Dana Milbank comments on Obama’s June thus far:
It has been a Junius Horribilis for President Obama.
Job growth has stalled, the Democrats have been humiliated in Wisconsin, the attorney general is facing a contempt-of-Congress citation, talks with Pakistan have broken down, Bill Clinton is contradicting Obama, Mitt Romney is outraising him, Democrats and Republicans alike are complaining about a “cascade” of national-security leaks from his administration, and he is now on record as saying that the “private sector is doing fine.”
Not good for only half a month. What else might go wrong?
In my lifetime, even Lyndon Johnson did not have such a month and he was smart enough to read the tea leaves and decline to run for re-election. President Narcissus is not so intelligent.
As a result, this November is likely to represent a tidal wave of defeats for Dems. The Democrat Party, if not destroyed, will be damaged and weakened for years to come. An economic collapse (highly likely) under Romney may be their only salvation.

IF, and I say IF, Romney is smart, he will have a VERY frank “discussion” with the American people in the first month he takes over.
Something to the effect: “I stand before you as president of the USA, a nation facing a crisis the likes of which it has never before seen. Using actuarial accounting figures, we can see the US is in actuality, $150+ TRILLION in debt. That is a number of crisis proportions, and one that single president can fix. This comes from years of reckless government spending and largess. Today, we will start to reverse the trend, but these will be rough years for all as we all experience shared sacrifice. We have already spent the fortune of the next two generations of Americans. All we can hope for now is a controlled crash landing. Our alternative is an uncontrolled crash that may lead to open civil war”.
That should read one that NO single president can fix.
I don’t disagree with Syrin’s comment, BUT, Romney will just sound like Obama, except this time instead of actually agreeing and covering for the president in support of Obama’s excuses and lies, the media will be unmerciful and scorn the truth.
Additionally, (assuming we don’t collapse before election time) the totally ignorant morons, AKA American voters, will remember that things weren’t as bad under Obama as the economy collapses under the rich white republican. Remember how the media managed to crucify Bush while the economy was infinitely better than it is now. 4.8% unemployment was “bad”, now that’s forgotten.
Certainly President Romney should have an honest and frank discussion with the American people, if for no other reason than that those who can can better prepare. At some point in the future, after much destruction, the morons may remember who was frank with them, but it will take massive efforts by the alternative media to educate the dolts.
