Obama Descending Fast

There are two great commandments for those of us in politics.  When you don't know what to do, do nothing.  When you are in trouble, lay low.  We are now privileged to witness Rule #2.  Whence Obama?  The most visible President in history has disappeared.  Up until the election, Barack Obama was everywhere.  He campaigned non-stop for his first four years.  Name a function, there he was, pontificating to beat the band.   Now...not so much.  In fact, he has fallen off the face of the earth.  Where is he?  Well....he is off hiding as his insulated world begins to fall around him.

 And for good cause.  The Obamacare debacle is picking up steam as America slowly wakes up to the reality he has foisted upon us.  When Max Baucus, the author in chief of Obamacare says it is going to be a train wreck as he retires from office at the end of this year...run for cover.   When Harry Reid says it's going to be a train wreck because not enough money to implement properly, run for cover.  When Barack Obama says there will be glitches and bumps in the road, run for cover.  That's politic speech for train wreck.

Even more ominous is the pending Benghazi revelations.  The big lie is about to popped.  The new investigation based on the heretofore blocked testimony of those who were on the scene has, according to CBS, can "bring down the Obama administration."  The testimony will show willful negligence at best, or intentional and deliberate decision making based on political expediency resulting in the deaths of four Americans, including the United States ambassador to Libya.  Then came the cover up with Obama's political operatives deliberately changing the talking points originally issued by the CIA in order to protect the political narrative. 

The media is beginning to pick up the story.  What was originally only reported on Fox News is now being examined in a major way by CBS which is being surprisingly aggressive.  Sooner or later the role of the press in the cover up will be exposed, and hopefully the likes of Candy Crowley who openly gave Obama cover in the debates will be brought to task.

Obama's appearances have been few and far between.  He gave a "love government" speech at Ohio State's graduation.  He gave a lame press conference which was embarrassing.  He gave a speech to Planned Parenthood...his core constituency.  It's clear he doesn't know what to do.  He is in trouble.  He knows it.  He is laying low.

Obama's biggest asset was the American public trust.  Now he has Benghazi.  He has the Boston bombing which shows the total ineptitude of his Department of Homeland Security (except if it is buying bulletts), and problems within the CIA and FBI chilled by a President who values political correctness over good results.  Lost in the discussion of the Boston bombings was the re-raising of barriers between the CIA and FBI at Obama's impetus.  That is a story that has yet to be told.

This is what we know.  The Dems will one by one start to run for cover as we approach the 2014 midterm election.  Then there are the folks who want Hillary to be the next President and will run from Obama like a rabbit from headlights in an effort to put distance between her and the President.  Then there is Joe Biden who has lots of friends in the Senate.  He wants to be President too, and under the current circumstances would have difficulty getting nominated let alone get elected.  Lord knows what he is doing behind the scenes.

 I have written before that the President that most resembles Barack Obama is not Jimmy Carter, who was at least an honest man, but Richard Nixon.  Dare I hope a similar outcome?
