrassing to the "president", even if it did not expose him to criminal liability.
It all has to come out eventually. Let the games begin!

But you would have to know about US History to know that...
General Quarters| 6.3.10 @ 5:37PM
Being branded a traitor to a foreign government or crown does not make you ineligible to be President of the US. However, being born a Legal Subject of a Foreign Crown or government does make you ineligible. If you are not Natural Born at birth you never can be. Simple as that, it's irrefutable.
E Vattel| 6.3.10 @ 6:13PM

You might be able to get them to participate for 24-48 hours in a "martial law" but after that--it's pretty much an illegal action and the soldiers and the people will know it--and we will act. Are they going to gun down a bunch or unarmed citizens taking back their governments? No they aren't. They are going to join them.

Laura Ruby| 6.2.10 @ 1:45PM
I do not believe he will tap the military, nor do I think they will back the Obaminator and turn on U.S. citizens. What is of great interest, however, is his plan for a "domestic army" of youth between 18-25 (brownshirts anyone?) which Obama intends to fund to the tune of $534 billion - the same annual budget for the military. Read The Blueprint by Ken Blackwell. Scary.
Strider| 6.3.10 @ 8:50PM
That "domestic army" will have to wear a uniform of some sort (brown or not), which means the rest of us will know exactly who to kill.
As for the PC-infested military, it will likely fracture along racial lines as the breakup of the US commences. Therefore the black units will be full of undisciplined, untrained pseudo-soldiers under the "command" of incompetent affirmative-action officers. It will be the biggest rout since the F-18s splashed the Zeros in the film The Final Countdown.
Ironic that Maobama will have ultimately dug his own political grave with his gun-grabber rhetoric, which has caused the ongoing resurgence in gun & ammo sales. The overriding purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to safeguard the people's ability to overthrow a tyrannical government.
Way back in the 1970s Claire Wolfe wrote "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." Looks like the "awkward stage" is just about over.
scotchieguy| 6.2.10 @ 2:28PM
Desotobill--get real. This ain't Germany. This is America. Americans love their freedom more than anything else. But they are starting to see it all slip away under Obama. What he has been doing to this country the past sixteen mos. can't last...his luck will run out. The pressure will get to him. He will resign. Americans love to prop their stars up, but when they screw up badly enough, they are just as quick to throw them under the bus. Look at Nixon, Bush (his approval was over 90% after 911), Edwards, OJ, Tiger ...the harder they come, the harder they fall.
George S| 6.2.10 @ 8:19AM
Resignation would mean that he acknowledges mistakes and failure. A narcissist is incapable of that.
Resignation would mean that he is ashamed of his actions and that he needs to maintain his honor. A sociopath is incapable of that.
Resignation would mean that he puts America above his ambitions and that he would die for his country. Only an American patriot is capable of that.
Jeff R| 6.2.10 @ 8:19AM
Perhaps Obama would resign - like Nixon - if there was a matter of legality involved. But policy?
LBJ hung on, at least to complete his term. Hoover didn't go anywhere. In fact, he ran for re-election. Much earlier, James Buchanan should have quit, but he stayed the course, as they say nowadays. During his tenure, the nation tumbled into civil war.
From a purely political standpoint, I hope Obama remains in office. Each day Obama does is one more nail in the Democrats' electoral coffin.
russel| 6.2.10 @ 10:48AM
Correct Jeff . However the hack gets gone , this predicament we're in may set their party back to the stone age . He moved into a decent suburban setting and will leave it a ghetto .

Millie| 6.2.10 @ 8:21AM
First, he won't resign. It would take a rational mind to do that.
Second, if he did resign, we'd have Biden; and after him would be Pelosi. So it's out of the frying pan into the fire.
I'm counting the minutes until November. The best solution is to render the Marxist Democrats powerless and irrelevant at the polls.
But once that's done, we cannot go back to sleep. Must remain vigilant forever.
Thom Burke| 6.2.10 @ 11:59AM
Regarding the line of succession following a resignation, after November Pelosi may no longer be Speaker of the House. Could be John Boehner or Eric Cantor.
Support The Constitution| 6.2.10 @ 10:06PM
Pelosi is NOT in the line of succession! The only way she would be is IF BOTH president AND vice president were incapacitated or killed PERIOD. Would Obama resign She would be ACTING VP TEMPORARILY until Biden would name his own replacement. And even THIS is in question as the constitution states this as "HE" in reference to the Speaker of the House, so would Pelosi be eligible at all? But then again there IS the question of Pelosi's True Gender...
Nick| 6.3.10 @ 12:00AM
Where does it say that the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes "ACTING" Vice President temporarily, after the President is killed or incapacitated?
"Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress."
- U.S. Constitution, 25th Article of Amendment, Section 2
Charles Martel| 6.4.10 @ 4:03AM
Precisely: the office of VP would be vacant until filled by the consent of the Senate to the president's nominee. It's why Carl Albert was never vice president, and Nelson Rockefeller was.

Since then, we have seen only destruction and chaos enveloping the country. Many of us noticed early, the way it was going. Now what is seen by the whole of us is FEAR, not only for our country , but for the WORLD, caused by the U.S.A. turning WEAK!!! We know the failures: politics before people, the wait and "see"/ attidude...."Maybe We won't HaveTo ACT ", the bowing, and SESTAK. But truly, the universally seen is....HE LACKS THE INSTINCT TO BE A TRUE AMERICAN. In any attempt at appearing patriotic, it comes off as unbelirvable, inauthentic and FAKE. Basically he has lost our TRUST....a valiable thing. I like many await the day.....and for his own good, he should , "GIVE US OUR COUNTRY BACK " AND .....RESIGN SOON!!!!

John Steele| 6.2.10 @ 8:32AM
Unfortunately I think Ferrara is wrong --- there will be no resignation. Ferrara bases his beliefs on the proposition that Obama is first and foremost a political animal. But I believe that first and foremost Obama is not a politician, he is an ideologue. And his ideology seeks the diminution if not the outright destruction of America as a world power.
Obama will not resign as long as there is the smallest opportunity to bring America to her knees. And with all of his "czars" in place he does not need the support of Congress, Republican OR Democrat, to accomplish his goals. Evidence the FTC move to "remake" journalism, the FCC's efforts to control the Internet, the EPA's plans to regulate CO2, regulatory plans ad nauseum.
Pray for the Republic --- and defeat every Democrat and RINO.
john steele II| 6.2.10 @ 12:40PM
you are so right, John Steele !
Obama hates America and is trying to bring America to her knees. He is working hard & very effectively to do as much damage to this country as he can.
scotchieguy| 6.2.10 @ 2:40PM
I always thought he would not run for a second term because it would only take one term to destroy the republic. But he is so incompetent, he can't even do that effectively. When the pressure is too great, when the media finally caves, he'll quit...ever watched him throw a baseball? The guy is a wimp.
Jamie| 6.2.10 @ 2:46PM
You give Obama too much credit. He's a coward at his core and he'll tuck his tail and run before he fights the American people.

Ryan| 6.2.10 @ 8:36AM
I always wondered if Obama has the "staying power" of being willing to see his goals through. He never spent a long time in one job, and I wonder if the pressure of having to deal with the day-to-day issues of being President in the moment (dealing with what is happening right now) overtakes his desire of being President and making policy (dealing with what he wants to do).
That being said, I see him more as not resigning, but as not running for a second term and pushing for a Supreme Court position or UN chair.

Tom in Michigan| 6.2.10 @ 8:54AM
Wishful thinking.
A couple of crises (or a bunch, for that matter), regardless of how bad are not going to make Obama resign. Johnson was a gutless poltroon in the base case. There is no way to compare him to Barack Obama who still has supreme confidence in himself.
The media will find a way to cover for him, as they always have and always will. Democrat Presidents are indeed above the law, as Clinton proved. Even if impeachment proceedings were to take place, it's highly unlikely this Congress would approve a removal. Plus, who are you going to replace him with? Biden? I like Uncle Joe (he's like a lovable but slow-witted Uncle. Underneath it all, he’s a decent sort but, he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer).
Pelosi? She brighter than Joe but; she's evil. Giving her even more power would be the end of life as we know it.
Hillary Clinton? My gosh! One good thing Obama HAS done is to expose Clinton’s sheer incompetence (all that stuff about her “following” Bill back to Arkansas, sacrificing her own career is nonsense. She couldn’t pass the DC bar exam and had no choice but to go home) to the world hopefully making her a political cipher for all time (I know there are people who will vote for her, not matter what just as there are people who will support Obama, no matter what but, she has proven herself not up to the task of SOS, let alone POTUS).
So, even if Obama did quit; there’s nobody in the Democrat party who would be a better alternative.
No. The Obama presidency will go on, lurching from crisis to crisis until 2012. As unlikely as it is, our only hope is that he will somehow have an epiphany and shed the ideologues with whom he’s associated his entire life and that there won’t be a major war in the meantime (although the likelihood of one increases every day as America’s enemies smell her weakness like blood in the water). He’s still a young man. Perhaps he can change and come up to the job? Wishful thinking?
scotchieguy| 6.2.10 @ 2:47PM
Tom, you said: "who are you going to replace him with?" It's not like we have a choice. If he resigns, is impeached or dies while in office, the job automatically goes to the VP, in this case, Biden. If something were to happen to him, then the job goes to the Speaker, Pelosi.
Tom in Michigan| 6.2.10 @ 5:03PM
Right. I know the Order of Succession all the way to the Secretary of Homeland Security. My point was the immediate successors don't offer much of an alternative as one is apparently not too bright (but likable, in his own quirky way) and the other is evil as well as the fact it's all academic since there is little or no possibility Obama won't at least finish his first term.
Thanks for reading my post, though. Cheers.
DonDuke | 6.2.10 @ 8:59AM
I don't believe there is even the remotest chance that Chairman Obama will give in. My word! He eschews hubris with every beat of his heart.

once again, thank you.
As evidenced by the comments already, your article is once again thought provoking and forward looking....heh, and certainly "outside the box".
I think we have to plan for the worst; that he will remain there...and that there are not enough decent Americans willing to get off their butts in November this year and vote "against communism".
(pardon the shorthand).
Truly, that is what the November 2010 election is all about. If we cannot "hamstring him" with a solid R congress, then 2012 won't matter. It just won't matter.
He and his fellow travelers and "useful idiots" will have entrenched to such a degree, and with no sense of fear of political reprisal.
In millions of intensely personal fashions, millions of Americans will indeed "go Galt", and shrug.
In some near future, I hope you will shine your splendid spotlight on that HUGE over-riding economics phenomenon I call "the velocity of dollars". I personally see that velocity going down to a crawl even as I write here.

He's too narcissistic, for one.
In addition, he'd have to have a deep abiding love for this country in his heart and he doesn't have that. He believes it is his destiny to reshape and reform America into what he believes it should be. He has no love for the country as is.
Pete| 6.2.10 @ 10:01AM
Pat, this was my thought as well...way too narcissistic. He actually believes he is some sort of deity and rather than acknowledge a single failure or shortcoming, the idiot will double down and blindly waddle ahead all the while crying "racist" at those who point out how wrong he is. I would be shocked if we ever hear the words, "I'm sorry" from him unless they are followed by "Bush caused this."
Derek Leaberry| 6.2.10 @ 9:56AM
Wishful thinking. The American people are conflicted in their thinking and Obama will be ruthless in using that to his advantage. Americans want lower taxes but want to keep the big programs like Social Security, Medicare and a gigantic military. Expect Obama to run his 2011-2012 presidency much like Bill Clinton ran his in 1995-1996, using Republicans as his foil.
Before writing off Obama ask yourself three questions- 1) who is the plausible candidate to run against Obama; 2) what plausible program can the Republicans offer to counter Obama's program; and 3) are the American people any less degraded than the Americans who voted Obama in?
Claire Solt PhD| 6.2.10 @ 10:02AM
Most people exaggerate the power of the President and the government. If government spending takes 25% of GDP, that means that 75% of economic power is outside the government.
I have been surprised that the powers that be have let this go on this long. Seems they promote a change through election. This Sesteck scandal smells like Watergate redux to me. Obama has alienated too many powerbases to maintain support. He willbe persuaded to step down with a gun to his head, if necessary. Colin Powell will be the persuader.

Claire,
Your equation is simplistic. It ignores the immense impact of regulation, fiscal and monetary policies. The federal government is both the largest consumer in the conutry AND the one who makes the rules under which businesses compete. I could destroy an economy with a much lower than 25% take in taxes just by how I target who will be taxed.

I think it far more likely, when the heat rises, that he will attempt to install himself as "President for Life." I believe he would fail in this attempt, our military would never go along, but I see no set of events or circumstances which would convince him to resign.
As we all know, he took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic - an oath he has manifestly ignored.
Many, many other people have taken similar oaths and intend to uphold them. The day will come when all who have taken such oaths will have to decide to whom they are loyal.
Will they stand with the Constitution, as they swore in their oath, and the American People, or will they stand with a pompous, arrogant, and extremely dangerous man who claims by position of authority to be the legal representative of that Constitution?
Danny Boy| 6.2.10 @ 10:12AM
While I don't disagree with Peter's indictment, with all due respect, he does not fathom Chicago style politics. Not only will he not resign, but he will also be re-elected, one way or the other. Our real concern needs to be how to oppose the coming effort to abrogate the 22nd amendment.

