I know Bush had his own list of catastrophes; other Presidents did as well. Again, my point is not trying to adjudicate relative culpability, but rather just to remind us all how and why Obama dived over 20 points in the polls in just 11 months—and his speeches transformed from inspirational to caricatures.
In short, taken together, after nearly a year, these fissures have nearly ruined the once pretty texture of the Obama administration, and almost rendered it incapable of effective governance.
Here is a random selection. I provide no chronology or theme. Nor do I judge the relative importance of any one incident. The point, again, is only that each was a fissure, some small, some major—all were glued over. The result is that now the public understands that its china presidency is fragile and held together by mere glue.
Here it goes:
Constant apologies abroad for everything from slavery to Hiroshima
Bows to Saudi royalty, the Japanese emperor, and Chinese autocrats
The on-again/off-again Guantanamo shut-down mess
The fight with the former CIA directors
The public show trial of Khalid Sheik Mohammed
The reach out to Ahmadinejad Castro, Chavez, and assorted thugs....

Haven’t you heard? The left’s new meme is that Obama is the new Reagan.
BUMP! LOL!
ODUMBO reminds me of one of those bad jingle commericals, you heard on the radio every day and can get off you mind.
Hmmmm...No record of it...just like everything else in his resume.
Has any one person ever come forward and shared memories of BHO as a childhood friend? A college room mate? A buddy at the Harvard Law Review? A blind date set up by one of her mom’s friends? Anything? If one has, I missed it. It’s like the thing materialized on earth, like a Star Trek villain.
well said, and this question has been asked many times
aided and abetted by a media who investigated Joe the plumber Wurzelbacher more in 24 hours than they did Baraq in 24 months of the campaign
Bingo! And it includes his many boring appearances.
Sugarcoating this inept turd for public consumption just 'cause he happened to be "chocolate" will become the low water mark for the media.
All he had going in was speechefying, like Hillary said about 2004 Dem convention- and that is getting very tiresome. Nobody can 'talk' their way through a four year presidency- they'll be expected to act at some point- and he can't, doesn't know how, and would serve the country best if he just resigned, tomorrow.
I'm sure he didn't lie about scooping ice cream. /s
To quote a famous lesbian, “There is no there there.”
I don't think "tiring" is the right word, but the reason is that he is the first ***-of-a-***** to occupy public housing at 1600 Penn Ave to actively and openly work for the diminution of America.
I volunteer to do what I can to scuttle the b*****d's plans.
Why Are We Tiring of Obama?
Because he turned out to be the President that those of us who voted against him knew he would be, not the one his supporters were lead to believe he would be.
In the words of former Arizona Cardinal Coach Dennis Green (paraphrased), “he WAS who we THOUGHT he was! People want to crown him - then CROWN HIS ASS! But he WAS who we THOUGHT he was! And we let him off the hook!”
bump
I think the NYT published an interview with a roommate at Columbia. A Pakistani, who might conceivably have been involved in Obama's trip to Pakistan -- except they never asked about that.
At the time of the interview, the roommate was awaiting trial on a drug distribution charge. His second or third arrest, as I recall.
He said Obama was a great guy. And he was going to vote for him...
No, Doc, that’s why we’re irritated with him. We’re tired of him because he’s an egotistical, oblivious, ill-mannered oaf.
Ping !
Let me know if you want in or out. Links:

Good thing I never ran for President. My college thesis would have put the "sleep aid" industry out of business...lol. The final product was excellent, according to my professor, and I was proud of my work. But 150 pages on "Defense Contract Accounting" will cure the worst insomniac.
He's utterly incompetent at governing. He surrounds himself with Ivy League academics (with no real world experience) and Chicago political hacks.
10% unemployment
Using a sexual slur to refer to Americans (”teabagger”)...
That one always makes me laugh.
Problem for the hopey/changy Junk Media crowd is Reagan had all ready implemented an economic program that was turning around the economy. All Reagan had to do was wait it out for the results of his agenda to improve things.
Dear Reader, on the other hand, has done nothing but implement agenda items that will make the economy worse. Time is Obama's enemy, where it was Reagan's friend, since things are going to get worse, not better, in the months ahead.
