You know things are going south for President Obama when one of the cornerstones of his adoring mainstream media starts to question his signature healthcare plan.
As Breitbart reports, NY Times writer Michael Shear says in a write-up today that Obama has lost the trust of Americans, and his failed Obamacare rollout is his "Katrina" moment.
Shear writes,
Barack Obama won the presidency by exploiting a political environment that devoured George W. Bush in a second term plagued by sinking credibility, failed legislative battles, fractured world relations and revolts inside his own party.
Mr. Obama is now threatened by a similar toxic mix. The disastrous rollout of his health care law not only threatens the rest of his agenda but has also raised questions about his competence in the same way that the Bush administration's botched response to Hurricane Katrina undermined any semblance of Republican efficiency.
Since he cannot blame the failure of the Affordable Care Act on President George W. Bush, President Obama has consistently pointed to Romneycare as an excuse. Most in the media have followed the White House talking points trying to compare Romneycare to Obamacare, I guess Shear did not get the memo.