As for him resigning, it is just as probable that he, his fascist friends in Congress, and the fascist state-run media will create a "crisis" that will require the suspension of elections and full dictatorial powers invested in Obama for as long as anyone can foresee.

Old Joe| 6.2.10 @ 10:24AM
Great Article but just wishful thinking.
Everyone needs to remember that in his books Obama stated that when in college he sought out the company of black radicals and Marxist professors, both of which preach the destruction of America. And have you forgotten that he spent 20 years in a Black Liberation church whose pastor preaches the hatred of white people and the destruction of America. Remember, he said that Rev. Wright was his mentor?
Also you should remember the interview where Obama stated that he would rather be a “good” one term president than a bad two term president. If you consider that his goal is the destruction of America as she now exists, he will pack every bit of evil he can into one full 4 year term and no way in hell would he ever consider resignation. And no way in hell will the Democrat party desert him. Remember how they held strong and supported the Perjurer in Chief, Clinton, in the face of irrefutable evidence. I’m not talking about the political class only; I am talking about the rank and file party members too.
Impeachment would be a great thing but it would require the entire list of Republicans in the Senate and some Democrats as well. The Democrats will be loyal to the party before they will be loyal to their oath of office (proven too many times) and moderate Republicans (Rinos like McCain, Graham, and Brown) will show their true colors (yellow) and vote against conviction.

Anthony| 6.2.10 @ 10:29AM
An interesting hypothesis, but flawed by the power of reason.
In the first instance, this isn't 1968, where the Democrat Party still had some modicum of integrity and intellectual honesty. The Democrat Party of today is intellectually and morally bankrupt and corrupt. They will stop at nothing to acheive their leftist goals,which for the 1st time in decades, is within their grasp.
Secondly, Obama is delusional, as are the likes of Reid, Pelosi, and a whole host of Ds in the media and other prominent institutions. They see nothing wrong with the direction of America, and in fact, think things have never been better!! This is mass hysteria, right before our eyes!!
Even if the Ds suffer massive loses in November, Obama and his ilk will dig in even deeper; it's part of their nature as elitist leftists.
The only thing that will remove Obama is a massive election defeat, worse than McGovern's. As we sit here today, do you think that will happen??
RCV| 6.2.10 @ 12:17PM
No it won't. We in the Democratic Party worked long and hard for Obama's election and are delighted at the progress made so far: meaningful health care reform started, financial reregulation begun, disengagement from the disastrous war in Iraq close to fruition. There is still much to be done: immigration reform; bringing sexual orientation equality to the military; trying to repair the disastrous situation in the Middle East that the Iraq invasion brought about, including the resurgence of Iran and the isolation of Israel; containment of the maniac in Pyongyang; restoration of respect and admiration for US leadership abroad; and continued economic recovery after the 2008 financial collapse. But given the prospective GOP field in 2012, we have every confidence that President Obama will be reelected. The fractious tea party movement will have destroyed any hope of GOP unity.
Tom| 6.2.10 @ 12:37PM
How exactly did Obama change the trajectory of American disengagement in Iraq? How is the maniac in Pyongyang contained considering he just sank a ROK naval vessel and continues to build nuclear weapongs? How has this new respect and admiration for US leadership accomplished anything? How is the economy recovering and why is any of the anemic growth that is happening attributable to Obama's policies? How is Obama dealing with Israel's isolation or Iran's resurgence?
On a different note I hate the use of the word reform in any political debate. It allows the side who is proposing changes in the law to attempt to stifle debate. Afterall, who is against reform? The problem is in a political context reform is so subjective as to be meaningless. I can spin any change in any aspect of civil society as reform. Hell, lets package a border fence, shoot on sight edicts, and mandatory life sentences for those who employ illegal - yes they are illegal - aliens and call it comprehensive immigration reform.
Anthony| 6.2.10 @ 1:46PM

No Charles, I don't subscribe to the theory of immortality, nor have I seen an immortal up close and personal. However, even an additional 4 years in office will render America significantly crippled for decades to come. I hope we agree on that point.
Charles| 6.2.10 @ 2:11PM
Oh, for sure; no argument on that. He is doing enormous harm. But while I don't think 0 will resign, I think Mr. Ferrara is correct in that, before the 2012 election, he will be neither president nor his party's nominee. I have been saying it, in writing, since before he was elected.
Kenneth E. MacAlister Jr.| 6.2.10 @ 10:38AM
Nice thought Mr. Ferrera, but will never occur. B.O., the most overrated man since Judas Iscariot won the A.D. 30 Best Disciple Competition, is too proud of himself to resign. To you & I he's a failed President, but in his twisted mind he's very competent. He's accomplishing his main goal in transforming the U.S. into a Banana Republic & weakening her until no one fears her any longer. When you consider his intensions when he took office he's been a smashing success to everyone who thinks like he does. Why would he even think of resigning? Leftocrats DO NOT resign. They surround the wagons & let the state-run, drive-by media do the rest. B.O. stinks, but he isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Nice dream while it lasted though. GOD bless & have a nice day!

To all –
I agree with Peter Ferrara and BHO will resign sometime mid-2012.
BUT – we will resign to accept the secretary general position at the UN. Where he will wreak even more havoc.
Look for a showdown between the UN (lead by BHO) and the U.S.– led by Palin or Patreaus - and Isreal.

Not possible. It's simply not possible for somebody, anybody, as deeply in love with himself as is Barack Obama to even contemplate resignation.
Maddox| 6.2.10 @ 11:09AM
Why would he resign when he has been successful? The damage being done to America is intentional. It is his agenda to destroy our way of life to make life equitable for all but his ruling class.
His agenda is winning, he hates The United States.
The question is whether the Democrat Party feels the same way and will stand by and allow him to destroy the economy, national defense, and our freedom. Unless some of the Democrats find their lost patriotism and help Republicans, he cannot be stopped.

tanarg| 6.2.10 @ 11:11AM
I think the press is already peeling off and that if O. gets enough heat from it and elsewhere -- and doesn't get the narcissistic rush he needs from people -- he will seek it elsewhere. What matters is how is looked at and treated. These are things we cannot know except when they "bleed" into public moments that we witness or are talked about by people in his presence who observe the psychological dynamics.
In short, he can be led to resignation by understanding what is oxygen to a narcissist and DEPRIVING him of it. The press has already begun to do that.

"Even before Obama and the New Left takeover of Washington, the top 1% of taxpayers were already paying more in income taxes than the bottom 95% combined, as the Tax Foundation has accurately reported based on official IRS data."
While this is true it is less than half the story. The top quintile of tax payers have a 41.5% share of comprehensive household income, pays 52.5% of federal taxes and 48.8% of total taxes. The middle quintile has a 15.4% share of comprehensive household income, pays 14.1% of federal and 14.8% if total taxes. The effective tax rate for the top quintile is 34.5% and for the middle quintile is 28.2%. Total revenues are much more than just income taxes, payroll taxes grab a major portion of income for those in the bottom and middle income brackets. State and local taxes are far less progressive than federal ones. We are all, with the exemption of those at the bottom, paying too much in taxes. But it is because we expect and ask too much.
As I see it the damage and danger of the current tax policy is not that anyone is 'not paying his fair share.' rather it is the system is designed to stifle growth. Double taxation on investment, estate and taxes on dividends for example, are a much greater drain on the economy than income tax rates.
Sheila| 6.2.10 @ 11:35AM
To predict resignation is to assume Obama possesses a sense of shame or responsibility; he substitutes hubris and vanity. The Democratic party would never force out its black messiah. Hillary is at least as incompetent as Obama but without the pseudo-cool persona and faux charm, and the won's single real accomplishment in 2008 was destroying the Clinton machine. Finally, I guess I'm still one of the very few who genuinely believes Obama will never leave office willingly. There will be some sort of Reichstag fire or national emergency resulting in martial law. Yes, some of our armed forces will doubt, but I feel the white majority is too burdened by guilt and too conditioned to obey rules and regulations to stand up for itself. We're the proverbial frog, and the temperature is steadily rising - and people really think that holding signs and declaring their readiness to vote (for the stupid party) will make a difference. Decline and fall.
MikeN| 6.2.10 @ 11:40AM
Don't assume that Clinton wasn't involved. He was Clinton's hand-picked candidate, with fundraisers by Sandy Berger and others. They wanted to take out Curt Weldon, who was investigating intelligence failures that caused 9/11. Before the election in 2006, there was a surprise raid by the FBI on Weldon's house, which was the tipping point for Sestak's defeating Weldon. Sestak was also the only guy to be named by Clinton in his rant against Chris Wallace.

There is lots left to do, but we will get it done. And when you look at the array of potential challengers on the Republican side, we have no doubt that we will have 8 years to accomplish it.

No, you're confusing him with George Bush, who bailed out AIG, Citibank, et al. just before he left office - we were losing 800,000 jobs a month when he left, and now the economy has finally made it back to almost equilibrium. It will take some time, given the mess we inherited from your party, but we'll eventually clean up the mess we inherited from 8 years of Bush-Cheney.

Elliot,
The word is hypocrite.
How exactly were the wars illegal? I do remember authorizations by Congress, repeated votes to fund the war, and numerous UN mandates. What was the illegality? Is Obama's targetting for execution of Taliban and AQ members in Pakistan a legal war? Or the continued actions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and numerous other places in the world?
Bush tromping on our Constitution? Ok, I will - for arguments sake - accept your premise. Why are you not denouncing Obama? He is continuing those very same Bush Constituion tromping policies. Or is it because Obama is doing it it is suddenly cool?

I'll take Biden, any day. At least, he's a legal American citizen with a legitimate birth certificate on file. We'll keep him on a leash and duct tape his mouth shut, until we can elect a president who's worthy of the position. Pelosi can be VP -- a job "not worth a bucket of warm piss," quipped "Cactus Jack" Garner, our 32nd Vice President. (The media PC-ized it to "spit.")

chris| 6.2.10 @ 12:49PM
I don't expect Obama to resign, but I suspect that HRC will resign over a pretextual policy dispute (e.g. over the admninstration's approach to Iran or North Korea) and that she will mount a campaign, which begins in 2011, to unseat Obama in the 2012 primary.
I further predict that the Obama brand will have soured much more than it already has by Nobember, 2010 and that it will have become borderline toxic by 2012.

Deep down inside, Obama must know that he would further send the Dem Party and his "accomplishments" [further] down the tubes if he were to run in 2012. Even a red herring knows that he is a red herring.......
BHO will have a ready narcissistic excuse -- of why he is not running again -- because he has done all he could for our USA. He will continue to trumpet his blame game and also state that public opinion has hindered him from making the necessary changes for America that he had promised.
BHO is accumulating too many hurdles and obstacles, due to his incessant disregard for patriotic America. As liberally rabid as he is, he instinctively knows that he cannot win back those [now, regretful voters] who voted for him, but, who have come out of their BHO closets, declaring how their "change" guy, beguiled them. Obama is growing weary -- and, maybe even weary of his own hypocrisies and deception.

Get real, folks. Ain't gonna happen. Obama is, hands down, the best brand the Democrats have got going for them. He won't necessarily make difference in every race - but Obama ain't going anywhere. And for a senior writer at this publication to seriously suggest otherwise shows - as if we needed much more proof - just how out of touch, not just with political and legal realities, but with the mood of the country.
A challenge to Mr. Ferrera: When Obama DOESN'T resign, and in fact is re-elected by a landslide in 2012, I dare you to come back and publically eat your words. You won't, because like most conservatives you are full of shit.

There's a lot of posts here and I'm qualifying this post up-front, it will be redundant...
Obama has never had to WORK in his life, never. He's never picked-up a shovel, split wood, raked leaves, been on his roof, actually dug a hole and planted a tree, the schmuck is pseudo royalty. His State Senate job was a flexible alarm clock for the guy, it simply was a reason to get up in the morning. Being a US Senator from the state of Illinois, was again, just an excuse to get up in the morning.
It appears to me he hates the responsibility, it's something he would rather do without. I believe he thought the president gig was going to be easy, just kick-back and things would be taken care of and party on Wednesdays. His disarming ability to read a teleprompter and not sound like Al Sharpton was his major asset and cooed a majority of voters into supporting him, to a now growing majorities horror.
Yeah and if he doesn't resign, just hoping he's not allowed to propose any more legislation, except to strike the HealthCare abomination...

