Henninger: Obama's Credibility Is Melting
The Wall Street Journal ^ | Oct. 23, 2013 7:14 p.m. ET | Dan Henninger

The collapse of ObamaCare is the tip of the iceberg for the magical Obama presidency.

From the moment he emerged in the public eye with his 2004 speech at the Democratic Convention and through his astonishing defeat of the Clintons in 2008, Barack Obama's calling card has been credibility. He speaks, and enough of the world believes to keep his presidency afloat. Or used to.

All of a sudden, from Washington to Riyadh, Barack Obama's credibility is melting.

For those of us who saw through his charade 6 years ago, he’s never had any credibility in the first place.

Of course, that made us all “racist”...

Col. Allen West portrayed it best here. Just view video, or, read the following eloquence from an early American intellectual and liberty-loving President:

Example:

1801 Inaugural Address of Thomas Jefferson (Excerpt)

"Let us, then, with courage and confidence pursue our own Federal and Republican principles, our attachment to union and representative government. Kindly separated by nature and a wide ocean from the exterminating havoc of one quarter of the globe;

too high-minded to endure the degradations of the others;

possessing a chosen country, with room enough for our descendants to the thousandth and thousandth generation;

entertaining a due sense of our equal right to the use of our own faculties, to the acquisitions of our own industry, to honor and confidence from our fellow-citizens, resulting not from birth, but from our actions and their sense of them;

enlightened by a benign religion, professed, indeed, and practiced in various forms, yet all of them inculcating honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude, and the love of man;

acknowledging and adoring an overruling Providence, which by all its dispensations proves that it delights in the happiness of man here and his greater happiness hereafter—with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people?

Still one thing more, fellow-citizens—a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities."- Thomas Jefferson

Credibility? He has been inept since day one in office with failed programs like Cash for Clunkers, Porkulus, Obamacare, Recovery Summer (Bummer), etc. Complete failure. He is coming up on 6 years on office and the economy is worse than when he started. Blows my mind.

“That’s rascist” has been the attack/excuse for this epic fail of a presidency.
