He is entirely correct. Obama has been a non-entity president, he has done nothing but passed a democratic budget designed on the hill. On the economy he has been more hamfisted than usual, and blown with populist idiocy winds on the rhetoric. But that is all going to muddle along under technocratic forces, with pols merely grandstanding around what was going to happen anyway. On foreign policy, the one place where he has the opportunity to truly be a disaster, he just hasn't done anything. At all. That doesn't help, most one can say.

He's a dumb Chicago pol out of his depth and the country is on autopilot. Since we have decent technocrats in responsible positions, that means some things will go OK. Since in others (budgeting, grand strategy) we rely on pols, others will be mucked up royally. That is quite completely all.

He’s a marxist. Ineptitude means nothing when you have marxists controlling both houses of congress as well.

Just on his military slashing alone, he is more dangerous than any president, ever.

And FWIW, Jimmy Carter nearly lost the cold war to the USSR in four short years.
