As always, the author makes excellent points well worth reading.

President Obama’s postmortem press conference was a near disaster. He seemed subdued, but also sometimes petulant...

He is always petulant!

4. Race

f). Maine and New Hampshire, with the huge flips at the state level, are now shown to be the most racist part of the country. Who knew?

Great deconstruction of Obama's frighteningly clueless and infuriatingly venal press conference performance.

I'd bet $10,000 he's out of here in two years, to be remembered as a failed president, like his spiritual godfather Carter. He doesn't have the strength or knowledge to "triangulate", as Clinton did in this situation.

While I agree with the article, there's a point or two to be made.

He wasted millions of legislative hours on health care that terrified employers, and very little on incentives to businesses to create jobs.

Here is another example of not denying the premise. The author seems to accept and argue around the idea that it's the Federal Government's job to create jobs. I reject the idea that it is ANY business of the Federal Government to create incentives to businesses to create jobs. It's just not any of the Fed's business. Their business is to stay on the sidelines of a fair playing field and throw penalty flags when things get out of hand.

Point two, I don't buy the notion that Obama was elected based on voter anger over the Iraq/Afghanistan war. I say he was elected because Conservatives didn't have an option on the ballot. Only leftists were upset about the war enough to vote in a blank sheet of paper with no vetting. 'Cain was vetted and found lacking. Palin was the only reason many of us got out and voted.

Good article though!

He can talk all he wishes, but until he offers fiscal responsibility

"Fiscal responsibility" is a near useless term with two very different meanings: to the right it primarily means spending cuts, to the left it primarily means raising taxes. The left is adamant that Obama has offered all kinds of "fiscal responsibility".

Obummer is not going to have any more press conferences. The State Controlled media will oblige him by falling into lockstep with his wishes.

5. Too many Americans are bitter clingers (guns & religion).
