Golly gee whiz who would’ve thought that a young man with a paper thin resume, virtually no experience in the private sector, no legislative accomplishments, protected and propped up by a sycophantic media, a huge sense of entitlement combined with a messianic complex, a man who has a very poor image of America’s history and the role it has played on the world stage, does not believe in American exceptionalism, and who surrounded himself all his life with Marxists and neo-Socialists, an overbearing sanctimonious sense that only his “way” is the right way – would make a piss-poor president. No I could not see that coming.

His message is wrong. He’s not showing enough anger. He’s lost control of the narrative. He’s a victim of bad luck and big oil.
It’s excuse time in the fudge factory. President Obama is getting lots of cover and advice from his left-leaning media friends. Their ideas run the gamut from public relations to, well, public relations.
Beyond the irony of journalists urging more spin from a politician, the really remarkable fact is that none dare consider the possibility that Obama is simply not up to the job. It is a scary thought, but evidence of consistent failure is overwhelming.
The high point of his presidency came the day he took office. Since then, a majority of Americans has opposed virtually all his major policies and he has prevailed on several only because of large Democratic congressional advantages.
The problems are growing, but he’s not. If he were, we’d see green shoots of improvement.
Instead, the White House is going backwards at home and abroad and shows no ability to adjust. Like a cult, it interprets every reversal as proof of its righteousness and of others’ malignancy.
What started out as a whiff of rookie incompetence has become a suffocating odor. It’s hard to find a single area where Obama’s policies are a convincing success.
