Barack Obama has done everything possible to destroy the glowing reputation he brought to the White House after his triumphs in the Democratic primaries and the general election of 2008. The most striking fact about the cloud of failure now surrounding him is that it’s entirely self-generated.
No credible Republican has been harassing him, leaping on his every mistake. Journalists of the liberal persuasion remain admirers. His most vocal detractors are loudmouthed commentators, unlikely to influence the independent voters who made Obama President. He has no one to blame.
This week, when Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana announced that he won’t seek re-election, despite his $13-million war chest and the fact that there’s no strong Republican opposing him, a Washington Post reporter wrote that his decision could suggest to other Democrats that “the energy so far this year is on the right.”

He is doing the best he can to accomplish his goals.
He is a Community Organizer, so he is incompetent to do anything else.
He has loaded the Administration up with people he admires, so they are doing the same thing.
He’s failing because he’s pushing leftist policies on the American people against their will. I’m surprised that he’s had as much success as he has.
Why is he failing? Simple: because he’s mentally ill, and incompetent for the office.
It may well be that as a front man, it is his job to make the financial system fail, along with his cronies, just like it was Yevgrav Zhivago’s job to see to it the Russians lost hope against the Germans in WWI, leading to the 1917 October Revolution.
Somebody needs to clue Fulford in about TOTUS.
The author at first glance appears to be on track, but when one reads the entire piece it becomes clear he reaches the right conclusion but for entirely the wrong reasons.
Barry is just not up to the task. He was surrounded by lefty propagandists throughout his career and he drank deeply from the propaganda well. He doesn’t understand how the real world functions. Despite spending trillions of dollars I see no tangible results and it appears that neither do the vast majority of voters.
“The most striking fact about the cloud of failure now surrounding him is that it’s entirely self-generated. “
Exactly. He just can’t help himself — he keeps defying the will of the people and they are finally catching on.
Was the insult to the Dalai Lama intentional (to give a signal to the Red Chinese) or just incompetence?
Narcissists don't go over well in anything in life for that matter. My son was married to one, every aspect of our lives was poisoned by her.
People, narcissisism is more than just being in love with yourself, it is much, much more dangerous than that!
Yes, the author had me at the beginning but then he veered off. Still, bottom line is Hussein is an empty suit and his handlers are out to ruin the country any way they can.
His agenda is pure socialism.
He was elected on false pretenses.
The democRats put a bunch of somewhat conservative candidates in office because they knew liberals would lose. Some of those guys aren't willing to betray their county.
The new media has competition and they can no longer keep the truth from the populace.
I’ve been with 2 myself. 1 really wrecked me up, thankfully I didn’t marry her. The 2nd was damaging, but quickly over :)
Please elaborate.
