Have you noticed something lately? People close to this administration are turning on it. Something is definitely happening here. The most recent example was Leon Panetta who absolutely ripped Obama with regard to his decision to leave no troops in Iraq. We have now reached the point where the stench of incompetence and defeat is overpowering. The following quote from John Kennedy is appropriate:
“Victory has a thousand fathers, But defeat is an orphan.”
Not defeat in just one area, defeat in every possible way on every possible issue. They have run out of lies or at least out of believable lies. For example once again the unemployment rate dropped miraculously below 6% just before the election. But this time the media just yawned, probably because we have more people not working than at any time in the last 36 years.
Few, liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, believe this President any more. There is a residual group of Kool-Aid drinking habitually uninformed Democratic voters still on board, but not enough. The latest Fox News poll shows devastating changes in key demographics:
Obama is losing ground among women, blacks and Hispanics. Just a few years ago many conservatives thought that Republicans would never win another national election because of changing demographics. That was based on the assumption that Democrats would continue to automatically get a majority of women, an overwhelming majority of blacks and a huge majority of Hispanics. Thanks to this administration, Democrats have lost significant support in each of these groups.
If this poll is accurate we are going to see a 2014 wave election of tsunami proportions. When you add in Democratic apathy and Republican enthusiasm it gets even worse. Now we have an Ebola epidemic and few trust this administration to handle this crisis. If you can’t remember to lock the front door to the White House it is hard to have faith in your ability to protect anyone.
Only one person could make this worse for Democrats and that is President Barack Obama. He said that even though he is not on the ballot, this election is all about him. That sound you heard was Democrats running tough re-election fights throwing up all over the country.
Piers Morgan who is wrong about most things may be right in saying that when Obama threw the intelligence community under the bus he reached a tipping point. He now has as many enemies within his administration as he has on the outside. We may see an avalanche of people in the know dumping on Obama. They are not just deserting the ship. They are shooting at it on the way out.
