Why Obama is Failing

Healthcare is on the ropes, cap-and-trade is doomed from day one, the recession isn’t going away, TARP didn’t work, no decisions on Afghanastan for three months, and the polls continue to drop.


Obama cut his teeth and grew up on politics Chicago style — threats, intimidation, power brokering, thuggery. These all work well in the microcosm that is Chicago. But Chicago is not the USA.

Obama is slowly discovering that he cannot intimidate Democrat congress folk like they did renegade aldermen in Chi Town.


Because these Dems want to get re-elected. Many are from red states and would lose too many votes if they supported ObamaCare. Many are from coal or oil states and would lose too many votes if they voted for cap-and-trade.

Their worries are not in Washington where Obama reigns, they are back home where the voter rules.

Is this a bad thing?

No, it’s a good thing because nothing is getting done. It’s when politicians are getting things done that you have to worry.

Eventually, the economy will sort itself out despite the machinations of Washington. More and more people will become aware that climate change a) is not man made and b) that man can’t do anything to change it. In the mean time, we won’t pass any foolish legislation that will cost the taxpayer and increase the governments grip on us.

So, it’s time to celebrate, kinda, well, maybe in a year or so.
