The a-maz-in' an-ti-gra-vi-tee prez!

All hail! The amazing anti-gravity president is here. A lesser man would have sunk out of sight in the polls with all the negatives that have accumulated.

Besides high employment figures (actually higher because of people no longer looking for work); the vastly unsuccessful "stimulus," a sop to Democratic constituents; and the so-called Affordable Care Act--little more than another entitlement that will add financial and record-keeping burdens on health care providers-- a fiscal cliff looms.

We have enormous increases in taxes on all and an unsustainable debt and an ideologically driven emphasis on green energy. There is the crushing of the coal industry, blocking of the Keystone pipeline, numerous directives from the EPA destroying countless jobs, and money going to Brazil to help its oil industry.

Then there is the wildfire spreading in the Middle East, a result of this president's foreign policy of "accommodation," which amounts to projecting weakness rather than strength. Other notable items are the "bumps in the road" comment on the deaths of our ambassador and his associates, and refusal to meet with our only ally in the Middle East, Israel.

Obama has fostered dependency expanding his voting base. Seemingly every move he makes is aimed at re-election (enlarging Medicaid and food-stamp rolls and forgiving college debts).

He continues to be buoyed by compliant media and by a successful campaign of keeping Mitt Romney on the defensive. That explain the amazing anti-gravity president.
