Our president is quite the angry man these days.
Perhaps his heart is two sizes too small, or maybe he just hates the residents of Who-ville (and “bitter Americans clinging to guns and religion” here in America.) Perhaps being forced by public opinion to retain the “religious” aspect of White House Christmas decorations has placed our man in Washington in a foul mood.
Perhaps, it is the fact that he is now the most unpopular president ever recorded this early into a first term.
Perhaps it’s because his “stimulus bill” that in his mind has been so successful it calls for a sequel, has seen 49 out of 50 states continue to lose jobs in the 9 months since it was enacted.
Maybe it was the new Battleground Poll released December 16 that found that the number of respondents choosing to self-identify as “very or somewhat conservative” has reached 63% while the number of those self-identifying as “very or somewhat liberal” represent 33% with the all-important moderates registering at a whopping 1%. You’ll note, of course, that the all-important and clearly unbiased media continue to advise the GOP to abandon their 63% in favor of the massive 1% middle as the only hope for future electoral success under the guise of a “big tent.” The remaining 3% in the survey are so well-informed that they couldn’t even decide what their ideology is.
Even his formerly close personal friend, Communist Dictator Hugo Chavez, said that the “one we’ve been waiting for” smells like sulfur after all. And to think, it was only a few months back that these two political soul mates were high-fiving, hugging and exchanging gifts at a “Bash America Now” convention where Obama graciously thanked various rogues for at least not holding him personally responsible for the evils of America before he became president.
Whatever the reason, the former harbinger of “hope and change” has turned into quite the candidate for anger management. It began in earnest with Mr. Obama’s “both sides now” speech on the Afghanistan War. At the speech, Mr. Obama looked incredibly ill-at-ease while announcing his plan to both start a surge and retreat (an homage to his Illinois senate days where he cast countless “present” votes.) Unlike the smooth TelePrompter reader and brave ACORN trainer of the old days, this president was clearly annoyed. (To be fair, he could have been annoyed at the large number of cadets that were captured on national television dozing off during his speech.) His trademark charm was replaced with a scowl and furrowed brow. His jubilant rhetoric of self-adoration was replaced by an angry condescending know-it-all kind of vibe.
Surely someone in the White House could tell him that Americans don’t generally like know-it-alls. We usually beat them up and take their lunch money.
The same has been true with health care. As if filled to the brim with seething rage over the prospect that anyone would dare question him, Mr. Obama’s speeches and promotion of the only reform standing between us and widespread death and disease have been low on the inspiration and heavy on the condemning fear-mongering. Rational debate, nay even reading of the bill, are off limits, and the president is left with thinly veiled threats to congressmen like the one directed to Democratic Congressman Peter DeFazio, in which the Commander-in-Chief warned his “brother” that he was “keeping score” and not-so-subtle threats to every day Americans, doctors, and insurance companies for being “selfish” or “greedy.” (A favorite tactic of the temperamental toddler.)
The president, who fancies himself a solid B+ or A- in the presidency thus far, was supposed to be loved and adored in Copenhagen, ground zero for the new communist movement known as “the green movement.” (Do a quick google search on Gorbachev and “green movement” for more on that one.) Global warming propagandists and frauds from all over the world have converged on Copenhagen to promote a new Communist global initiative that will further crush America’s economy. Of course, who cares about putting food on the table when you have carbon footprints to consider? Raising our utility bills in some cases by 100-200% is the least we could do when we can barely pay our bills as it is.
So in the completely snow-covered global warming convention, Mr. Obama was supposed to be a rock star. President Bush, we were told, had so damaged our nation’s prestige in the world (particularly on the environment) that only a political deity like Obama could dig us out of this negative avalanche.
Yet, the great hope of Saul Alinsky has fallen flat on his face. It seems the world is souring on President Obama nearly as quickly as America is. The U.K.’s Guardian reports that Obama “looked visibly frustrated as he appeared before world leaders.” Fringe gaggle of environmental freaks known as “Friends of Earth” claimed that Mr. Obama had “disappointed the whole world.” Another observer remarked candidly that perhaps “Copenhagen isn’t Mr. Obama’s city” after his other failed visit here in an attempt to score an Olympic hosting job for Chicago. Then of course there was the fore-mentioned attack by his pal Chavez and an accompanying one from Castro.
Perhaps the “citizen of the world” returning to America with his tail between his legs, can muster the strength to put aside his “hurt feelings” that people have rejected his supreme deity over mankind long enough to handle the little incident in Iraq, where peace-loving Iran has capturing an Iraqi oil field (no doubt simply for peaceful energy production similar to their nuclear program that Mr. Obama fails to see a problem with.) Probably not. It will simply be noted in a future speech as another positive contribution to America by Muslims.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Just earlier this year the conventional wisdom was that Obama’s mug would be on Mount Rushmore by now, and elections would be abolished in order to establish lifelong tenure as President, while simultaneously starting up his campaign for world potentate.
Something else has happened entirely. It appears that Mr. Obama and his gaggle of left-wing extremists have awakened a sleeping giant. The media is completely aghast at the simpletons in this country that just don’t understand what a gift we have in the White House (despite his daily attempts to tell us.)
As our president licks his wounds and begins repeating personal positive affirmations to himself in the mirror, it has to sting just a bit how much love and adoration greeted his nemesis, NY Times Bestselling author (4 weeks and counting at #1--a record for a politician) Sarah Palin, as thousands upon thousands turned up in locations across the nation and braved the elements and the lines for a glimpse at the “arctic fox.”
And this is just the beginning for President Obama. It looks like 2010 will make 2009’s “winter of his discontent” look like the good-old days.
By contrast, 2010 is looking like a great year for America (and Sarah Palin!)