He is way too much of a narcissist to resign. It would reflect poorly on him. I fear that the Democrats will figure out that the best way to mobilize their base in 2012 is to make a martyr out Barak Hussein Obama and hire the same firm that handled Vince Foster's issue for him. When they try to pin the tragedy on some Teapartier, their scenario (in their minds) will keep them in power.
Michael| 6.2.10 @ 1:41PM
I think this article doesn't factor in the current crisis in Israel. I think it will be the flash point for one of Obama's foreign policy plans to go nuclear, possibly in the literal sense. If anything happens, we could be facing an armed conflict of unknown parameters. That could be a game changer in any direction. In any case, Obama will be known in history as a president who literally tried to sacrifice the nation for the most superficial of political objectives.
Tom in Michigan| 6.2.10 @ 2:28PM
Indeed. You are correct. Netanyahu has already decided to stand his ground. Realizing Israel now stands totally alone, they will give up trying to appease world opinion and start to act in their own defense.
I think there will be a major war on Obama's watch - and I don't mean another Iraq or Afghanistan. I just returned from a trip to Japan and Korea. The Koreans are incensed by the North Korean attack. They also fear the US will not stand with them. So, we basically have two nations with everything to lose, in one case convinced of the lack of US resolve and in the other case, unsure. This is a formula for disaster.
So much for "smart" diplomacy.
Michael| 6.2.10 @ 2:51PM
I agree with you that a war on his watch is almost inevitable at this point. Even if we change policy directions, the North Koreans and Palestinians are on a slow learning curve and won't get it before they start something. My fear is that Obama will use a crisis to suspend elections and our rights. It follows his pattern of creating a crisis and then emplementing objectives he was after to begin with. A crisis is only camoflage for his plans.
Jeff| 6.2.10 @ 1:43PM
I think his arrogance would prevent resignation. Though the only thing I see to cause him to think about it would be a mass exodus of his team players -- namely loyal insiders. (Kingmakers)As long as he has those he doesn't really care about the nation or public mood. As with healthcare, he believes you’ll like it once you realize you cannot do anything about it. Plus he has been so busy reminding people "I won" the election, that this is too much of a blow to his superego to consider. If he has spent the last …er most of his political career posturing for this moment, I doubt he could rationalize resigning. In fact he has rationalized his success out of thin air all the way; but it is completely our fault if we don’t see him as the answer to all our problems. (i.e. ‘you just don’t believe hard enough’)

Jim O'Brien| 6.2.10 @ 1:58PM
Obama hasn't done one thing right since he took office. He lied when he took the oath of office; he doesn't even agree with the Constitution that he swore to "preserve, protect, and defend". He has unilaterally weakened our nuclear defense, failed to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons, failed to contain North Korea, alienated allies in Eastern Europe, failed to defend our border with Mexico, and he is giving terrorists the rights of American citizens in our courts. To further help the terrorists, he displays his hostility toward Israel and the Jews, who have contributed more to the advancement of humanity than any other ethnic group, BY FAR. By comparison, Obama's ummah is socially, technically, and economically bankrupt.
The unemployment rate and the national debt have surged since he took office, but he is clueless what to do about it. His agenda of more government spending and higher taxation is exactly the opposite of what is needed to rescue our economy: we need huge cuts in government spending coupled with lower taxes. Meanwhile, he has announced that the U.S., the protector of freedom around the world, is not exceptional. As if to prove it, Obama will abandon our leadership in space exploration.
Obama forbids national security experts from even identifying the terrorist enemies as being part of radical Islam, despite their murderous history which goes all the back to the days of Jefferson and the Barbary Coast. If Obama can't bring himself to define the enemy, what are the odds that he will defend us against them? Another 9/11 is a certainly with Obama in the White House. For example, one might expect an EMP device detonated over the central U.S., shutting down our communications and our economy, or a dirty bomb in one or more major cities, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans. Such an event might bring about his resignation, and Biden's, as well as public demand for Congressional "leaders" to resign. "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary ...."

What you and many others have described without so labeling it as such is Executive Jihad -- a calculated plan to weaken and destroy the USA from within (further wrecking our economy and financial system) and without (dissing our allies, apologizing for USA, refusing to stand up against N.Korea and Iran, etc.). At that jihad, BHO is doing an excellent job. He is leveraging many liberal groups to help accomplish this overarching goal. My fear is that it may soon be too late to reverse the effects of this trend.

NonLib that is exactly what Obama set out to do destroy our country as we know and love. I believe he is a muslim and not an american citizen.He lied from day one with the help of SEIU,ACORN and all his ZCARS and anyone who dos not support his gause will be eliminated one way or another.

Stay out in front of the curve.
Sestak's campaign is about Triangulating The Democrat Establishment & Real Conservative Pat Toomey using "Accountability " as his operative attack word.
Sestak is the same opportunist little puke , he was when Admiral Mullen canned his keister.
blindsangamon| 6.2.10 @ 2:02PM
Obama, the true Alinskyite sees the Gulf oil spill, nuclear Iran, Isreal at War, and a devastated economy as just more in a series of crises to exploit for appointment of Czars, establishments of more Departments, and seizing further control. All through his campaign, Obama liberally used Lincoln imagery - so there is little doubt he will feel at home in a Civil War White House, with suspension of elections, etc., and foreign troops more than willing to aid their ally. I have no doubt whatsoever that Obama will be the last president of the United States.
Handy| 6.2.10 @ 2:05PM
Obama will not resign. He may be marginalized and refuse to run for re-election. He may claim a physical problem, or need to spend more time with the Family. The Democrat party will provide him cover as long as he plays along.
But, there is another perfectly plausible scenario: Obama goes nuts. He is such a narcissist/sociopath that he will not understand when people really turn against him and will no longer follow his orders, attend his gab fests or laugh at his jokes. This could easily lead to extreme melancholia, beyond the reach of modern medicine.
Unable to face up to his shortcomings, and increasingly isolated from reality, he may just deny us his brilliance and "off" himself.
There, that will show 'em.
Jeff| 6.2.10 @ 2:23PM
It may be a dream, but Obama is bigger dreamer.
Instead of allowing the office to mold him to higher level of leadership -- affected by and growing into the office – he visions we the people of clay he can mold into his serfdom. Organize for America. Way too many have empowered him to do it along the way. Everything is backwards with his ...lack of real leadership. It’s a lesson to the people: be careful what you wish for. What other guy lobbies himself and pats himself on the back at the same time?
We should stay above that. I remember all that talk and the pleas for W to do himslef from leftville. They were quite serious.
Jeff | 6.2.10 @ 2:29PM
Sorry for the error.
"Unable to face up to his shortcomings, and increasingly isolated from reality, he may just deny us his brilliance and "off" himself."

Sorry for the confusion. I am not advocating that Obama "off" himself; merely pointing out the possibility that if he is not being adulated to his satisfaction, he will show us how much we will miss him.
The guy is becoming more and more deranged with every new public appearance. He is on the edge of true dementia.
I just hope he doesn't end up being some kind of martyr at the hands of Democrat "operatives."
Jeff | 6.2.10 @ 11:56PM
I realize you aren't suggesting it. However, Biden might suggest it -- after contemplating "this guy will never step down".
A martyr for the left is a scary thought.
But yea, he cannot take rejection or disagreement, that is for sure. No telling how he will handle that. It would make the Gore ordeal look like kindergarten.

SC| 6.3.10 @ 2:06AM
That's the scenario I find more plausible as well. When he realizes that most of his former supporters now are at the very least disgusted with him for well any number of reasons and he isn't as popular like say Michael Jordan (had to go with a Chicago guy) he goes into deep depression and offs himself leaving a note behind that says "Bush made me kill myself, blame him".
Dauntless| 6.2.10 @ 2:10PM
I dont think he will resign . His pride and arrogance will not let him. But I see this happening. Guess who will resign her cabinet post after the mid term elections..to save the Democratic Party....yep two more years of pant suits.
EF| 6.3.10 @ 12:08PM
I agree with Dauntless... Obama is too proud to resign. He is the first one to believe what others are telling him (that he is the best thing since sliced bread.) If he resigns, I'd be really surprised. And the very same pride will surely make him run again, although for sure, he won't win another term.

I looked up this article on the Internet because I heard about it on the Count Down news program. It seems that the extreme right wing can’t stand the fact that the public elected Barack Obama President of the United States. President Obama has performed just fine and is holding his own against the vitriolic complains of every right winger in creation. Next on the liberal agenda is the re-election of President Obama to four more years. The right wing will continue to complain while the rest of us enjoy a better life.
JmsA| 6.2.10 @ 2:38PM
Empty rhetoric, Gerry, just like your side continues to spew as does the hole in the gulf. Plug the damn hole already! By the way, Rasmussen Reports outlines a Presidential Approval Index of -14. Go back to MSNDC; you're not fooling anyone here. And while you're at it, take the two resident lefty idiots, Alan Brooks and Purpleturd with you.
JP| 6.2.10 @ 3:06PM
"President Obama has performed just fine and is holding his own against the vitriolic complains of every right winger in creation. Next on the liberal agenda is the re-election of President Obama to four more years."
Gerry,
Think about what you just wrote. He's President of the United States for crying out loud. He has a nation to govern; he enjoys majorities that are the envy of any political party; and he came into office enjoying a very rare wellspring of goodwill. Back in Jan of 2009, what the GOP said or thought was irrelavant. Obama had a very rare chance to put into place a series of bi-partisan legislation and reforms that everyone could agree on. But that meant he had to govern from the middle, make compromises, and most of all keep Pelosi and Reid on a tight leash.
But, he wasted that chance big time. He did the thing that most conservatives knew he would do -go Left in a big way. The GOP was and still is irrelavant from a political poiint of view. The President went from 70% Job Approvals in March 2009 to 43% in May 2010. And he did it all by himself. He errors were all unforced.
And I agree with Peter Ferrera; the President is enjoying what is probably a very short, shallow recovery. When unemployment goes beyond 11.%, his political career will be over.

They don't get it that the Democrats don't give a rat's rump for them, they blindly will follow even as the nation disintergrates. I know. I live in rural Virginia and am a WASP.............a minority.
sickofbo| 6.2.10 @ 9:11PM
I agree Dekko. The blacks look at him as a staus symbol. They are trying so hard to have a history making presidency, they fail to see how inept he is. It is really very tragic. He plays on their sympathies and votes by pretending to be black. My guess is they will keep voting for him based on that single premise.

The only way would be for voters to actually FORCE elected officials to demand and officiate Obama's impeachment.
As is, nearly all Republicans in Congress are playing the waiting game so that they THEMSELVES can perpetuate the federal monstrosity that GWB enabled and Obama augments:
MORE SOCIALISM VIA NEOCONSERVATISM.

Robomarkov | 6.2.10 @ 2:54PM
If Obama resigns in disgrace, then who does that leave in charge? Biden. His incompetence would require a strong handler and no handler is strong enough to get him elected to the high office in 2012. But even an acting and temporary president needs a VP. That leaves Hillary Clinton in charge, personally, or by proxy.
Don Free| 6.2.10 @ 2:56PM
I disagree. His replacement would be VP Biden, I doubt that is a better alternative. The American people may not reelect him, or he may elect not to run, but the national heart ache involved in the resignation of a president, regardless of one's thoughts on the president's policies, will be a powerful force towards keeping him in office.
Charles| 6.2.10 @ 3:03PM
Believe me: with the state he'll be in, neither 'heartache' nor anyone's "thoughts on the president's policies" will be sufficient to keep him in office.
The dead may vote in Chicago, but getting one to actually serve is a problem not even the Democrats will be able to lick.

Study your own religion and understand it before you kick out someone elses legs. We are suppossed to be a "united" country of diverse peoples. All I see lately is hate, discrimination, racial profiling, ignorance, confusion, and lots of useless comments attacking people who are different than yourselves. Remember, also, that Barak came into office with a plethora of issues un resolved from the previous administration. Like many other presidents in the past. We need to redirect our energy towards solving the problems. Like lining up rich bankers and shooting them. It's a start.

At least we're not flying airplanes into buildings and killing innocents, or for that matter, beheading people in the name of our god.
"We are suppossed to be a "united" country of diverse peoples. All I see lately is hate, discrimination, racial profiling, ignorance, confusion, and lots of useless comments attacking people who are different than yourselves." Ever heard of E Pluribus Unum? We're a nation of immigrants who became Americans, not illegal aliens, breaking our laws, and imposing their alien cultures, religions, and languages on us. "Remember, also, that Barak came into office with a plethora of issues un resolved from the previous administration." Just like those before him did, and he hasn't improved anything. Why don't you ask him when he's going to plug the damn hole in the gulf, or for that matter, just get the hell out of the way so the locals can do something to salvage what they can, since him and his band of cronies have failed so miserably to date? "We need to redirect our energy towards solving the problems. Like lining up rich bankers and shooting them. It's a start." You mean the same bankers that contributed so much to his and other democrats' campaigns?

Northern Rebel| 6.2.10 @ 3:36PM
The idea that "President" Anti-Christ would ever resign from office makes me afraid for the person's naive mindset, who would conceive of such a notion.
This is the man using scorched earth philosophies to destroy our nation right before our eyes, with a brazeness heretofore unprecedented.
He has removed so much money from the private sector, that it will take a generation to fully recover, and this is before his cap and tax scheme is put into place.
Like a trapped rat, he will fight to the death to implement his communist agenda.
His most valuable tool will be the race card. He is quite willing to pit americans against each other, and that includes race riots. instead of uniting us by becoming the first semi-black President, he will pervert it, to the extent that it will put race relations back decades.
"We are attacking him because he is a brother," will be the mantra, even though as a 5th generation caucasion American, I probably have more slave blood in me, than he does.
He will become a martyr that disgruntled black liberals will rally around, ad naseum.
His idea is to "save" the country by destroying the very foundations that made us the greatest country in the world.
A couple of nagging legal issues is the least of his worries. He has already created a shadow government infrastructure of fascism that, like barnacles, will take decades to scrape off the bottom of America's shoe.
He truly epitomizes evil on such a grand scale, that I doubt if his childish narcissitic mental faculties can grasp the full nature of the damage he has done to world freedom, by undermining our government.
Resign?
It will become the platform for his re-election campaign!
WAKE UP, my gullible friends!

