Jonathan And His " Enemies"

I submit that president Goodluck Jonathan and president Barrack Obama are facing opposition  that uses similar strategy.In the case of obama who will face Mitt Romney of the Republican party in November, the plot to make sure that he would be a one term president was exposed shortly after he became president.In his column in The New York Times of September 9,2012, Paul Krugman, in an article aptly titled:"Obstruct and Exploit" noted that the reason why Obama failed to create as many jobs for the unemployed as expected was because the Republican dominated House obstructed his efforts in their avowal to make him a one term president. The Republicans killed the Jobs Act that would have created millions of jobs because they were against any policy that will help the economy to grow and thus hence Obama's chance for reelection.As a matter of fact it was Senate Minority Leader,Mitch McConnell who said that the major concern of Republican senators was to make sure that Obama is a one term president even if their action will hurt ordinary American.In the case of Jonathan he was not handicapped by the opposition controlling the House of Representatives or the Senate,but by the debate over who should be president in 2015.Many of the policies of Jonathan are opposed even more militantly by his fellow PDP members at the National Assembly and elsewhere especially those who want him to pack his bags and head to his village in Bayelsa state in 2015 .They want him to fail but Jonathan is not helping himself as he keeps taking anti-people decision like the removal of subsidy,N5000 note saga and other questionable decisions that depicts him as clueless.
