The risks to the country of Obama dropping too fast in the polls

There is an old folk saying about the dangers of a trapped rat. The Obama administration is losing favor so rapidly that soon it may only have the support of part of the Bloods and the Crips. Congress is setting new records for unfavorable ratings and for the first time since polls have been conducted a majority not only favors voting out other people’s congress critters but also their own.

Sixty-three percent (63%) of all voters nationally now think it would be better for the country if most incumbents in Congress were defeated this November. Just 27% of voters say their representative in Congress is the best possible person for the job.


People lose their inhibitions when they have nothing to lose. If memory serves me right, Solzhenitsyn wrote that he never felt free in the Soviet Union until he was imprisoned in the Gulag. When a man has nothing more to lose, what can he be deprived of?

The risk America runs is that the Left become convinced that it will be voted out in November. Not maybe, but definitely. They are currently in charge of all branches of the government. There is a possibility that they become so convinced of their loss in the upcoming election they will “go berserk” legislatively.

Or “burn the Reichstag” to reverse their fortunes. Obama has hinted at it, Bill Clinton has amplified it, and FBI Director Mueller confirms it.

Be careful out there.
