Democrats Displeased with Obama


 There is growing discontent on Capitol Hill these days with the occupant in the White House. Oh, sure, it's no surprise that the Republicans have a problem with President Obama, and his overall approval rating with the public is at a paltry 44%. But it's the Democrats...yes, members of his own party that are turning away from the president. Read More: Defiance Among The Dems

 The could lead to some problems for the president as he prepares to go to battle with the Republicans over the budget. Mr. Obama is already laying the groundwork, traveling the country blaming the GOP for all the country's ills, but that's old news. What's new is that some Democrats, especially those up for reelection next year, may
not ballyhoo the president's high spending program. Americans are fed with a Obama's money machine that has our national debt approaching $17 trillion dollars. (Click the link.)

Those facing the voters in 2014 also talking less and less about how great Obamacare is, despite voting for the bill. As time has gone on Obamacare has proven not to be the panacea the president and his party touted in the beginning and those up for reelection are trying to ignore the issue in their campaigns. Opponents will surely keep it on the front burner.

Democrats, along with the rest of us, also have issues with Obama's leadership abilities. They seem non-existent...a president in over his head surrounded by amateurish subordinates. Beset by scandals
from the Fast & Furious gun running debacle and the IRS targeting of conservative groups to four dead Americans in the Benghazi, Libya terrorist attack, just to name a few, this White House is a listing ship with an incompetent captain. 

Democrats, and republicans as well, are not happy with the president's handling of the Syrian crisis, feeling that Russian strongman Vladimir Putin put on over on us in wrangling a chemical weapons deal with Syria which made the U.S. look weak and ineffective in the eyes of the world.

 Here at home, the economy is still pretty much in the tank with the false unemployment rate at about 7.3% and the real rate at 11%.
All in all, not much for the Dems to hang their hats on. And why should they? Obama is a lame duck president. He also is old news. Democrats are looking ahead to...............Hillary Clinton!!!