This current democrat lineup showcases the gross incompetence of the liberal - virus - ideology; particularly by those who act on said ideology.
The only thing liberalism is good at, is destruction; they're adept with destroying, and inept at construction.
It's too bad, that so many genuine American people were duped into the "historic first african-american ..." facade, when in fact they should have been patient in giving that kind of honor to someone WORTHY of it.
Let this impatient demonstration of America, bear record of the damage of making decisions without DUE judgment.

If Obama was born here, he would have shown proof before now.

1. Avoid open bribery.
1.1. Offer him to serve as a volunteer on an important committee of some kind.
2.1. Hope he comes back with: "Hey, I'm running for a job that pays...This is my big chance. You've seen the polls. Can you get me a paid position in exchange?"
2.2. Get to say that he approached Clinton for political payoff...and could either
2.2.1. Act enraged and threaten to expose him...Thereby getting him out of race as a corrupt candidate who seeks bribes.
2.2.2. Tell him you'll have to get back with him.
2.2.3. Give him the "real" paid position you couldn't offer him initially, as you were not sure that he would drop out if you gave him a for pay bribe.
Moral: Close enough to power (former president of the USA) without actually being in the Oval Office to be almost irresistable.
2. Deny bribery because bribes involve just paid positions....(??????) While this is the apparent path they're taking, the power and influence that Clinton is directing this candidate to is inherent. Otherwise, what's the benefit? Altruism? What?--In politics???
Lori | 6.2.10 @ 6:47PM
It is good to see more predictions like this - that Obama wouldn't make to the 2012 elections. I have made my own prediction regarding impeachment: that the Republicans would take the entire Congress Fall 2010 and impeachment proceedings, having already been drafted, would be brought forth February 2011. Mark my words!
RCV| 6.2.10 @ 9:01PM
I will mark them, Lori. There isn't a chance in the world that Republicans will take either house of Congress this fall, let alone both. Their inability to take even the conservative Democratic Murtha district last month is evidence of their failure to transform the tea party froth into GOP gains. In fact, the major effect of the Tea Party to date has been to deny Republicans the chance of capturing sets they had a lock on, as in Florida and Kentucky, and to fracture the party as they are doing now in Utah and Alaska. Republicans will make the usual modest off-year gains the party out of power makes, but the Democrats will retain both houses, and our President will be reelected in 2012. Mark my words!
ZerObama| 6.2.10 @ 9:47PM
Dope. Murtha's district has been sucking on the government teat for 30 years. Conservative? Hardly. They're just more democrat blood sucking leeches like you, troll.
Democrat candidates are staying away from Obama like he has the plague. No wonder! Every candidate he stumps for--loses!! haha
Independents have left the democrat party in droves--even liberal biased Gallup has republicans up by 6 points over demos--a first!
REPUBS ARE ALSO A LOT MORE ENERGIZED THAN DEMOS.
NOVEMBER'S GONNA BE A POLITICAL BLOODBATH! Read it and weep, moron.

They're energized, yes, but busy caniballizing each other and knocking off their strongest candidates. The GOP will make modest political gains this fall, and Democrats will remain in control of both houses of Congess.

EPA and the “National Contingency Plan”
Did any of you know that the US supposedly has a National Contingency Plan for dealing with very large oil spills? And that EPA has legal responsibility for maintaining readiness for such an eventuality? Who knew? I’ve watched hours of coverage and this hasn’t been mentioned anywhere.
The National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan Act was signed into law in 1994 (superceding previous legislation that went back to the 1969 Torrey Canyon oil spill.) Laws and regulations are collated here. The EPA has an online book describing the National Continency Plan. See for example http://www.epa.gov/oem/docs/oi...../chap7.pdf (change the number to get other chapters.)
The EPA manual says:
WHEN A MAJOR oil spill occurs in the United States, coordinated teams of local, state, and national personnel are called upon to help contain the spill, clean it up, and ensure that damage to human health and the environment is minimized. Without careful planning and clear organization, efforts to deal with large oil spills could be slow, ineffective, and potentially harmful to response personnel and the environment. In the United States, the system for organizing responses to major oil spills is called the National Response System.
One of the principles of the National Contingency Plan is that an effective and prompt response is a national priority. The chair and vice-chair of the National Response Team are to come from EPA and the Coast Guard. The EPA manual says:
AFTER THE PLAN is developed, it is important to test it to see if it works as anticipated. Testing usually takes the form of an exercise or drill to practice responding to a spill.
Also, in a first reading, the presumption of the legislation is that dealing with major problems is a national interest and the government will take charge. The idea behind the plan is that there will be national readiness to deal with oil spills and that EPA will lead the national readiness. Section 3.1.1 (h) states:
Direct planning and preparedness responsibilities of NRT [national Response team] include: (1) Maintaining national preparedness to respond to a major discharge of oil that is beyond regional capabilities.
MMS, who have borne the brunt of criticism of government activities, play little to no role in the National Contingency Plan – based on my initial reading – and definitely a very minor role relative to EPA. MMS does not appear to be a member of the National Response Team (though 300.175 notes that MMS may have useful information and can be called on through the Dept of Interior representative).
I’ve noticed EPA involvement in worrying about dispersant toxicity, but otherwise EPA seems to have been surprisingly invisible given the prominent role assigned to them in the National Contingency Plan.
I’ve only browsed the legislation and manuals and it’s not an area about which I speak authoritatively. I invite readers to look through the Act, regulations and manuals and comment on the degree to which EPA and other agencies have met their statutory obligations. Please do so in relatively technical terms and avoid the temptation to hyperventilate.
Jan| 6.2.10 @ 9:51PM
I did know about this contingency plan--and Oilbama purposely chose to ignore it.
He deserves to be impeached and imprisoned, along with most of the demonrats in office.
Jeff B| 6.3.10 @ 12:39AM
Sounds like Obama has a "Katrina" type problem -- his reaction. And that explains why he went on attack and so aggressive pointing fingers at others....right after he accused oil executives of coming in front of congress "POINTING FINGERS". Obama is the finger pointer-in-chief.
Daniel Bruski | 6.2.10 @ 7:09PM
I hope, for America's sake, that Barack Obama is charged with a crime, impeached and then resigns. He still hasn't produced his real Birth Certificate. Every other President has produced their real Birth Certificate, so why hasn't Barack Obama? I know why: he is NOT an American citizen! Why else would he refuse to release a simple document?
Another thing is that this man, clearly, is more willing to stand up for Muslims BEFORE he stands up for the American people. He doesn't care about the American people, he cares about those who seek to cause harm to them.
Barack Obama will NEVER be my President. He is a fraud, anti-American, and NOT an American citizen... just think about it...

He obviously has something to hide. Hmmmm.

He's produced what I and most people these days have - a certified copy of his birth certificate. It's been produced for all to see. The original is with the State of Hawaii as they have attested. Really, people, you need to get a grip on reality.
Jan| 6.2.10 @ 10:18PM

There's lots we don't know about the Pretender POTUS.
mongoos| 6.2.10 @ 7:25PM
I was around in the Carter years, and we are seeing a reincarnation of his failed presidency. Obama is weak in the same two areas that Carter always was: foreign, and domestic. But whereas Carter was a true incompetent, Obama is an Alinsky ideologue. Everything he does is "by the book." The Alinsky book. Rules For Radicals. Read it sometime. Chairman Mao would have been proud! Obama will never resign. To get these people out, we must vote them out. And quickly -- while we still have the right to vote.

I’m glad to see so many people have all the moves of King Obama figured out. Given his narcissism and prophecy to double down on stupid, I’m trying to figure out what he would have to gain from resigning? With a nominal 85% of the non white/non Christian vote locked up on his plantation he has 40+ percent of the voting public any time he wants it. Most of this voting block lives in high electoral vote states thus he has a fair chance of reelection even with a minority of the popular vote. He has no concerns for the political entity or vessel he has chosen for his rise to power any more than he has any interests in American traditions and constitutional laws. He is in this for the power and the money that comes from that just as the Clintons were (are). It would take a minor miracle to take one let alone control of both houses of Congress in one election cycle and nothing short of a Presidential veto proof Congress is going to undo any damage already put in place.
Except among the Harvard Stupid Class that pledge undying allegiance to this air head, next year is likely to bring about some more pain for a lot of people and being incompetent is not grounds for impeachment that last time I looked. Come Jan 20, 2013 I expect to see King Obama on that platform in some capacity when the next President is sworn in. If 52.9 percent of the voters of this nation could vote for this arrogant bastard with zero executive experience and his voting record quite possibly the worst of the worst could be elected to the highest office of the land. If King Obama walked away today, he’d be richer than the Clintons and where is the downside in that? Like the majority of Harvard Stupids these days, it is all about the money and growing their 30 pieces of silver on other’s misfortune. A man that surrounds himself with people that see crisis as an opportunity to advance an agenda should be disbarred from government service on that basis alone.
Come the day after the November elections there are going to be a lot of frustrated and disillusioned people, on both sides of the political spectrum. After that and a likely downturn in the economy even more next year combined with just one out of control international incident (of several building) things could move from frustration and disillusionment to something more intense in nature. It took Carter three full years to get a handle on being incompetent and a magnet for international calamities. The King has a big jump on that and Carter was just incompetent not on a mission to destroy this Nation’s prosperity.
So while the Harvard Stupids still celebrate their victory over the gullible and ignorant portion of the voting population in 2008 that takes nothing serious about the political process and the virtue of an informed vote, I hope they have their fire insurance paid in advance. The Galts of this nation are stocking up on firewood and precious metals like lead, brass and tin because they are losing faith in a political process born out of self centered gains, corruption on a grand scale and the next step after that is anarchy in some form at some time. Only Harvard Stupids think they can control the monsters they’ve invented to benefit from and unleashed on this nation. Stupid is as stupid does.

Soros visits the WH frequently and has sworn for years that he would bring America down.
Clinton nee Publius| 6.2.10 @ 7:41PM
The real issue will be this summer. I think Mr. Ferrara's timing is off. There is going to be a war this summer. The Muslims are going to square off against the Israelis in the final version of "Death Match 2010". The reasoning is simple: Hamas has chemical weapons now and Jerusalem can be had by merely hitting it with one or two weapons, forcing a mass exodus of the population. The Syrians and Hezbollah mercenaries in Lebanon will join in the fight and Iran will provide weapons and may fight as well.
Mind you that this is all happening as the world banking crisis continues to unfold - the problem with Greece's fiscal affairs is not at an end; it has already been exported as "Greecian Formula 16 Ebola" - an advanced financial disease that is eroding market confidence in Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ireland. Ireland is the key. If the grounds shake in Ireland, the reverberations will destroy the world economy.
Meanwhile, with funds getting tight and Mr. Obama's anti-Semitic rage reaching epic proportions, the Israelis will find themselves (once again) alone and outnumbered.
Golda Meir once said that Israel had no land to trade for time, so instead of getting pushed into the sea they might as well fight to the death and with every weapon they had. Netanyahu is nobody's fool. He knows that every country hates his country. He knows that he is going to be hated no matter what he does. In the end, there will be nothing left to restrain him from using nuclear weapons to put an end to the problems with Syria and Iran.
When this all comes together and the economy crashes, Mr. Obama will either have to resign or face an armed insurrection. He will have to decide whether it's worth fighting for (and ending democracy in America once and for all) or walking away. Either way, the modern progressive movement will be finished and the Democratic Party will become a ghost; it's members shunned from society and hardcore leftists will face disgrace assassination and imprisonment.
He went too far, blew too hard and now he will have to face the bitter wind he has whipped about his own house.

Alamanach | 6.2.10 @ 7:47PM
Obama never wanted to be president in the first place. Recall that when he first entered the race, everybody knew the election was going to be Hillary vs Giulliani, with Hillary probably winning. Obama hadn't even finished his first term as senator, and also he was black-- obviously there was no way he could possibly win. He ran for the same reason that all the other non-Hillary Democrat candidates ran: to improve his standing within the party. He'd had a great speech at their convention two years ago, now if he had a national campaign under his belt, his future within the party would be bright. That was all he was in for, that was all he was expecting. But once his successes in the primaries started piling up, it was too late to back out.
Obviously, Obama is a man guided by a particular worldview. He thinks most Americans are poor, provincial, and rather stupid. He thinks America itself is something of a global bully, and that the rich always have been rich, and always will be. He believes that Iran, North Korea, China, and so on aren't bad, they're just poor and misunderstood. It is a very leftist viewpoint. Everybody harbors ideas about the world that are at greater or lesser variance with reality, but Obama's problem is that he can't adapt to empirical challenges to his theoretical beliefs. He is a theoretician, and would do well as a college professor. His is not able to set his theory aside when empirical facts defy his understanding of the world, and this makes him a very poor executive. I don't fault him here for his worldview, I fault him for being unable to ignore his own worldview in times of crisis.
Obama surely is intelligent enough to see that his foreign and domestic policies are all failing, and that he doesn't have the right stuff to tackle disasters. If, as president, he had been able to dictate love and peace the way he thought he was going to be able to, he would have been happy to have the job. But that isn't the way the presidency works, and it never was. Too bad for Obama that he didn't understand this long ago when his worldview was forming. It is too late for him to change his theories now. Reality is clobbering Obama at every turn, and he knows it, and he knows he isn't cut out for this kind of thing. If an opportunity presents itself, I too think he will bolt.

