Guardian: Reports the following on the Obama blues, " Long-time Washington observers have been shocked at how rapidly it seems that Obama's second term appears to have come off the rails. ".
Lets Get Real:
It is simple folks, the Republicans on the Hill have never had time for Obama, while Obama has used Democrats on the Hill as cannon fodder, he has not real interest in their political outlook and it shows, thus we are heading in to the 2014 season, the Republicans can fight for their Conservative base, while Democrats have to tell voters that Obama is no Democratic Richard Nixon, thus do not expect Democratic candidates for the House to have POTUS with them when they campaign, the same goes for the Senate. Lets look at two Presidents who got in to trouble in their 2nd terms, Ronald Reagan with Iran - Contra and Bill Clinton and his affair, President Reagan was beloved by the American people, but even his polls took a tumble when the scandal broke, like President Obama the Reagan Administration stalled for the first few months, then President Reagan said sorry, the shine had gone off the Reagan Presidency but the Gipper still had enough to have a successful 2nd term on the whole, on the domestic and international front, also Reagan's VP, Bush 41 was elected President, it was seen as Reagan's third term. In the last Gallup poll of his Presidency Reagan had 63% approval rating. Thus we come to Bill Clinton, his scandal broke in January and he stalled for eight months, and lied to wife, the Cabinet and the Country, he only came clean in September, but it worked, while he was Impeached he was not thrown out of office, on the other hand Vice - President Gore did not win in 2000 ( lets not get in to Court Battles ) one of the reasons was that during the Campaign Gore could not use Clinton, the scandal was seen as to fresh, thus Clinton did not get third term, also this was a problem for Hillary Clinton in 2008, people were worried what the Old Big Dog would get up to again if let lose in the White House. It should be noted in the last Gallup Poll, Clinton had a 66% approval rating, but his VP had not won. This folks lets see how the scandals develop and which have legs, D.C and Scandals, fun folk if your a political geek.
