The Quinnipiac poll getting buzz this week may be worthless, but the general topic of evaluating Barack Obama is another opportunity to make an important point: almost everything about Obama's presidency can be explained by saying he’s a Democratic president. He’s an interesting man, but as president he’s become about as generic as possible.
By saying he’s a generic Democratic president, I’m not arguing that he’s performed perfectly; I’m saying that his performance is neither significantly above or below par.
Let's hear it, Obama critics or Obama supporters. Where have his particular skills, preferences or personality produced anything that sets him apart from the generic Democratic president?

You know they are desperate when the damage control is reduced to “He’s not any worse than any other democrat”
If O’s performance is representative of a “generic” democrat president, then that just goes to show how bad democrat presidents are on average.
The guy lost me at: He’s an interesting man.
What in the Hell is in the water in Chicago? This freaking moron posing as the President of the United States makes Jimmy Carter look competent!
I’d say that he’s actually the “ideal Democrat” in the sense that he promotes the party line to a “T” and gets the results that reality has in store for such idiocy.
What makes him worse than his Democrat predecessors is his inability or unwillingness to let ideology go to get better results. In large part because he doesn’t want better results.
I disagree. Obama basically said “to hell with” even his own party to push for his agenda. When he took office, the Dems owned both the Senate and the House which, under his watch, went right back to the bumbling go-along-to-get-along GOP.
He exploited his race to make himself above criticism but there was no hiding the disaster of his policies’ effect on our economy and our reputation around the world.
I hope (though not sure who notices) that by actually implementing long-held Democrat positions, Obama proved their folly just as Bill Clinton demonstrated the folly of feminist groups who stuck with him during every personal assault against women.
Maybe some Democrats are noticing. Maybe some GOP-e are noticing too and finding the courage not to just go-along with all of Obama’s extremism and lawlessness.
“He’s a generic Marxist.”
Unfortunately, in America today, a generic Democrat and a generic Marxist is pretty much the same thing.
Obama is a lying, Marxist, phony. End of sentence. Any other description of him is whitewash.
Kinda takes it out of the “generic” category.
Apparently not interesting enough for the MSM to discover any facts in his background.
Can anyone point to one good achievement that is his?
These days, that’s synonymous with “generic democrat”, though, isn’t it?
Hmmm...the MSM has a creative new approach to distance “O” from his disastrous Presidencies.
Not going to fly...BUT “O” really DOES have a ‘Brand X’ intellect. :)
I’m sure his golf score is lower than it was 6 years ago...
So a Marxist who has played more golf than any president ever, presided over the worst recovery since WWII, made unprecedented use of executive orders, attacked our rights, and let down our allies and supported our enemies is a “generic Democrat president”?
OK, if you say so. It’s like I always say: Friends don’t let friends vote for Democrats.
Wow, talk about damned with faint praise.
FDR loved America. Truman was a patriot. JFK believed in American exceptionalism. LBJ’s lack of concern for our troops in Vietnam was pretty disgusting, but he liked America. Jimmy Carter was a terrible and antisemitic president, but he didn’t hate our country and actually liked Christians. Bill Clinton was the most revolting sleaze ever to stain our White House, but he more or less liked our country and wasn’t terrible when it came to job performance.
Obama hates Jews (like Jimmy Carter), hates America (unlike anyone who ever occupied our White House), and is shockingly inept in all respects except for playing the race card and keeping the media in line.
Yep...he’s a generic DemonRAT Pres. They ALL SUCK!