"Obama surely is intelligent enough to see that his foreign and domestic policies are all failing"
Lines like this just crack me up. Where is there any reality around this?
When he took over, the US economy was losing 800,000 jobs a month. It is now about breaking even, and the trend is up. What a disaster!
And last month almost all the new jobs came from the private sector, depsite the false stories being spread all over the place.
"He is a theoretician, and would do well as a college professor. His is not able to set his theory aside when empirical facts defy his understanding of the world, and this makes him a very poor executive."
Here's another one.... WOW. Obama has shown himself again and again to be very pragmatic. He basically passed the Republican Health Care plan of 1994. He was opening up offshore drilling more after listening to his colleagues on the floor.
So much delusional nonsense in these posts.
It is incredible.
It is writers like this and many of these commenters that give the other 90% of conservatives a bad name.
Nobama| 6.2.10 @ 10:06PM
Unemployment is at an outrageous 10+% and last month's jobs report included 60,000 part-time census workers.
Nice try but you failed, libtard. Go swill some more Marxist Kool-Aid.
Oilbama's presidency died with the Gulf.
Alamanach | 6.3.10 @ 6:53AM
Bill,
Thanks for responding. If Obama's domestic policies are not a disaster, then why is unemployment continuing to hold steady at just under 10%? That's one of the worst unemployment rates in the western hemisphere. (Never mind Canada; compare us to Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, Belize... We aren't doing well.) Look also at the tremendous opposition to the health care plan-- some 60% of the electorate don't want what he's selling.
As for Obama's pragmatism, I have trouble finding it. He went around to the world's leaders being very deferential and humble, but rather than win us friends, we have a world that is more dangerous than before. North Korea is ready to start a war, and Turkey is antagonizing us on two fronts-- Iran and Israel. If Obama were a pragmatist, he would see that his nice-guy act didn't work, and that a different approach is needed. Making life painful for Turkey would be one possible next step. But so far, Obama hasn't changed his foreign policy posture in that way.
I haven't seen him change his actions on any other issues either, offshore drilling being the one exception. If Obama were a pragmatist, he would have backed off on the health care bill when Scott Brown was elected, if not sooner. But, as a true leftist, he is convinced that if he can just get the omelette cooked, he will escape the consequences of all those broken eggs. It's not working that way; the eggshells of popular opinion keep dropping into the frying pan.

Heil Dick Cheney| 6.2.10 @ 9:06PM
Been rolling around laughing so much couldn't comment until now. Sorry.
Resign? R U kidding? You may be hoping he resigns before his BP criminal investigation exposes the covert, possibly illegal & personally financially beneficial interactions of Dick Cheney & George Bush with their corporate oil buddies....or voter demand for an investigation into Bush/Paulsens 9/30/09 secret & illegal IRS law tampering to give GOP/Bush Wall St Bank buddies a $140 Billion tax break gift on top of $700 Billion TARP.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....55_pf.html
He can't resign, our country needs him to clean up all Bush/GOP netitlements & economy disasters before he leaves office in 2016. He's done a lot already:
-He's steered the economy out of its perilous Bush/GOP economy nosedive
-He's arrested the 700,000 monthly job loss rate he inherited from Bush/GOP in January 2009; Ed rendell just on TV 10 minutes ago talking about 50 k new jobs in PA last month
-He saved GM and the US auto industry - GM just announced 120,000 new jobs...
-Americans are slowly realizing that his HCR bill isn't the devil that GOP propaganda has misled them to believe & support for Repeal is waning along with desire to wait/see on HCR results
-6 of 10 Americans agree with a financial regulation bill to manage Wall St
-He's supported Consumer Credit Protection against predator banks
-The majority of Americans agreed with DADT
-He's reformed college loans, cancelled $60 billion in Bush subsidies to private banks & ploughed the money into lower loan rates & more financial support to get more lpw income kids to universities & community colleges (any smart person knows that a competitive gobal economy needs an educated public)
-He's closing Bush/GOP $15 Billion annual subsidies to HMO's/insurers that lobbyists wrote into Bush/GOP 2003 Medicare Rx Drug Act ($1.5 trillion saved over 10 years)
-He's closing Bush/GOP oil & gas tax loopholes - another $3-4 Billion a year ($30-40 Billion saved over a decade)
-He's going to require publicly traded companies to pay corp rate tax & close offshore tax havens - $100 Billion a year ($1 trillion saved over a decade....anyone realized yet just how GOP/Bush economy stole from taxpayers to give to corporations & the wealthy, & how Bush treated the US treasury like his own pocketbook?)
-He's fighting the war against Al Queda better than Cheney, killed more top Al Queda than he did in 8 years
-He's restored US reputation & relations with the rest of the world & proving his prestige as a global statesman
-Held a historic 47 nation conference in DC re controlling nuclear proliferation - not in decades have so many heads of nations gathered on US soil & co-operated together
-He's forged an alliance with Russia & signed START, finishing the work Ronald Reagen began, but was incapable of completing
-He's doing all that he's doing while carrying $1 trillion of residual Bush/GOP economy costs in every annual budget - this will perpetuate through 2019 ($down to $680 Billion annually by then) http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index......mp;id=3036
-News is even seeping out that "Tea Party anger" is not a grass roots condemnation of President Obama's policies, but a GOP-funded covert mission, mostly funded by RW Koch Industries, another example of GOP-Big Oil collusion & GOP government takeover to serve special interests & screw American taxpayers
No, USA cannot afford to lose President Obama. God sent him to us. GOP has tried every dishonest trick in the book to make him fail, but God ultimately will guide voters to the truth.
As for the Sestak skirmish? It's like Orrin Hatch's hypocritical Valor Act amendment - transparent political grandstanding that will be shot through & ridiculed. Hatch took a strong position against Democrat Blumenthal, who he was going to have thrown into prison!! But history played Gottcha with Hatch - since, Republicans Kirk, Miller, Kinzinger & Devore have been exposed for doing what Hatch condemned - Republicans 4/ Democrats 1!!! Hahaha.
And this exposed on the same day that ex-Florida GOP Chair, Jim Greer was arrested for fraud.
Jim Greer, a Felon - the same guy who advance attacked President Obama's sweet, serious call-to-action video to students to "study hard & stay in school" as "unethical indoctrination of America's children.... communist propaganda"!!!!!
Moral of these stories - Republican attacks on the President and Democrats' propriety are dangerous. Dangerous for the Republican party & tend to end by reflecting badly on them.
We, the American people, will not be bullied and intimidated anymore.

GM is not "saved" you idiot, they and their cousins over at Crying Baby Motors are being subsidized to the tune of 3 billion borrowed dollars a quarter to not go out of busniess out right.

I agree with Dr. Right - Obama is a pathological narcissist and will never resign. I even doubt he will leave the oval office when he is not re elected. And the computers destroyed by Clinton staffers will be nothing compared to the trashing that will happen after Obama's staff gets carried out.

Resignation is not in BHO's vocabulary. Especially since he is overwhelmed by self-righteousness. And there is no chance of any possibility of impeachment unless the Republicans somehow end up with an overwhelming majority in the Senate. We're stuck, for better or worse, until 2012. And if BHO gets re-elected, then we have to hope the Mayans were right...

SoBe Conservative| 6.2.10 @ 9:54PM
He will never resign. It will be interesting to see how far the Republicans get with impeachment proceedings. Maybe Sestak will give sworn testimony (for immunity) that he was offered Secretary of the Navy. Then - hahahaha - 70 % chance of resignation. FOR SURE, he will be primaried by Hillary and either lose there or not run for re-election. We conservatives should cross the aisle and vote for him in the primaries.
Support The Constitution| 6.2.10 @ 10:18PM
Listen up People! Only ONE of you seem to understand the line of succession. First off it is IMMEDIATE not progressive. That is only ONE person moves up. Pelosi only would ACT as VP but never BE VP. The line of succession would require circumstances that prevent EVERY person in front of them from taking office in order for that individual to take the office of PRESIDENT (VP is NAMED by PRESIDENT, remember NIXON's resignation?), and not automatically assumed through succession. This is all in black and white IN the Constitution. Read it for cyin out loud!
Christopher Holland| 6.2.10 @ 10:19PM
Obama is way to gutless and arrogant to resign - his instinct is always to blame somebody else, especially George W Bush. Obama will throw his own mother under a bus to save himself, but himself - never.
Also, I have two horrible words to say about resignation - Joe Biden.

John II| 6.2.10 @ 10:54PM
I think I agree with uncle sam, less the demotic expostulations. Yo Sam: don't let the Obamanation rule your response. There are two basic forms of intellectual bondage, only one of which is slavish adherence to a party line. The other form is obsessive refutation.
Obama will NEVER resign unless absolutely forced to. He knows exactly what he is doing. He KNOWS that his policies are ruinous to the America he despises. And he's going to pursue those policies relentlessly until he's stopped by an election or by a term limit.
Why are conservatives still talking as if Obama is merely mistaken? Is it THAT important not to sound unhinged to . . . whom? Who cares? Who's listening?
So here's the basic lesson, yet again. Obama hates America. A cheap lefty ideologue without any knowledge of or interest in the world, he fervently desires America to be reduced and humiliated in a world crowded with like-minded thugs. He loves Castro. He loves Iran, whatever the weird names of the current rulers of the Persian-Islamic thing. He loves Ortega. He loves Chavez. He loves Kim. He loves any and all international thugs strictly because they share his hatred for America.
He doesn't have the discipline or the interest to take any measure of what any of these thugs are about. He doesn't care about the concrete universe. He cares only about striking a pose to scratch his own ego with a sense of sophomoric superiority.
Is there any way I can make any of this clearer? Do we really have to wait a hundred years for serious historians to tell our great-grandchildren what Obama was about?

Byrnes| 6.3.10 @ 12:37AM
As much as I'd like to see Obama and his minions out as soon as possible, we need to always remember that today's breed of liberals/marxists/communists will go to any length to satify their hunger for power and their allegiance to ideology. I'm convinced that it'll take an election win to get all of them out. These people have absolutely no sense of morality or dignity. Honor and integrity are lost on them. So while the "resignation" of Obama is an exciting idea to think about, it's very unlikely. Expecting liberals/Democrats to put America before political party/ideology is truly futile. Election Day 2008 fully convinced me of that.
Byrnes| 6.3.10 @ 12:49AM
Another thing: I know most conservatives know better, and have known better for a long time, but can the widely-peddled cunard that Obama actually wants what's best for America finally be shattered? The man is a rank ideologue who couldn't despise the United States more. From his birth to present day, he has been stuffed full of marxist philosophy - he's a true believer. Obama does not love the United States. He does not want to see this country prosper and succeed. He, and his groupthink nutjobs in Congress, WANTS to crush America. Again, Obama is not the president in the sense we've been used to. He's actually explicitly working day and night to undermine this country. The problem from the time of his announced running to present day (when more and more are waking up, fortunately) is that many people don't want to believe something this wild, this bad, could happen/is happening. By nature, people don't want to believe unpleasant things. But wakey wakey, it's morning and Obama's lighting this country on fire. On purpose.

I used to wonder how the German people could go along with the likes of Hitler? The reasons the citzens of this country were dupped into voting for O is telling...people want to believe in their leaders words just like the German citizens did embracing Hitler. I, on the other hand, took O at his word, CHANGE. I used to walk around the house after watching him speak saying, "Your not going to CHANGE my country."
My liberal friends baught into his rhetoric, etc. We had many shouting matches and they thought, and probably still think that I am nuts? They are part of the 46% approval. We are in liberal WA state, by the way.
I love this article and pray that O leaves office ASAP.

It's all a wishful thinking. Abu Hussein al-Nairobi (or whatever Kenyan village he was born in) is a revolutionary marxist who intends in 4 years to communiza America. It is all over: after nationalizing health care, automobile industry, banks, mortgage and insurance companies, now comes the cap & trade hoax that will nationalize oil & gas companies, coal mines, electricity companies...etc. He already outlawed all oil exploration, on and off land, and will shortly eliminate all oil companies' tax breaks. Amnesty will bring the welfare rolls now at 47% to over 55%, thus assuring him a permanent majority. It is all over, people - America is dead! The 3 generations of illiterate nincompoops (thanks, teachers unions) will stick with him.

That is the CHANGE I whole heartedly support! What is taking the courts so long to hear those "birther" cases??? Every American has standing because we have been damaged by O.

Joe| 6.3.10 @ 1:51AM
While I sympathize with the wishful thinking of this article, I think Mr. Ferrara overlooks both President Obama's Holier-than-Thou arrogance and the mainstream media's fawning support of same. Obama will not voluntarily resign in any event, just as President Clinton did not have the decency to resign amidst support from liberals (and aquiescence from moderates) in Congress who failed to convict him after impeachment. If Obama is to leave the White House, it will be through losing the 2012 election or - less likely - impeachment following conservatives regaining the majority in both houses of Congress in 2010. In both scenarios it will be over Obama's best efforts to match Clinton's two-term Presidency.

