The national nightmare that has been Obama was brought into sharper contrast last weekend for me as I read stories about the 40th anniversary of Watergate.

In governing style, not necessarily substance, there are certainly parallels between Obama and Nixon.

In can be argued that both men derived their aggressiveness from feelings of inadequacy they endured as children. Both brought these feelings of adequacy in the form of personal demons into the White House; demons that gave them plastic personalities that never really took shape. Both let their demons dictate how they governed- rudderless, compass-less but always needy- to the great detriment of the nation.

Both men only had to face those demons to achieve great things.

In this, both men failed.

To some extent Nixon and Obama were trapped by impulses beyond their control- or it least by impulses they wished not to control.




Watergate at 40: Obama is the Democrats (http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/johnransom/2012/06/11/watergate_at_40_obama_is_the_democrats_nixon)

Nixon got re-elected - in one of the most lopsided landslides in American history.

Now, he is similar in at least one respect - spitefulness. Obama is all goodness and cheer until you provoke or oppose him or in any way thwart him. He's thin-skinned.

I half expect to hear "you won't have Barack to kick around anymore" come November.

I suspect we are going to hear about the racists that voted against him only because he was black, michelle will denounce the country and claim that she no longer has pride in it.

We can tell her the feeling is mutual, we no longer (if we ever did) have pride in her.

Well I'm all for seeing Obama Impeached!!! :coffee:

It's not enough if he's incompetent. That's what elections are for.
