President Obama is going to lose his bid for re-election. Not just because of the anemic recovery, stubborn unemployment, runaway spending, staggering deficits, lack of public faith in his ability as commander-in-chief, his hostility towards Israel's government, the rise of the Tea Party, or the Republican-favoring implications of redistricting on the electoral map. Those are all factors, and the coming months will provide endless columns discussing each. (Of this I am sure, for I intend to write some of them.)
But there is a more fundamental reason he'll lose: Barack Obama, once perceived as extraordinary, now just seems extra-ordinary. He has gotten politically boring. And America does not re-elect boring presidents.
Obama isn't boring in the same conventional, square, policy-wonk manner of so many other politicians; he still acts cool, plays basketball, and parties with Hollywood's A-list. But as a president he has become boring: he is tiresome, unpersuasive, divisive, repetitive, predictable, and cynical -- importantly, the opposite of everything advertised himself to be.
Somewhere along the way, the once-soaring speeches of The Great Orator degenerated into longwinded clichés delivered in a grating, repetitive cadence. The electric smile morphed into a frequent scowl. Inspiring messages have given way to blaming everyone else for the lack of success of his policies and scolding his subjects for not "stepping up their game." His every word seems politically calculated rather than anchored by principle. He's shown little ability to electrify, motivate, persuade or unify anyone-except his political opposition. The country seems tired of him.

The Magnificent Moslem.
Omoslem is something PT Barnum would marvel at.
The Incompetent, Narcissistic, POS.
He’s making a lot of speeches and wearing out his welcome. Especially since the country seems to be getting no better and the only solutions he offers are the same ones that already haven’t worked.
Raise the deficit? Been there, done that.
Raise taxes on “the rich”? Check.
More government spending? Yuppers.
We’ve tried Keynesian and Kenyan and all it has given us is near bankruptcy and depressed markets. But Obama, for all his talking *has no other ideas*.
That’s all he’s got, folks and it’s already failed. Only a fool wants more of that.
That’s why America is tired of him. He’s a proven failure who has nothing else to offer than what already hasn’t worked. Every day he goes out and tries to lecture us, I think he drives away more independents,
He’s been trying to give speeches without a teleprompter and his real ugly self is shining through more now. Mr. Marxist is a boring, stern and mean guy. “Eat your peas! Get over to my office and do what I tell you to do!”
I guess the teleprompter jokes were getting to them. So much for the “soaring speeches.” Without the teleprompter spiting out prepared speeches, its just naked obammy snipping class warfare nonsense at the public. Remember when he took teleprompters into the classroom to talk with the kiddos? LOL
“Perhaps Obama is the Menudo President, the Britney Spears of politics. And America has outgrown its infatuation.”
Obama is one of the Back Street Boys. The back streets is where he came from and to the back streets he should return. The sooner, the better.
Yeah but if the GOP can find a way to hand him re-election, well....
Okay, well that’s rhetorical and I’m only half serious but if they really run Romney we may have a very bad Bob Dole style redux coming on.
The author doesn’t get it. Affirmative Action means that he gets graded up on a curve. That’s PC.
Barry Half-White
First one I remember was his phony baseball stories.
"You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer, beautiful people up there," Obama said, according to ESPN transcripts. "People aren't watching the game. It's not serious. "....You know we always tease about the Cubs, they you know, they’re up at Wrigley and sipping wine…:"
I don't ever recall seeing anyone drink wine at a baseball game (well, maybe the parking lot winos). But he HAS to throw in the class warfare.
Then there was the moats and alligators line. Peoples lives are being literally destroyed, and this arrogant ass makes flat jokes.
I really can't stand the sound of his voice.
Don't want to rain on our parade, but what about the MSM's conventional wisdom that "independents" will blame the Republicans for the breakdown in the debt/deficit talks to the benefit of the great usurper? Some polls, however cooked up they may be, do show that.
DUMBER THAN DIRT
When Obama has a TelePrompTer, he can deliver a great speech. After all, this is how he got elected.
When he tried to govern the same way (by giving soaring speeches) he found out to his horror that it doesn’t work that way. He tried changing his tone.
Unfortunately he’s a one trick pony.
