The Obama slide….

Like all fads, his run is about over. Michael Jackson is the popular guy now (he can’t do anything to sabotage his own fame now) . Obama was last summer’s fad. It’s time for a new fad now, which means Obama will start to be judged on his merits. Unfortunately for him and America, those are few and far between.

And the only people who swoon over him are the Arabs of Ramallah, who imagine he will put enough pressure on the Israelis to cause them to evacuate Judea, Samaria, Golan and even eastern Jerusalem in terror over the thunder from the godhead in the White House.

(Dream on, Fatah. There are more than a half-million Israelis already resident in Judea, Samaria, and eastern Jerusalem. Their numbers will be augmented each year,irrespective of this particular turkey in the White House. You are destined at best to be Arab suburbs of the great Jewish cities of Israel. That’s if you behave. If not, the concrete barriers will stay up. And if you misbehave in spades, like your cousins in Gaza, you will get the same treatment they got recently, Barack Hussein Obama notwithstanding.)

There is a strong potential that Obama may in fact end up driving a wedge between white and black America because black America is not able to see criticism of his policies as anything other than racist, and by extension a direct attack on them personally. There is a less strong potential that white America will see the black response as stupid, racist, and reinforcement of a stereotype. {I think less strong because there is a well established precedence in the black Americans as a whole committment to the Democratic party that nets them little or nothing.}

This will lower his popularity with his own base, but will mollify some on the other side. Those who can be mollified, that is.

Probably the best thing that could happen to Obama in terms of his popularity is for his major initiatives to fail.

But its considerably worse than that, because he’s down -7 in the “strongly” category. That means people would pay money, organize voters, etc, to see him kicked out of office. These numbers are big trouble for an incumbent.

And it’s going to get worse. There’s still a good chunk of campaign lies that haven’t been demonstrated as such yet. When people start actually seeing his policies destroying their health care and the economy in general, he might end up in the 20s.

I’ve said all this for years, by the way.

As for whether his character is really one of constant deception and gross incompetence that all the smart people are finally starting to see through: we’ll see.

Since when does that – really – have squat to do with his approval rating ? His approval rating, including the 54% or so that got him elected, was based on the mainstream media narrative and Obama’s own misleading nonsense that he would be moderate and a centrist. He is enacting the plan he and the left have been drooling over for decades. People that were paying attention knew this was coming. Perhaps the biggest lie of all was told during one of the debates when asked what part of his agenda would be set aside because of the economic crisis. Obama never really gave an answer but insinuated that, indeed, some things would have to wait – OR in actuality, instead of reducing the agenda, the economic crisis would be great OPPORTUNITY to triple the agenda and try and ramrod through every POS legislation possible.

The real story here is that people are actually catching on to the plan – massive government expansion and ridiculous deficit spending that will ultimately require the inevitable tax increases on FAR more of Americans than just those making more than $250K. Which is to say nothing of the similar effects of inflation due to Cap and Trade, Health Care Reform, and the gargantuan deficit. Well, IF the first two actually get passed, which seems about 50-50 right now.

Well, I, for one, won’t be blaming it on “Obama: the Black man” although I will put a good deal of the blame on “Citizen: I voted for the black man because it made me feel good about myself.” Or “Citizen: I voted for Hope and Change because I think that’s a real political agenda.” Or “Citizen: I voted for the anyone but Bush party” etc…
