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...

    I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running from the wounded. I have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. I have seen two hundred limping exhausted men come out of line-the survivors of a regiment of one thousand that went forward forty-eight hours before. I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. I hate war.

    — Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Address at Chautauqua, New York; August 14, 1936
