I took a graduate level course many years ago, ‘The American Presidency, and got an ‘A’, and recall a political science axiom. Believe it was (or very close to): ‘The strength of the presidency reflects the state of the country.’
Even Barry’s staunch supporters must admit among themselves that his presidency is tanking and unfortunately, we’re along for the ride. Two more years ... maybe a Republican can start to straighten out this huge mess he’s going to leave behind.
(But no ‘Republican from the conservative wing of the Democratic party’!)

I have to say I have a problem with this. Obama does what he wants. He enforces laws that don't exist. He ignores laws that do exist. He rules by executive order. The GOP is pretty much in his pocket, and helps push his agenda.

As a man, Obama is weak, and I have no respect for him. But as a president? He is strong. He's as close to a dictator as this country has ever had.

A tyrant in the White House shows that the country is weak.

I personally don't know any who would admit anything of the sort. And even those who perhaps voted for Zeroman in the first election but recognized the damage that he is striving so hard to inflict on the nation and abstained from voting for his re-election won't do anything more than remain silent either out of embarrassment or lingering misguided partisan loyalty.
