Obama’s Big Surprise
October 6th, 2009 by Jeff JawerThe enthusiasm that greeted Barack Obama’s election as U.S. President remains high among his core supporters, yet more than eight months in office has not yet produced the results his campaign promised. As we were reminded on last week’s Saturday Night Live, Guantanamo is still open, U.S. troops are still in Iraq, the economy is floundering, health care reform is stalled, Iran’s nuclear plans are unclear, and Afghanistan threatens to turn into a Vietnam-like quagmire for U.S. forces. One can argue with some justification that these are due to forces beyond Obama’s control, however, his political future could be on the line.
On September 15 I wrote about serious Saturn’s transit over Obama’s Mars in Virgo* and its importance as a measure of his ability to advance his agenda. Thus far we haven’t seen evidence of any new effectiveness on his part. Still with the action planet Mars in his secretive 8th House, we don’t know about any behind-the-scenes negotiations that may be working in his favor. Nevertheless, it’s possible that if he cannot take greater control of the legislative process, his presidency will be damaged beyond repair.
There is, however, one more card in the astrological deck that could radically alter the direction of Obama’s term in office. Surprising Uranus, which did not provide any dramatic shifts with its third opposition to Saturn in mid-September, stops dead in its tracks on December 1 while making a potent opposition to Obama’s Mars. This could be a key moment when he might pull a rabbit out of his hat. He may respond with unexpected boldness to regain authority and get his agenda on track. Or will the president’s Mars in cautious Virgo resist this opportunity for a major breakthrough?
Barack Obama is a Leo, a sign known for strong will and charisma. While there’s no doubting his charm, it appears that his adaptable Moon in Gemini has undercut his authority. The desire to bring together diverse interests is, in principle, a positive trait. Yet in these uncertain times the U.S. public may crave a powerful leader more than an adaptable one. Whether Obama can play that role or not is uncertain, but he’s heading into the second act of his presidency and doesn’t have long to wait.
*Barack Obama was born August 4, 1961 at 7:24 pm in Honolulu, Hawaii.

I think that the red neck population it is responsible of the opposition because they are interested in they own financial gain ,the war bring lots of revenue to the politician investors on weapon production ,no war no sales ,so they need a war any wear , if is no one they created one. In effect US troops are in an other vietnam ,the president Obama should bring the troops back home and end Mr.Bush war ,remember this war was created to avenge his dad .,He should sit on the opposition of those Republicans/Democrat . that opposed to his plan for Health Care agin there is capital gain millions made sit behind a desk with a tree pieces suit , he need to get his agenda in track,after all he is THE PRESIDENT

Any president that has to surrounds himself with over 40 Czars for advice to make policies and major decisions on how to run the country is way over his head. The majority of these so called Czars have corrupt backgrounds and there are too many things that the American people doesn’t know about his background. I am fed up with the lies and corruption in Washington among the Democrats and Republicans! The President and Congress needs to take stock and remember that they work for us! They all act like celebrities and I am sick of it. They think that the American people are stupid well I have news we ARE NOT! VOTE THEM OUT IN 2010 - 2012!!!
VOTE THEM OUT IN 2010-2012!!

President Obama is just a man, not a Super Hero, he inherited this nightmare from the Bush and his administration, you cannot fix overnight what took 8 years of iqnorance to create. My prayers go to him, deep inside I know he is a good man and will do whats right for this country. Haters be damned, stand for something or you will fall for anything! “GOT HOPE” I Do!
