Regarding Obama’s chances of getting re-elected in 2012, Grassley tells Newsmax: “I think that he is headed for defeat based upon three things.
"One, Obamacare. Two, the terrible situation with spending and the budget deficit and the fact that the economy is affected by that and jobs aren’t being created. And third, his attitude about America not being an exceptional nation. Probably for the last reason more so than any other, he ought not to be re-elected."
“We have a great deal of credibility based on the fact that we have been looked upon as a different nation, as a world leader, and he wants to put us as a second-class nation — or let’s put it this way, not first among nations. It’s a threat to peace, that position he’s taken.”

Can Mr. Grassley be serious? Could it be that the Republican candidates, all rejects from a casting for the featured actors in a Three Stooges look-a-like movie - as acknowledged by Glenn Beck, are better than Obama, in Grassley’s eyes? Where he chuckling as he made these remarks, I would have known that he was making a joke. As it is, Mr. Grassley is not joking and that is disturbing, to say the least.
In case Mr. Grassley is watching/listening, consider this:
- United States is now ranked 21st out of 27 of the industrialized nations in education.
- United States is now ranked 42nd when compared to the nations of the world in life expectancy, behind Cuba!
On your watch:
a. We financed two wars under your watch during the Bush 43 era.
b. We never had a balanced budget between 2000 and 2008.
c. We sold America’s birthrights to the Chinese for pennies on a dollar.
d. We oversaw the Republican destruction of the middle-class.
e. We saw the spending of over eight trillion dollars, for which we have no benefits.
f. We are witnessing the Republican response to creating jobs - none!
g. And lastly, sent the country into an economical tailspin, losing at its height – seven hundred jobs per month beginning in August of 2008.
You have the audacity to belittle this President! You and your Republican cohorts fought his every effort to resurrect the job market. You refused to allow the closing of Gitmo by defunding the project, even though there are three maximum security prisons in the United States begging for inmates – prisons that currently house other terrorist convicted in our civil courts.
You won’t, and for obvious reasons, give this President credit from turning the job loses around in six months, instead you ridicule and misrepresent his every remark and action as a way of doing what Sir, covering the shortcomings of One George W. Bush? Your comments are well received by a constituency that you have purposely denied a formal education, and continue address using terms and examples that incite the worst from them.
In a democracy, silence is not golden; it is condonance in the face of injustices; it is fear, where the thought of reprisal fosters control – Rodney A. Davis