Another crappy one sided article by the examiner.
spot on ...really fantastic article! well worth the read...
Liberals suck
there was only one thing that could have damaged America's image overseas (at least in the eyes of this European living in Australia) more than Bush-isms and Schwarzenegger (I mean get REAL?!)and that was when the whole nation seemed to fall for this tokenistic mythological would-be-utopian fairy prince like Cinderella for Charming. Nice to see she's waking up to his human side, even if it IS after the wedding. Good luck.
All commies suck.
Perhaps you're an IDIOT. Obama continues to be popular. Not his fault he was stuck with Bush's trash.
Obama is usually smiling, but doesn't have that -----eating grin that you're sporting.
Great article
Ummm, don't look now but Obama actually got an agreement...Cute picture though.
Ummmm, don't look now but that pic is the exact look he gave to Al Queda in Yemen just today. Perfect timing!
the article is silly. Obama is not "an angry man". In fact right now he is no doubt pleased with the deal he managed to salvage out of a bad situation.
Wow man, give the guy a chance. Clearly you have an agenda. Good luck with Palin!
LOL, i love that people like you talk all kinds of crap about the President. I don't see you running, or conservatioves even giving constructive ideas. Everything is "No, no, no, no..."
Your just another dittohead looking for someone to blame during the recession. This was brought about by 8 years a slack jawed yokel-ism in the persona of George Bush. The economy has gotten a little better, and unemployment is sliding back a bit...but don't give credit where its due, You silly hack.
What reality-altering conservative drug is this guy on???
great article. very truthful. why can't our president act like one.
It's a wonderful thing watching the Dem's self-destruct in front of our eyes. November 2010 BABY! ADIOS!
"Perhaps his heart is two sizes too small,"
No, the problem is that his ego is two sizes too large.
Obama is down to 42% postive in the polls and the Kool Aid Kids prattle on about his "popularity". Then there's the "He inherited it from Bush" crowd and resort to the usual brainless ad hominem attacks. Bush and his corporate buddies were a major screwup but Obama and his Left Wing radicals are a catastrophe. Everything they have done have only aggravated Bush's errors.
The nation is split 50/50, mostly along urban/rural lines, much as it was in 1776 between Hamilton and Burr (look how that turned out). The truth though is that slowly America will join civilization that northern Europe has leap frogged us too.
:
The president was a positive in Coppenhagen much as he has been a positive in Washington. The econony is getting better with the dollar reclaiming it's naturaql strength. The deficit is actually shrinking. Al Quaeda is being hunted into dis-array not just in Iraq but Pakistan, Yemen and dare I say Somalia. And much as the conservatives may hate it we are admired again by the French, in Canada. And with McCain too old, Pawlenty too quiet and Huckabee tagged with Willie Horton the best the GOP has for 2012 is Sarah Palin.
:
Take solace that every time there is a tea party Obama's numbers go up
:
Finally, the mis-leading picture used in this article reveals the GOP's greatest flaw: They are filled with hate, it is their only motivation.

He is a Usurper, not a President! Just because he got in there through major cheating doesn't make it legit!

Tank - you are soooo clueless
Liars are common but this article will not change a single mind. It will though fortify the hatred of Republicans and increase the resolve of Democrats: 50/50.

Tank, I don't know where you get your info from but you should go back and read it again. Also, Republicans don't hate Democrats, they're Americans too. It's what makes America as great as it is. If you are so proud of Northern Europe, feel free to go there and spout off all you want to.
They don't speak English in Northern Europe. Besides I don't like soccer, I'm a baseball guy. Which fact don't you like, that Obama had a success in Coppenhagen or that John Adams of urban Boston was just as much a patriot as Thomas Jefferson of rural Virginia? But history will record/has recorded Abe Lincoln greater than the both of them combined. Did you wear your Abraham Lincoln pin at the last Tea Party?
By the way how do you like my English?
Where did you see Obama had a success in Copenhagen? I've been on every news front and all I saw was the majority of the world power were short of a walk out. Lincoln was a great man, so were many others in the White house, but not all of them.
Well we seem to agree on Reagan, not all rise to the standard. And which did you like most about Lincoln when he instituted the first income tax or when he told Texas they could not secede from the union? That sure is a loving picture of the president...Is that one of your better shots?
Oh, yeah Coppenhagen: Look up nytimes dot com.
Lincoln had to come up with funds for the war from somewhere and I can't think of a better use for taxes than to fund abolishment of slavery. No man should be forced into things he does not believe in, including socialized medicine or global responsibility to everyone else.
You paint history as you paint faces all in hopes of a world of "every man for himself". The world you strive for is not of slavery which you now claim was the force behind America's bloodiest war. The world you strive for is in Mexico our most hidden war. Next you'll be telling me that your best friend is Black.
That was kinda rude, I am black so I guess I'm done talking to you.
