The Lame Duck

Actually, a “Lame-Duck President” is a President who either has just lost a bid for re-election or is ineligible for re-election.

But Obama’s recent congressional election losses, coupled with political failures abroad have led some people to begin thinking of him as being a one-term “Lame Duck”.

So do I.

Of course that could just be wishful thinking.

Quotes and Sayings

About the Region, Islam and cultural totalitarianism...

    You know, I have repeatedly defended President Bush against the left on Iraq, even though I think he should have waited until the U.N. inspections were over. I don’t believe he went in there for oil. We didn’t go in there for imperialist or financial reasons. We went in there because he bought the Wolfowitz-Cheney analysis that the Iraqis would be better off, we could shake up the authoritarian Arab regimes in the Middle East, and our leverage to make peace between the Palestinians and Israelis would be increased.

    — Bill Clinton, Interview with Time Magazine, June 2004
