Obama's Waterloo

It is, perhaps, fitting that it was on this day, June 18 in 1815, that Napoleon met his Waterloo. For, 195 year later, to the day, it seems that Barack Hussein Obama (Milhous to those who know him), is meeting his own Waterloo, this time in the actual water of the Gulf of Mexico. The metaphor is so neat, it's almost trite, but I submit it anyway. It's also fitting that Napoleon lost the battle largely because he had to wait for the field to dry, it was too muddy to advance on.

So too, is today the beginning of the end for Milhous, since this is the first time in Rasmussen's survey of Obama's approval that the totality of likely voters approving of the president is only 41%. Reading the poll a different way, 58%, nearly 6 in 10, disapprove of his performance.

Technical stock analysts would consider this drop important because it penetrates a major resistance point, from here the bottom's the limit. Couldn't happen to a nicer, strike that, nastier guy.
