In a somewhat random bit of reporting, think about
this 1st Quarter report; it is a near total disaster.
Obama is defeated in the Senate (today) with his attack
against oil subsidies. Not even his Democrat buds wanted this thing.
Yesterday morning, he lost a House vote on his budget
proposal, 414 - Zero. Remember last year? He lost a Senate budget
vote 97 to Zero on that occasion. How does a sitting president score a
"zero" with members of his own party. Surely, they know
how this must look.
He was reversed in his effort to cancel all or most coal
mining contracts, in a decision known as Mingo Logan versus the EPA and
the reversal was at the hands of one of his own appointees.Understand that
on January 22, 2007 – After completing an environmental
statement, the Army Corps gave Mingo Logan a permit under section 404 of
the Clean Water Act allowing the company to discharge fill material into nearby
streams. Four years later, almost to the day, (January
13, 2011) the EPA
revokes the permit which was “unprecedented in the history of the
Clean Water Act.” Coal companies were furious. Of course,
Mingo Logan filed suit, seeking a summary judgment, claiming that
the EPA had exceeded CWA § 404(c) authority. The court's decision
saved 250 jobs and millions of dollars already spent on the project.
His legal defense of ObamaCare at the Supreme Court stunk up
the place. Absolutely no one from the Left thinks the performance was
anything but a "train wreck."
Monday, he was caught on camera playing patty-cake with the
Russian president, Medvedev and bragging about being "more flexible"
after the election. Of course, that has become a major campaign clip and the
fire storm that has followed, is still blazing.
Last week he pretended that he was pro-Keystone and was
laughed out of town in a visit to Oklahoma.
Last Friday, he stuck his foot in his mouth with
regard to the Trayvon Martin shooting and did nothing to claim things down or
help, in any way.
His Chevy Volt has suspended production due to lack of
sales.
Chrysler sold out to Fiat, in a loss to the American
taxpayer of 1.5 billion dollars.
The jobs report he made, a week ago, last Thursday,
arguing for the lowest first time claims averages since 2008
was proven to be untrue this Thursday; the Department of Labor missing
the total number of first time claimants by 16,000 people, the largest
forced adjustment in a decade.
Gas continues to climb in price and he has no clue how to
deal with that issue. When he took office, the price per gallon was
$1.84. Today, it is $3.91 and rising.
In January, the High Court voted against his effort at
forcing religious institutions into hiring non-believers. That decision
was 9 - 0. His own appointees voting against the law. (Hosanna/Tabor
Lutheran Church v the EEOC)
In February, he lost the Shackett v the EPA as
that regulatory agency claimed to be above the law in terms of any review of
its decisions against property owners.
That High Court decision was, also, unanimous,
with all Court justices voting against Obama.
And to think, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