Everything that you said and the guy was involved in a self adopted crusade to throw a coke bottle off of the edge of the earth because it was causing trouble. (OK, kind and humble probably don't fit.)
President Obama has through his words and deeds proven that he's pretty much invvolved in a self adopted crusade to throw a coke bottle off of the edge of the earth, Cap and Tax, VAT, the great health care hijacking and now the oil spill. This guy is the iccon of bungling and ineptitude at every turn.
Jericho| 6.3.10 @ 6:25AM
If this were the US pre-1969, Obama's skeletons from his past and the current scandals would evolve thanks to investigative journalism to the point where he would become like Nixon, forced out.
BUT
This is the new USA post-1969, land of propaganda, partisan divide, celebrity politicians, brain-dead citizens, and a land where if you can raise almost a billion dollars, you can buy the presidency.
Latest Gallup polls show that over 90% of blacks still strongly support Obama along with over 60% of all non-whites. NO Democrat will EVER vote or even suggest to impeach Obama no matter what scandals there are as long as these numbers hold. This means you are stuck with him till at least 2012. Even if by some miracle Republicans took control of both houses, their impeachment proceedings would NOT be supported by Democrats at all (as long as the previously stated poll numbers hold) and the media would turn Obama into a victim of a Republican quest for vengeance making him, brace yourself, MORE LIKELY TO WIN in 2012.
Keep trying though. One thing could change the whole dynamic... an elitist journalist with a spine. It only takes one or two of the left wing commies in the newsrooms, and it MUST be one of them because everyone else will be labeled a right wing racist. It will take an elite journalist with ambition to make a name for themselves and become the next Woodward/Bernstein to bring it all down. Maybe someone will.. hopefully someone will because...
We need serious leadership right now, not some adolescent that is full of himself, that gets away with it because the media worships his ideology.
Every journalist that put this guy in office should be doing some serious soul searching right now. What is more important, advancing your progressive ideology or the fundamental stability and security of the USA?
MichaelAdams| 6.3.10 @ 5:49PM
Even if Republicans take both houses this November, they would not get a two thirds majority in the Senate, which is what it would take to convict. However, there is a Hell of a lot that committees could INVESTIGATE, if they are the majority, and have subpoena power. [ Eric Holder, call your office. ] The libel media would cover up hearings, or allow them to be called witch hunts, but we'd see an awful lot of hearings on C-SPAN. Too many Republicans are boobs, at best, but some are smart and quick, like Cong. Ryan, Cong. Bachman, to give two good examples. They would be quick on their feet, and steer the speechifying of the interrogated back to the question. It could be good, very good. As for these supposed "investigations of Dick Cheney's involvement in the oil spill": He left Halliburton ten years ago, donated his stock to charity. He wouldn't even benefit, at this late date, if the value of a tax deduction were to go up. OTOH, not having floating booms available to contain a spill? tThat could have been corrected in the past eighteen months, if the President had not been willing to let a spill, bound to happen, by the law of averages, sooner or later, run amok and persuade the gullible that, since deep water drilling is so dangerous, shallow water drilling must be stopped. I am a recovering Democrat, for the past ten years, and the backhand shot is all too familiar, for me, and was, even before I knew about Cloward-Piven.

"If he promised us anything, Obama promised us competence. Instead, we've gotten the Keystone Cops"
Now, resignation, No, not ever. The GOAL is the demise of the USA Capitalistic system. Underlying all this seemingly incompetent action is the movement to achieve the GOAL. We, you, I and all of us, will suffer. We have to suffer, otherwise the 100 years of the Leftist angst will never be assuaged. Resign, never happen.
However, Obama is not in charge, the Creator is. Note the evidence. Icelandic volanoes, Ecuador volcanoes, Oil Leaks, Saipan volcanoes, Earthquakes around the PAC Rim. Folks, make no mistake, Obama's lack of even the pretense of a bow to the Creator (National day of prayer 1, he was at home, National Day of Prayer 2, he played golf, Memorial day 2010, he was in Chicago for a fund raiser) , no, he has no place to hide.

There are countless wannabe Woodwards out there on the Net. The tide in that R and D direction has turned. More research, more factual, supportive data, is turning up daily. This Tide of data may well be the equivalent of the Oil Spill on the Net. Conservative Netters today are a far different group than even 2 years ago.

Before you get too enthused over this idea keep in mind that not only will Biden become president, all of Obama's policies and appointments will still be in place to cause havoc for decades to come. There is a better way.
Assuming that Republicans win big in November, armed with subpoena power, they could begin investigations of Obama's eligibility to serve as president. A special prosecutor could be appointed (this would require a new special prosecutor law as the old one has been allowed to expire) to investigate.
As the nation and the world rotate down the drain, such an investigation would be irresistible. Obama could not cooperate with such an investigation leaving himself open to summary judgement by default. His expulsion from office would accomplish what could not be done by his forced resignation over Sestak, et.al. All of Obama's appointments, all of his Executive Orders, all of the laws he signed would then be as unlawful as his own presidency. Then like Akhenaton, he will be expunged from history along with all his acts.

I think an argument could be made that Biden needs to go, too, as well as any Democrat in line to replace him. Howza idee of President Pelosi sit witcha?
(SLAM!) repeated gagging noises , good solid noise of a productive vomit session
Sorry, the idea of Pelosi as POTUS was too much.
It is not just this president, but the entire leadership of the Democratic party that needs to go. Perhaps sufficiently warned by the demise of their sister party, the Republicans will get their heads out of their @$$es and straighten up and provide good government instead of trying to pander to every whiney@$$ cause and demagogue out there.
Parties have disappeared over less. The Democratic party needs to be put down like the flea-bitten dog it is. Perhaps the Tea Parties can coalesce as a more right wing party and then we can have some balance between total conservatism and moderate instead of this BS back and forth between frozen, terrifered moderates and Communists.

We don't need him to resign, or be impeached. Just take away the Democrap's majority in the legislature, and he is a lame duck. Kind of like what happened to Bush the last 2 years of his presidency. Things were going good till he was crippled by a totally Democratic legislature headed by Peolosi and Reid, who had a real dislike of him personally. Bush warned of the Fannie Freddie Meltdown during his first term, and was laughed at by Barney Franks.

If there is to be an Obama resignation (and Peter's made a good case for it), I believe Biden will be moved out of the way beforehand and replaced with someone more palatable to the American public. That would clear the decks for someone who can assume the office, presumably with more credibility and trust.
A.M. Mallett| 6.3.10 @ 1:14PM
Biden is a constitutionally elected officer. There is no moving him out of the way except through impeachment. On what grounds would he be impeached?

A while back hugo chavez was boasting on spanish lanuage television how b.o. is "doing it just like i did". I hope that the "commucrats" don't attempt to pull election shenanigans or the sh*t will hit the proverbial fan. Remember how b.o. said that we needed a civilian "force" just as powerful as the military? What about that? Anybody read "Animal Farm " lately?
Debbie A| 6.3.10 @ 1:00PM
Read carefully bho speech at Carnegie U....A blur of touchy-feely words but tucked in - transparency, hope and change-whether you want it or not, lies, finger pointing, and revelation: America is NOW being held HOSTAGE through Cap and Tax & other reforms with BRIBERY AND EXTORTION the vehicles of CHANGE and our CONGRESS IS ENABLING THE THIEVES. Here's just a sample from bho's speech this week:
"And the time has come to aggressively accelerate that transition. The time has come, once and for all, for this nation to fully embrace a clean energy future. (Applause.) Now, that means continuing our unprecedented effort to make everything from our homes and businesses to our cars and trucks more energy-efficient. It means tapping into our natural gas reserves, and moving ahead with our plan to expand our nation's fleet of nuclear power plants. It means rolling back billions of dollars of tax breaks to oil companies so we can prioritize investments in clean energy research and development. **But the only way the transition to clean energy will ultimately succeed is if the private sector is fully invested in this future -- if capital comes off the sidelines and the ingenuity of our entrepreneurs is unleashed. And the only way to do that is by finally putting a price on carbon pollution.** Meaning: If you don't buy into our plan, we can force you to do it.
And here's another interesting tidbit from earlier in the speech:
"Starting in 2011, we will enact a three-year freeze on all discretionary spending outside of national security -- something that was never enacted in the last administration. We will allow the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans to expire. We've gone through the budget, line by line, and identified more than 120 programs for elimination. We've restored a simple budgeting rule that every family and business understands called pay-as-you-go. And we will charge the largest Wall Street firms a fee to repay the American people for rescuing them during the financial crisis -- a fee that will bring down the deficit by $90 billion -- (applause) -- a fee that will bring down the deficit by $90 billion over the next decade. By the way, that $90 billion represents about one-eighth of the amount these banks will pay out in bonuses over the same time period in time. **Hello? The Fees get passed along to the taxpayer so we end up paying ourselves back and they get more free money but not to worry - that's just a fraction of the bonus money they WILL STILL GET at our expense!
I would encourage EVERYONE to start reading EVERY WORD because it is certain, CONGRESS IS NOT!

Betting on Obie Mao Kanobi to resign is just plain foolishness. Let's stop with this nonsense and work instead to drive Democrats out of office. Obie is with us through 2012 and the only way to effectively stem his disastrous hand starts in November 2010
LeChat| 6.3.10 @ 1:15PM
I don't see him resigning. He's a malignant narcissist. Other people's opinions mean nothing to him. We have to smash the Democrat Party in November so that his power base is destroyed. Then he'll coast to 2012.
ojo grande| 6.3.10 @ 1:51PM
Obama will never give up his throne willingly.
He is capable of going as far as instigating a revolution using Union members, ACORN and other far left groups along with his black supporters to keep himself in power. He needs an excuse to continue on in the presidency and cities being burned...a national upheaval, is as good as any other excuse. I see him wanting more than 8 years to get his socialist agenda through. It takes time to completely destroy a country.
I'm surprised that so many of you think that Hillary is the Democratic future. She may be waiting in the wings, salivating for her turn...but her job as Secretary of State has been a disaster....look at the world now compared to the Bush era. N. Korea's missiles sinking a S. Korean ship, Militant Islamic operatives trying to force their ships through Israel's ban with more to come on that, thousands of Muslims marching in protest in every major city, a complete meltdown with Israel, Iran making not one nuclear bomb, but two. Turkey's Islamic agitators causing problems internationally, Darfur still in dire trouble with no change, etc. etc.
Name me one foreign success that poor Hilary can call her own. Obama has pushed her aside in all important foreign negotiations...maybe she can use that as her excuse for her terrible showing, because she comes off as weak and a failure.

Has anyone given any serious thought to the "mysterious explosion" that took out that Gulf oil rig? I wouldn't be at all surprised if BHO and his left wing nuts weren't behind it to ad fuel to their "green agenda." After all, cap and trade and war on all fossil fuels including oil and coal, were one of the imposter's main campaign topics.
I think there should be a separate investigation into the cause of that explosion. If it was fishy then it's more than sabotage (and treason): it's also murder.

There may or may not be enough upmff in the Sestak allegations, suspicious as they appear and wrought with shady characters but with the whirlwind of chaos circling thei group of Chi-Town thugs you would think something has got to stick, it might be oil, it may be Blago, it could even be the mishandling of another world crisis event.
All of this is in the wind and yet the simplest of all legal requirements is being ignored, the man is uncredentialed by his own doing using legal restraint, in total disregard for Constituional law and the requiored vetting of a man who wants to be President. I maintain that since he has never fulfilled these simple requirements and has been besieged by the general public to do so, he is not a legal president and should not be considered to be so. His own party of Deemers have failed the vetting process, the MSM has done the same and he refuses to have his credentials openly examained, why? If his presidential opponent was made to openly allow examination then why has not this unqualified political anomaly we Americans are supposed to recognize?
Resign, you bet he should, he should never have been allowed to pull off the restraining of his legal credentials to begin with and this makes it cut and dried....put up or shut up.

A very interesting and thought provoking article; unfortunately Boob-ama will never resign. He will have to be evicted from the White House either by election loss in 2012 or by impeachment--but there won't be enough votes for that in the House unless the Sestak or another juicy scandal gains momentum and starts to roll. Unfortunately, the liberal press that kept Watergate alive until it caught fire won't be matched in this day and age. The very last to turn against the emperor will be those who are still swooning about him. Perhaps your vision is more far-reaching than mine is; which I wouldn't argue and hope is true, but I don't see the resignation happening--period. We can always hope though right? Hope and change? Yes, we can!!!! HAHAHAHA

3. joe biden would mis speak his butt off that he'll make the democrat party look like a joke. it will be funny as hell.
4. joe biden cant lie correctly. chances are we can impeach him too for his billion dollar ponzi scheme that he's involved in anyway that nobody's talking about on the left.

He is proving himself every day as evil as he is ineligible, and that's plenty of both. Not all Americans realize it yet, but we are in a fight for our lives, politically and literally.

That being said, I do not think Obama will resign although I wish it were so. He is too proud, arrogant, and ambitious. After all, he's not done stealing all that we have. He is going to have to be impeached and dragged out of the White House.
Isn't it smelling really fishy when he says he's against drilling, then he's for it, then the next day the Oil rig explosion and now he's using it as a plug for cap and tax? Smells to high heaven if you ask me! Hmmm................just follow the dots. Its called common sense!

