San Fran Nan Pelosi is torqued off at Baghdad Bob Gibbs, White House Press Secretary for daring to speak the truth:  The Democrats could lose control of the House of Representatives in November.   But wait, there’s more!

Much to the Liberals’ chagrin,  Democratic control of the Senate may also become a fond memory.   While President Barack Hussein Obama’s (mm mmm mmmm) approval ratings continue to tank, and now hover at dangerously close to 40 per cent according an ABC-Washington Post poll published on Tuesday, the future of his former colleagues in the Senate is in even worse shape.

Within the last week, polls have shown Republican challengers taking the lead over Democratic incumbents, such as Barbara Boxer in California and Russ Feingold in Wisconsin.  In fact, pundits are now prognosticating that the Republicans could win the Senate seats formerly held by both President Obama in Illinois, and Joe Biden, vice-president, in Delaware.

Also possibly added to the Trophy Wall for the Republicans is Harry Reid, the Senate Democratic majority leader, in Nevada, whose seat may be won by  Sharron Angle, Tea Party supporter.   So, it now looks like the republicans have a legitimate shot at controlling both houses of Congress. What’s even sweeter is the fact, that, due to the American public’s awakening as to the true nature of President Obama, he is a liability on the campaign trail, not an asset. 

So, to break it down for those of y’all in Ripley, Mississippi:  There ain’t squat Scooter can do about it!

Bill Galston, a former Clinton official,  has been saying for months the Democrats could lose the House.  His opinion?

If you ask me where the silver lining is for President Obama, I have to say I cannot see one.  Just as BP’s failure to cap the well has been so damaging, Obama’s failure to cap unemployment will be his undoing. There is nothing he can do to affect the jobless rate before November.

Obama’s ship of state has hit an iceberg. 

Stanley Greenberg,  liberal pollster and close friend of Rahm “Rahmbo” Emanuel, Obama’s chief of staff, a majority of US citizens see Mr Obama as “too liberal”.   Greenberg runs Democracy Corps, which per their website is:

…an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to making the government of the United States more responsive to the American people.  The organization was born out of outrage over the impeachment of President Bill Clinton when the leadership in Congress preferred radical partisanship to addressing the issues which really matter to American families.

The secret is out.   55 per cent of citizens think Mr Obama is a “socialist” as opposed to only 39 per cent who refuse to believe the truth. The same poll shows 48 per cent support for Republicans against just 42 per cent for Democrats.  The numbers are reminiscent to 2006, except that it was George W. Bush and the Republicans who were on the receiving end four years ago.

Rob Shapiro, former Clinton official and Obama supporter, opines:

The bottom line here is that Americans don’t believe in President Obama’s leadership.  He has to find some way between now and November of demonstrating that he is a leader who can command confidence and, short of a 9/11 event or an Oklahoma City bombing, I can’t think of how he could do that.

What are Scooter’s supporters telling him behind closed doors?

 According to one, who wishes to remain anonymous, the US public’s loss of confidence in Mr Obama’s leadership is a factor above and beyond their dissatisfaction over the state of the real economy, which continues to slow as last year’s $787bn stimulus starts to run dry.  He admitted that the public did not know what Mr Obama really believed.   Examples include his lukewarm support last year for a public option in the healthcare bill and his equally lukewarm support today for a Senate bill that would extend unemployment insurance and aid state governments to keep teachers in their jobs. 

In other words, this numskull whines that Obama is not Liberal enough!  Spare me.

In both cases, Scooter has offered only token, negotiable, support.

Per this disillusioned sycophant:

I never thought I would say this, but even I’m unsure what President Obama really believes.  Instead of outsourcing decisions to Congress, he should spell out his bottom line. That is what leaders are for.

Yeah!  What happened to the unicorns we were promised?

Next week, Scooter is supposed to double down and sign an unwanted Wall Street re-regulation bill into law, just like he did with Obamacare. Even though polls show the American public opposes these socialist laws.

Per Obama’s heart-broken fan:

The longer this goes on, the more it looks like Obama wasted his first year on healthcare. It’s still the economy, stupid.

Well, Duuuuuh.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 50% of voters now view President Obama’s handling of the economy as poor. This is the president’s highest negative rating in this area since he took office in January 2009.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for today shows that 24% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Scooter a Presidential Approval Index rating of -18.

Finally,a Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey reports that 44% of Likely Voters would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate, while 38% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent. 

I hope you Democratic congresscritters and senators have some actual real-world skills you can fall back on after you’re booted out in November.

Welcome to “fun”employment!
