In the book of Daniel, the story of told of King Belshazzar and the writing on the wall.\u00a0 The King was having a gay ole time, drinking wine with his Lords when suddenly a hand appeared and started writing on the wall.\u00a0 The words were:<\/p>\n

\u05de\u05e0\u05d0, \u05de\u05e0\u05d0, \u05ea\u05e7\u05dc, \u05d5\u05e4\u05e8\u05e1\u05d9\u05df<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ok, perhaps you prefer the version in the King James Bible:<\/p>\n

Mene mene tekel upharsin<\/i><\/p>\n

When I was a child, I could never remember these words, so we changed them to read:\u00a0\u201cMeanie, meanie he tickled the parson.\u201d<\/i> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Neither version made much sense to me at the time.\u00a0 They also didn\u2019t make much sense to King Belshazzar.\u00a0 He freaked out.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t know what the words meant, but he knew it was bad. \u00a0So he gathered all of his senior advisors and offered a huge bonus to anyone who could interpret the words for him.\u00a0 Finally, in an act of desperation, he called upon Daniel to see if he could make sense of it.<\/p>\n

Daniel told the king that the words meant that the king had been weighed and found wanting and that he was about to lose his kingdom. \u00a0If you want to read the actual story, check out Daniel, Chapter 5.<\/p>\n

I believe the writing is on the wall for the Obama administration.\u00a0 He has been weighed and found wanting by just about everyone.\u00a0 Conservatives are furious because of his drive toward socialism, his weak foreign policy and his willingness to ignore the constitution.\u00a0 Liberals are furious because he botched ObamaCare, he botched his foreign policy and he didn\u2019t totally ignore the constitution.\u00a0 They are both united in the opinion that Obama is a disaster as a president.<\/p>\n

ObamaCare is officially dead and buried.\u00a0 The main stream media is still looking for some sign of life, but there is zero chance this will survive.\u00a0 The final blow was when the new and improved website failed.\u00a0 Jay Carney was at his press conference trying to put a positive spin on this.\u00a0 He says things are much better because now, instead of the website crashing, visitors just get a queuing message saying telling them they could check back later. \u00a0This is so bad that we need a new stronger word to replace pathetic.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2013\/12\/02\/carney_vs_ed_henry_on_obamacare_website_youre_confusing_error_messages_with_queuing_messages.html<\/a><\/p>\n

ED HENRY: It sounds like you did not meet the deadline, the more I listen to your answers, because Ezekiel Emanuel said yesterday the website is working well and you say it is vastly improved. There has been significant progress. Not necessarily that it is working well and effectively for the vast majority of users, as you acknowledged with Jim and John and others. People are still getting the same error messages they got a couple days ago.<\/i><\/p>\n

JAY CARNEY: I think you’re confusing error messages with the queuing message, which is quite a different thing entirely. They queuing messages are a specific tool that was created and upgraded to be more sophisticated, so that when there were surges in traffic on the website. When the number of users reached a certain level, people would get those messages that they were placed in a queue. If they wanted to enroll, there was a better time for them to come back.<\/p>\n

HENRY: They are still not enrolling. They are in a different line now, but \u2013<\/p>\n

CARNEY: I contest that. I would ask you to find anywhere where I said that everybody would be able to enroll instantly on this day.<\/p>\n

HENRY: The goal is obviously to enroll more people, right? If they are still waiting<\/i> \u2013\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obama was an obvious failure from day one, but the main stream media refused to cover the story.\u00a0 I am certain that a lot of senior Democrats knew this from the start too, but those who dared hint at a problem were humiliated.\u00a0 Remember when Bill Clinton referred to the Obama candidacy as a joke?\u00a0 The main stream media turned on him in a furious rage.\u00a0 How dare anyone hint that Obama might not be up to the job?\u00a0 Nothing scares a liberal Democrat more than being accused of being a racist.<\/p>\n

None of the Obama narrative stood up to scrutiny, but there was no scrutiny.\u00a0 The failure of the ObamaCare website changed everything.\u00a0 This was the writing on the wall for this administration, because the failure became impossible to ignore.\u00a0 I sometimes wonder if liberals realize that God also understands modern technology.<\/p>\n