Let Obama serve all four, while the whole nation knows him and his party to be the monsters that they are. Perhaps then, the Democrats would be properly chastised.

If the phenomenon of buyer's remorse is unfamiliar to you, rest assured that it is not to the millions of independents who will not be voting for Barry twice.

As for Harry Reid and your present majorities in the House and the Senate, you just keep on counting those chickens before they hatch. That's working out so well for you guys, why stop now?
2012? I haven't given it a moment's thought. 2010 comes first, and to rein in your manchild leader, the 112th Congress will need to be more than his rubber stamp or Nancy's plaything.

Like almost all of us who worked hard for his election, I'm delighted with the Obama administration and the change from the Bush/Cheney debacle. We finally have the beginnings of real health care reform, which we've needed since Teddy Roosevelt led the charge for it a 100 years ago; we have finally begun to reregulate the financial industry to end the excesses that have wrecked havoc with our economy; internationally, we have restored some modicum of respect and admiration for our country abroad after our honor was besmirched by Bush and Cheney's shameful behavior. I could go on, but I won't. None of the people on this site who lament Obama's election voted for him. Those of us who did are indeed pleased and proud.
JIM BERTOTHY| 6.4.10 @ 3:00AM

On the eve of the 08' insurrection, (I mean election), I predicted, to hard core conservative friend in Michigan, that there would be a military coup sometime in President Hussein O-Nero's third year in office. I predict it will be carried out by the U.S. Marines. The only branch of the military not fully tainted and compromised by the subversive left. The other "Branches" are run by political hacks and gutless yes men and women.

I've said since Dec 2008 when Hillary took SecState. He told her will not run in 2012 and will step aside for another "first"----a woman President.
Too much money in post prez to risk running again and possibly lose.
He'll go in and pretend he is running, take everyone's money and not give it back (Kerry lost and had 25 million left over and kept it).
If you ask for it back, you are a racist. Why put up with the qwap of being prez when you can act like one, get Secret Service protection for life, still be called Mr. President and just socialize the rest of your life?
He's not that smart, but he is shrewd and calculating.
The press will do their job of touting how "unselfish" he is to step aside and then blame republicans for his shortcomings.

Wishful Thinking.
Presidents don't resign anymore.
Nixon was an Honorable man and did the classy thing and resigned to save the republic.
Meanwhile, Reagan and Bush Senior committed bigger crimes against the nation than Nixon ever did. Both were ass-deep in Iran-Contra but skated.
Clinton was an adulterer who poked an intern with a cigar in the Oval Office and then lied under oath about it. He took his chances with Impeachment proceedings rather than doing the classy thing and resigning office.
Bush Junior's crimes are too numerous to mention, but include starting an illegal war and violating the Constitution. He retired happily after two terms.
Obama isn't even an American citizen, does nothing as President to uphold the Oath of Office. He's got the Job, and he won't quit. Why should he, the people love him.
Once someone becomes President these days, he could go outside the Whitehouse and rape Children in fromt of millions of witnesses in Time Square, and remain President until the next election.
There's only one way nowadays that a President would leave office before their term expires, and that is not resignation.

Not to be self-serving, but Obama presidency was predictable. Wrote and had own web site during campaign that he would be incapable of serving the people of this country.
He was with out essential leadership experience required to make him a capable President. Coutl write more. However, suffice to say his lack of solid credentials, Marxit tendencies, over the top liberal recored while in Congress, and associations with radical and shady characters, alone were quite evident.
Since, assuming the Presidential mantle, never before under any previous Presidents have there been so many screw ups, little if any transparency, current ethical scandals, and now the largest environmental disaster in the history of our country. Calls for this resignation should become a standard banner assumed by every politician in tis country and this cannot be too soon. I dread to think about a serious terrorist attack and surely a near total lack of prepared and adquate response to same.

Le 25:13 In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.
14 And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
15 According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:
16 According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.
17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.
There is quite a bit more pertaining to this so it will take some searching.

If we have to obey the law or face the penalties, then Obama and team have to also face the law and its penalties. Two cases of bribery relating to job offers made to stop running for office are the cases in point! Not to mention un-Constitutional actions such as mandatory health care purchases, etc! To make matters worse Mr. Obama and team have turned their backs on a large nation of people who have done absolutely NOTHING at all but try and defend their very existence - namely Israel! Cold hatred spews forth from Obama and team along with Muslim hate and socialistic neo-Marxist hate toward Jewish people who have done nothing to deserve such hate. Muslims kill, create persecution, hate, intolerance, you name it around the world, yet the socialist and neo-Marxist Democrats will say absolutely nothing about it at all, but yet, they condemn Israel. Israel has owned a lot more of that area in theMiddle East they now live in for over 3000 years and it was stolen by Muslim hoards many years ago. Now, the small area which they live in is against trying to be stolen from them by Muslims! The real occupiers are the Muslim Arabas in Palestine, Gaza and the West BAnk! Those occupiers yelling all the time about having the entire area as their own, stealing it from Israel as usual are being supported in their criminality by Obama and others like him! He has left the Nation of America on this issue. We support Israel our democratic ally and not the Muslim dictators and killers who oppose everything that America and the free world has ever stood for!! Turkey hasn't progressed in Democracy and freedom at all, they are under Islamic Muslim rule for all practical purposes!
It is time the "free" people of the world which by the way is grower smaller every day because of stupid things like Obama's policies are followed, to stand up and demand the criminal world dictators and religious fanatics stop their killing, persecutions, and opposition of freedom. Today, more Christians have been killed in the last fifty years by Muslim and Communist dictatorial minded people in many lands than in their entire history of existence!! Yes, just in the last fifty years! This isn't progress - this is an outright decadent falling back into insanity! Where are decent, sound of mind people? Has everyone lost their minds? How can you hold Israel to a higher standard as a nation than all others? If a flotilla came to the U.S. Shores like that I can assure you we would do the same thing!! If it took place in Cuba Castro would do more than Israel ever thought of doing. Yet, we condemn Israel? Yes, just for defending their territory and making sure weapons of destruction was not on the ship. Those rogues on the ship beat, knocked a soldier of Israel overboard and then they had to defend their own group and some were killed attacking Israeli soldiers. This blockade has been gonig on for years to protect Israel from terrorism. ARE YOU FOR terroristic acts against Israel? You are if you support the groups involved in this flotilla deal! They are provoking Israel, not Israel provoking them! The occupiers of Gaza don't even want those guns coming into the area. Duh! You have to be up to something else on this thing if you support Israels enemies and I know what that is, you are a Jew hater because you hate people that are decent and successful. That is it period! You hate Christians also I am sure! You can't stand people who try to do right! You run with those who kill, persecute, promote violence, promote hate! Yes, I know you, you Jew hater!

Am new to this site, so perhaps this has been addressed previously? I recently came upon a little book of our Declaration of Independance & Constitution and read it. In: Article II. Section 4: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment fro, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. Funk & Wagnalls Dictionary: Treason: Betrayal or breach of allegiance or of obedience toward ones sovereign or government. Bribe: Any gift or emolument used corruptly to influence a person. Being this has all occurred by who was voted our President, 'why' has this not been followed up on?
VivaLaMigra | 6.5.10 @ 11:04AM
There's one reason the impeachment process hasn't worked as envisioned by the Founders: political corruption! The Founders thought that members of the House and Senate would be men of honor who put integrity before political expediency. Yes, there would be political parties but members wouldn't hesitate to indict [ie. impeach] and convict one of their own. Sadly, partisanship has overtaken patriotism in modern politics.

I regret to say this, but you people are scary. You talk like a closed circle of SERIOUSLY deranged, neo-fascist lunatics. Are these posts the intellectual detritus that washes up from the sick and twisted waters of economic libertarianism ?
I have never read such OBSCENE hypocrisy. It is RELENTLESS. There are here NO negatives about Reagan, the Bushes, Cheney, et al. Just non-stop "demoncrat-bashing". Your single-minded embrace of corporate America, the rich, the powerful, the polluters and the "let them eat cake" royalists, mark the lot of you as a gaggle of Randistas. Foaming at your e-mail mouths, shrieking Cato Institute cliches, and Austrian economics platitudinous nonsense, you blithely ignore ongoing environmental disasters, economic inequality and brazen corporate thuggery. You exhort your fellow brainwashees, you bellow your opinions to your glassy-eyed groupy herd of greed, racism, hatred and inequality. What a shrill reactionary choir. When I read this collection of posts, I am reminded of Huey Long's prophetic words: that if Fascism comes to this country it won't march in with Jackboots on; rather it will be wrapped in the Red White and Blue. Listen clowns, when you fling verbal snot-balls at your opponents, you are NOT making a convincing argument to any intelligent, fair-minded person. Rather, you are revealing to the persuadable listener that you are interested in indulging in hot-headed, juvenile behavior. A group of spoiled rich frat boys who worked on the college paper and have discovered a 10th grader's level of shrill political invective. Just WHO are the new target persuadable people that this kind of groupie trash talk will persuade ? Just calling Obama, Pelosi, etc. names is once again, NOT an argument. Wake up, wise up and grow up.
Sincerely,
JR - a proud progressive.
CJM| 6.5.10 @ 5:22AM
It appears that you are a follower of Obama, and that's okay if you truly believe in Obama's ideaologies. However, MANY who are disgusted with Obama's plans to "change" America have also (as you call it) 'bashed' the Republican side of the fence as much as they have Obama and his cronies. I think that your hysteria has gotten out of hand on your posting---take a deep breath, calm down, and write something other than a tirade against those who disagree with you. Granted there are some who are not so nice, but you really need to consider the source. Personally, I do not like Obama and turned against him when, in January 2008, during an interview in San Francisco, HE said he wanted to "dismantle the Constitution." Now, JR, as a proud progressive, are you still willing to back a person who wants to destroy this country?

CJM| 6.5.10 @ 5:11AM
Obama will not resign, his well-ingrained narcissism will not allow him to do so. He needs to be impeached and then arrested for the scandalous bribraies he has proffered. Sestax is not the only bribe offerred; there is yet another that has come to light. One wonders if there are more. Unfortunately, if he does resign, Joe Biden will become the President and promptly pardon Obama in the same manner that Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon.
As for the oil spill, that is BP's problem; Obama's problem in this horrid situation is his FAILURE TO ACT--which can be construed as dereliction of duty. Obama has done nothing to help America, but has done so much to hurt this Nation.
If it could be proven that Obama is a non-citizen who attained the Presidency illegally, then all those 'bills' he signed into law are null and void--Congress will have to take every issue back to the drawing board so a new, bonafide President can make them into laws.
Obama is a dangerous man...he has all the makings of wanting to be the last elected President of the United States and the First Dictator. I hope he is ousted from office soon.

Nothing will happen to Obama. No one with the power to do anything has the will do anything. He will eventually appoint perhaps one or two more to the US Sup Court and then we will be entombed in the concrete of socialism forever. Americans have become sheeple and thus are incapbable of forming the rational thought necessary to defend themselves from the predatory nature of socialism and communism. We have forgotten the "trinity" of American Government: E pluribus unum, Liberty and In God We Trust. Americans are far too divided to become a force strong enough to defeat Obama, Americans care not a whit for "Liberty" perferring to keep their heads in the sand and Americans have been secularized to the point where they neither recognize nor trust in God. Perhaps we are getting are just desserts...we have abandoned God and now He is allowing us to suffer the consequences.

The assumption that Obama will need the nation to prosper in order to protect the 2010 mid-term election incorrectly assumes that he esteems free market capitalism. He does not. Rather than win through superior ideas and policies, the Democrat plan for success in the mid-term elections is to win by destroying political opposition.
Obama adheres to the Saul Alinksy Rules for Radicals method of politics, which teaches the dark art of destroying political adversaries. However, that text reveals only one front in the radical left's war against America. The Cloward/Piven Strategy is another method employed by the radical Left to create and manage crisis. This strategy explains Rahm Emanuel's ominous statement, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."
The Cloward/Piven Strategy is named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. Their goal is to overthrow capitalism by overwhelming the government bureaucracy with entitlement demands. The created crisis provides the impetus to bring about radical political change.
Jasonn| 6.7.10 @ 1:18PM
I believe the resignation scenario is wishful thinking, but I'll wish along with the rest of you. Can't see it happening before the 2010 elections though, in which case Nancy's seat at the table will probably have been changed. That takes her elevation to VP out of the equation.
RobDiego| 6.7.10 @ 1:30PM
I've been a Right winger my entire life, but I called a spade a spade in the G W Bush administration, just as I will call a spade a spade in the current administration. Most of you on the right didn't hoot and holler like this when Bush took this country to a totally illegal and personally motivated war. Don't get mad at me..... due a little due diligence and google Mickey Herskowitz and the book he was writing for G W. Then read the book, "The Price of Loyalty", written by Ron Suskind, along with, yes, staunch Republican, Paul O'Neil (heavily recruited by Dickless Cheney to be our Treasury Secretary). You will see that the war was 100% fabricated for personal gain and "legacy" purposes, and had absolutely nothing to do with Daddy or oil, or WMD's or anything else that he decided to use as a reason to go after Iraq. Then Bush had 8 Attorney Generals fired in various states, and had over 5 million emails miraculously disappear. I could go on and on about why that administration should have been taken to the Haque and tried for war crimes, but I didn't hear many of my fellow Republicans being honest with themselves. Now, if Obama has indeed broken the law, impeach him as well. But don't be so pious about your past. Bush first!!! Please read the articles regarding Mickey Herskowitz!!!!! Everyone should know why Bush took this country to an illegal war and how much damage he did to our country, and over 50,000 families, not to mention, millions of Iraqis.

