The article is right, Obama has a lot of things going against him, most of which he caused or exacerbated. The Soviets and Chinese are joined by the Muslims in causing trouble around the world. The economy has crumbled due to Republicans joining Democrats in overspending and overregulating. The productivity gains from high tech have been absorbed for the most part and have leveled off. Taxes are higher than they should be for optimal growth.