Your right, he is never going to resign. Why? Because he doesn't have to. Because, we , as American citizens won't take a stand and do anything. We all just sit back and gripe about it. Why is it taking so long for him to be impeached? This is rediculous. If we sit around and wait for him to resign, then it will never happen!!!!

Our country needs change, I agree with President Obama, but it needs to happen with both parties doing something about it! Finger pointing just makes us resent each other, it just makes every politician watch his back, just so he won't have to.retract his statement later because some opposing party member decided to use his shortcomings for political gain. Let's fix our country. Let's fix it together. If the federalists and anti-federalists could set aside their differences, why can't democrats and republicans?

We may take solace in the knowledge that while Joe Biden is perhaps the stupidest person we ever called a "senator," he does not hate America and will be but a lame duck seat warmer until President Palin takes over.

Sigh..."I didn't leave the Republican Party, the Republican Party left me." That's how Regan would say it today given the sad shape of the GOP. The GOP can't put a sensible candidate on the ballot because they don't have a sensible base (as exemplified herein). The moderates in the GOP are missing a golden opportunity by being apathetic. As long as the neo-con's are leading, the GOP's only hope is to continue to sink the country with their obstructionist tricks while trying to blame the Democrats.

Not sure what to say. Resignation is a bit much. No president wants to resign. It will take an impeachment to make him resign and then we need 60 senators to vote him out of office to make the threat good. A lot of things will have to go bad for Obama.

Mr. President:
You could best Help America by—RESIGNING. Your failed economic policies have made Americans afraid to invest and reluctant to spend money on goods and services, causing more Americans to lose jobs.
You have forced on Americans unaffordable health insurance in the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression, new taxes and regulatory costs on U.S. businesses that will inhibit investment and hiring of new employees for years. Are you trying to destroy the U.S. economy? Many Americans believe that because you spent much of your life with communists and socialists that you don’t represent any country, but intend to force Socialism/Marxism on the United States, even at the costs of destroying the U.S. economy and problematically the Constitution. In most every country that Socialists/Communists have come to power, by being elected or seizing government, they have constructed unaffordable public welfare programs at the expense of taxpayers to ensure they have a constituency to keep them in power. Is it just coincidence that after you spend America into bankruptcy that millions of disparate Americans might accept, even welcome the Marxist/Socialist government your lifelong associates have advocated? That is not an amusing thought, historically Marxist governments have made communism work at the onset by eliminating civilian populations considered not important until the population is reduced to a level the communist government can support; and by canalizing assets they confiscated from imprisoned and terminated Citizens.

Impeachment is not the answer. And we won't see progress on this until a new congress is seated in January. If the Republicans control the House, there will be investigations. What should happen is that Republicans land on the issue of Natural Born Citizenship, because Obummer is NOT Natural Born. Under long-standing tradition from European royalty, understood and adopted by the framers of the Constitution, a child takes his primary citizenship from his FATHER. To be a NBC in the US, he must have two citizen parents. There's no way on earth that Barack Sr. ever even had pretentions or intentions toward US citizenshiip. Ergo, it matters not where Junior was born, he may or may not be a "native" citizen, but on the face of it, he is NOT a Natural Born Citizen. Therefore, he must be legally removed from office.
And because he was never eligible to run in the first place, his "presidency" is illegal, and every act he has taken is null and void--as are his appointments.
Biden may or may not be complicit in this fraud, but Nancy Piglosi certainly is. Therefore, she too must be removed and prosecuted (unless, please God!, she loses to John Dennis in November---send money to John if you can).
According to the law of presidential succession, the next in line is Pres. Pro Tem of the Senate. We don't have one right now, because that office was held by the late Robert Byrd who just died. After that is Secty of State followed by other members of the Cabinet---all of whom, from Hillary down, are Obummer's appointments. If his acts are illegal, so are his appointments.
So the way I see it, if he is removed for ineligibility soon after next January, either Biden succeeds or the office falls to whoever succeeds to Robert Byrd's position as Pres. Pro Tem of the Senate, as that is the ONLY office left untainted by Obummer's ineligibility.
So watch whom you vote for in November! The survival of our nation depends on it.

If James Clarville says it is ok to peel off,then the end for Obama is beginning. However,all the above comments are speculation.After November,then we will see the the Dems come appart .Only then can conservatives begin to unravel the horrific mess the Obama adm caused.I truly believe are next President is living in New Jersey,ie.,Gov.Chris Christie! This man needs our support and encouragement.He is not looking for higher office.This man is a true conservative and he scares liberals. Pray for our country.

Barack Obama will NEVER resign willingly. We are dealing with a narcissitic personality who who believes in his own greatness and infallibility. He believes he was raised up for such a time as this and will not relinquish his power willingly. He knows his time is short, possibly one term, and is going to enact all the marxist policies he can for her knows they will most likely not be reversed in future congresses.

My wife thinks b. hussain o. is a sociopath who will not go out into the night willingly. She says he has bought into his own lies and believes he has a destiny to fulfill. I on the other hand think he is a punk ass s*^tbird who will quit and blame everybody else. He has money, prestige, a secret service entourage, people who will still fawn over him, and he will live in Chicago as a hero to all the wack-a-doos who live in the neighborhood. Only time will tell who is right.

Obama will be impeached, but not for citizenship issues. He has committed many crimes against the Constitution and the conservatives in Congress know it. In November we will have a conservative House. The House will impeach Barack Obama and Joseph Biden, leaving the Speaker of the House (who will be a Republican if not a conservative) as acting President while the impeachment investigation and the subsequent impeachment trial take place.
The House will also investigate members of Obama's cabal who are members of the House and the Senate. The investigation and exposure of cabal Senators should cause a turnover in the Senate making it a Republican majority Senate (assuming it isn't a Republican majority after November). After that it's all downhill.
And yes, the House will impeach. They impeached Clinton for relatively minor crimes, so predicting that they will go after Obama who has committed much greater crimes is a no-brainer. If they don't, America as we know it is over. The November elections are an all-or-nothing fight for America's freedom.

finally someone is saying the obvious. nixon in 73-74 never would have been impeached if the media refused to report on it however.

My Fellow Impartial Americans
Our Congress has appropriated billions to the offshore bank accounts of leaders of 3rd world nations like Zardari whom have 20 million displaced people and of whose nation have recieved $54Billion in aid from the world bank,the IMF and indeed from congress.
Rather than going to the Congressional Oversight Committee and explain where the money was appropriated the Democrats and others in Congress has become complicit to the considered failings of modern American Governance.
You want an educated society and workforce yet have graduates with 3-500000 debt with not jobs in the economy.
A new Consumer standards agency with no oversight or impartiality to work out whether American consumers and citizens would be worse off under the new proposals to force people to take loans they don't require as they would become economically disadvantaged.
An administration that may lose Congress in the 2010 elections and with very little business done in congress thereafter.
I envisage that by 2012 or 2016 the citizens could elect the United States first independent President.
Lack of inaugural confidence in the wider economy.
With no new enterprise or new industries and investment equibility the Democrats would not even be able to fulfil their election pledges.
Most States running budgetary deficit.
Lack of Investment to modernise and structural failings of economic policy making and governance.
I think it is a matter of credibility as well as of authenticity.
The majority of the public service is heavily subsidised and the economy needs infrastructure modernisation as well as investment.
For the members of Congress why were budgetary appropriations made that was ending into the offshore bank accounts of foreign corrupt Governments?
Isn't it time there were standards of inaugural oversight?
How about a bit of integrity and being technocratic versed before the American people?

One can only dream! I have to thank Mr. Obama for showing me the light...he converted me from Democrat to Republican!!
Joe Radmacher| 9.5.10 @ 8:03AM
What a bunch of dreamers, do you really expect Obama to repair all the damage Bush did to this nation in his eight year tenure? Every negative scenario put forward sounds like something that would come out of Palin's mouth.
We really need the Republicans back in power so they can finish ruining The United States like they did when they were in power last decade. Most of you just don't like the fact that Obama was elected in the first place and you will never give him a break no matter how well he performs.
Obama took over this country when it was in the worse shape in history. The fact that he got the financial wheels turning again is proof of his competency but most of you are rednecks and would just as soon be negative because that is what the Republican Party is, a negative, spiteful, mean spirited group of people who have no business running this country. Obama is not perfect and he has made some rooky mistakes but compared to what the Republicans accomplished during their rein he is doing great!
Mary Gee| 8.21.11 @ 2:24PM
OMG: you are ignorant thinking that blaming Mr. Bush and/or the Republicans, after three years of this commie/liar illegal being in office is heard any more by people....think before you speak....three years....

Oil Spill Eater II
Testing of OSE II by Dr. Tsao of British Petroleum
BioChem Strike Team Leader
Regarding the Effectiveness of OSE II Remediating Oil from Deepwater Horizon, Blow Out, Gulf of Mexico
British Petroleum tested Oil Spill Eater II at Louisiana State University. Relevant sections of BP’s BCST (Bio Chem Strike Team) test results are posted.
British Petroleum formed the Bio Chem Strike Team (BCST). Under the direction of Dr. Tsao, BCST was established in response to the Deepwater Horizon incident by the Alternative Response Technology (ART) program. The BCST consisted of experts from BP, LSU, LDEQ (Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality), USCG (U.S. Coast Guard), OSPR (California), SCAT, and highly experienced oil spill response consultants. Furthermore, BCST operated in conjunction EPA and NOAA.
The tests were conducted with Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometry EPA test procedures. PAH and Alkane degradation was quantified.
OSE II showed a great ability to remediate PAH’s, and Alkanes. By the conclusion of the testing time frame, OSE II remediated 80% of both components of the oil. Based on total concentration levels of the PAH’s OSE II actually remediated 200 %of the PAH’s or 162% of the total of both oil fractions.
released by BP which ended up in Bay Jimmy, Louisiana.
This test by a major oil company is the second major testing of OSE II on two of the largest spills on water in the history of Earth caused by Man. Exxon tested OSE II in 1989 and discovered OSE II was the most effective product on Alaskan Crude oil from the Valdez spill.
BP has now successfully tested OSE II on their spill in the Gulf of Mexico which is over 600,000,000 gallons of oil spilled.
Dr. Tsao wrote “After nearly one year since the Deepwater Horizon spill, residual weathered oil remains in many locations. The need for a field trial to establish operational criteria for final bioremediation work plans should be initiated before early Spring 2011.”
The OSEI Corporation after over 16,000 spill clean ups in the past 21½ years, stated the logistics in regard to the successful application of OSE II were worked out some time ago.
The remediation of the PAH’s also verifies that OSE II is an effective first response bioremediation product, and has benefits:
) causes the oil to float which limits the negative toxic impact to the water column or ocean floor of the oil and dispersant
) reduction of the adhesion properties so the oil cannot stick to birds, grass, rock or sand on shorelines
) elimination of fire hazard
) proven non-toxic by the numerous toxicity tests, you can safely wash your hands with it, the TV news program in which Retired Rear Admiral Lively drank some of it
) OSE II causes the oil to float, because of the method in which it goes to work on the oil, it is still very difficult to see
) defined end point of turning the oil into water and CO2
OSE II is the best and only needed oil spill response that will, even at this late date, remediate oil and dispersant currently in the Gulf.

I become more furious everytime I hear about this imposter. He is out to dystroy our beloved country. That being said, the VP only becomes president until an election can be arranged. The consitution is clear on this.

It is now Tuesday, September 13Th 2011, and still no sign of the shyster Obama resigning.
However that is hardly surprising, because neither he, nor his amazonian wife have a sense of shame; both of them just have a sense of entitlement.
They are welfare recipients on a grand scale.

This just might help, but then who would run. If you do your research you will find that Obama was elected as to the President of the United States Corporation - it is not just Obama we need to get rid of we the people need to get rid of the United States Corporation, the federal reserve, and many of these other institutions that have been part of the United States Corporation, and get back to basics of the orginal constitution and the bill of rights. The present United States Corporation has made slaves and surfs of all us, do your personal research and learn, prove me wrong, and do not be too shock if you find out that I am correct.

The Coming Resignation of Barack Obama
3,931 people recommend this.
How about getting 200,000,000 voters to recommend this?

How I wish you were right in this prediction!
Unfortunately, his offenses have accelerated....he now believes he IS the king - and has ruled by Executive Order (as I had predicted)...Multiple blatant Constitutional violations - and NOT ONE MEMBER OF CONGRESS has tried to stop him!
xoxolawyer| 5.6.12 @ 1:48AM
This was a very prescient article by a true scholar with impeccable credentials. And yet he was totally wrong and my man Obama is cruising to re-election. Why? Because most right-thinking Americans disagree with you wackos and want him to be our president. 2012! Four more years! 2012!

He's not stupid.
He's just Shiva the Destroyer for 2012 America.
